   Wednesday, time moved at a leisurely pace. The sky over Xitang was a clear blue, without a single cloud. On my way to the service window to pick up my documents, I hesitated whether to send a message to Le Yao. CC's words made me uneasy, fearing something unexpected might happen. But I had promised Le Yao yesterday that I would inform her, so she should be filming on set now and wouldn't have time. "Big shot Le, my travel permit has finally come through, I have to fly to Hong Kong today." I sent the message I had prepared, and immediately added another message: "If you don't have time, don't bother. I'll take you out to play next time." A few seconds later, Le Yao replied with a voice message, her voice carrying a slightly domineering yet charming tone: "See you in Pudong, don't even think about sneaking away by yourself." She then added a fist-throwing emoji. I was a little puzzled; did she really not have to film today? I glanced at the time; it would take at least two hours to get from Hengdian to Pudong. I sent Le Yao a voice message: "Waiting for you at the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan departure area. No waiting after 12 o'clock." I was looking forward to Le Yao's reply, but this time she didn't respond immediately. I wondered what she was busy with, but I really only planned to wait for her until 12 o'clock. For this long trip abroad, neither of us had even called each other to discuss the details. Perhaps this was going to be a journey just for me… After submitting the previous processing receipt at the public security service window, I easily retrieved my documents. Back at the guesthouse, Tong Zi was already busy at the bar, looking much better than when she was sleeping. "Here, Mr. Tong brought you breakfast." Tong looked up and saw it was me. He put his hand on the bar, raised an eyebrow, and gestured with his chin. "Hey Yang, where are you going with your guitar?" "So early? Are there already pretty girls up in Xitang?" "I only remember those old ladies washing clothes." I ignored Tong's childish teasing, but his words provided inspiration for the charity event a few days later. I put the breakfast on the counter and then said to him seriously, "I'm going on a trip soon. If anything happens at the inn, take care of yourself." Before I finished speaking, Tong excitedly asked, "Are you going to find me a girlfriend?" "What are you thinking, kid?" "Can't you be a little more innocent?" I scolded Tong irritably. "What's innocuous about it?" "You're a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an empty one!" Tong retorted stubbornly. Seeing his eagerness, I suddenly laughed. I really wanted to tell him, "I'm hungry too!" "Boss Tong, you'd better manage these two inns well." "Otherwise, what will people eat and drink if they follow you around?" "Your business is my business. I promise to find you a good sister-in-law." I patted my chest and assured Tong. Tong didn't react for a moment, and was even a little touched, blushing and grinning at me. "Brother Yang, how long are you going to be gone this time?" "About three or four days, soon." "Then I'll be left alone in an empty room again." Tong finished speaking and sighed meaningfully. Tong, just bear with it. These two inns will be a wedding gift for you and Xiaojun. After returning to my room, I packed two sets of summer clothes in my travel bag from my last trip to Guizhou, stuffed my phone charger in, and made sure my ID card, Hong Kong and Macau travel permit, and bank cards were all in the bag. I rummaged through the closet and found an embroidered pure white polo shirt to change into, paired it with matching shorts and sneakers, and put on my aviator sunglasses. I tugged at the collar of my polo shirt in front of the mirror; it looked pretty good overall, a perfect mix-and-match style. All I was missing was a golf club. I tossed my travel bag into the trunk and was about to drive away when Tongzi chased after me from the inn, clinging to the doorframe and shouting seriously, "Yang-ge, you said you'd find me a good sister-in-law… that's not right!" I chuckled at his delayed reaction and leaned against the car door, replying, "Would your Yang-ge lie to you?" "Like when I told you I knew Le Yao!" Tongzi thought for a moment, then nodded, seemingly believing me. "Let's go." I started the engine, floored the gas pedal, and the car slowly began to move. The white walls and gray tiles in the rearview mirror started to recede, and Tongzi was still waving goodbye at the door. … When I arrived at the "Pudong Airport Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Departure" area, there was less than an hour until noon. I didn't know if Le Yao would show up. If she didn't, should I be disappointed or happy? After smoking a cigarette at the departure hall entrance, I went inside, found a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, put my bag down, and checked my flight information on my phone. The next flight to Hong Kong was in two hours. No new messages popped up on my phone screen; Le Yao's chat window was still showing the message from this morning: "See you at Pudong, don't even think about sneaking off alone." I twirled my phone around a few times, suddenly finding it a little funny. I was the one who said "no exceptions," yet I kept glancing towards the entrance. The uncle at the next seat was munching on a bacon sandwich, and the aroma made me realize I was a little hungry. Just as I got up to buy a coffee, I caught a glimpse of a figure in a floral-patterned, wide-brimmed bucket hat, the brim pulled low, who gently nudged my arm with their elbow as they passed by. "11:40, not late." Le Yao took off her hat, her sunglasses slipped down to the tip of her nose, winked at me, and said coquettishly, "Hmph, looks like someone didn't dare to run away early." After saying that, Le Yao put her hat back on and pushed her glasses back up. "Le Yao?" "What? Don't you recognize this young lady?" Le Yao stood there, her light blue tennis skirt suit with white trim accentuating her figure. The collar of her short-sleeved top was adorned with delicate embroidery, and the hem of the skirt gently clung to her fair thighs, carrying a touch of sporty playfulness. She wore a pair of white Gucci sneakers, the red and green stripes on the sides of the shoes particularly eye-catching in the light, perfectly echoing the mini chain bag in the same color scheme in her hand. The floral wide-brimmed bucket hat she had been wearing was casually slung on her bag, revealing a loosely tied low ponytail, with a few strands of hair falling beside her cheeks, both sweet and cool, like she had just come off the tennis court, exuding a sunny aura. "Still looking?" She lightly kicked my shoe with her toe. "Didn't you say you were flying to Hong Kong? Your flight might not wait for you." I snapped out of my daze, wanting to ask if she had turned down filming to come, if she had eaten on the way, and even what was with her refreshing tennis outfit? "Don't you have filming today?" "I asked for leave last night." Was she waiting for me? "We look great together today," I said, as if making conversation. Le Yao pulled me around halfway, scanning me from head to toe, then glanced at her light blue suit and grinned, "Wow, it does match. Did you know I was going to wear sportswear and deliberately match my style?" She took a half step closer to me, her fragrance mingling with the scent of sunshine. I then noticed a small pearl earring behind her ear, a sweet contrast to her sporty look. Le Yao and I walked into the lobby, talking as we went. "It's purely coincidental." I coughed lightly and shifted my gaze to the bag in her hand. "Didn't bring any luggage?" "It's only a two or three-day vacation, a small bag is enough." She shook the mini chain bag in her hand, the metal chain making a soft tinkling sound. "Besides, how can you go to Hong Kong without shopping?" Her small bag could probably only hold two lipsticks at most. "Shopping? You still have money?" I teased Yueyao deliberately. Le Yao abruptly stopped, slamming her sunglasses up onto her head. Her eyes widened, and her voice rose an octave, laced with a fiery temper: "Zhao Yang! How dare you say that?!" She took another step closer, her light blue skirt taut with the movement, pointing at my nose and yelling angrily, "Shouldn't I get some pocket money?" "You should, you should," I quickly took a half-step back, avoiding her angry gaze, and said ingratiatingly, "Don't be angry, it's not like I won't pay you back." "I doubt it. You might as well prepare to sell yourself." Le Yao finished with a chuckle, then quickened her pace, heading straight for the Shanghai Airlines counter. ...
