When Li Chan attended a cocktail party with her advisor, she spotted the Chinese man among a crowd of white people at once. Like her, he had yellow skin, black hair, and dark eyes. For the first time in her life, she worked up the courage to approach him and ask, "Hi, can I add you on WeChat?"
Far from home, two people from the same country found comfort in each other, and their relationship quickly grew closer. Then, as the holidays approached, they sat curled up together on the sofa looking at plane tickets. The man said he wanted to take Li Chan to meet his parents.
Li Chan ran away completely.
She applied for a leave of absence, changed her flight, and disappeared into the crowd, silently cutting every tie between them.
She went alone to the north, where the aurora shone as brightly as ever beneath the night sky.
The phone she'd left behind in the rental house lit up.
"Remember to attend your engagement party with Rui Xi in three days."
Li Chan had never imagined that, in a country as vast as China, she would run into the ex-boyfriend she'd abruptly abandoned at the same cocktail party. She certainly never expected her friend to point at him and say that he was her uncle.
Huo Zhaoxing looked grim, his gaze fixed on Li Chan as if she were the most wicked person in the world. He raised his glass and said in an inscrutable tone, "Ms. Li, what a pleasure."
