Falling in Love with You

Li Xia loses a game of Truth or Dare with her friends.

Afraid of answering an embarrassing question, she promptly chooses a dare.

A friend who has long wanted the latest gossip about Li Xia's love life: What a lucky break!

Friend: "Message the single person of the opposite sex you contact most often and tell him, 'I saw someone I know at the hospital.'"

Li Xia hesitates, struggling to speak: "Uh... the person who fits that description... is someone I met online."

"Putting it that way... that's too mean."

Friend: !!!

Have you been secretly dating someone online behind my back?!!!

The friend, brimming with gossip and curiosity, immediately changes her tune and tells Li Xia to send him three voice messages, either confessing her true feelings while drunk or sounding lovesick.

The three voice messages basically say:

"I miss you."

"I want to see you."

"I really, really want to see you."

Less than three minutes after sending the voice messages, Li Xia gets a reply from her online friend:

[Online Friend]: Me too

The ticket was booked one minute ago, for a flight departing at 2 a.m., just four hours later.

Li Xia remembers that this was the earliest flight to where she lives.
