37-Year-old Zhu Yuqing is what relatives call "expired milk on supermarket shelves" - in China, she has a decent education and a stable job, but she is labeled a "leftover girl" because she is "older and unmarried" and suffers a lot of gossip. Unable to endure it, she fled to Atlanta, USA, with all her savings, and joined her cousin who owned a Chinese restaurant, and became the most silent dishwasher in the kitchen.
She thought her life would be like this until she was delivering food and met Lin Xiuyuan, the 35-year-old CTO of TechNovate, a Ph. D. In computer science from MIT. He was young, promising, handsome and elegant, and was a hot golden bachelor in the Chinese circle. What shocked her even more was that this talented person turned out to be her junior student whom she had met during a design competition ten years ago.
"Zhu Yuqing, do you still remember me?" He handed over the business card with a smile, his eyes filled with heat that she couldn't understand.
"Mr. Lin, you have recognized the wrong person." She lowered her head and tightened her apron, not daring to admit that she was the "expired product" who was once high-spirited and now in a state of embarrassment.
——In the United States, no one cares about the shelf life of milk unless she gives up the fragrance first.
From avoidance to temptation, from low self-esteem to calmness, this foreign love that spans age, class and preference finally made Cheng Yuqing understand: the real "expiration" starts from the moment you accept your fate.
