A few times when I brought Wu Miao out for food, Ruying insisted on tagging along. Wu Miao did not like her and bickered with her a lot. One time Wu Miao even pissed Ruying off, and she left. Then Wu Miao asked me, “Bro, are you not going after her?”

“Why would I go after her? I didn’t want her to come along.”

Hearing this, Wu Miao’s face immediately lit up. “That’s my brother. This type of white-lotus lady is not suitable for you. I sure as hell wouldn’t want her to be my sister-in-law.”

I let out a chuckle and asked, “What type of sister-in-law would you want then?”

“Someone truthful and honest, not a faker. Someone that understands you, takes care of you, and wishes the best for you. Definitely not the kind Miss Cheng is: a brainless white-lotus that cares only about romance.”

……

The nostalgia seemed like the yellowish light shining down on us, giving the room a mellow feeling and immediately enveloping me in it. I raised my face and caught Tan Jiao’s gaze through the yellow hue.

Her facial features seemed particularly delicate under the soft light. I knew she was probably eavesdropping on my conversion, yet this did not affect her eating, as half of the food on her table was already gone. Holding a glass of beer in one hand and a stick of barbequed squid in the other, Tan Jiao kept side-eying me. When I looked in her direction, she would quickly look away.

Even though bitter feelings already filled my heart, a gentle smile appeared on my face as I looked at Tan Jiao while thinking about Wu Miao’s words.

“Professor, how did Ruying change so drastically?”

Professor Chen paused before saying, “She saw her mother, grandmother, and aunt...die in a fire.”

I was shocked.

There was also something else I found out.

I had to bring Wu Miao on the trip, but I was busy with work at that time, so professor Chen introduced me to that cruise we ultimately went on. At a later time, I found out that Chen Ruying and her mother had also signed up for the same trip.

They were also on that ship.

Afterwards, something also happened to their family.
