No Plagiarism!R60JCsPUNBp92g74gxZqposted on PＥNAＮＡ Cin Heung sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at the opened suitcase. She was checking its contents.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4CHsz6PN4 維尼

“Tops, pants, skirts… Oh! Charger!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TsE52GIoM 維尼

Tonight, she was packing up for the trip.. She ran around, putting one thing after another into the suitcase while her clothes were packed neatly inside. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM4sofiIcm 維尼

Her mother watched her go back and forth like a bee and couldn’t help saying, “You’ve packed so many things. How long will you be staying there?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzgATZ8vD 維尼

“About a month.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8RkRjSYQg 維尼

“Oh… Yeah, you should. That girl is your high school classmate after all, marrying someone’s a really important stage in life too!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEmWSKhhue 維尼

“She’s happy that I could be with her.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yYeHcXDua 維尼

Her mother suddenly thought about something. Not long ago, her daughter had plans to get married, but now she was helping her friend with hers instead. The world really was a funny place indeed.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD3LjoHRwq 維尼

“Daughter! Come here for a second.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiCqmWFOlO 維尼

“Mom! What’s the matter? I’m busy!” Even though she said that, she still sat down next to her mother.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbAXNw5DKk 維尼

Her mother looked at her pretty eyes and could figure out what she felt deep in her heart. Only a mother would know; her mother would know if she was happy or deep in sorrow. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu62JTPsSX 維尼

Her mother still liked to caress her daughter’s hair, so she caressed it from top to bottom. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOruOJMx2w 維尼

Cin Heung looked at her mother with a smile and asked, “Mom, what’s the matter? Treating me like a kid all of a sudden.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPBoL1jqiG 維尼

“Things have been hard for you recently, so just take this trip to relax. You don’t have to worry about us. Just be happy!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvqvwLTQ3N 維尼

“Mom, I know.” She looked at her mother affectionately and said, “It seems that you’re still worried about me! Mom, I’m an adult already!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8dZ7IKvqs 維尼

“Ho, someone’s talking big.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxtfV964rI 維尼

“What?” Cin Heung pursed her lips and complained, “At least my mouth’s not big!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6xRr5KrZ 維尼

“Making fun of mom now?! Haven’t you heard that having a child will cause 99 years of headache?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEuMxVTUJ2 維尼

The mother and daughter both giggled. Cin Heung held her mother and buried her head in her bosom and said, “I know, I know! Mom cares about Cin Heung the most.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5iGPWA0jQ 維尼

“Silly girl!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZJv8JcKJR 維尼

At that moment, her father came out from the room and saw them holding each other and laughing. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Y9OMqQFX 維尼

“What’s the joke? Let’s hear it.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvvIbfM79Z 維尼

Cin Heung said, “Secret!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfJRE3brJD 維尼

“What a brat!” Her father looked at the suitcase and asked, “Have you finished packing?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95bs63YIa 維尼

“Almost.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8to4LGcoj 維尼

“Siu Cin, when will you take me to see the world?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡOziViFYrqh 維尼

“Dad, the last time we went to Japan, you said that our home was the best.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡus9ZcjVUu6 維尼

“Did I say that?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlovM58xhW 維尼

“You’re playing forgetful again!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyeqsqXdYZ 維尼

Her mother also chimed in, “You definitely did! You even said that Japanese bread doesn't taste good and is just like toys, and they don’t taste as delicious as master Yeung’s around the street!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡzceVWYiGx7 維尼

When Cin Heung heard this, she suddenly realized something and asked, “The old baker’s surname is Yeung?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrhz8YUqHc 維尼

Her father said, “That’s right! Unfortunately, the rent was too high for him. After paying the rent, he couldn’t hire any employees. His son would rather work overseas than coming back to take over the business. In the end, with no one helping him, he decided to retire and close shop. Sigh... His craft would be lost too.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Qya3C9nb 維尼

Cin Heung checked the stuff in her suitcase again while saying, “Father, you seem to know him very well!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzSh8Zp8ZZ 維尼

“We chat a little!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fk8dnMA30 維尼

“It’s a pity people around here won’t be able to enjoy his baking anymore,” Cin Heung said in disappointment.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQAlwVfkwD 維尼

“Siu Cin! Why don’t you take over the shop? You don’t have a job anyway, and you can bake delicious bread!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrlXvwBxT4 維尼

“Don’t make me laugh, dad! You think it’s that easy to open a shop?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgFqT3FLpA 維尼

“That’s right dear! Don’t interfere with Siu Cin’s life.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9AHjNBrI3 維尼

“Oh! Cosmetics!... The two of you, please don’t get in my way! Get out of the way!” Cin Heung began packing up again.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdusHATZbR 維尼

The next day, as the sun hung high along with a refreshing breeze, the horizon seemed endless and the blue sky looked vast and fresh.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxwxqomuTd 維尼

Soon, a seven seater car arrived at Cin Heung’s residence and stopped. Man Ching drove the car while Wing Tung was sitting in the front passenger seat. Except for Cin Heung, the other three girls were already in the car, gossiping and laughing in the back. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3o6LiUW24 維尼

Man Ching acted dumb and didn’t speak, while Wing Tung’s face was red and seemed embarrassed. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDsxvnMz6O 維尼

Sum Ting said, “Wing Tung, why do you always sit in front like the host!"8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgSkHJQ0Mr 維尼

“Because… I... I... Man Ching picked me up first, that’s why I ended up in the front seat.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5awzicPFqM 維尼

Man Ching then reaffirmed, “That’s right! I picked her up first because her place was the closest.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHbaYp5fBs 維尼

Gou Jing asked, “That’s strange. Isn’t your sister’s home closer?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡghsBBLAXgM 維尼

Man Ching answered, “That’s… because she’s often late!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNSdcsZf1h 維尼

The door suddenly opened and the person outside said, “Who’s late?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNWTeDNTe3 維尼

Sum Ting, Manman and Gou Jing said in unison, “You!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW3va48oaR 維尼

The laughter of the three women echoed in the car.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9W73VTNQ8 維尼

Cin Heung refuted, “Hey, I’m always punctual!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCMSainfTZ 維尼

Manman said, “Ask your brother then.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb5XT3Narz 維尼

“Turnip, are you talking ill of me?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmBtTKy9mE 維尼

“No! It must be a misunderstanding! Okay! Everybody’s here, I’m gonna drive to the airport. Don’t disturb the driver.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3sHrVcQ7q 維尼

Cin Heung looked at Man Ching suspiciously and then at the three women, who all showed a sly look. Sum Ting twitched her mouth then used her eyes to signal to Cin Heung about Wing Tung and Man Ching.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFPH6epUSF 維尼

Cin Heung immediately understood and nodded her head with a smile. She poked her head in between the front seats, looked at Wing Tung on the left and Man Ching on the right. Out of nowhere she suddenly said, “You two are dating!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wz05JKAkU 維尼

Man Ching was so shocked that he suddenly stepped on the brake momentarily. Cin Heung was almost thrown forward. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N3DpiwNrO 維尼

“Turnip! Drive carefully!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡENJa5PSJE3 維尼

“I told you not to disturb the driver, now sit down!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t0Yblw16t 維尼

Cin Heung pursed her lips and sat down, but all the girls clapped and cheered. Sum Ting even whistled.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUpFZWLNJP 維尼

Cin Heung said, “Girls, don’t scare Turnip and Wing Tung. They are very timid in this aspect…”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡJipA8RJyOI 維尼

“Hey… Siu Cin!” Man Ching complained awkwardly.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡyygVb4rzMW 維尼

“Alright!” Cin Heung made the gesture of zipping her mouth.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66vIregAoO 維尼

Wing Tung’s whole body was burning hot, as though smoke was going to come out. She sat quietly with her head turned to the side and stared at the fast-moving scenery outside the window.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZbhErr3XQ 維尼

Upon arriving at the airport, Wing Tung accidentally scratched her arm when she went to pick up the luggage. Man Ching became very nervous so he quickly took out the first aid box and bandaged her carefully.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGiKrQkWl 維尼

Man Ching asked, “Is everything ok?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcvESnDzT4 維尼

Wing Tung only nodded shyly. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLyq5cXvF8 維尼

Man Ching grabbed Wing Tung’s large bag and said, “Best you don’t carry this since your hand is hurt. I’ll carry it for you.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpiKvfSPbW 維尼

All the women were speechless as they watched on.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzGoiTldSH 維尼

Cin Heung glanced at Man Ching, but he looked at the ceiling swiftly.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN1kusXTOf 維尼

“I have to tell mom.” Cin Heung whispered into Man Ching’s ear.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35wyF8OYWP 維尼

“Don’t mess around… I’ll tell her myself!” He too said it beside her ear. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X6EkivJkE 維尼

“Hey! What are you guys still talking about! We’ve got to check in!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OUXNHnIwr 維尼

The airport was full of people and they had to wait for half an hour to check in. Finally, it was Cin Heung and Manman’s turn. Man Ching put their heavy luggages on the conveyor belt while the counter staff busied with the check in procedures. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwWDKcxCXY 維尼

The staff said, “Ladies, I’m sorry but there are no more seats side by side. We have a packed flight today and your bookings were done at different times. Sorry for the inconvenience.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnI3F1ESWD 維尼

Cin Heung and Manman were a little disappointed but said, “No choice then.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQZbspTU7S 維尼

The staff then suggested, “Actually, after you board the plane, you could ask if the passengers are willing to swap seats.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEW1pBV0PB 維尼

Cin Heung and Manman nodded their heads.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPlXtWS2v 維尼

The staff continued, “Sorry for the trouble, here are your passports. Your destination is New Jersey. Please check the information and have a safe trip.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK1vVbpIkr 維尼

Man Ching had to leave because he had something to do. Before leaving, he still told Wing Tung to be careful with the wound.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNTgcaa9Uo 維尼

After they were done with checking in, the group of women found a restaurant to chill and wait.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡduY1EqL7CM 維尼

“Your parents are not coming today?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4AIfLVbI 維尼

“They’re business people, so they’re pretty busy. They’ll show up when the time comes.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83wy0uwsw9 維尼

Wing Tung felt sad and said, “Manman, you have to take care of yourself. Cin Heung, please take good care of her.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZartm8PxN 維尼

Cin Heung said, “Manman’s not a child, don’t worry too much about her!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYsDHMGuiH 維尼

The five old classmates all agreed to travel around the bustling places in the United States one week and let themselves loose before the wedding. It was rare that every one of them still had that adventurous mood.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBrW3FBzEV 維尼

Sum Ting recalled something in the past and asked, “Remember that handsome male teacher in senior secondary school?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzaPh12b25 維尼

Cin Heung said, “That teacher made the whole class fall in love with mathematics.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eoKOPxYHF 維尼

Manman chimed in, “Gou Jing even wrote a love letter!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEnHs1sjFi 維尼

Gou Jing didn’t mind it at all and said, “At that time, I fell in love with the TV series ‘My 18 year old wife’ and thought that there was such romance in reality.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVtwcdVFSB 維尼

Wing Tung said, “I admire your courage.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡECKkZvTV3F 維尼

Cin Heung then asked, “I still don’t know how Gou Jing ended up that time though?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SRqn27sfJ 維尼

Gou Jing said, “Of course nothing happened! The flowers of love didn’t bloom, so there was no fruit! In the end, I was disciplined by the dean and was told to concentrate on my studies.”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wkTRc4dza 維尼

Sum Ting suddenly said, “Damn it! I also wrote him a love letter at that time. They probably thought it was all you!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGJc5pXkWL 維尼

“Wow! You little bastard! I didn’t know you did that until today!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6Bzp9j4o 維尼

Speaking of the past, time passed quickly. It was now time to board the plane. Everyone was sad about parting.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡseM2pgRa9T 維尼

“Bon voyage, see you in two weeks!”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDYkAq2P9c 維尼

Embracing and waving goodbye, Cin Heung and Manman passed through the departure building and walked to the departure area to wait for their flight.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGjSvjGYjO 維尼

When Cin Heung was about to board the plane, a man flashed by her sights. She didn’t pay special attention to him, but a familiar aroma came into her nose. She looked back at the man. Unfortunately, she only saw a tall man, with broad shoulders and thin waist. The man wore a light blue shirt and had blue jeans. Not a second longer, the man had already disappeared into the crowd.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mvRm1tMzC 維尼

The two confirmed their seats in the cabin respectively. The seat beside Cin Heung was initially empty. After a while, a man asked, “Excuse me, miss, could you let me through?”8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq9gzrzgBQ 維尼

"Sure,” Cin Heung stood up and let him in. The man nodded and went to his seat. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmW87dOLiR 維尼

Suddenly the familiar fragrance appeared again. Even though she was unable to tell what it was, she was sure it must have come from the man.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ujzW67uxg 維尼

Cin Heung took a look at the man when she returned to her seat. Immediately, she realised that it was the man that passed by her just now. He seemed like a proper gentleman. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6IZATfstM 維尼

She tried to figure out what the fragrance was, as she felt that it was something she often smelled, but she just couldn’t name it. Since she couldn’t think of anything, she thought she might as well read a magazine. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1FyzALHeh 維尼

The man suddenly sniffed with his nose, and took a glance at Cin Heung. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU5AGQigKz 維尼

It attracted Cin Heung’s attention, and she also looked up at him.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaze3qLgmh 維尼

Their eyes locked for a good half a second. Then they nodded, smiled and went back doing their own things.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDxNNikGmV 維尼

Encounters were just a coincidence. Everyday, people everywhere would cross paths, but no one would put much energy into each and every encounter. 8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEW00YM7Uc 維尼

The airliner in the starry sky… It was fate that two people met in this vast universe. A day later, they might already be at other galaxies, exploring other stars.8964 copyright protection311ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzG4mBYKmT 維尼

May the stars grasp each other and get to know each other with the only day they had. Even if the day was short, even if it was only accidental, even if it was strange, shall the ordinary night morph into a memorable starry night.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJscum0DDlx
