No Plagiarism!MhHS6ZvjDOeQ3jtS2LZOposted on PＥNAＮＡ On the night after the wedding, Uncle Aunty Lei didn’t leave immediately. They decided to stay one more day. After all, this was their daughter’s wedding. In the evening, the three Lei’s and Tony chatted for a long while. Manman was moved by her parent’s decision and the importance they placed on her and her husband. She was also moved by her parent’s honesty, and her father tearing up during their chat. This was what Manman has always wanted. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lsTpjBMDc 維尼

In another room, Cin Heung was calling her father to tell him her plan. She held the phone and waited for a long time before someone finally answered.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQtIhCqL2I 維尼

When the phone connected, the man was already yelling instead of saying hello, “Dear! I can’t find my pants! You help me find it!... Ah! Hello? Hello? Siu Cin?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe4AzDxw41 維尼

Annoyed, Cin Heung complained, “Dad, how many times have I told you to answer the phone when you’re ready! You’re always airing out our dirty laundry!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡT18Ce1IEb0 維尼

“Those who practice martial arts are just that quick! I can’t help it. Did you have a good time traveling?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXvZhgKJHE 維尼

“It’s great! This place is very comfortable. How have you guys been?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqK2QCukj2 維尼

“All is good! Everything is fine! Just that, your brother, Turnip, is a little strange!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡAap6EnbRqE 維尼

“What’s the matter with him? He always manages himself very strictly!”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd82dF45X8 維尼

“Well, it’s not long after you girls went to America! I noticed that he’s not focused with his martial arts training. He got the accounts wrong, and even messed up some things from the gym… I suspect he is…” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5QAl1CCA7 維尼

“What about him?”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcjbSUeyVo 維尼

“He’s dating! Some girl must be driving him crazy!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHAdOHgChu 維尼

Cin Heung laughed and said, “He’s finally dating!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAz4VZ6Wh0 維尼

Cin Heung heard her mother yelling in the background, “Don’t talk about Man Ching behind his back! Don’t be a gossiper! Is it Cin Heung?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqXtv59Hh2 維尼

“Yes!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1WV950rpE 維尼

“Put it on loudspeaker and talk together!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡK20qQzWiTC 維尼

“So many requests! Hold on!” After tinkering with the phone a little her father said, “Cin Heung, speak!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS0RVXoSrQ 維尼

“Mom, do you miss me?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKiogfTGGI 維尼

Her mother giggled and said, “Of course! Of course! Feeling much better now!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIy7YC1oHL 維尼

“Aren’t you guys bored without me?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPLtt28Yfx 維尼

“We have so many things to do. Your mother teaches calligraphy and I teach martial arts! Both literature and martial arts have nothing to do with each other! She is busy with her stuff, I am busy with my stuff. How could we be bored?” Her father said. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtPz6kEKPx 維尼

“Dear, what are you talking about!”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMS5IvTuBq 維尼

“Hehe!”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTnU9p8aaK 維尼

“Mom, Dad, I have something to discuss with you.”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kVwGRWBTM 維尼

“Siu Cin, what’s up? Let’s hear it!”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0RKFYoGXC 維尼

“I… I want to stay in America for another year… to study baking... Will you approve it?”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmdzePaUmF 維尼

After hearing that, both her parents became silent; only her father let out the occasional “Um” and “Well”. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoXhDDB6fm 維尼

“Mom, Dad, you guys don’t approve of it, right?” Cin Heung asked softly.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6FL6RMBDV 維尼

All of a sudden, her parents laughed and then her mother said, “Daughter, you are already all grown up. You always do things appropriately and I never have to worry about you. This is the world for you young people. The future depends on what you young people can do. Go ahead! Don’t worry about us. Go and explore the world!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfEdh9uRw 維尼

“Thank you, mom!” Cin Heung said while she teared up with joy.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU1lsbP3do 維尼

“When you come back from your studies, take over the bakery on the nearby street!” Her father said excitedly.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡliFyyzSd22 維尼

“Dad!” Both mother and daughter rebuked in unison.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvMx3pfPo5 維尼

Her father then said quickly, “I’m going to look for my pants.” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡS75Z7zmWmx 維尼

Her mother then said, “Well, take care of yourself.” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8waGMu9Th 維尼

“I will.” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgnJrEG7Jp 維尼

The next day, the five girls were in the backyard, sitting on easy chairs under a parasol, each with a drink. Cin Heung announced her plan, to which Wing Tung felt sad about, but the others praised her for her courage to pursue her own ideals.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0O5lX0qXX 維尼

Cin Heung said, “Wing Tung, remember to take good care of my brother when you go back! He’ll be a mess without you!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQWbKPChp 維尼

“Ah? Is that really the case?” Wing Tung blushed with shame.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQHl2YO1Y2 維尼

“Well I do hope when I come back, then…” Cin Heung said as if hinting at something.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaDbt5XOQL 維尼

“What? Hoping for what?” Wing Tung exclaimed. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOmCe5w1I4 維尼

“Here’s hoping Wing Tung and Turnip are going to get married next!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLb5GQ6xy 維尼

All the women clapped their hands while Wing Tung kept shaking her head.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPectaATg 維尼

Cin Heung also said to Gou Jing and Sum Ting, “Don’t make it hard for Wing Tung. When you girls have different opinions, you two always yell at her harshly when she tries to calm things down. If you two have a big fight, I can only ask Turnip to calm things down.” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp8keqMbRO 維尼

Sum Ting hugged Wing Tung and patted her chest. “Don’t worry! I will love your future sister-in-law!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehXULNYIN 維尼

“If there’s anything we can’t work out, I’ll have to ask you to come back and mediate! I’ll pay for your plane tickets,” said Gou Jing.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYSoYZU27A 維尼

“I have faith that you don’t need this service!”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1GrURCihE 維尼

Gou Jing rubbed Sum Ting’s cheeks and said, “That’s right! How can men compare to you!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDVDLxL9wr 維尼

“Damn it! Of course! We are all ‘lifeguards’ in the same boat!” Sum Ting then reminded Cin Heung, “Don’t you need to find a place to live?”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡlShi1H68uR 維尼

Manman quickly chimed in, “No need! My father-in-law told her to live here. No one objected to it!”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbcKMEo880 維尼

“I’ll have to thank the Duen family for this.”8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVFP6ho6e 維尼

A few days later, they parted ways at the airport. Wing Tung was still crying, and the others had to comfort her. Everyone was reluctant to go, especially Manman.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2esA8Rdznr 維尼

“Manman, Wing Tung, don’t cry anymore. Just take a 24-hour plane ride if you girls want to see each other!” Sum Ting said with a strong front. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3AzBQ1x9a 維尼

“It’s time! Let’s go! Take good care of yourself!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXec43QaZC 維尼

Filled with tears, Cin Heung and Manman waved the three people off.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGjKEYYKeE 維尼

The next few days, Cin Heung was busy applying for a study visa and admission. Yi Po worked hard for her, and he enjoyed every moment of it. He took Cin Heung to the school, and then went to the Immigration Department to apply for a social security number. After that, she got her identification card and driver’s license from the Department of Motor Vehicles. These were the legal requirements that were needed. Cin Heung now felt like a new immigrant.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6oSQlJ501 維尼

At the Department of Motor Vehicles, Yi Po explained to Cin Heung, “You’ll be taking a written test for your driver’s license later. You already have an international driving license, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. Just make sure you answer the basic answers correctly.” He handed a small booklet to Cin Heung and said, “Use this booklet as a reference, it’s a piece of cake.” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFhNHvbJsd 維尼

She read it over once and remembered the key points. After a while, the examiner called out her name and it was her turn. Still feeling a little anxious, she looked back at Yi Po at the entrance and saw him giving her an encouraging gesture. With that, Cin Heung strode into the test room with courage.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtm3pjHgzu 維尼

After some time, the exam was over. Cin Heung came out of the test room with an emotionless face, seemingly having nothing to say. Yi Po also looked at her silently. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf1QCSbL7O 維尼

After a while, Yi Po comforted her and said, “It’s alright. You wouldn’t need a driving license in a hurry. Let’s apply for a re-take, and then we’ll come again!” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1LTsZhTd4 維尼

Cin Heung hung her head low and suddenly, her body was shaking. Bursting out in laughter, she raised her arm and held up her license in her hand.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUb03R0geS 維尼

“I passed!” Cin Heung said triumphantly.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvKQ1ujBX 維尼

“You scared me!” Yi Po said with surprise. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVtzMs0iSk 維尼

After getting all the government documents, Yi Po returned to the campus with Cin Heung and handed them in. After many days of running around, Cin Heung finally managed to enroll into the school.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6eRPJNa80 維尼

The staff of the Campus Office kindly explained, “All the documents have been received. Please come to the classroom on the first day of school. The staff will explain all the details to you on that day. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just get your boyfriend to come back and ask.” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D1QRMGCYh 維尼

Cin Heung looked strangely at Yi Po and asked, “Him? Boyfriend?... Come back here?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk4CQESvhC 維尼

“Yes! He has been here several times and asked everything in detail. He is such a considerate man!” After saying that the clerk laughed with envy.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwZmRrQDPO 維尼

After thanking the staff, Cin Heung and Yi Po left the office and walked along the corridor without saying a word. After some time, Cin Heung suddenly stopped. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuwWC33Iiq 維尼

She looked up at Yi Po intently and asked, “Do you have anything to say?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡheMULEuBAD 維尼

Looking at the ceiling then staring at Cin Heung, Yi Po’s eyes sparkled and he seemed to have countless words he wanted to say to her. After giving it some thought, he finally decided to say, “Ever since I met you on the plane, I’ve been hoping to see you again and do something for you. Heavens seems to have heard my prayers and fate had brought us together, allowing me to do so. So can I? Cin Heung?” 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6K4jirIWK 維尼

Cin Heung felt her heart beat like a galloping horse. Her breathing was so fast that she almost couldn’t breath. Her mouth moved a little but she didn’t know what to say. Her eyes kept looking for something to focus on, and she wasn’t sure whether she was feeling joyful or panicking. Once again, she did not know what she wanted. She lowered her head, turned around and walked forward.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EtQJjQvOp 維尼

After a few steps, she stopped.8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Q8WSi0fm 維尼

“After this evening, you know that your heart needs infinite love.” What Stirling said rang in her mind. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAL1czYNrF 維尼

Fate has led you here. It’s time for you to make a decision… Cin Heung thought while standing there. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡDghHFx3nrb 維尼

Yi Po looked at her, slightly frustrated. However, Cin Heung suddenly came back to him, took his hand and asked, “Didn’t you say you’d like to go for lunch?” After saying that, she pulled him along. 8964 copyright protection278ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zDaN97QqP 維尼

At that moment, although there was no eye contact, each of them had a faint smile on their faces.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9b2kQH49c
