Return to China

A plane roared across the azure sky and landed at Kyoto Airport. In the bustling hall, a figure approached from a distance. He wore flat high-top white shoes, blue jeans, and a white shirt with the top button undone and the collar slightly open. His ordinary attire, however, gave him a unique touch, making him instantly noticeable in the crowd. He had fair skin, a soft pink lip, a slightly upturned mouth, peach-shaped eyes, untrimmed yet neatly styled eyebrows, and loose black hair. He slowly emerged from the crowd, pulling a white suitcase.

Xia Zaoan wore her hair in a simple half-bun, her short, slightly curly golden hair cascading over her shoulders. She stood at the entrance of the hall, wearing a pink top and short skirt, a pair of cute shoes, and a small bag slung across her body. She had large almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, cherry lips, and a chubby face. When she saw the man approaching, she ran and threw herself into her arms.

"Ye Lin, you're finally back. I missed you so much." Ye Lin's lips curled up slightly. "Good morning. Long time no see." "Let's go eat something first."

Inside a restaurant

"Ye Lin, you seem to have become a little different in the past few years since you went abroad."

"What's different?" "Hmm-", Xia Zaoan supported his face with his left hand and rested his elbow on the table, "You've become more mature, and seem more deserted than before, but your clothing style hasn't changed much, and is still as bad as before." Xia Zaoan said mischievously.

"You haven't changed much." "Linlin, have you been doing well these past few years abroad? Why haven't you contacted me?" "I changed my phone number after I went abroad, so you couldn't contact me." "I thought you had forgotten me."

Ye Lin smiled slightly, stood up, bent down and touched Xia Zaoan's head, "No."

"Linlin, what do you plan to do when you return to China?" "Financial Economics and Controller (I made that up)" "Ye Lin, you're amazing. I'll go back and ask my brother if he can hire you to work at my company."

"No, I can do it myself."

"Oh, I forgot. Our Ye Lin graduated from the world's top university. I'm sure many companies will be vying to hire you."

"What about you? What are you doing now?" "I studied painting in college and now I'm a cartoonist. My dream is to become a famous cartoonist and let people all over the world see my paintings." "By the way," Xia Zaoan teased, "Do you have a boyfriend in Gaoguo?" Ye Lin looked at Xia Zaoan's gossipy expression and said seriously, "Of course not."

"When we met in high school, you were the universally recognized goddess of the school, the unattainable, high-class flower. Even now, none of the former campus beauties on the school forum are as popular as you. I wonder how perfect a man will have to be to be worthy of you in the future."... "Okay, good morning. It's getting late. I have to go first." "Okay then. I'll let Uncle Chen take you home."

"No need. By the way, good morning, this is a gift for you." "It's for me." Xia Zaoan couldn't wait to open it, "What a beautiful watch, thank you Linlin, I like it very much." Xia Zaoan hugged Ye Lin.

After Ye Lin left, Xia Zaoan got in the car. "Uncle Chen, let's go home." "Yes, Miss, you are very happy today, because Miss Ye Lin is back, right?" "Yes, Ye Lin is my best friend. Although she always looks cold, she is actually a very kind person." "I am also happy for you that you can make friends you like."
