But what about his mother?
He heard she was doing well and had remarried. Did this mean he might have unknown “younger siblings”?
His gaze, following the tricycle, finally settled on a woman holding a cardboard box beside the vehicle.
Another image quickly surfaced in his mind – a girl called “Little Braids”.
In a trance, Yuqing seemed to see two black braids swinging, a silly, laughing expression, and those sparkling eyes…
“Xiao Yao…” he unconsciously whispered her name.
More than a decade had passed, but he had never forgotten his promise to her. He had said he would come back to thank her…
But could he find her?
During these days back in Taiwan, he chose to stay in a hotel, unwilling to return to the villa directly, with something lingering in his heart.
He was determined to find her. He wanted to see what she looked like after growing up.
The winding mountain road, an old nine-seater van carrying several young men and women, was swaying towards its destination.
Xiao Yao sat in the car, her heart also swinging uncertainly…
Suddenly someone said: “Hey, are we like a fraud group?”
Fraud group? Xiao Yao was stunned, then forced a awkward smile.
Oh yes, they were about to do something “sneaking through the sky”.
In the end, it was all because of her brother’s prospective father-in-law being so snobbish, saying no villa meant no marriage to his daughter. This forced her brother and his girlfriend Aimi to resort to this strategy – to perform a play in someone else’s villa.
But where to find a villa?
Finally, Xiao Yao thought of her good friend Tang Zhima.
Zhima’s mother helped manage a villa, and the owners had been abroad for a long time, so it was usually unoccupied. Through Zhima’s help, they naturally had a venue.
The people in the car were the “temporary actors” summoned for this purpose.
Someone in the car asked again: “But won’t we get into trouble by deceiving people like this?”
True to being Xiao Yao’s best friend, Tang Zhima immediately spoke to “calm the troops”: “What trouble? This is helping lovers get together, it’s a good deed! Besides, Yao’s brother’s prospective father-in-law is so stubborn, he deserves a lesson!”
“Right, exactly!” Everyone agreed.
