As dawn broke, the hungover Xia Bing woke up. Tears from her dream still lingered in the corners of her eyes; she hadn’t dreamed of her parents for a long time, but she did last night.
The dream began with her parents looking happy at their wedding… As time passed, their conflicts became constant… Arguments became routine. Xia Bing also dreamed of the day her parents talked about divorce, that disaster… replaying in her dream, memories vivid…
Remembering Parents
Xia Bing looked at the white on the curtain, perhaps she should go and see her parents’ graves.
After her parents passed away, she had never visited their burial site, with Wen Auntie taking care of it every year.
Xia Bing got up, freshened up, and went downstairs. Seeing Wen Auntie busy, she went to help.
Wen Auntie saw Xia Bing was up early, “Why not sleep a bit more?”
“No, did I cause you much trouble last night?” Xia Bing recalled her drunken state.
Wen Auntie laughed, saying not at all, “You behaved well. Also, I feel something between Hai Jun and Yi Yi…” Wen Auntie found it hard to say, afraid to confirm her suspicions.
Xia Bing nodded.
“Isn’t Hai Jun yours? Yi Yi is too inconsiderate. Playing with feelings is one thing, but now she even wants to steal your future husband.” Wen Auntie had a slightly negative view of Yi Yi, though she usually thought Yi Yi was okay despite her spoiled attitude, this situation made her see Yi Yi differently.
“Wen Auntie, you say Hai Jun is my future husband? We’re not even close. I really don’t have romantic feelings for him. It’s normal for a good man to be pursued. Please don’t mention me and Hai Jun in the future, Yi Yi might get upset. She only pursued him after asking me if I liked him.” Xia Bing thought of Yi Yi’s previous awkwardness and couldn’t help but smile.
Wen Auntie looked at Xia Bing, “You silly child.” Regardless, she still felt uncomfortable about Yi Yi, believing her own child was better.
Xia Bing skillfully arranged things.
“Wen Auntie, where is my parents’ burial site? I want to visit.” Xia Bing stopped and looked at Wen Auntie, who was still busy.
