Stealing Your Heart

The plane flew across the sky, leaving a contrail.

Zong Yanxi did not inform anyone of her return, not even Zhuang Jiawen, whom she had always kept in touch with.

She knew where her parents lived, so she hailed a taxi and went directly to their residence after getting off the plane.

It was already nighttime. She was beyond exhausted, for she had not taken any rest after dealing with Jiang Mohan.

Of course, she did this on purpose so her parents would not be too mad at her when they saw her weary face.

She hoped that upon seeing her haggardness, her parents would not ask her to explain the past.

Shortly after, the taxi came to a halt in front of a small river. She paid the driver and got out of the car. To get to the other side, she had to board a small boat. Of course, the river also came with a bridge for that purpose, but the bridge was quite a distance away and she had no energy left to walk.

She lifted her wrist to look at the time. It’s a little after eight. I still can board the boat. She was familiar with the boat schedule because she had taken it before.

Unfortunately, when she glanced at the river, no boats were in sight.

Did I remember it wrongly?

She let out a sigh. I guess I still have to walk to the bridge. Though she was worn out, that was the only option she had right now.

Both sides of the river were paved with verdant and neatly trimmed lawns; there were banana trees everywhere. The weather here was much hotter compared to where she came from.
