BXBX NOVEL Chapter 11 GOING BACK TO CHINA PART 11
A fine young man greeted her as she entered. "Welcome to our shop- Miss Lin!" He was startled.
Xue Lin smirked. "It has been a while, hasn’t it?"
"It has. ... Three years?" The man tried to think.
"Two years." Xue Lin corrected him.
The young man said, "Is that so... you haven’t changed at all Miss Lin. I thought you left the city."
"I didn’t need to come here for a while but now I need to. I need a good cell phone." Xue Lin started to look around.
"Right away, Miss Lin." The man started to show her some phone models she would like.
Xue Lin didn’t take much time to choose a cell phone. She bought it and left, making her way to her middle school friend’s house.
Her friend’s mother opened the door. She gasped after seeing her. "Xue Lin!"
"Auntie!" Xue Lin grinned like a kid. She loved this middle-aged woman who always acted caring towards her. She gave her a warm hug.
The woman patted her slender back. "Oh my! You’ve changed a lot dear. It has been so long. Now, you still remember your auntie right?".
"My stomach was craving for your cooking. I had to come here." Xue Lin couldn’t stop smiling.
"Come inside. I’ll cook something delicious for you," the woman cheerfully said. She grabbed Xue Lin’s hand and brought her inside.
Xue Lin didn’t see any other family members inside. She asked, "Auntie, are you alone at home?".
"Oh, are you talking about uncle? He is in the company. Meimei lives in Beijing and Meimei’s elder brother left after being transferred. He took his wife with him." Auntie replied.
"I see." Xue Lin nodded. She entered the dining room and sat at the table with her laptop. Xue Lin turned on the laptop and started working. She had to make some plans about leaving this place. The kitchen was attached to the dining room. She wanted to talk to Meimei’s mother while she was working in the other room.
Meimei’s mother was chopping vegetables while saying, "You youngsters keep using laptops. I don’t understand why you are all so addicted to it? When I was at your age, I was busy going out on dates with your uncle."
"Ahahaha!" Xue Lin laughed aloud. "Auntie, we aren’t made of stone. We date too, you know."
Meimei’s mother scoffed. "I never see you or Meimei going out with guys. Honestly, what is wrong with you two? Is dating a man that hard?"
Xue Lin shook her head. "Dating isn’t hard. Finding out the right man is hard nowadays. If I find a man like uncle who is still so caring towards you and still acts romantic as if you two are teenagers, I will certainly marry that man."
"I’ll go to the temple tomorrow and pray for you two girls. I want you to capture a good man as soon as possible." Auntie said.
Xue Lin chuckled. "There’s nothing I wish for more." Unknown to auntie, her smile slowly disappeared. ’But auntie, I don’t think I can ever trust a man in my life.’ She shivered slightly and masked it so that auntie couldn’t notice. She didn’t want others to worry about her.
However, she needs to go home in the evening without anyone’s notice. She doesn’t have time to think about men. She has to develop her plan until she gets her passport and credit card again. She will apply for another passport tomorrow. As soon as she got a passport and credit card, there would be no one to stop her.
