Xu Wei had continued to rent her apartment abroad because, at the time when she returned to China, she never expected herself to stay on for long. But subsequently, she married Gu Yu and remained in the country for over half a year.
However, probably becausecked a sense of security, she still continued to rent the apartment even after her marriage and it was a blessing in disguise, for it would spare her the trouble of finding a new apartment when she returned abroad.
Before she left, she had asked herndy to help her clean up the house regrly and water her potted nts. Xu Wei’sndy was also Chinese and was a friendly olddy who had always been nice to her. Thus, herndy readily agreed.
After getting off the ne, Xu Wei lugged her luggage and took a taxi back to her tiny apartment.
The apartment was small but cozy and even though it was a rented ce, Xu Wei tried her best to make it feel like home. After all, she was living in a foreign country alone and had to learn to make herself feel at home.
The sense of belonging that she felt towards her rented apartment was something that neither the Xu Residence, Gu Yu’s apartment or her boss’s apartment couldn’t provide her.
As the olddy knew that she would be back today, she deliberately waited for her at the door. When she saw Xu Wei, she received her with a warm smile on her face and reached out to hug her before she said, “Wee back,ss.”
She would always address Xu Wei like this with affection and whenever Xu Wei heard this, she would always feel a warm sensation in her heart. She hugged the olddy’s chubby body and greeted gently, “It’s been a while. I missed you so much.”
After some small talk, they parted separated and the olddy helped her push one of the boxes. As they made their way towards the apartment block, the olddy asked casually, “Did you return because of work?”
Xu Wei shook her head gently and replied, “It’s not because of work. I’m going to live here for a long time.”
If there were no other unforeseen circumstances, Xu Wei considered residing here permanently.
Feeling puzzled, the olddy asked, “What about your husband? Did hee with you?”
Previously during the Chinese New Year, the olddy had asked Xu Wei when she would be back when she sent her new year greetings. At that point in time, she casually mentioned that she had married someone and would not being back for the time being. This was why the olddy would bring this up now.
“No, I’m... I’m divorced,” Xu Wei replied softly. However, she appeared calm as if she was talking about something insignificant.
The olddy never expected such an answer and, after being stunned for a moment, replied awkwardly, “Sorry to hear that.”
Xu Wei smiled and shook her head.
After the olddy sent Xu Wei back to her apartment, hugged her again andforted, “Miss, the future (Wei) is bright. Always look forward to it.”
“The future (Wei) is beautiful,” Xu Wei thought.
The pun instantly warmed up her heart.
Back then her grandfather had named her Wei and her brother Zhanwang out of hopes that they would always have a bright future that they could always look forward to.
“Thank you,” Xu Wei replied sincerely.
“If you need anything, give me a call. I’ll make a move first.”
After Xu Wei sent the olddy off, she opened the door and pushed her luggage into the apartment before she entered the house and took in the familiar sight before her. The sense of gloominess in her heart gradually faded off and the sunlight slowly warmed up her heart.
Despite her ten-hour long ne ride earlier on, she was not the least tired. Her apartment was a little stuffy after being vacant for a long time and Xu Wei quickly opened the windows to let the fresh air in before she put on her apron and gloves and began to clean up the house.
*The Chinese word for ‘future’ is pronounced the same way as Xu Wei’s name.
