At the international airport in Country F, Su Linyu was about to board her flight.
She turned to Xiu Jin. "Such a shame. I thought we will go back together to City S."
He forced a smile. "Sorry. If something did not come up with our branch here, I wouldn't have changed my flight."
"If I had known, I would've booked the same flight as yours." She smiled and waved him goodbye as the announcement for boarding was heard.
He waved back, keeping his forced smile. After her plane had set off, he turned to his assistant.
"Where's my ticket?" He held out his hand.
The assistant handed the ticket to him skeptically. "Boss, are you sure you will go there by yourself?"
"Don't worry, she may be tough, but she won't kill me." Xiu Jin chuckled.

Aoi Xiu just came back from the company. She still resides in their old house which is a minka(1). When she took off her shoes at the genkan(2), she noticed a pair of oxfords neatly placed on the getabako(3).
