Qiao Nuo watched Yi Chien as he gently put medicine on her scratches. "Careful"Qiao Nuo warned. "I'm trying to be as gentle as possible."Yi Chien said softly. After covering them with bandaid, "all set."Yi Chien said.
The next day was the weekend. Qiao Nuo look around the house, and Yi Chien's presence was no where to be seen. It's already 8am in the morning. She sat on the table, and stare blankly at the wall in front of her. She barely hard the man approaching her. Yi Chien gently tapped her shoulder. "Uhm"she said. Yi Chien chuckled. "It's the weekend, go back to bed?" he suggested. "I'm okay."Qiao Nuo replied.
Yi Chien went ahead to make two coffee. "Here"he offered. "What's the plan today?"Qiao Nuo asked. Yi Chien shook his head. "Nothing? I thought overseas work are usually faster."Qiao Nuo replied. "We have domestic workers, they need to spend time with their family during weekends."Yi Chien replied. "What about you before, don't you work on weekends?"Qiao Nuo suspiciously asked, as if Yi Chien already know where the conversation is heading. "What do you want to hear?"Yi Chien glared at her. "No, I don't have time to play around."Yi Chien said taking a sipped of his coffee. "No, why are you so defensive."Qiao Nuo teased. "Are you jealous?"Yi Chien said "No."Qiao Nuo said drinking her coffee.
"Thanks, I'll be in my room checking some emails."Qiao Nuo said raising her coffee. "wait."Yi Chien called. "You can look on emails later, let's walk around town."he offered. Qiao Nuo looked at him. "It's the country side, we can get some fresh air."Yi Chien added. "Sure, let me get ready."Qiao Nuo said.
In a few minutes the two were finally ready to go out. Looking around the mountains, Qiao Nuo felt at peace. "Looks good."Qiao Nuo said. "I know."Yi Chien said as they walk around. They came across a shrine. "Love Shrine."Yi Chien said reading at the information. "If you say your wish in front of that shrine, it will become true."a caretaker approached. "Yi Chien look at Qiao Nuo. "Let's go make a wish."Yi Chien winked, dragging Qiao Nuo by her hand.
Qiao Nuo glared at Yi Chien. Yi Chien made a wish, and ended it with a slight smile. "What did you wish?"Qiao Nuo curiously asked. "Not going to tell you, I'll wait outside."Yi Chien said leaving her. Qiao Nuo stare at the shrine in front of her. "Better days ahead, that's all I want."Qiao Nuo murmured, closing her eyes.
Yi Chien was looking around the place when Qiao Nuo stepped out. "Done?"he asked. "Yes"she replied. "Mr. Song?"a man called which caught their attention. "Contractor Nakajima"Yi Chien greeted. "Mrs. Song."the man greeted as well, his hands are both occupied with shopping bags.
"Do you have time?"the man offered, the couple look at each other. "We do."both of them replied. "It's my daughter's birthday, do you mind sharing a meal with us?"he offered. "Not at all."Qiao Nuo said.
