Hai Xiaotang expressed her disdain, âIn my heart, heâs probably not even worth as much as a sesame seed.â
âXiaotang, are you joking?â Qiao Ning laughed, âEveryone knows Dongfang Yu is the most outstanding and wealthiest man in C City. Heâs so young and handsome; marrying him is like hitting the jackpot!â
Hai Xiaotang chuckled, âIf you were in my shoes, you wouldnât think so.â
Being married to Dongfang Yu could risk oneâs life. It was very dangerous!
Qiao Ning was puzzled, âWhy? Are you and Dongfang Yu not on good terms?â
âHm, weâre not on good terms. Sooner or later, weâll divorce.â
âAir?â Qiao Ningwas surprised.
Hai Xiaotang did not want to explain too much, and smiled, âIâll explain more when I get a chance. Letâs move on. Huh, whatâs that?â
By the nearby pond, a group of students seemed to be filming a show.
Qiao Ning looked over and smiled, âTheyâre making a student film; theyâre all my classmates. Every year, we have filming projects that are part of our final individual grades. For this term, I havenât figured out what to film yet.â
â What do you want to film?â Hai Xiaotang asked.
Qiao Ning shook her head, âI havenât decided yet. I donât want to make something too simple, or just for the sake of completion. But my filmmaking skills are limited, and I want to make something meaningful.â
âYou could film a documentary,â suggested Hai Xiaotang.
âIâve thought of that, but I would need resources. I canât find sources for filming, and funding is also a problem; making a documentary would be tough.â
After all, they were students who couldnât afford much and lacked connections.
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes lit up as she suggested, âDongfang is currently designing a new building for the orphanage, could you film that?â
Qiao Ningâs eyes brightened, âYou mean, to document the changes happening to the orphanage?â
âExactly! The orphanageâs current building is really dilapidated, and the kids will be so happy when they move into the new one.â
âThatâs a great suggestion! Itâd be best if we can start filming from the early stages of the design.â
But the next second, Qiao Ning was caught in a dilemma, âI suppose it wonât be possible for me to film inside Dongfang, would it?â
âI can askDongfangYu foryou. If he agrees, then there should be no problem,â Hai Xiaotang assured quickly.
Qiao Ning was moved, but also worried about putting her friend in a difficult position.
âXiaotang, if your relationship with your husband is not good, would it be hard foryou to help me?â
âNo, it wonât. If he doesnât agree, we can think of other methods. It would be best if he does agree, though.â
âXiaotang, thank you so much!â Qiao Ning said with a radiant smile, âYouâve done such a big favor for me; let me treat you to a meal! There are lots of tasty food near our school, what do you feel like eating?â
âLetâs see if it works out first. If it does, then you can treat me.â
âRegardless, I still want to treat you. Quick, what do you fancy eating?â
Seeing her enthusiasm, Hai Xiaotang did not refuse, âWhatever you recommend, Iâm fine with anything.â
âHow about hot pot, does that sound good?â
âGreat! I love hot pot!â
âSo do I!â
The two discovered another shared interest and were very happy.
So, they happily set off to eat hot pot.
By the time they left the hot pot restaurant, it was already dark.
âQiao Ning, wait here; Iâll go retrieve the car,â Hai Xiaotang said.
Qiao Ning nodded, âOkay, you go.â
Qiao Ning didnât have a car, so Hai Xiaotang planned to drop her home first before returning.
As she ran off to fetch the car, Qiao Ning stood alone by the dimly lit roadside, waiting for her.
