Chapter 38: Journey of Self-realization

Bai Jing Ting ended up being a nanny to three women the whole day. Instead of going out on a date with Yi Fei, he was stuck with three kids. The kids played, ran and ate junk foods all the time; they totally forgot that Bai Jing Ting was there too. He even became the driver to send Xiao Qi back to her home.

Inside the car on their way back home, Yi Fei suddenly asked about Xiao Qi; of her life and why she came alone to the amusement park.

Xiao Qi was on her journey of self-realization because she couldn't enter university since she failed in her National Higher Education Entrance Examination. She was so sad about it and her brother gave her a lot of money to cheer her up. Xiao Qi went to the amusement park alone as her journey to self-realization.

Yi Fei and NaNa were amazed by Xiao Qi. So young yet so brave to go on a journey like that. Bai Jing Ting observed the three kids with keen eyes. He did not understand anything that they were talking about. He was tired and he just wanted to get home.

Xiao Qi lived in a big mansion near the sea. It turned out that Xiao QI was the heir to the biggest fish market business owner in City L. Her family supplied fishes to almost every restaurant and supermarkets in City L. Wu Hotel were included in too.

When Xiao Qi went out of the car, her brother was outside their mansion. Xiao Qi introduced them to her brother and her brother thanked them for taking a good care of his sister and for cheering her up. They continued their journey after that.

NaNa was asleep inside the car and Bai Jing Ting finally had an opening for his alone time with Yi Fei.

"Did you enjoy yourself at the amusement park today?" Bai Jing Ting knew the answer but he asked anyway. He saw that Yi Fei was smiling the whole day. Even though he knew that he was not the sole reason for the smile, he was still blessed to see Yi Fei smiled brightly like a sun; his little sun.

"I did. It was so much fun. How about you?" Yi Fei was truly happy however, Bai Jing Ting did not share her sentiment. Someone was obviously cast aside today and that was him. Suddenly, he felt so tired.

When they reached the parking lot of Yi Fei's apartment complex, NaNa was still sleeping. Yi Fei wanted to wake her up but before she could do so, Bai Jing Ting spoke. "How about next time we go to the amusement park… just us".

Yi Fei saw that Bai Jing Ting somewhat felt dejected today but she thought that Bai Jing Ting was like that because there was a stranger with them. She looked at him apologetically before saying "Sorry about today Brother Ting. Next time I won't invite stranger. It will be only the three of us". She then proceeds to wake NaNa up.

Bai Jing Ting was beyond belief of how oblivious Yi Fei was but he could not really put the blame on her since he said 'us' instead of 'two of us'. He felt that he had a lot of opportunities to court her so he did not press on the matter anymore. Bai Jing Ting watched over Yi Fei and NaNa until they disappeared from his sight.

That night, Yi Fei continued her weekend routine by writing her online novel. Her thought drifted to Xiao Qi and her journey of self-reflection. She opened her QQ and started typing.

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Chen Chen, what are you doing? Are you busy?

At that time, Wu Chen was still inside his office. He was trying to finish all his work so that he could fly to City L the next weekend. He was buried in mountains of files on his table. He unlocked his phone and a smile crept onto his face.

Luke5Chen: Just signing some files, not busy at all. Why? Do you miss me?

If Liu Shi saw his boss' reply to Yi Fei, he will faint on the spot. Wu Chen had been working until late at night for a few days in a row; that should be considered extremely busy.

Yi Fei wanted to say that she missed him but considering that it might be a joke, she chose to ignore that question and asked the one on her mind.

Unicorn Goddess Fei: I'm just curious about few things. Can I ask you a few questions?

Luke5Chen: Okay

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Have you ever go for the journey of self-realization?

Wu Chen burst out laughing after he read the message from Yi Fei. She sure asked a very random question.

Luke5Chen: I did once during my university day.

Unicorn Goddess Fei: What was the reason for that?

Luke5Chen: I broke up with my girlfriend at that time because she cheated. I went on a journey on a motorbike across the country to calm myself.

Unicorn Goddess Fei: You must love her so much

When Yi Fei saw the message, she has this uncomfortable feeling inside her heart.

Luke5Chen: At that time, I did love her but now, not anymore. I moved on. That was all in the past. I am single now. Just so you know, in case if you are curious

Wu Chen did not want Yi Fei to misunderstand that he was still thinking about his former girlfriend because he didn't. He purposely stated that he was single to that Yi Fei did not have any other idea about him and his former girlfriend.

True to his assumption, Yi Fei was actually relieved when Wu Chen explained things to her. She was smiling smugly when another message came in.

Luke5Chen: How was your outing?

Unicorn Goddess Fei: We had a lot of fun. I wish you were there

Luke5Chen: You and Bai Jing Ting?

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Yes, together with NaNa and Xiao Qi.

Luke5Chen: Who's Xiao Qi?

Unicorn Goddess Fei: My new friend. I met her while queuing for cotton candy. She let me cut the queue hehe

Wu Chen underestimated her. He knew that Yi Fei was friendly but he never expects that Yi Fei was a very successful social butterfly. Well, he never heard about someone who made a friend while queuing for a cotton candy and ended up spending the whole day together. Yi Fei surprised him once again. Then, he remembered Yi Fei's initial question.

Luke5Chen: Fei Fei, why are you asking me about the journey to self-realization?

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Xiao Qi was on her journey of self-realization today. I never go into one so I'm curious

Luke5Chen: Do you want to go with me someday?

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Go where?

Luke5Chen: To journey of self-realization

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Where to?

Luke5Chen: Amusement park. With me. Only the two of us.

Yi Fei's face flared in scarlet when she read the message. She did not know how to reply to that. Before long, Wu Chen sent another message.

Luke5Chen: If you go on a journey of self-realization with a lot of people, it won't work. You need to go alone or with a partner.

Unicorn Goddess Fei: Alright

For a second, Yi Fei thought that Wu Chen was asking her to go out on a date with him. It turned out that was the case for self-realization. Yuta Takemoto in Honey and Clover went into the journey of self-realization alone to reflect on his life. Yi Fei figured out that it must be like what Wu Chen had said to her.

Wu Chen, on the other hand, was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. He had secured a date with Yi Fei; only the two of them. When the time comes, he would make Yi Fei realized about a lot of things; about him and about the matter of heart between the two of them.
