1 Natural Disaster (1)

Dragging his tired body, Jiang Chen slowly walked down the road. If you could see his eyes right now, you would notice that his usual bright eyes lacked their usual luster. Looking around, he sighed quietly, "Mom, why did you leave us so early? If you were still here, Dad might not have left Yan'er and me alone."

This 100 square meter house was left behind by Jiang Chen's parents. The old house belonged in a storybook. Its roof was thickly thatched with straw, and its walls were painted beige white. The square windows were mullioned and edged thickly in white. It looked just big enough for two elderly couples to live there, devoting their life to the country garden that lay about it.

He usually stayed in the city where he rented a 50 square meter apartment with his sister, but recently he had been targeted by his superior due to his ex-girlfriend, or rather the woman who hooked up with his Director.

Sitting on a dusty couch, he sighed and pulled out an iPhone 5, then dialed his sister's number.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, what time will you arrive in Q city?" Jiang Chen asked.

After five seconds of silence, there was a gentle sound on the other side. Jiang Yan said, "Brother? Um, around 4 pm, brother. You can fetch me at the bus terminal near the mall."

"Ok. Take care, Xiao Yan," Jiang Chen nodded secretly and smiled. He slowly hung up the call. He couldn't stop smiling as he thought about his lovely and beautiful sister. He looked at his old wristwatch; it was already 2:30 pm. "I need to buy our dinner right now and wait for her at the terminal. Chicken curry will do tonight."

Jiang Chen walked out of the house and closed the door. He muttered to himself, "Why did you do that?"

As Jiang Chen quietly walked in the bustling street, 20 million miles away from Earth, an asteroid quietly approached at a speed of 30,000 miles per hour. Its size was a kilometer in diameter. Although, as it traveled near Earth, its diameter quickly reduced at an alarming pace, but its speed was getting faster and faster.

4:02 pm

A blue bus entered the Q Transport Terminal Station. In the window of the bus, you could see a beautiful figure looking around with an excited face, and spoke to her seatmate, who was also a beauty with a peerless figure, "Sister Yue, aren't you excited to see my brother? If I remember correctly, you did like my brother, right?" The girl in blue giggled.

The girl whom Jiang Yan was speaking to was Xia Yue. She was the class leader of Jiang Chen when they were still in high school.

"What? I never said that I liked your brother!" Xia Yue slightly blushed.

"Indeed, you never said that to me, but I can see it in your eyes every time you look at my brother. Don't deny it. If it weren't for that fox, I hope you and my brother would be..."

"W-What are you talking about!?" Xia Yue began tickling her while slightly blushing.

"You and my brother are..."

"Q Transport Terminal Station is here. Those who are coming down here, please hurry up," the driver shouted.

Jiang Chen sat absently on a bench at the terminal, lost in thought about his ex-girlfriend who had betrayed him. He couldn't believe that after three years of hard work and sacrifice, she had left him as if tossing away a piece of bubble gum on the road. "Why did you do that? Is it because I'm poor and stubborn that you quickly followed him?" he muttered to himself.

As he reminisced about his failed relationship, he was suddenly interrupted by a shout of "Brother!" from a blue-dressed woman approaching him. He lifted his head and saw his sister's smiling face. "Yanyan, you're here! Let's go home before it gets dark. I want to prepare your favorite food for dinner," he said, standing up.

"Brother, look who I'm with," Jiang Yan said, gesturing towards the woman beside her.

Jiang Chen looked at the woman and was surprised to see Xia Yue, his high school class leader. "YueYue, how are you? I didn't expect Xiao Yan to be with you. That's a pleasant surprise," he exclaimed, greeting her warmly.
