Wen Xinya managed to arrive at the airport at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Grampy’s flight would arrive in another 30 minutes.

She was waiting in the VIP lounge, looking outside through the glass window. An airplane was about to take off from the runway outside the departure hall. Once it left the ground, it flew diagonally to the sky and slowly disappeared into the clouds with only its silhouette visible from the ground.

“Mother, it is true that I am at the airport to pick a friend. I did not go out to have fun…” It came from an impatient voice which sounded a little coarse due to puberty. However, it sounded manly and was actually quite charming.

Wen Xinya was captured. She turned eagerly to look at the teenager from a short distance away. He had short hair dyed in grey and bright yellow, with a few long strands of fringe covering his forehead and eyes partially. The outer corners of his almond-shaped eyes were raised slightly, displaying a charming personality. He had a row of blinking ear studs on the outer loop of his left ear consisting of seven colors — black, silver, red, yellow, blue, green and magenta, further exhibiting his youth and rebellious character.

Wen Xinya’s vision suddenly became blurred with teary eyes. The vivid unsettling and rebellious character in her memory matched the silhouette of the teenager in front of her.

He should be around 17-years-old this year!

During those four years of companionship, he had accompanied her in her short lifetime, and it was the only warmth she could recall.

“Mother, if you don’t believe me, I’ll get someone to talk to you.” By now, the teenager was extremely impatient. He was holding his cell phone and looking around for someone to help when, suddenly, he saw Wen Xinya.

The way this teenage girl looked at him was strange. She seemed to have mixed emotions of indescribable feelings. Though there were tears in her eyes, she gave him a warm smile while looking at him as if they had known each other for a long time.

Without conscious effort, he walked towards this teenage girl and said, “Hey, help me answer this call.”

Wen Xinya wiped her tears with a smile on her face and took the cell phone from his hand. There were a few minutes of rumbling on the other side of the line. Then she replied, “This is indeed the VIP lounge of the airport. I am here to fetch someone…”

After a conversation of about 10 minutes, the person on the other side of the line finally allowed her to return the cell phone to the teenager. Wen Xinya passed the phone back to him after keying a few numbers on it.

The teenager took over the cell phone, relieved, and said, “Mother, do you believe me now?”

After more rumbling from the other end, the teenager finally hanged up impatiently.

Wen Xinya said with envy, “Your Mother is nice to you.”

The teenager replied while combing his hair, “She’s always interfering over my matters. It’s very irritating.”

Wen Xinya’s face turned sour. “I did not have a Mother starting from a very young age. I don’t know what it feels like to have a Mother.”

The young man pouted for a while, not knowing what to say. He then realized he had not thanked her for her help. “Oh yes, thank you for what you did earlier. My name is Xu Zhenyu. What’s yours?”
