Chapter 987 - Priorities (2/2)
Xiu grinned at her not saying anything to her in reply.
”Does anyone know when Ying Jie is coming back?” asked Dylan. ”Sometimes I feel really bad for Bohai. Although I also had a long-distance relationship with Cali, however, we could at least talk to each other daily. I'd even fly over to her whenever I had time. But those two don't even get to talk for months because of Ying Jie's job. How does he cope with that?”
”By taking more jobs than needed,” replied Xiu. ”Can't you see how he could be seen almost everywhere you look? It's because he had been accepting way too many jobs offer to distract himself.”
”Poor him,” Dylan genuinely felt bad for Han Bohai since he could somewhat relate to him.
”Ying is coming back in two months,” told Xiao Li. ”And I also heard this is her last field operation. She'd be taking desk job after this.”
”Really?” everyone was surprised to hear that.
”Isn't her job her life?” asked Xiu.
”Priorities changes,” answered Xiao Li. ”Now, she wants to build a family with Bohai. And she doesn't want to repeat the situation of her own life where she had to separate from her parents.”
”It's about time they start planning their family,” commented Dylan. ”They got married around the same time as me and Cali.”
”You should stop worrying about their family and focus on yourself,” said Xiu.
”Why does everything take a turn and end up at me?”
”Not telling you,” retorted Xiu. ”Anyway, it's enough to rest for now. Let's gather ingredients for our dinner now.”
”I'm gonna take Rowan for fishing,” said Darren. ”Anyone else wants to join?”
”Me!” Ashley jumped up and tagged along with Darren, ”I want to join you, bro.”
”Okay,” replied Darren.
”I'm also coming,” Xiao Li also went to get his fishing gear.
”I'll just stay here,” announced Dylan. ”I can't move.”
”That's what we expected from you,” said Nora. ”I'll go with Ah-Si to see if we can find some meat around here.”
”I think you can buy it around here,” said Xiu.
”That's what I'm going to look for,” replied Nora.
”I'm going to pick fresh vegetables,” said Xiu. ”I heard there is a greenhouse here and they have the freshest vegetables there.”
”Sweets, there is a fruit ranch as well where you can pick fruits,” told Darren to his wife. ”You can check that out as well if you want to.”
”Got it!”
”Xiuxiu, I'll go with you,” Asteria announced as she came over and heard their words. ”I'll go to pick vegetables with you.”
”You can play here,” said Xiu. ”I can do it myself.”
Asteria shook her head, ”I want to help.”
Xiu rubbed her head saying, ”Okay, let's go then..” She happily crossed her arm with Asteria and went to find the greenhouse.
