w.a.n.g Yuju snapped out of her thoughts when the car stopped and the driver told her that they had arrived. She shook her head as she entered home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her mother and father along with some close friends and her grandpa."Xiao Yuju, I missed you so much!" Xia Meng, her best friend immediately jumped into her arms the moment she noticed her. "Ah, Xiao Meng! Are you planning to kill me by jumping on my weak body?" w.a.n.g Yuju jokingly said as she lightly pushed her away. "I missed you too!"

Right at that moment, a certain someone cleared his throat which made all of them laugh. "You only missed Xiao Meng; what about this old man here?" w.a.n.g Yuju laughed as she walked towards her "angry" grandpa and hugged him. "Grandpa, don"t call yourself an old man; you"re still so young and healthy! I bet others may think you"re my father instead!"
Her words made everyone laugh; even the "angry" grandpa laughed with delight as he looked at his lovely granddaughter who was so good with her words. If she hadn"t been so weak since her birth, she would have already won many people"s hearts with her flowery words. But now that she had returned to China, he would show his precious granddaughter to the whole world.
w.a.n.g Yuju was talking with her parents when her phone rang. It was an unknown number which made her furrow her brows. Except for her parents and her close friends, no one knew her phone number. She excused herself and walked to a corner. "h.e.l.lo?" w.a.n.g Yuju said as she waited for a reply.
"Is this w.a.n.g Yuju?" the unknown caller asked. "Yes, w.a.n.g Yuju speaking. Can I ask you for your name?" The other side was silent for a long time. w.a.n.g Yuju was just about to end the call when the caller finally answered, "Li Ming..." Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
w.a.n.g Yuju froze when she heard that name. No wonder she found that voice so similar, like the one she used to hear in her dreams. "Yuju, it"s really you.. I.. you.. You don"t know how much I"ve missed you!" w.a.n.g Yuju felt her tears well up as she found it hard to believe. On second thought, she wondered how did he get her number?
Hearing no response from her, the other side panicked. "Yuju, are you still there?! I-" A smile spread on her lips as she set her thoughts aside. "I"m still here.. Ming, how long has it been? More than fifteen years.. But you still sound the same as you did before.." Li Ming replied with his voice shaking, "Yuju, I"ve missed you so much that I can"t express it in words.. I didn"t really believe it was your number.." It felt so surreal.. like a dream..
w.a.n.g Yuju curiously asked, "Where did you get my number?" Moreover, I was planning to surprise him; I could never have thought that he would call me like this.. Li Ming answered truthfully, "Xia Meng.." She was surprised to find out that her own best friend had sold her out... But she didn"t know why she felt thankful instead.
Li Ming asked after contemplating for a while, "Are you going to... return to China?" His question made her realize that her best friend had at least kept her arrival a secret. w.a.n.g Yuju lied as if she was saying the truth, "Ming.. To be honest, I also want to return back but you know my condition.." Her acting was perfect without any loopholes; she could fool anyone with it, even Li Ming. Or so she thought.
"You bad liar, turn around!" w.a.n.g Yuju froze like a statue when she heard Li Ming"s voice from behind her...
