Da Tian Ting didn’t need to worry about money so she easily found a good apartment to rent.
A new environment cheered up Da Tian Ting. Compared to the apartments she lived in the past, her new apartment was better.
Da Tian Ting unpacked her suitcase, and found old photos of her and Shang Duan Hua. In the past she used to look at these photos if she felt sad. Everything changed, she wasn’t blind anymore. Looking closely at the photos, Shang Duan Hua’s smile was stiff and he clearly hated taking photos with her.
Da Tian Ting accepted Shang Duan Hua had always hated her. It was her fault for being infatuated with him.
‘Duan Hua, I’m sorry for being blind,’ Da Tian Ting said to the photos. ‘I should have seen your hatred and intolerance. Don’t worry you won’t need to suffer being with me anymore. Shang Duan Hua, from this day forward, you and I, Da Tian Ting will live in two different worlds. Everything is over between us, we’re now strangers.’
Da Tian Ting didn’t hesitate to rip up the photos, and put them in the bin along with other items a.s.sociated with Shang Duan Hua. Then she continued tidying up her new apartment.
Da Tian Ting looked at her belongings. She didn’t own anything apart from her old clothes. She took it as a good sign to forget about the past, and to look forward to her fresh start.
Da Tian Ting grabbed her bag and helmet. She rode a bike to the neighboring markets to buy new clothes, furnishings and daily essentials.
At the markets, Da Tian Ting took time to look at goods before making purchases.
Outside the markets, Da Tian Ting’s bike collided with another bike.
‘I’m really sorry,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Da Tian Ting looked at the familiar man’s frosty face.
‘Why is it you?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
Feng Kai Ze knew it was another unlucky day the moment he collided with the crazy woman.
‘So what if it’s me?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
Da Tian Ting thought the man she owed money was a grudge holder.
‘What are you doing here?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
‘Miss, this is a public market,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘Is there a rule if you come here, I’m not allowed to come here?’
‘You’re right&h.e.l.lip; wait,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘Did you follow me here to get back your money?’
‘Have you forgotten?’ Feng Kai Ze asked. ‘I asked you to choose either giving me five thousand dollars or getting out of my way.’
‘Sir, don’t worry,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘I’m something who hates owing anyone anything. I’m paying you back right now.’
Da Tian Ting had never met a generous man in her life. If she went out to eat with men, they made her split the bill. But the man in front of her was a first cla.s.s grudge holder.
