Chapter 543 - 543 544 Autumn Should Be Nice If You Are Still
?Chapter 543: Chapter 544: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (3)_1 Chapter 543: Chapter 544: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (3)_1 She originally wanted to start a new life in a place where no one knew her or her past.
However, sadly, in a foreign land where all she saw were blond-haired, blue-eyed people, she inexplicably felt a strong kinship whenever she ran into another person of Asian descent.
She didn’t speak English, and even communicating was a struggle. In this unfamiliar place, she worked hard, trying desperately to survive. However, she realized that for many people clamoring to immigrate to this country, its system and benefits were akin to paradise. But for her, it felt as if staying there was ultimately leading to a dead end.
In England, she struggled to survive for over two months. Her money was dwindling, and she still didn’t have a proper job. If she stayed any longer, she would eventually be deported.
In London, with its ever-changing weather and frequent rain, it was rare that she could see the bright and radiant sunshine like in Jiangshan City.
European-style buildings bore the traces of time, and on the streets, foreign people engaged in cheerful conversations while holding up their umbrellas.
Jing Haohao felt alienated from this country numerous times.
The incident that solidified Jing Haohao’s decision to return to China was when she was delivering food to a Chinese student studying abroad.
The student, a previous top-scorer of the national university entrance exam in Beijing, had received extensive praise and admiration from friends and family when he set off to study abroad. However, even with friends and a lover in this strange country, he still felt a lack of belonging.
Perhaps because they were both Chinese, the student would often support Jing Haohao’s business. He spoke in Mandarin when conversing with Jing Haohao, and it always gave him a sense of returning home. He told Jing Haohao that he would return home after university, back to his parents, friends, and the lovely hometown of his childhood. Studying abroad, he said, felt like being exiled.
Jing Haohao found resonance in the student’s words. She hadn’t done anything wrong, yet struggled to survive in a foreign land. Everything that was beautiful to her was left behind in Jiangshan City, where she wished to settle permanently.
She was no longer the resilient Jing Haohao of her youth, capable of adapting anywhere. Her thoughts often wandered back to the towering plane trees lining the roads of Jiangshan City, the tangy and tasty hot and sour noodles in the food street, and a small dumpling shop in the east of the city.
She did not like the feeling of being exiled and preferred when everyone she saw had dark hair, dark eyes, and yellow-toned skin.
So, after listening to the student’s words, Jing Haohao returned home and immediately booked a flight back to China.
By this point, she had spent almost all of her money.
The day she arrived in Jiangshan City was the hottest day of the year. The taxi radio announced that the temperature had reached an all-time high.
Gazing at the glaring sunshine outside the window, Jing Haohao felt a sense of indescribable happiness.
The familiarity of Jiangshan City, every plant and tree on the streets, filled Jing Haohao with a deep sense of comfort.
