Song Nian crossed her arms and leaned back against the chair, closing her eyes to rest. After a while, she felt some movement from her side. Qi Yu unbuckled his seatbelt and got up. She carefully lifted the sleep mask to take a look. She guessed Qi Yu had gone to the bathroom. She leaned back against the chair again.

In less than two minutes, someone sat down next to her and even tapped her arm. Song Nian pretended not to feel it, but that person was determined and tapped her again.

Song Nian frowned and lifted her sleep mask with a whoosh. Just as she was about to curse, she realized that the person sitting next to her was not Qi Yu. It was a strange man. He was wearing a neat suit and looked rather bourgeois.

He gave Song Nian a friendly smile, “Hi.”

Song Nian paused for a moment and nodded, “What’s the matter?”

The man’s smile was a little shy, “Nothing much. It’s just that I am kind of bored by myself. I see that you’re also sitting by yourself, so I thought I’d come over to chat.”

Song Nian’s immediate reaction was that – She was sleeping soundly. How was she bored?

Qi Yu was actually back from the bathroom, but when he saw that his seat had been taken by someone else, he stopped in his tracks and watched. The man obviously went over to hit on Song Nian. Unfortunately, Song Nian’s brain was too slow to realize that. She stared blankly at the man, looking a little silly and a little dumb.

She could not even see through this man’s little tricks, yet she had the nerves to go looking for romantic encounters and one-night stands at the bar.

Qi Yu did not interject. He just stood there and watched expressionlessly. Song Nian only realized what the man was here for when the man asked for her number. She looked a little embarrassed and could not find a suitable excuse to reject him in time.

It was really unexpected to be hit on by a man under these circumstances, especially since Zheng Chengyang, next to them, had been mouthing words to her, urging her to reject the man quickly. Song Nian glanced at Zheng Chengyang, and at the same time, she saw Qi Yu, who was standing not far away and watching the show. From the looks of it, he had been standing there for quite a while and knew what was going on.

However, there was no hint of emotion on his face, let alone jealousy. That was true. After all, she was his ex-wife. Why would it bother him if his ex-wife was being hit on?

With this thought, Song Nian turned her head and smiled at the man, then gave him her phone number. She would change her phone number soon anyway, so it didn’t matter.

The man saved her number on his phone and gave her a call, “This is my phone number. My surname is Li.”

Song Nian nodded and kept a polite smile on her face, “Okay, I’ll remember it.”

The man did not stick around after getting the phone number. After saying a few more words to Song Nian, he returned to his seat. He sat in the last row, not too far away from Song Nian.

Qi Yu walked over unhurriedly. Song Nian lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, not even glancing at him. Qi Yu wasn’t interested in what had just happened. He sat down and continued to read the document on his laptop.

After the man returned to his seat, he started texting Song Nian, explaining his purpose for coming to Hainan. He also said that he would stay in Hainan for some time and told Song Nian about the places he would go and the people he would meet. Song Nian wasn’t really interested in the man’s itinerary, but she replied very patiently.

The man also asked about Song Nian’s itinerary. Song Nian thought about it and said that she was on vacation. The specific itinerary was uncertain. She would stay in Hainan for a few more days if she had a good time. If she did not, she would leave immediately.

The man recommended a few spots in Hainan and persuaded Song Nian to stay longer. Song Nian glanced at the messages and did not reply. Shortly after, the man sent another message, asking Song Nian if she had booked a hotel and if he could spend some time with her after they landed.

Song Nian had not paid attention to this. She flipped through Zheng Chengyang’s messages and confirmed that the hotel he booked for her happened to be near the sea, with a beach view from the window.

However, Song Nian was careful not to tell the man where she would be staying. She only said that she had friends in Hainan and would come to pick her up after she landed.

After saying these, Song Nian put down her phone. At the same time, she involuntarily glanced at Qi Yu from the corner of her eye. Qi Yu did not react, as if he did not care who she was talking to at all. Song Nian was bummed out all of a sudden.

She remembered that even during their marriage, Qi Yu would not react much when she was hit on by men, not to mention they were now divorced.

As Qi Yu didn’t love her, he didn’t care who hit on her. What a disheartening realization. She had worked hard for this marriage in the past year, but Qi Yu was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Song Nian didn’t see any hope in him. If Qi Yu had shown that he cared about anything at all about their marriage, she wouldn’t have agreed so easily when he asked for a divorce.

Song Nian turned her head to look out the window and couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh. She closed her eyes and didn’t say a word to Qi Yu until the plane landed.

As the plane came to a stop and the passengers began to exit, the man who had tried to hit on her earlier came over and shouted from across the crowd, “Hey Miss Song, let’s go for dinner once I’m done with my business!”
