The Rotten Grass Turns to Fireflies as the Cool Breeze Arrives

The news that Xu Fei Mo was to take up his new post in Suzhou had been shared with everyone.

Except for me, his fiancée.

He despised me for being foolish, for always clinging to him.

“This promotion was thanks to Senior Xu from Quzhou recommending me. I must pay him a personal visit to express my gratitude.

“As for Zhu Xiao Ying? No need to inform her. She’s like a dog. If she finds out, she’ll definitely sniff her way to Suzhou.”

I overheard this conversation and returned home, brimming with excitement, to pack my little floral bundle.

In the past, it was always him who left me behind. This time, I wanted to go to Suzhou first and wait for him.

When Xu Fei Mo arrived and saw how clever I was, he’d surely be stunned.

But the next day, when the boatman asked me where I was headed, I scratched my head, unable to recall.

Suzhou? Quzhou? Or was it Songzhou?

The boatman grew impatient, digging at his ears and preparing to shove me aside.

Afraid he might scold me like Xu Fei Mo did, I quickly pressed some silver into his hand and nodded ingratiatingly.

“Quzhou, I’m going to Quzhou.”
