Upon waking up back at the inn, Yueting notices a large basket on the table filled with mangoes. Next to it is a note. As she stands up to read the note, Yueting is surprised to see the mangoes.
The letter was adorned with a plethora of emojis, hearts, and other decorations. Yueting carefully fastened the beautifully purple and gold bag onto her belt and slipped the letter inside. While arranging the mangoes, a knock echoed on the door. "Yueting, are you awake?" Zhang Wei's voice came through the door as he knocked. "come in," Yueting welcomed, gesturing for Zhang Wei and Meiyang to come inside.
"What are these mangoes for?" Zhang Wei inquired, casting a glance between the mangoes and Yueting. "Just a gift from someone," Yueting responded. "Could it be a secret admirer?" Zhang Wei teased. "No," Yueting countered.
Somehow, Zhang Wei's words seemed to fluster Meiyang. Did she know about the other Meiyang's visit? Impossible.
"Anyway, good morning," Yueting remarked as she finished arranging the mangoes. At the bottom of the basket lay another note:
This time, Meiyang and Zhang Wei surely saw the note. "Oooo! It's a secret admirer after all!" Zhang Wei exclaimed. For some reason, Meiyang grew even more flushed. Not only that, but she seemed... somewhat jealous.
Sighing, Yueting replied, "Just a friend." Technically, it was her love, but she didn't really know that version of Meiyang, so it didn't matter. "I see," Zhang Wei remarked, seemingly not convinced by Yueting's explanation. "When will we leave?" Yueting inquired as she packed her stuff away. "After breakfast. I assume you haven't eaten yet?" Zhang Wei stated. "Mhm," Yueting confirmed as she walked towards them to go to the dining hall.
