Qingyu from daughter POV

I felt really excited right now. Because my flight already landed. Yeah… I was visiting Beijing for holidays. I was smiling all the time like a crazy girl. And my friend gave me a weird look.

Like I care.

I just gave them stupid smiles.

Did you know why I felt so excited???

Yeah… You were right! because I had 0,000000000001% chances to meet Wang Qing or Dayu or maybe both of them. Who knew. Who knew, right? We didn't know about God's plans.

Even I had to endure the long flight and my money drained so quickly. So I had to save money again *siighhh*. It was not easy for me to visit Beijing. I had to save money first.

Beijing… oh Beijing…

My smiles bloomed again. And I was giggling while imagining things between Baba and Dayu until my friend gave me a smack.

“What???!! Why did you smack me?”

“Stop giggling and smiling to yourself like crazy!”

I was just about to open my mouth again before my friend cut me.

“Stop. Let's go from here. Our taxi has arrived.”

Fine.

Okay… to be honest, big city was not truly my thing. I hated traffic jams! And Beijing was full of traffic jams. Eerrghhh… I kept complaining in my heart.

After few hours finally we arrived in our hotel. Not an expensive hotel. You know, we had limited budget xD. So we just stayed at 1 or 2 stars hotel. So maybe it couldn't be called hotel. But who cares??  As long as we could have safe sleeps and took a bath. And this hotel was not bad. The neighborhood was not too busy and noisy. And many food stores, cafes, were in our surrounding.

I felt sticky and smelly from my journey. So I told my friend I would take a bath first before we went to sleep. It was long journey, of course we needed to sleep first before we enjoyed our trip in Beijing.

--------

We were already in Beijing for almost one week. We visited many places, enjoyed the scenery, enjoyed the foods, took many photos, tried this and that, had fun. Buutttt I didn't meet Baba or Dayu. Huuaaaaa *crying*

Even though I knew that it would be impossible I could meet them. But I still hoping for miracle.

Maybe they weren't in Beijing this time. *sighhh* And tomorrow I already had to go back to my country. And tonight was my last night in Beijing.

It was past midnight. And I could't sleep. Because I was thinking too much. Before we arrived in Beijing, I already had high hope, and then it had to be crumpled down.

My fault.

My friend was already asleep. And I didn't want to disturb her. So I walked alone to the coffee shop near our hotel. It's 24 hours Cafe, so I could still go there.

The coffee shop did not have many visitors at this hours. Of course! Who would visit a coffee shop at 1.30 am??  Ghost maybe?

I just spotted one uncle in the corner wearing his pajama. I didn't know why he was wearing his pajama to have a coffee. Maybe his wife kicked him from the bed or something?

I rolled my eyes. It was not my business.

They said the coffee from this place was so goooddd. And my friend said that too. But I ordered hot chocolate, mineral water and cheesecake, since I couldn't drink coffee. I sat alone near the window so I could see the outside. But I diddn't see many people or cars.
