Mistaken identity. Unreciprocated first love. Worst first impression. All the bad ingredients that connected Qing and Dayu's fate together. Both of them thought they chose the other one, for obvious reasons. But only one of them got it right. The ot...

Present Day
Sunshine Home
Qing's POV
I was nervous; Very-very nervous. I could feel my heart beat beating loudly, as we arrived.
This was the place where Dayu grew up. This place was one of Dayu's most treasured place. And today; after a year of dating, finally he brought me here.
Dayu visited here with my knowledge back when we were in that rotten contract, but I told myself, I didn't really want to know about his life. Even though, I was actually very interested, but, it irked me everytime, when I thought of it too much.
I was in heavy denial of my feelings for him so I got mad at myself for wanting to know about Dayu who's supposed to be just my contract lover. And I also foolishly, because I was a blind jerk at that time, got mad at him. I blamed him for making me feel like that.
I would never be able to go back to that time to change the past ; to undo what I had done, but I hoped that one day, I would be able to make up for all the hurt I caused Dayu during that period of time.
That's why, I never questioned Dayu, when he told me that he'd visit the orphanage everytime he was here in Beijing. I merely said okay and asked him to convey my regards to his teachers and the kids staying there. Even though, what I really wanted was to go with him in those visits. I couldn't bring myself to tell Dayu that I wanted to go with him; because I believed that he would ask me to come with him, when the time comes.
No matter how much I wanted to come with him; I wouldn't tell him to do it. I waited. I wanted him to make the decision himself.
So, when Dayu invited me to come with him today, yesterday after dinner, I was struck dumb with shock.
*******
"Wang Qing..?" Dayu called me, when I continued to look at him, eyes not blinking and mouth opened. I couldn't believe my ears. Did Dayu just invited me to come with him to visit The Sunshine Home, tomorrow?
"Uhmm..Sorry..!" I gasped, finally snapping out of my dazed state, "what was it again?" I just had to hear it one more time.
"I said..." Dayu began, with a sigh, "would you like to come with me tomorrow..? To visit my home?" He always referred to the Sunshine Home as his 'home'.
I had pictures and information of the orphanage but, I have never been there yet.
"Really?" I asked, looking at Dayu, beseechingly, "are you really asking me to come with you?"
"Yes..I did asked you..didn't I? Twice.." Dayu replied, reminding me, with narrowed eyes, "So, how bout it...would you like to come?" Dayu asked again, "that's if you're not busy at work, though..."
"No! I'm not busy!" I quickly interrupted Dayu, panicking in my reasoning, "I could come with you..! I would love to!" I jumped up to my feet, "but..! I have to bring something for the kids there.." I glanced at my wrist watch and it's a little after seven.
