Another Girl

Continued from "Someone Who Cares"

At the train station a few weeks ago.

"One-way ticket or return ticket?" a busy-looking skinny man was sitting behind the counter looked impatient as he issued the train tickets.

Xiazhi shuddered and tried to remain as calm as possible. This time would be her first time travelling, hence her nervousness. She cleared her mind and tried to state as solemnly as possible, but the immature, high-pitched voice in her just made the uncle want to laugh even more.

"One-way ticket to City A!" she said in a high-pitched voice, restlessly pulling on the strands of her hair. The man gestured towards the display of the traditional point-of-sale system, where red-coloured digits spelt out the amount she was required to pay for her ticket. Her nervousness turned into excitement, and she gleefully handed over the money.

Part two of her mission, now that she had the money, how would she break out the news to Yan Ning?
