Something

Erin had decided to focus on her studies.

She sat on the floor of her room and made a focus board, which was just a big chart which she would write or stick anything that inspired her.

She stuck a picture of Andrea, her old plane ticket to Paris, and her photo where she was posing in front of the Eiffel Tower on the board. She also wrote down some inspirational quotes in nice handwriting to add too.

Erin lay on her bed and looked at the board. She thought about what she would do after graduation.

With a degree in economics, Erin could get a job at any big company.

She had originally wanted to return to London, but Shanghai would provide many more opportunities for her career. Especially since she would be a graduate of Fudan University.

...

Chang Lihua had returned to her home now, and only came over now and again to visit.

"Why don't you marry Lihua?" asked Erin to her father as they sat on the sofa.

Dad almost choked on his tea, when hearing the question.
