"Alright, I will bear with it and listen to the rest of your story," Meng Xin Zhi was not a person to mince words.
"Thank you, young lady, for gracing me with your time."
Nie Guangyi's story continued:
"My ex-wife and I were complete strangers on that flight."
"But, to my surprise, every word she said seemed to resonate with me."
"Without knowing she had seen reports about me, I felt she was someone who could touch my soul."
"I had left my hometown alone as soon as I turned eighteen."
"My mother had passed away, and I had irreconcilable differences with my father."
"For four long years, I was actually very lonely."
"Every semester, I would change schools or even countries as an exchange student."
"I had no fixed abode, unsure of where my roots lay."
"To others, I seemed to fit in wherever I went."
"But in my heart, I felt like a rootless duckweed."
"Back then, Xuan Shi was still studying in China, and nobody really took much care of me."
