A few hours later, the plane was slowly landing and Xiao Yunhua snapped awake from her short nap . She stretched her arms and yawned, clicking her seatbelt back in place as the pilot requested .

Finally, the plane was safely on the ground and the sun was slowly beginning to rise . With the slight streak of light in the sky, the pa.s.sengers were carefully ushered to leave the plane .

As Xiao Yunhua only had her small suitcase and nothing else, she didn't have to wait in line to reclaim her other luggage like other pa.s.sengers .

She ran her hand through her hair, feeling the tangled strands . Pulling out a compact mirror and looking at her reflection, Xiao Yunhua cringed .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntShe had dark circles prominent underneath her eyes and her usual pale skin held an even paler glow, unhealthier than it already was after her coma .

Xiao Yunhua sighed, putting away the circular mirror and dragged her luggage behind her . The airport wasn't too big, yet a sense of extravagance filled up the place .

According to the brochure that she picked up, the island and all of its beauty was actually owned by a rich tyc.o.o.n . By some odd reason, the tyc.o.o.n had decided to open the island to the public a few years ago hence why the numerous amount of tourists each year .

She checked on her phone for an available hotel nearby and found a decently clean hotel nearby the airport .

Surprisingly, the hotel room was only fifteen minutes from the airport and located near the beach . Xiao Yunhua asked the taxi driver to drive her there and then she called to book the room .

Even though they ended up needing a credit card number to reserve a room, with the information that Xiao Yunhua gave them, they decided to hold the room for an hour .

Luckily, she had arrived and quickly checked into her room .

Meanwhile Qiang Yue stressfully sighed and rubbed his temples to help his sudden wave of a headache .

Ling Qiu saw his state and sighed, crossing her arms . "Qiang Yue!" The only time that she unprofessionally referred to him by his name rather than call her doctor was when she was angry at him .

Which, in this case, she was . "How long has it been since you've taken a vacation?"

Qiang Yue glanced at her, contemplating, then answered, "I believe a year or two . Why?" Ling Qiu gasped and quickly dialed the hospital director, leaving the room to explain the situation to their boss .

Once the director had heard that Qiang Yue was stressed and hadn't taken a single vacation in the past year or two, he immediately told Ling Qiu to tell him to pack his bags for two weeks .

Not only would it be considered a Christmas vacation, but the doctor would also be getting a complimentary extra week as well .

Ling Qiu grinned and burst inside of the room, telling Qiang Yue of his sudden vacation .

"But where would I go?" Even though Ling Qiu could be considered one of his really good friends, she had been too impulsive this time! He was completely unprepared .

Ling Qiu showed a picture of a beautiful, dream-like island . "Carte Blanche Island! The perfect place to be!" Before Qiang Yue could change his mind, she got him a ticket and shooed him off to pack his things .

Later that day, Qiang Yue bid Ling Qiu goodbye and the nurse told him that he must make sure to take plenty of pictures .

As she watched his plane take off an hour later, a feel of melancholy filled her .

'How I wish I could be with you . . . '

Unfortunately, Ling Qiu knew that Qiang Yue was never into her like that . In his mind, they were good friends . And she couldn't bear to change that status for fear of scaring him off permanently, all due to her urge of selfishness . . .
