8: GOING BACK TO CHINA (PART 8)

GOING BACK TO CHINA (PART 8)

...Laptop!2

Xue Lin's eyes flew open. She reached out and pulled her luggage closer. She unzipped the luggage and found her laptop lying inside. She sighed in relief.

'Thank goodness! As long as the Wi-Fi password is still the same, I'll be able to use online banking. It would be better if I could buy a cell phone but the ones who will get to it first are them. Hmm… what can I do? First, I can apply for another credit card.'

She turned on the laptop and smiled. 'They didn't change the Wi-Fi password. Of course, they didn't. Only I know the username and password. They couldn't change the password without my help.'

She wrote an email to the bank and requested for another credit card. After taking care of it, she glanced at the door. 'I don't want them to come inside when I'm sleeping.' Thinking that, she pushed her old study table towards the door and blocked the path to open the door from outside. 'Looks like I have to starve tonight. Welcome back to my usual life.'

Xue Lin went to the washroom and checked her face in the mirror. 'I look frugly.' She has a habit of joining two words 'freaking' and 'ugly' together when she looks extremely ugly. She let cool water wash her face and hands to minimize the pain she was feeling. After that, she went to bed. She covered herself with bed cover top to bottom. She couldn't sleep without covering her whole body like a dead person.

'A good sleep will help me to cool down and I'll be able to think more clearly.' Xue Lin yawned and closed her eyes.

'Alright, I'm wrong. With an empty stomach, no one can think properly.' Since she slept at noon, she woke up at two in the morning. And now, her stomach is grumbling.

Growl!

'Ah! This is a nightmare.' Xue Lin frowned and rubbed her stomach. 'I need to distract myself.'

She took her laptop and turned it on. Seeing the Wi-Fi was turned on, she smirked. 'They say, old habits die hard. Looks like someone is still up. It's a blessing for me.'

When she was still in high school, she started writing stories and she secretly worked as a freelancer wanting to be free from this nightmarish family. After she saved money, she applied to study abroad. When she got admitted, only then she let her family know, packed her bag and left.

Her family only had money to marry her off but not to let her dream come true. And her dream was to be a free bird. There was no way she would let them get what they wanted with her.

She wasn't a doll that her parents could play with. Moreover, she earned money to continue her studies and no one had any right to tell her what to do when they didn't care for her happiness. Since she didn't have any attachment towards her family, she left without regret.

But she ended up here once again. And the scary part was that she had no job.

The only thing she could do by staying in a room is to write stories once again to earn money. As long as she isn't employed, she will continue to write stories.

Xue Lin relaxed her body. 'It's been a while, my baby brain. Now, fill me with overflowing romantic ideas…'

Growl!

'This is the worst!'
