C3 Who's This Man?

Soong Jiayin was complaining and was in a high state of shock. Her comments further derailed Min Peipei, who was staring at her in disbelief.

"No way!" Min Peipei murmured, "How could this kind of thing happen? So you mean that although you are married now, you don't even know who your husband is?"

Soong Jiayin nodded. Bitterness was written on her face and rightly so. She leaned against the wall in dejection and said, "Oh! what should I do? I am so lost. Last night when Wuh Zihao called me, I thought we would always be together. We have been together since we entered university. You know how my family situation is. I might as well get married to make my step-father happy. Anyway, I though that I would be with Zihao for the rest of my life." Soong Jiayin sighed deeply. She said again, "As I stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau today and looked at all the couples coming and going, I don't know why, but I felt like there was something missing between me and Wuh Zihao. And he didn't come over. I lost my head and broke up with him."

Min Peipei was sitting beside Soong Jiayin with her heart full of anxiety. She shrugged her shoulders and asked with a sigh, "Then who is this person?"

Soong Jiayin shook her head and said, "I don't know either. He did not say a word. Until now, I still feel as if I was dreaming."

"Don't think too much. I'm sure he will have to meet you sooner or later. After all, he and you already have a marriage certificate. The one to be anxious should be him. Moreover, you're not in a hurry to get married. Don't be afraid! " Min Peipei consoled her.

Soong Jiayin nodded, "This is indeed the case. Tomorrow I will go and get a new bank card and will also buy a new phone. My salary this month is blown away."

"I will help you!" Min Peipei said, "That is a piece of cake. The most important thing now is to find your so called 'husband'. Everything else can be taken care of!"

Soong Jiayin said sheepishly, "What you said is too simple, but it is not that easy. Other than his name and appearance, I do not know anything about him." All these things had taken a toll on Soong Jiayin and, by now, her voice had gone feeble, her throat was dry and her mental faculties were failing her.

Min Peipei wondered, "But the name Gong Yichen is really very familiar."

Soong Jiayin's heart skipped a beat and she asked nervously, "You know him?"

"I am just saying that this name sounds familiar. I feel like I have heard it before, but I can't remember where. Don't worry, take it easy. There is always a way."

Soong Jiayin lightly nodded.

Next morning, Soong Jiayin brought the money she had saved for the past few months and went to apply for a bank card and also to buy a phone. Soong Jiayin felt very uncomfortable withdrawing her money. But she had no choice. She needed a phone.

When Soong Jiayin was done with getting a new bank card and buying the phone, she returned to her dormitory. Hardly had she charged the phone when she received a call from Min Peipei.

Soong Jiayin conjectured, "Peipei, how did you know that I have already bought a new phone?"

"Yin! Please help me! I am still outside the university. I forgot that I have lessons for today! Please, help me attend the class this time! A new teacher would be taking this class, and I don't know his rules yet. If this teacher is very strict, then I'll be finished!"

Soong Jiayin agreed," Alright, I will go now." Soong Jiayin was about to be a proxy for her friend.

Soong Jiayin hung up the phone, packed up her things, and went to represent Min Peipei in the class. She had been thinking about that man last night. She had mixed feelings in her heart, and she could not sleep well. Anyways, she and Min Peipei did not study the same major, so she had to force herself to take Min Peipei's place in the class. Once in the classroom, she lay her head on the table and tried to sleep.
