A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 788 Flying Towards Freedom

Inside the room, the two girls, having finished their showers, snuggled together on one bed.

"Turn off the lights and go to sleep. What are you doing on your phone? — Are you trying to tip off my mom?"

"without."

Yang Mi shook her head and showed Liu Yifei what she had posted.

It was for Sun Ting, who didn't come along.

"Tingting, are you asleep? Did you put away my vegetables?"

Upon seeing the contents, Liu Yifei was stunned: "Oh no! I forgot to save it! Oh dear!"

"Oh?"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and without thinking, she added, "Quick, go steal Liu Yifei's vegetables! Hurry! She confiscated them!"

Unfortunately, it's already past one o'clock, and Sun Ting is already asleep.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

After the lights were turned off, the two girls sat at opposite ends of the room. Yang Mi couldn't sleep—although she was very tired, the thought of Qianqian leaving tomorrow made her inexplicably sad.

Are you asleep?

"what?"

"—When you go to France this time, can you please not take a leave of absence from your studies? It shouldn't get that bad, right?"

"Ugh————"

In the darkness, the girl, who had closed her eyes, opened them again.

Turning around and looking at the ceiling, she said, "I don't want to drop out of school either, but knowing my mom as I do, she won't listen to my dad. If she had listened to him, they probably wouldn't have divorced. So—I reckon she'll definitely come looking for me as soon as I go back to China. So it's really bothering me."

"Aunt Liu is indeed quite stubborn."

"Yeah. So, there's no way I can reason with her. But since we can't reason with each other, let's just not talk about it anymore. Before, I was a minor and couldn't make decisions. But now I'm an adult and can take care of myself. Oh right, I forgot to tell you."

"What?"

"I plan to regain my Chinese citizenship."

"That's very difficult; it's impossible unless you make a significant contribution."

"No, it's possible. Because I was young when I changed my nationality. I asked around, and it's usually easier for minors to change their nationality back according to their parents' wishes than what you described. I went there this time to talk to my dad about this."

"Well... okay. So, have you made up your mind about what to do after you come back from France?"

"I haven't planned on it, I don't know. At worst, I'll just head to the mountains. My home is in Hubei Province, which is quite close to Wudang Mountain."

"Holy crap! Sister, stop messing around! You really want to become a Taoist priest?"

"No, it's just—well, I'm tired and want to rest, that's all."

"But your career—"

Yang Mi told him what she was most worried about.

But all he got in return was a light laugh from the girl: "Ha, don't worry, there are plenty of actors who aren't famous, as long as you are."

As she spoke, the girl suddenly snuggled up in the blankets and hugged her friend who had been with her for a very important period of her life.

Smelling the same hotel shower gel scent on her as his own, he suddenly leaned closer and rubbed his nose against his friend's cheek: "Sis~ you should work harder, if you become famous in the future, could you at least give me some work? Besides—at the very least, I can be your assistant, okay? I'll take care of you, and you'll support me. Okay?"

"----OK."

Letting Sisi hug her, the girl, who was also staring blankly at the dark ceiling, suddenly nodded: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have something to eat, you definitely won't go hungry."

"Sis, you're so good to me. I'll give myself to you for life~ Hehe~"

Liu Yifei's tone was incredibly relaxed.

Yang Mi didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips slightly.

That evening's conversation abruptly ended at some point.

Liu Yifei got sleepy as she was talking.

Yang Mi got sleepy while listening.

Finally, they embraced and slept soundly until dawn.

Just after 7 a.m., Liu Zhishi called right on time: "Wake up, it's 7:30! Hurry up and come down for breakfast, then head to the airport. Don't be late!"

Yang Mi answered the call.

Then, he coldly pushed away the girl he had been holding all night.

The moment she pulled her hand out of her clothes, her expression turned ruthless: "Get up now!"

Although they hadn't slept enough, the two of them still got out of bed with puffy eyes.

Finally, the two of them, each wearing sunglasses, appeared discreetly in the Marriott restaurant.

Because of the late-night snack last night, neither of them had much of an appetite; they just drank some milk and that was it.

Then, at 8 o'clock, the three of them met downstairs.

"You don't look like someone going to France at all—you're not even carrying any luggage."

Seeing Liu Yifei carrying a small backpack, Liu Zhishi made a comment, then waved her hand: "Get in the car, I'll take you to the airport."

"it is good."

The minivan rushed through Shanghai's morning rush hour, heading towards the airport.

None of the three spoke in the car.

Today is the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), but there are still quite a few cars on the road.

Wearing sunglasses, Liu Yifei faced the rising sun, and for some reason, a surge of excitement welled up inside her.

Yang Mi was already asleep.

We arrived at the airport a little after 9 a.m.

After getting off the bus, the three of them went into the departure gate together. Liu Yifei took her passport to get the tickets, Liu Zhishi escorted her, and Yang Mi went to help queue up.

And then—when Yang Mi saw the "Fairy Sister" walking towards the empty first-class aisle from the economy class queue, she realized she'd been presumptuous and couldn't help but mutter, "You should have said you were going first class! You spendthrift!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses: "What do you mean? You're still flying economy class?"

"Nonsense, first class is so expensive! Especially international flights—wait, aren't you my assistant? I'm flying economy, why are you flying first class?"

"Because I want to."

The girl arrogantly pushed up her Chanel sunglasses, adopting the air of a wealthy person: "Come on, let's go to the restroom together before going through security."

"Screw that, hurry up and get through security! We still have to go through customs! Stop dawdling!"

Liu Zhishi, being older, stopped the bewildered junior and pushed her shoulder, saying, "Hurry up and go."

"No, wait—I want to see some local specialties too."

"They sell it inside too! It's past nine o'clock, are you trying to be late?"

Without saying a word, she pushed Liu Yifei's shoulder and headed straight for the security checkpoint.

Soon, we arrived at the security checkpoint for first class.

"Well—I'm leaving now."

"Go ahead, don't mess around with your phone on the plane. Contact your dad beforehand, okay? Don't let it run out of battery and he won't be able to reach you. I've heard there are a lot of pickpockets in Paris, so be careful since you've never been before. Especially keep your passport safe. Also, exchange only a small amount of cash—"

Liu Zhishi gave him some rather rambling instructions.

She had never been to France, but she and her family had been to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and even South Korea, so she wasn't exactly inexperienced.

Even though she knew that Sisi also had experience studying abroad, as the older sister, she still couldn't help but nag a bit.

"Hehe, I know, senior, don't worry."

"Um."

Liu Zhishi shut up and said no more.

At this moment, Liu Yifei turned to look at Yang Mi.

"I'm leaving!"

Although she was still wearing sunglasses, you could tell from the girl's freckles that she was quite happy.

But soon the gums gradually receded.

"You—oh dear, why are you crying? It's not like I'm not coming back."

Seeing the tears streaming down her friend's face behind her sunglasses, Liu Yifei was taken aback and quickly offered a word of comfort.

Yang Mi didn't say anything, she just shook her head.

He then stepped forward and hugged his friend.

"Well----"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled even more brightly.

He patted his friend on the back and said, "Okay, don't worry about me. I'll let you two know as soon as I get there and there's anything going on."

After saying that, she patted Yang Mi on the back, meaning to let go of her feelings.

But Yang Mi didn't.

Instead, he hugged her even tighter: "You—you must be happy every day!"

All those words, in the end, boil down to this one sentence.

Liu Yifei was stunned.

Then suddenly his whole body went limp.

"Um."

She replied, "Don't worry, I'm very happy right now. And isn't all of this just for my own happiness? So, don't worry, take care of yourself, and wait for me to come back!"

Yang Mi remained silent, but still didn't loosen her embrace.

Finally, Liu Zhishi couldn't stand it anymore: "Alright, alright, I know you two have a good relationship, but look at the time! It's 9:30! The plane is about to board! Wait until she gets to Paris and everything is settled before you talk. Hurry up, and remember, Xixi, don't return too much money—"

If Yang Mi is emotional, then Liu Zhishi is absolutely rational, like an older sister.

Whether you're poor or rich, it's all good.

Whether it's long-distance experience or not.

After repeating it again, Yang Mi realized that she really should relax.

Then she loosened her embrace and said in a sweet, slightly nasal voice, "Then hurry up and go inside. Remember what I said, okay?"

"Okay—I'm off then."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Yifei's phone rang.

After glancing at the caller ID, the girl waved to the two of them, answered the call, and walked towards the security checkpoint.

"Hello, Mom—I have to go now, it's almost my turn. I'm hanging up."

After saying that, he turned his head.

Looking at the two people still watching her at the security checkpoint, suddenly, her little gums showed again.

He happily flashed a "V" sign at the two of them: "Let's go! Be careful on your way back, bye!"

After saying that, he walked directly into the empty security checkpoint of the first-class cabin.

This time, she didn't look back.

A moment later, after passing through security, she walked toward the boarding gate.

Along the way, for some reason, the girl felt her steps becoming lighter and faster.

As she approached the check-in gate, she finally heard the announcement over the loudspeaker: "Passengers bound for Paris, France—"

So I subconsciously quickened my pace.

Ticket check.

Boarding.

After sending a message to my dad, I turned off my phone.

Moments later, the plane took off.

Dive into the clouds.

Like a bird soaring towards freedom.
