I don't think I've ever felt so depressed in my life. The flight time was only less than two hours but it felt like a lifetime. 

Once the plane landed in Shanghai, I texted him. 

Me : Just landed in Shanghai. 

JCT : I miss you...

Me : I miss you too... 

JCT : Haha we are like two lovesick teenagers 

Me : Hehehe.. who cares

JCT : Once you get out, head straight back to your hotel, don't talk to strangers even if anyone tries to pick you up 

I chuckled. Was he being a protective boyfriend already? 

Me : I know.. I'm not a kid anymore.. anyway, does guys do that here? Pick up girls randomly off the streets?

JCT : Yes! So just ignore them

Me : Nobody will approach me

JCT : Trust me, there will be.. you are too cute 

Me : Am I? 

JCT : Yes you are

Jeez... 

Me : Well, you didn't pick me off the street lol 

JCT : I almost wanted to 

Me : Then? 

JCT : I was not brave enough

Me : Jeez... 

The plane had stopped and the cabin doors opened. Everybody got up and ready to get out. 

Me : Getting off now.. I'll talk to you later

JCT : Call me when you get back to the hotel

I called him but he video called me instead. And first thing I saw was, either Tan Xiao Dai or Tan Li Qiu's face. 

"Haha - who is that?"

"That's Xiao Dai," his face appeared. 

"Ha - I thought my boyfriend went for a facelift!" 

"Jeez..." 

I laughed. 

"You are back at the hotel?"

"Hmph. Nobody tried to pick me up though," I pretended to be disappointed. 

"There better not be...!" 

"What will you do if there is?" I teased him. 

"I'll... I'll... I'll go to bed and cry."

"Hahaha!" I burst out laughing. He's too hilarious. 

"What will you do then?"

"What? You mean if someone tries to pick me up?" 

"Ya.."

"Hmm.. if he's not good-looking, tell him I'm taken."

"And if he's good-looking?"

"I think it'll be quite hard to find another guy more handsome than my boyfriend, unless he's a celeb." 

He grinned. 

I grinned back. 

"What if someone tries to pick me up then?" he asked.

I raised an eyebrow. "Well, that's quite an everyday thing isn't it? I guess I should just have to get used to it." 

"Somebody's quite confident eh.." he teased.
