The weather in Moon City was lovely that day, with clear skies, fresh air, and a gentle, pleasant breeze.

Qin Manyi ran until she was gasping for breath, her face pale, muttering:

"Oh no, oh no..."

Qin Manjiang had asked her to pick someone up. She had indeed arrived at the airport very early, and she had received Qin Manjiang's call when the man boarded his flight in Fu City.

But what she had never expected was that she would actually fall asleep out of boredom in the waiting lounge!

When she woke up and checked the time, it was already past nine. The man's scheduled arrival time was nine, and the large display showed that his flight had arrived long ago.

Qin Manyi was frantic. She had even switched off her phone, terrified that Qin Manjiang might call now to ask whether she had picked him up.

He's still here, right?

Since he needs me to pick him up, he must be unfamiliar with the place. He probably wouldn't dare wander off, right?

Qin Manyi scanned the arrivals exit, where no one was coming out anymore, and her spirits instantly sank to rock bottom.

Qin Manjiang had never asked her to do anything before. Now that he had finally given her a task, she had gone and messed it up.

Just as she decided to try her luck and ask the ground staff, she caught sight of a tall, thin man out of the corner of her eye, holding up a sign.

The man looked utterly drained and in rather bad shape. Qin Manyi was certain she did not know him at all.

But what struck her as strange was that the sign he held had her name written on it in large letters-Qin Manyi.
