"You are coming to Shanghai with me, tomorrow and that's final." She declared.
"No, I can't. I still have some…."

"Oh my god, am I dreaming? Is the almighty Zhou Liying seriously standing at my door?" Arthur dramatically pinched himself when he saw a special guest at his door, Zhou Liying.
"You are not dreaming." Zhou Liying looked at him with deadpanned expression.
"Then the sun must have risen from the west that you are here." He teased.
"Arthur, will you please stop with your nonsense? If not, I am going back." Zhou Liying groaned.
"Ok, ok, I will stop with my nonsense." Arthur raised his hands in surrender. "Now, come in please."
Arthur invited her inside the house and Zhou Lying entered in. Feeling curious, she looked around the house, at the paintings painted by him.
"I didn't know you are a painter." Zhou Liying commented.
"You didn't know because you never tried to know about me." Arthur pointed out.
"You are so good at it." She praised, admiring the paintings with awe.
Arthur scratched his neck and looked at her with an embarrassed expression. "Nah, I am not so good. I simply exhibit my paintings here and there. But they are nothing like what was painted by other painters."
"You are underrating yourself." Zhou Liying smiled. "I loved to paint. I have seen many paintings and I can say you are great with your art."
"You are a painter?" This time, it was Arthur who was in surprise.
"I was but I have stopped painting a long time back." Zhou Liying looked down with long lines on her forehead and a sad smile. She sighed and then looked at Arthur. "By the way mister, you are a bad host. You do not know how to serve your guest. You haven't even asked me to take a seat yet."
Arthur chuckled and offered her a seat. He then ran toward his kitchen and returned with a glass of water with some snacks.
"So, why are you here?" he asked after taking his seat on the couch.
"I am here to say goodbye. I am shifting to Shanghai."
"Oh really." Arthur stretched a smile on his face. "I will not lie that I am happy because I am gonna miss you like hell. You are one of my friends you know."
"I know."

"I will miss you. I will try to visit you whenever on the trip to Shanghai. I hope you will not forget about me." He teased.
"I will not." Zhou Liying insured and left his house.
Arthur saw her leaving figure and sighed. He sent a quick prayer, 'I hope she will find her true man in Shanghai. She is such a pure soul and she has suffered enough. Now she needs someone to truly look after her, to care for her, to love her.'
