Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 66 - 63: Can’t Wait for the Email (Extra for @Top Mo Fan, the Second Alliance Hierarch)

Chapter 66: Chapter 63: Can’t Wait for the Email (Extra for @Top Mo Fan, the Second Alliance Hierarch)

But after Yan Yan woke up naturally from her sleep, she still hadn’t received an email from Qi Yi.

Yan Yan was a bit down, considering it was the New Year, and Qi Yi hadn’t emailed her immediately.

That "communication" in high school had left Yan Yan a bit "intimidated" by Qi Yi’s mother.

From the bottom of her heart, Yan Yan was a bit frightened by Qi Yi’s mother, so during the time Qi Yi was home for the New Year, Yan Yan didn’t dare to call her carelessly.

During the days Qi Yi was back in China, the two of them communicated exclusively through emails, tacitly avoiding phone calls.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan felt even more depressed.

When Qi Yi and Yan Yan were together, they seemed to talk about all sorts of topics, but they rarely mentioned their families.

For some reason, neither had ever brought it up voluntarily.

Besides that one unpleasant conversation with Qi Yi’s mother, Yan Yan could say she knew very little about Qi Yi’s family.

On the contrary, back in high school, classmates who had moved from the same junior high to Wenzhou High School with Qi Yi said that Qi Yi was especially filial and had a very good relationship with her mother.

Worried, Yan Yan thought Qi Yi might have gone home, brought up the topic of being together with her again, and then was sternly forbidden by her mother from continuing their relationship, leading to Qi Yi’s immediate acquiescence.

Yan Yan shook her head, quickly dismissing the thought. If Qi Yi was someone who compromised that easily, she would never have come to Melbourne to find her.

Distance always bred unnecessary thoughts, but Yan Yan didn’t want to become someone so full of doubt.

If she started thinking like this now, what hope would there be for her future with Qi Yi?

Although the decision to be together had been a bit impulsive, now that they had decided, she should extend more trust to Qi Yi.

Maybe Qi Yi had just had too much to drink and fell asleep.

...

Yan Yan cleared her head, got herself ready, and left with Bao Bao to pick up her parents from the hotel and go house hunting.

As for Shen Xi, one reason was that she’d gone to bed late due to a poor mood yesterday and still hadn’t woken up.

Secondly, there were some things she needed to revise in her thesis she had previously written.

Yan Yan and Bao Bao thought it would be better to pick up Shen Xi on their way to dinner after looking at houses, rather than dragging her out of bed now while she was still "meeting Mr. Zhou" in her dreams.

"Was your silly Shen Xi alright last night after I went to take a shower? I saw her alone in the living room looking a bit upset," Yan Yan brought up last night’s events to Bao Bao.

"It’s fine, later her brother and sister both called her, and they said her dad gave her New Year’s money. It’s just that her mom didn’t want them calling, but after a while, when her mom comes around, they’ll ask her to come back for dinner," Bao Bao summarized the situation from last night.

"That’s good then, if now only her mom is being firm about it, it’s already quite a big improvement," Yan Yan was relieved.

"I don’t know. That’s what her brother and sister said. I can’t understand it; their family has been in Australia for so many years, how can they be less open-minded than our family? It was even her who ’turned’ me," Bao Bao was voicing grievances for both herself and Shen Xi.

"How can that be the same? She’s ’marrying away’, and you are ’mirrying in’; there’s a fundamental difference." Yan Yan started teasing before she could finish her serious sentence.

"Are you itching for a beating again, is that it? Not beaten for three days, and you’d up the roof to remove tiles," Bao Bao made a scratching gesture, and Yan Yan dodged playfully.

Where was the distinction between ’marrying away’ and ’mirrying in’ in the marriage between Bao Bao and Shen Xi?

Though, it was quite rare for lesbians who had just come out to decide on getting married, especially with Shen Xi and Bao Bao still so young.

Men are often accused of being fickle, but T, representing tomboys in the lesbian community, tend to be even more fickle.

As for T, it’s often quite apparent from their choice of outfits, binding their chests, to their manners, but for P, short for "pure girl," their orientation can’t usually be discerned from their appearance.

And because she’s beautiful, P often gets pursued by a lot of boys.

Pretty Girl’s family, in general, are not too easily convinced or accepting when their daughters come out of the closet.

Because they are not mentally prepared, they pressure their daughters to go on blind dates or even to marry someone directly at the first hint of evidence.

That’s why T’s are the least secure.

This is also why many T’s, in the end, reluctantly marry and have children.

Whether it’s men or T’s, a lot of infidelity is caused by a lack of security. freёwebnoѵel.com

For a T like Bao Bao to succeed in her first relationship is exceedingly rare.

Bao Bao took Yan Dabang and his wife to view a house up for auction in a few days in Toorak.

In Australia, auctions are usually to find suitable buyers more quickly, not necessarily due to forced sales like those by court orders.

Thus, auctions do not equate to fire sales.

These years, many houses in Toorak, with Chinese bidders entering the fray, often sell for over ten million Australian dollars.

Houses selling for over fifteen or even twenty million Australian dollars also occasionally appear.

But these are all top-tier mansions; the average house price in Toorak is around three to four million Australian dollars.

Yan Dabang and his wife had no plans to buy an excessively expensive house in Australia.

Yan Yan’s parents were planning to buy a house in Melbourne that was a bit above the Toorak average, with a total budget not exceeding five million dollars.

Five million Australian dollars, over thirty million RMB, is considered a mansion in Melbourne.

In slightly less prestigious areas, one could even purchase a super mansion with a swimming pool.

Upon close consideration, the villas in Toorak are not even as expensive as in some of China’s major cities, plus they come with permanent property rights.

"Cheap" is probably another main reason why entrepreneurs from China are keen to buy villas in Australia.

After viewing the house in Toorak and picking up Shen Xi, the group went out for lunch and then took the parents back to the hotel.

Finally home, Yan Yan checked her computer, but still had not received a reply from Qi Yi in her inbox.

Yan Yan returned to Eureka at three in the afternoon.

Qi Yi had no reason to have slept from last night until noon today without waking up.

Yan Yan checked her Sent Mail again; she had indeed sent the email to Qi Yi last night.

It was unlikely that Qi Yi wouldn’t understand the meaning of her pen sketch, nor should she be indifferent to Yan Yan’s drawing.

Yan Yan thought that even if Qi Yi genuinely hadn’t received her email from the previous night, by this time, she should have been expected to send an email asking why Yan Yan hadn’t written anything.

What exactly had happened to Qi Yi in China?

Yan Yan was somewhat puzzled and a bit concerned.

She tried to calm her mind and think, finally deciding to wait a little longer.

If by four o’clock, when taking her parents to look at another house in Hawthorn, she still hadn’t received an email from Qi Yi, she would call her.

Yan Yan, her mind in turmoil, decided to shut down the computer and continue with the pen sketch she hadn’t finished yesterday, a portrayal of her high school campus.

For Yan Yan, drawing sketches was the most soothing activity for her emotions.
