1 <ONE>

"What's the matter?"

Bei Wei Wei looked at three girls and smiled sadly.

"I will miss you." she mummered sadly.

"Don't worry, you will be back next year. Won't you?"

Bei Wei Wei nodded at that question. "Yup, M.A University next year."

"We will be waiting."

"The plane to Beijing, China is ready to be boarded." they heard the announcement.

"Bye!" they said and gave and hugged each other.

"See you in a year." Bei Wei Wei said before going in the plane.

She sat down at her seat near the window and took deep breaths.

She was going to meet her parents after seventeen years.

She had no idea about how her parents looked or how they were. She was sent to live with her grandfather at the Martial Arts Dome when she was just a year old.

When she was 5, she heard her mother had died but her grandfather didn't let her go to China for the funeral.

Then when she was 7, she heard her father married another woman who already had a daughter who was a year younger to her.

Wei Wei always wanted a little sibling, out of the four girls she was the youngest and was treated like a kid and she hated that.

The plane left the airport and now they were in middle of the sky.

"Where are you going little girl?"

She looked beside her and saw an old lady. She looked like she was in her mid-60s, the woman had no wrinkles kn her face nor a single mark.

Bei Wei Wei had never seen someone old with no wrinkles or loose skin like the old woman next to her. To be accurate she didn't know whether to call her "lady" or an "old woman".

"Shanghai." she replied with a smile. "What about you?"

The old lady smiled at her, "Me too".

"Where are you from?"

"Martial Arts Dome." Wei Wei didn't even think twice before answering that. She was born in Shanghai but her actual home was Martial arts Dome.

"What about you miss, you don't seem like someone from M.A Dome?"

"True, I am from Shanghai and I was at Thailand for two months for some work but there was some problem with the flight, so we had to land at M.A airport and it seems there is no direct flight from Zuigao City." the old lady said with a sad smile.

"My grandsons are alone and I am not sure if they know how to take care of themselves, thought I don't live with them, they are my only family left."

Bei Wei Wei just smiled brightly at that. The smile not left her face since, maybe she was born.

Perhaps not the most patient one in the world or M.A Dome but Wei Wei was known as the most patient one out of the four.

The smile in her face never left, only her close ones could tell that the smile in her face was fake, she had never actually smiled with her whole heart for years and maybe that would happen in the future.

"Who are you going to meet?" the lady asked.

"My parents, it's been years since I met them!" she said brightly.

"May I ask you a question? It may sound a bit rude." she said.

Wei Wei just smiled and nodded.

"Why are you faking your smile?"

"...yes?" Wei Wei asked confused, but she still had that smile on her face.

She knew her smile didn't look fake, then how did the woman know it.

"You are really pretty, and a pretty and natural smile would look great on that face but this smile...it's fake. Why don't you show me your real smile?"

She looked down and just nodded. Her grandfather had taught her to always smile, no matter what the problem would be, just smile.

"I don't know." she mummered.

"Sorry, I can't hear you. These hearing aids!"

"I don't know how to smile naturally. I can smile but I don't know how to do ...a real smile."

The old lady patted her back.

"Just think about good things and then smile and wipe that stupid fake smile off your face."

The tone of the old lady was intimidating. She was scared not to follow her, other than her grandfather, she was scared of the the lady beside her.

The smile left her face and she started at the old lady.

"Good. Now only smile when you are actually happy."
