He grinned: "There's a torrential downpour today, and the flight's delayed. Luckily, a colleague who had a sudden change of plans is available tomorrow. I immediately had him take my place for this trip..."
For that colleague, it was naturally a sought-after opportunity.
She was stunned: "You crazy guy, can you really skip such an important trip?"
He was nonchalant: "The delegation has nearly thirty people. Yes, the meeting is indeed important, but for me, I've got some psychological fears. First, I don't want to take any flights or private planes lately, especially in this bad weather; I'm afraid of accidents. Second, I've realized I've always spent very little time with you. We can't continue seeing each other so infrequently. Plus, aren't we newly married? I need to take my marital leave, don't I?"
"..."
That's what she had been worried about before. They've always seen each other so rarely, what's the point of getting married?
