“Some people receive their happiness early and meet the right person at the right age. But there are also a lot of people who’ll be missing out, or will never meet their destined person. If you’re a 30-year-old woman who isn’t married, don’t lose heart. Every woman is a flower, delicate and each with her own charm. There is always someone who can appreciate her.”

“Even if you haven’t met them yet, it doesn’t matter. Just as their woman isn’t the only person in a man’s life, marriage and love shouldn’t be the only thing that matters in a woman’s life. We should always strive to be beautiful for ourselves, society won’t wait for you if you simply stop and cry.”

“If you hear this song and my words, wipe you tears.” Yu Dong had a determined look in her eyes. “Maybe your happiness is just a little late. Don’t let your grief make you miss your chance.”

“Misfortune always inevitably comes, but happiness comes when you smile.”

The bus driver quietly increased the volume of the radio at the beginning Yu Dong’s broadcast, silently observing the weeping woman through the rear-view mirror, only to see her staring out the window, depressed but not crying.
The terminal is here.

The woman got out of the bus with a wooden expression.

As she passed by the driver’s side, the driver couldn’t help but say: “Girl, life has no limits.”

The woman paused.

“No one in this world can live easily, but we still have to live to the fullest.”

The woman rubbed her cheeks.

“Cry, cry it all out, then go to sleep and tomorrow will be better!” The bus driver sighed.

The woman finally cried her heart out, then eventually stopped. Embarrassed, she looked at the bus driver and asked: “Uncle, I passed my stop, will your bus be driving back?”

“Yes, I’ll be driving until dawn!”

……….

It was already past 1:00 p.m. when Yu Dong made her way to Xiaoyue’s studio.

Ren Xinxin was eating some cake and Yu Dong ran over to steal a few bites.

Xiaoyue was speechless: “Can you not steal food from a pregnant woman?”

“I didn’t have lunch!” Yu Dong said, her hands still moving.

“You didn’t eat breakfast either, did you?” Xinxin guessed.

“Mmph.” Yu Dong nodded.

“You’re job’s pretty unhealthy. Your biological clock is out of whack and you don’t eat breakfast, it’s not good for your body, ah.”

“How much money can a radio DJ even make, just quit!” Xiaoyue said.

“Nope…” Yu Dong swallowed the mouthful of cake and explained, “I think my job is pretty meaningful.”

“What’s the use of that job?” Xiang Xiaoyue said with some disdain, “You only have a few listeners since it’s in the middle of the night. And anyone awake that late is guaranteed to be cold, lonely people.”

“Don’t say that!” Ren Xinxin said, “I listened to Yu Dong’s broadcast last night and thought it was very meaningful. Especially that song, I cried when I heard it.”

“You’re a heavily pregnant woman, what are you doing listening to sad songs in the middle of the night?” Xiang Xiaoyue disagreed even more.

“Am I not allowed to get hungry in the middle of the night? I got up to get something to eat.” Ren Xinxin said, “I think I’ll be a 30-year-old unmarried woman in the future.”
