“Rat-a-tat-tat.” Debbie was startled by a sudden knock at the door. It was already
well past her usual sleeping time and she wondered who could it be at this
ungodly hour. She had just unzipped her down jacket. She had no choice but to
Zip it up again.
“Who is it?" she called out.
“Young girl, it's me.” It sounded like the voice of the village head's wife.
Her guess was right. When Debbie opened the door, she saw the village head's
wife and her handsome son standing outside.
The woman smiled pleasantly on seeing Debbie and asked, “Young girl, did I
wake you?”
Debbie shook her head.
“No, it's okay. I hadn't slept yet. Is everything okay?” she answered, confused as
to why these two were paying her a visit at night.
The woman turned towards her son. He immediately lifted up something from the
ground and handed it to Debbie.
“This is our electric warming fan. My mother and I have brought it to you so that
you don't get cold,” he told her coyly.
“But...no... I can't take this. This is too generous.” Debbie was deeply moved. As
far as she knew, there was not even a water heater in the village. How on earth
did they manage to procure an electric warming fan for her?
She didn’t want to prove a burden to anyone, but the village head's wife was
having none of it and straightforwardly asked her son to carry the fan into
Debbie’s room. Before Debbie knew how and what, the boy had already plugged
the fan into a socket and the room was filled with the slight hum of its motor.
“Thank you so much! But if I keep the fan in my room, what about you?
You'll be cold at night without it,” Debbie protested, though she wasn’t entirely
ungrateful. If she had guessed right, then this might have been the only electric
warming fan in the whole village.
With a genuine smile, the woman responded, “We're used to this weather, young
girl, but you've come from the big city. You can't fall asleep at night without it.
Please sleep tight. We should get going now!”
Then, she held her son's hand and they left together, Leaving Debbie to her
confused thoughts.
With the warming fan on, the room was soon filled with a warm ambiance.
Sitting at the edge of the bed in her thoughts, Debbie even forgot to lie down.
She was confused. “Why does the village head's wife treat me so well?
Is Jared's joke true? Does she really want me to stay and marry her son? Truth
be told, her son is quite handsome. But...I'm married. I have Carlos. If that’s why
this whole special-treatment-thing is going on, I'm afraid their wish can’t come
true, and it's got to stop, “ she mused.
As it turned out, she couldn't be farther from the truth. This was proven when she
went to get some hot water
It wasn't only the village head's wife who was treating her so well.

Debbie found that almost every
person of the village who was a part
of her life at the moment was being
very kind. Even the owner of the
house which she was staying in gave
her special care. When she walked
out of her bedroom and told the
hostess that she wanted some hot
water, the hostess immediately
brought three thermoses to her
bedroom. The content is on

That wasn't the only thing she did.
Earlier, she had prepared a new basin
and a clean towel for Debbie too. At
the moment, Debbie hadn't thought
too much about these new things,
because she believed that all the
other schoolmates had the same
things as hers. The content is on

The notion was broken rather
abruptly when after washing her face
and wiping her body, she slipped into
the bed again. Much to her surprise,
the bed didn't feel cold. And the fan
couldn't have warmed the bed; it was
too low for that. The content is on

Debbie sat up and took a careful look. It wasn’t until now that she noticed there
was an electric blanket on her bed. And moreover, someone had turned it on in
advance, so it was already warm enough now.
