After Snake left, Muchen also reluctantly left the both of them.
Sara and Heya rode down the streets side by side without saying anything to each other.
Thankfully, Heya was already used to this so it was not as troublesome for the both of them as it wae the first time, where they had to make stops so she could rest and catch her breath.
Heya still had a lot going through her mind in regards to Cearo. Her mind was so occupied in it that she did not seem to feel strained or tired as she kept riding down the streets in frustration.
Sara also had much going on within her.
No matter how much she tried to not think about it, she could not. Her life was currently messy and she did not know how to organise it.
She was so tired and her head was beginning to ache her, having not slept since the previous day.
She had used her aunt"s powder to hide her tired look and dark eyes but it was really weighing down on her especially now that she was straining herself by exercising.
"We"ll rest here" She signalled to Heya who then stopped riding.
The both of them decided to take a rest and sit at the bench by the side of a field.
When Sara noticed they had left the house without water, she decided to go buy across the street while Heya remained seated there.
After purchasing the water, she was about taking out money from her hoodie"s pocket when her hand pulled out a little piece of paper.
She looked at it in confusion, wondering where it came from since she did not remember putting it in there.
When she saw the salesperson was still waiting for her to make her payment, she quickly took out some cash and gave it to her before she left the store with a nylon bag in hand and the piece of paper in another.
Immediately she got out, she opened it and the first thing she saw was a drawing of a sword and a address.
This was obviously Snake"s doing. He must have put it there this morning without her even knowing about it.
A sigh escaped her lips. These people were obviously not going to let her be.
She made up her mind to handle this head-on. If they wanted the painting, she was going to give it to them and make sure they never appear in front of her and Muchen again.
As Heya gently ma.s.saged her thighs, she heard her phone ring and when she checked, it was a call from an unidentified number again!
She knew immediately that it was Cearo. She had blocked his number and since yesterday, he had been using different other numbers to call her.
She pressed on the power b.u.t.ton and turned the phone off with a sigh.
"Why?" She heard a voice ask as the person approached her and was surprised to find Cearo in front of her.
"I have been calling. Why have you refused to take my calls? Did I do something wrong by chance?"
Heya stood up when she saw him. As usual, he looked stunning in the coat and pants he was wearing.
Unlike his usual bright eyes, his eyes looked sad as he asked her with a painful expression.
"Are you stalking me now?" She asked him expressionlessly.
"No. I only wanted to see you to know why you have been giving me the att.i.tude."
"Isn"t it obvious? I am no longer interested in being friends with you." Heya answered him coldly.
"There must be a reason. You can"t just wake up one day and decide you no longer want to be friends. It doesn"t sound quite reasonable if you ask me."
"Well I did not ask you. Have something else to say? If you don"t then you better start leaving."
He tired to hold her hand but she was quick to slap it off. "Are you crazy right now?"
She asked with a dark expression.
"I need to know why you have been acting strange. I thought you liked me?"
"What?" She asked with a scoff. "I like you? Are you crazy? To be sincere, I only saw you as a friend. And it was fun singing with someone who knows how to do his stuff but do not delusion yourself. Do you think it is very easy to seduce a Li?"
"What are you talking about? Who is seducing who?" He looked at her with a hurt expression when she said she had only seen him as a friend.
"Let me ask you a question." She folded her hands in front of her chest.
"What is it?" He looked at her attentively as be wondered what it was that she wanted to say.
"Did you or did you not meet with Liu Weiyoung?"
His eyes twitched when he heard her question.
"Who...is Liu Weiyoung?" He asked with a raised brow.
"Oh... You do not know her?" Heya asked him in surprise.
If he had at least admitted that he knew her, then she would not have been so angry. But now, he was even denying it when her brother had told her there was a picture of the both of them together?
"I don"t know her" He shook his head.
Heya"s lips pursed. She shook her head as a sad smile appeared on her face.
"Alright.. I won"t ask you further. Since you do not know her, it"s fine." She turned to walk away and saw Sara standing behind them.
Sara had heard most of their conversation even though she had not planned on eavesdropping.
She wondered what Weiyoung"s name was doing in their conversation but she did not seem to ponder on it too much.
She thought about something else— Heya"s reaction.
She could not believe that this girl right here was the same Heya she knew two months ago.
Now, she was so strong and fierce.
While herself who had been trying to motivate Heya now appeared like a weak Chicken.
She wished there was someone who could remind her to be strong.
Her father had his own problems. Her aunt was no where to be found.
And Muchen... She was still indecisive. She had considered telling him about everything. She wanted to tell him and if he still chose to stay beside her after hearing it, then fine. But if he did not want to, she was going to a.s.sume it was fate and they were not meant for each other.
But she was scared. Scared of seeing his disappointed eyes. Scared of him walking away.
If only she had someone to help her make a decision.
But she only had herself to rely on.
Her only wish is for her to not regret whatever decision she was going to make.
