"I"ll come and visit you some other time." s.h.i.+ Enxi said, smiling at her brother.
"You really should. You should also call me more often."
"Yes, yes. I will. I really should go now." She leaned and gave her brother a kiss on his cheek, "Take care on your way back, Gege."
s.h.i.+ Yi smiled gently, "I will."
s.h.i.+ Enxi went out of the car and went back to the dorm. Upon entering her place, she saw Fan Xiao Yao, still awake and was watching a movie while hugging a pillow.
What made her surprised was that, Fan Xiao Yao"s eyes were red and puffy.
Did she cry?
Fan Xiao Yao turned to her when she heard her footsteps, she smiled at her, "Welcome back, Xiao Xi."
s.h.i.+ Enxi raised a brow. Fan Xiao Yao"s smile looked stiff and forced. What happened?
Fan Xiao Yao noticed the weird way that s.h.i.+ Enxi was looking at her. She averted her gaze and turned back to the TV.
"The movie I was watching was so emotional." She reasoned out. She reached out for the remote and turned it off.
"Why are you still awake?"
"I couldn"t sleep."
"Then you better sleep now."
"Can I sleep in your room?"
"No."
s.h.i.+ Enxi was about to leave her there but she stopped in her tracks upon hearing Fan Xiao Yao"s next words.
"I confessed to senior Huang..."
s.h.i.+ Enxi turned to her and saw Fan Xiao Yao with her head down. Just by the looks of it, s.h.i.+ Enxi could already tell that Fan Xiao Yao was rejected by Huang Li.
"I"m not interested."
She left Fan Xiao Yao there and went to her room to change her clothes. After that, she was about to go to the kitchen to get a drink but then, she noticed that Fan Xiao Yao was still on the sofa in the living room.
Her position was still the same, her head was down and her shoulders this time was shaking a bit. She was crying.
s.h.i.+ Enxi ignored her and went to the kitchen.
Fan Xiao Yao didn"t know why she was crying like this for Huang Li. Did she start loving him?
The more that she thought of the times where she was with Huang Li, their conversations through messages and calls, the pain in her chest became intense.
At that moment, she thought she was pathetic for easily falling in love with him just because he showed concerned for her.
The more that she thought about it, the more depressed she became. s.h.i.+ Enxi was even being cold to her about it, it was hurting her. She wanted to complain to her.
What kind of friend she was for ignoring her? Can"t she see that her friend was in a mess and yet she was being cold to her!
Just then, she felt someone sit beside her. Fan Xiao Yao turned and saw s.h.i.+ Enxi beside her, reading a file.
"You should drink that, it"s good for improving your mental health."
Improving... Mental health?
Fan Xiao Yao turned and saw a gla.s.s of carrot juice. She turned her gaze back at s.h.i.+ Enxi. "Xiao Xi..."
"So weak." She bluntly said. "Drink that and go to sleep."
Just like that, the complains she had in her mind earlier disappeared. s.h.i.+ Enxi"s weird way of showing her kindness brought comfort in her chest.
"Xiao Xi! I love you!" Fan Xiao Yao pounced and hugged her from the side. She really was her precious friend!
s.h.i.+ Enxi frowned deeply. She flicked her forehead, "Stop being so childish."
Fan Xiao Yao buried her face on her shoulder and just like that, once again, she broke out in tears. "I... It hurts..."
"I didn"t flick your forehead that hard."
Fan Xiao Yao pulled away and pouted, "Stupid Xiao Xi! That"s not what I mean!"
s.h.i.+ Enxi narrowed her eyes, looking at Fan Xiao Yao"s wet face. "Oh wow, I didn"t think that you have the guts to call me "stupid"."
She reached out and pinched her cheeks hard, "b.i.t.c.h, who"s stupid?"
"Let go! It hurts!" Fan Xiao Yao cried out.
s.h.i.+ Enxi released her cheeks and glared at her, "Stop crying, you"re so ugly!"
"But it hurts! My cheeks and my chest hurts!" She started crying out so loud like a child, "Waaaaah!"
Fan Xiao Yao was once again crying on her shoulder and was clenching her s.h.i.+rt.
s.h.i.+ Enxi heaved out a long sigh. It was really so troublesome to have Fan Xiao Yao cry. It was annoying and irritating. She wanted to push her away.
She reached out and placed her hand on her head. She gave her a gentle pat, then another one, until she continued on doing so to comfort her. She remained quiet and allowed Fan Xiao Yao to pour out her tears on her.
