s.h.i.+ Enxi waited for Fan Xiao Yao to calm down and as she did, she was reminded of the time where Lu Mello did the same for her.
When she was the one crying so hard, Lu Mello was quiet as well. His presence meant a lot for her even if he didn"t say a thing. Was it the same for Fan Xiao Yao?
s.h.i.+ Enxi didn"t have anything to say to her about the confession she made towards Huang Li. What should she tell her?
When s.h.i.+ Enxi felt that Fan Xiao Yao has finally calmed down, she gently broke free from her hug. She took the gla.s.s of carrot juice and handed it to her.
"There are plenty of fish in the sea." That was the first thing that went out of her mouth.
"Xiao Xi..."
"But you have to be careful. Don"t fall easily for others just because they are kind to you. There may be plenty of fish in the sea but there"s plenty of trash in the sea."
Ugh... What kind of comforting words were that? Fan Xiao Yao didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Are you... saying that... Senior Huang is trash?"
"He"s half fish half trash."
In the end, Fan Xiao Yao burst out laughing because of what she said.
The blank look on s.h.i.+ Enxi"s face remained but her eyes softened upon seeing Fan Xiao Yao"s laughing face.
"Drink that up then go to sleep. It"s already late at night."
"Can I sleep with you?"
"No." s.h.i.+ Enxi took the file she was holding earlier before she stood up.
"Please?" Fan Xiao Yao was looking at her with watery eyes. At that moment, she was like a rabbit, asking for attention.
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s brow twitched. Did she think that it was going to work on her? If it was someone else, maybe her charms would work but she was not someone else. "..."
"Bring your own pillow and blanket." She turned and left Fan Xiao Yao there.
Fan Xiao Yao grinned happily. "Thank you, Xiao Xi!"
The next day, s.h.i.+ Enxi woke up early to make breakfast. She didn"t have anything for the day and both of her artists" schedules were free.
While she was in the middle of preparing, she heard the doorbell rang so she had to stop and check who came to visit.
There stood Huang Li, carrying a paper bag.
s.h.i.+ Enxi raised a brow, "What are you doing here?"
Huang Li blinked a few times. What"s with the cold gaze towards him?
"I brought a carrot cake." He said with a smile.
"I don"t like carrot cake."
"I know."
"I heard that you made Fan Xiao Yao cry."
He blinked a few times. Was that the reason why he was being cold towards him?
"You rejected her."
"I don"t have the same feelings for her so I told her that it would be for the best if we remained as friends."
Huang Li felt a wave of chills coming from s.h.i.+ Enxi as soon as he finished saying that.
"Am I supposed to fake my feelings for her?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi gave him a deadly glare at his careless words. "You should have at least tried to work things out with her."
"I"m not that kind of person."
"Then scram. If you ever made her cry again, you"re dead."
Without waiting for his reply, s.h.i.+ Enxi shut the door in front of him. She was in a bad mood and she was not going to invite him in. He was being inconsiderate. If he has rejected Fan Xiao Yao then why was he still trying to act all friendly?
Fan Xiao Yao had woke up not long after s.h.i.+ Enxi did. She went back to her room to take a bath and change her clothes.
By the time she went to the kitchen, the food was already prepared and s.h.i.+ Enxi was just making a carrot smoothie.
"Eat up. After this, you"re going to accompany me to the mall."
"What are you going to do in the mall?"
"I"m going to shop. I need you to come, you"ll carry my things."
"..." In other words, she was just going to be her slave for the day...
"Xiao Xi, can you teach me how to cook after we shop?"
"Why should I?"
"You"re always the one cooking here... I want to at least cook for you too."
"I don"t have time to teach you."
Fan Xiao Yao pouted, "Don"t you think that having cooking skills will be an advantage for me? What if I was suddenly invited to a cooking show? What if in the future I will need those skills for a movie?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi could easily see through her. Fan Xiao Yao only wanted to learn how to cook since she felt embarra.s.sed not being able to help out in the kitchen.
"If you put it that way, alright, I will teach you."
"Really? Thank you, Xiao Xi! You"re the best!"
