Chapter 20.2: Something to hide (心中有鬼)

A few days later, He He as usual, after dinner, is sitting on a pile of cus.h.i.+ons on the living room floor. Leaning against the sofa, she had the TV on while placing her laptop on her laps. She is reading novel while also mult.i.tasking by chatting with her group of friends online. She occasionally looked up at the TV news while her drinks, snacks and paper towels are all placed within her reach.

He He was surprised with Zheng Xie’s call. He said: “Come over and help me to look for something.” It turns out that he was in the area so decided to drop into his apartment to pick up some items.

He He put aside her stuff and went over to help him. Zheng Xie rarely come to this apartment, so He He often go over to help him clean up and organize his stuff since they uses the place from time to time as warehouse. This time, Zheng Xie is looking for his new set of golf clubs.

He He things have always been very chaotic. But she would remember clearly where Zheng Xie’s things are kept. Stepping on the stool, she is ready to take the set from the cabinet top, but Zheng Xie said: “You step away. I will do it.”

He is tall. Standing on tiptoe, he put his hands up to take. But he was wearing a suit, so not suitable for this. Suddenly a snap was heard and his s.h.i.+rt cuff b.u.t.tons fell off and rolled under the table. He He lying on the floor looking for it for a long time but failed to locate it.

Zheng Xie asked: “Such a heavy thing, you put it up yourself?”

Kneeling on the ground still looking for the b.u.t.ton, He He holding her breath and said: “If not who would do it?”

“So many places, why you want to put it so high up? Some more to step on stool, it is very dangerous.”

He He said: “Stepping on stool, what danger is there? Ai, I found it.”

Getting up from the ground, she show off her findings to Zheng Xie, not forgetting to sarcastically said: “It turns out that the legendary custom s.h.i.+rt b.u.t.tons will also drop.”

Zheng Xie said: “Do not talk so much. Help me find another s.h.i.+rt.” He fiddled with He He’s hair as her hair is messed up after laying on the ground.

He He said: “Those clothes had not been worn for a long time. I will go and iron it for you.”

Zheng Xie said: “Forget it. You help me to sew this back as I need to go to a party in half an hour.”

Zheng Xie followed He He across to her home. He He said: “Haiz. Should have brought a change of clothes for you to wear. Otherwise, you want to wear mine?”

Zheng Xie held out his arm and said: “Just sew it.”
