Chapter 138 - Are you happy? (1/2)

”Ying Sheng, the way you keep stealing glances at my wife do you perhaps like her?” Lei Zhao deep voice sounded at the dinning table interrupting Lei Xiao Tong who was talking to Yan Mei.

Ying Sheng glared at Lei Zhao. Lei Zhao's lips curved into a mischievous smirk as he turned to look at his wife.

Yan Mei raised her brows and looked at Ying Sheng. Feeling Yan Mei's gaze on her, Ying Sheng felt blood warming her face.

”No-no!” Ying Sheng snapped quickly at Lei Zhao.

”So you hate my wife instead?” Lei Zhao retorted. He was clearly enjoying teasing Ying Sheng.

”I…”

Ying Sheng trailed off awkwardly.

”No, I don't hate her” She continued.

”So you admit you like my wife? I never knew you were bent.”

”Cousin!”

Lei Zhao busted into laughter.

”Do not have any feelings towards my wife. I don't care of you're my cousin I will eat your eyes if you have bad thoughts about her.”

Ying Sheng wrinkled her nose at his comments

”E Creppy.”

Lei Zhao shook his head, ”Just protecting what's mine.”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at Lei Zhao and looked at Ying Sheng.

”Don't mind him. Is there something you want to say?” Yan Mei asked softly.

She could always feel Ying Sheng's gaze on her. The gaze was full of curiosity and awe. Yan Mei felt a little uncomfortable at first since it's the first time someone has looked at her like that.

”Aah...nothing. It just you are full of confident and elegance. I-I can we be friends?”

Ying Sheng asked as she fidgeted. This is the first time she had asked someone to be friends and her palms felt clammy.

Lei Zhao busted into a hearty laugh when he heard Ying Sheng.

”Are you really Ying Sheng? Did you hit your head? When did you want to be friends with someone?”

Ying Sheng's face burned in embarrassment at Lei Zhao's words.

Lei Xiao Tong was just staring at Ying Sheng like she was an alien. She could see the light that shone in Ying Sheng's eyes anytime she looked at Yan Mei.

She was like a child wanting validation from someone she looks up to.

”Yes, we can be friends.” Yan Mei finally spoke. She could see the pain and hurt that flickers in the girl's eyes. Even though she tries to act tough, Yan Mei knew that was all an act.

”Cousin-in-law, really? We can be friends?!”

Yan Mei smiled and nodded, ”Yeah.”

A bright smile broke out on Ying Sheng's face without her even realizing it. And this began the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Lei Xiao Tong looked at Lei Zhao. Without verbally communicating, they had both answered the questions in each other's eyes.

”So Ying Sheng, why didn't you go to school?”

Yan Mei asked suddenly. Today was Wednesday and she was sure schools hadn't close by this time.

”Oh.” Ying Sheng laughed awkwardly.

”Cousin-in-law, I ditched it. I really hate sitting in that class. Why go through all the hassle to learn. I can just drop dead and die right now. Instead of learning that boring medical books, I will rather enjoy life.”

Yan Mei nodded, ”And are you enjoying life? Are you happy?”

Ying Sheng stiffened at Yan Mei's questions. Was she enjoying life? Was she happy?

No, she wasn't enjoying life nor was she happy. She hated her life.

”Don't keep waiting for people who don't deserve you. If there is someone who makes you happy and is there for you, make sure you don't lose that person.”

Yan Mei said suddenly surprising Ying Sheng. Is like Yan Mei was able to see what was going on in her life. For some reason she felt Yan Mei was talking about Han Xi and Liam.

”If it gets tough, stand at a hill and shout, f.u.c.k you life. Trust me, you will feel so much better!”

Yan Mei chuckled as she said, breaking Ying Sheng from her stupor.

Lei Zhao ruffled his wife's hair, and placed more dumplings on her plate.
