Chapter 124: Overwhelmed (2/2)

I wasn’t sure how long I’ve walked for or where I have gone. But by the time I snapped back to reality, I realized I didn’t have a single spot to take a rest.

“Yixin, it’s really you?”

Someone was calling my name. I was currently sitting on the side of the road as I looked up. Shen Shaoqian’s flashy car was in front of me.

“Why are you out here by yourself? Get on!?”

“I came out for a breath of fresh air. Don’t mind me.” I decided to ignore him and got up to walk away.

Shen Shaoqian got off his car and blocked me. He acted like a gentleman, “It’s too late! How could I allow you to walk alone by yourself?! I’ll take you home.”

I flung Shen Shaoqian’s arm away and frowned, “No! You go do whatever you were doing. I want to be alone.”

After I made that statement, I realized I was a bit rude. So, I quickly added, “I’m not in a good mood right now. I’m not purposely trying to give you attitude. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Just go.”

“No! Get on the car. We can chat about it while we’re inside, okay?” Shen Shaoqian blocked me with his arms spread apart. “I won’t give up until you get on.”

Seeing how persistent he was, I decided to listen to him. Most likely, Suyang called Shen Shaoqian and told him to keep an eye out for me. We kind of owe him for always being there.

The car began to move. I didn’t ask where we were going as I leaned against the seat to rest. Perhaps we were too silent, so Shen Shaoqian asked, “Did you and Suyang have a fight?”

“No need to be so indirect about it. Suyang probably already told you, right?” I stared at the outside scenery. Shen Shaoqian was driving really slowly. I opened the window and stuck my head out to feel the cool breeze. My heart was in chaos right now.

“Although we’re close, he doesn’t tell me everything, you know?”

“Then why are you here?” Shen Shaoqian wasn’t driving towards the direction of the apartment, so I felt better.

“Me? I was going to come find you and Suyang to discuss about what to do this Christmas. It’ll be Christmas in a month. We had so much fun in Japan, so I was wondering if you guys wanted to go on another trip. Perhaps we can go skiing in Switzerland.”

“I’m so curious. Don’t you ever have to work?! You’re always playing and goofing around.”

“I’m a rich second generation! Plus, I have my own company. Obviously, I can do as I please.” Shen Shaoqian proudly bragged.

“Then go wherever you want. I’m not going to join you….”

“Why not? You don’t want to go to Switzerland? Then pick something else. For example….” Shen Shaoqian began to chatter nonstop. I guess he really wanted to go on a trip again.

Suddenly, I was curious, “When did you and Suyang meet?”

“We met when we were children. We grew up together. Why are you asking?”

That means…. “So do you know what happened to Suyang during his time in Japan?”

The car suddenly came to an emergency stop. I looked up and noticed that there was only a 10 cm difference between our car and the car in front of us. We almost crashed.

Shen Shaoqian was shocked but quickly recovered and continued forward. “I was so focused on our conversation, we almost crashed! Umm. When Suyang was in Japan, we weren’t together. I was in China, so I don’t know what happened to him. But when he returned with his grandmother, I found out his parents died in Japan.”

I frowned, “Why didn’t Suyang mention it to me before? I feel terrible. Suyang had such a painful time in Japan yet we went there for vacation…”

“Don’t make things up in your head! It happened so long ago! Suyang isn’t the type to hold grudges.” Shen Shaoqian replied.

Really? But Shen Shaoqian wasn’t even there. So, there was no point in telling him about what happened. Furthermore, his tone didn’t sound that confident.

“So why were you two arguing?”

“Arguing? When did I say we were arguing?” Did it count as an argument? I wasn’t sure.

“Why else would you be wandering on the streets so late at night?”
