Chapter 206 - Win Or Lose (2/2)

"It's a good thing that Zelie bothered to call me otherwise, a certain someone doesn't even feel necessary to tell me anything at all." He Jian said with a hurt look.

Xu Mey felt guilty and didn't know what to say. All of a sudden, she decided to change her tactic. She paced up to He Jian and tugged at his sleeve swinging it from side to side. "Jian-Ge..." She blinked her eyes and puckered her lips adorably. "I was really gonna tell you. But I thought it'd be better to tell you only when necessary."

The way her demeanor took a 180-degree turn, Azalea was dumbfounded. On the other side, He Jian's anger had deflated like a balloon. He patted Xu Mey's head and said, "Xiao Mey, you know that I really don't care about your decisions in life as long as they don't end up hurting you. Tonight, you could've ended up at the police station if I didn't have interfered."

"Humph! Who dares to take me to the police station when I have my Jian-Ge to protect me?" Xu Mey said proudly making He Jian smile. He shook his head and looked at the time.

It was already 5 in the morning. "I should leave now. Both of you take care of yourselves." With that, He Jian left the house.

Behind him, Azalea stared at Xu Mey and couldn't stop herself from clapping. Xu Mey frowned and turned to look at Azalea.

"You really are amazing, sis!" She remarked with an admiring look in her eyes.

Xu Mey coughed a bit questioning, "What do you mean?"

"You not only have a way with words. You also have a way with people. Can you tell me how you learned it?"

Xu Mey stared at Azalea for a moment longer and her lips curled upwards faintly. "My Sensei used to say, 'To deal with life or people you always have to remember two things. When it comes to life and people, always think of winning. But in the case of people who love you, always focus on losing. Because sometimes, we have to lose and that's how we win.'"

Azalea was perplexed. "I don't get it." She commented.

Xu Mey smiled at her and ruffled her hair. "Life and people like to push us down and expect us to lose. But we need to rise and win this battle with life. As for the people who love us, it's not so wrong to lose once in a while. It shows that you cared enough."

"I can only say that your logics are mostly like Jie-Ge's friend. Complicated!" With that said, Azalea went upstairs to her room.
