Chapter 271 - Bleeding Heart (1/2)

When Xin Xiamu came out to meet Li Qiao, he'd have never even thought that his life would take this strange turn. Even when his head screamed that Yu Kim didn't love him like that, he still wanted to fight with those thoughts. Now, his heart was wavering.

Seeing Li Qiao here was not a coincidence at all. He'd asked his aunt to confirm about Li Qiao's location before he drove to here. It was his misfortune that the moment he was going to go up to him, he heard the words he wasn't supposed to.

His thoughts were distorted while he felt dizzy. He took deep breaths to calm himself but it didn't work. He drove around the city aimlessly. From the morning till the sunset, he kept wandering around and when he parked the car, Xin Xiamu realized he was under Yu Kim's condominium building.

Closing his eyes briefly, he mustered up his courage and went up to the 8th floor. Ringing the doorbell, he waited patiently.

The door was pulled open to reveal Yu Kim's small figure wearing an oversized sweatshirt along with shorts. "Xiamu! What brought you here?" She was pleasantly surprised by his sudden visit and seeing the sullen look on his face, she felt strange. "Is everything okay?"

Yu Kim gave him a way to enter and he walked inside the apartment with a heavy heart. "Yeah! Everything is okay. I just wanted to see you. Is there something wrong with wanting to meet my best friend at this time?"

Yu Kim smiled at him and replied, "Obviously not! I just never saw that serious expression on your face. So, it kinda scared me a bit."

Xin Xiamu tried to pass a smile but it came out rather stiff. He sat down on the couch while Yu Kim brought some water for him and sat opposite him with her laptop in her lap. Clearly, she was busy but Xin Xiamu wasn't planning on disturbing her work. He sat there silently observing her expressions.

"Kimmi, do you know what Qiao Ge's allergic to?" Xin Xiamu decided to go roundabout since he didn't have the courage to ask straightforwardly.

"Hmm..." She didn't lift her eyes from the laptop screen and answered, "He's not allergic to anything as such but he has some grudge against peanuts."

"Do you remember what I'm allergic to?" He asked again and secretly hoped that she did but he wasn't very lucky today.

"Mmmm... I can't seem to recall." She kept scratching her head trying to remember but to no avail.
