45 PLEASE LEAVE (2/2)
Zhong Feng could more or less guess the thoughts that were floating through his sister's mind. However, he did not sympathise because they were her assumptions. He had tried in vain to dispel her guilt feelings towards him when he was younger. Nothing he said seemed to make a difference to her. If anything, she seemed to fall deeper into a pit she had dug for herself.
”Please leave, Mian. As you can see, I am fine.” He said with a sigh.
”If I do not protect you, no one will. Shameless women are always trying to cling to you, and this one even went as far as drugging you. Your health…”
Zhong Feng cut her off immediately.
”Zhong Mian, you do not need to concern yourself with my matters. It is already quite late.”
He walked to the door and opened it, indicating for her to leave. She looked at him with a mixture of emotions, hesitating to walk out. However, she had no choice because she could see that he was losing his patient.
”Will you come to the old residence this weekend? Mum is already missing you.” She turned and asked after stepping out of the house.
”I will talk to her.” He responded.
The deflated Mian could only leave after that without accomplishing her purpose of tearing up that Hu Lei. However, even as she left, she did not give up on her mission. She would not allow her brother to suffer under the hands of that woman.
When Zhong Feng returned to the bedroom, he found Hu Lei seated on the edge of the bed ready to go. He could not help feeling annoyed at the interruption which had broken their peace. If his sister had not come in, perhaps she would have remained by his side for the rest of the night.
”I seem to have caused trouble.” She said in a wry tone.
Zhong Feng did not like seeing her like that. Her dejected appearance seemed to prick his heart. However, he did not want to talk about this matter.
”Shouldn't you compensate me for all your mischief?” he asked in a suggestive tone.
The thin-skinned Hu Lei blushed deeply at the implication.
”I am going back. Men and women should keep their distance.” She spoke while standing up to leave.
Zhong Feng felt much better, seeing her like this. He even had the decency not to mention that she was the one who did not know the distance between men and women. Who had been sleeping so comfortably on his bed?
