265 Drama Queen (2/2)
”Yes, I was improving physically but there was no memory jogging. Yu Yuohan is my guardian angel, he was always there when I got upset and kept the boring me, company, then this day I heard something in the news and bippiti-bappiti-boo! I fainted and then woke up to be back to the ole genius me!
They both shared a knowing look. So it looked like the girl was officially Team Yu Youhan while they were the loyal battalion of Team Li Yuan.
But… there was scope here. If the girl wasn't delusional or a fabricating liar then Yu Yuohan sure was pinning for more than bear hugs and cheeks-kisses.
Lei Xinyi uncrossed her legs and then re-crossed them, this time with the right leg over the leg one. She subtly touched her earlobe and gave Su Qing a smirk. She smirked back with a subtle nod, getting the signal.
In a very understated, restrained way she switched on her phone, pretended to text and turned the recorder on, and casually kept the phone on the table
The gullible girl went on with her rant, ”I was happy, nervous, and wrecked and then decided I wanted a rather new life so I wanted to move out. I had drawn this good painting of him as a souvenir but he flipped and told me…”
She looked at the closed door then motioned Lei Xinyi and Su Qing to come closer by arching her finger. She whispered in a conspiratorial whisper, ”He told me he like me…like in 'like' like way!”
Lei Xinyi dramatically gasped and gave her an astonished look, ”Oh! What did you do then?”
Lu Xinyi sighed and vividly hunched her shoulder, ”I called him out on his bad behavior, and instead of trying to improvise his approach he flipped once more!”
Su Qing tsked in a consoling manner and raised a brow at her, ”So…You don't like him? Isn't he handsome, wealthy and gets you sw…cares about you?”
She gasped and revolted back at the verbal blow as if too offensive even to be voiced and turned cherry red but tried to frown to hide her embarrassment, ”It's incest! He is my ex-fiancé's cousin! What will everyone say?!”
It was by far no incest! The girl was sure a product of conceited nut-jobs of society! He was no relative of her, nor by blood nor by any other means!
Su Qing and Lei Xinyi both shared cunning smirks. This can be the most interesting hoax of the century if they can trick this missy to jump on the broody bastard Yu Youhan.
With a perfect graphed plan, they give each other nods and acted unbothered. Lei Xinyi turned to her and feign to observe the girl for seconds.
Lei Xinyi then gave her a bored look then sipped her drink before she placed it on the table and fully turning to her, ”You want to be an independent, head-strong woman, right?”
Lu Xinyi's hand froze for a sec and she looked at Lei Xinyi in wonderment. Yes, she wanted to be the poster woman for the woman-empowerment but she never had confidence enough to voice her deepest desire.
She didn't want it, she needed it. Most days she would even feel awkward in her own skin. She wasn't an introvert but she was socially awkward because she was never able or allowed to mingle with people.
Staying indoors suffocated her but being in an unfamiliar environment did more damage. When she had barge out of Yu Youhan's house she had the rest of her life figured out but nothing was as simple. She was still a loner. Stil she would be one with things left to say and opinions kept to herself.
She was free yet more shackled than ever. When she had decided to leave her comfort zone, she was expecting all rainbows and blooms not knowing the sky that holds the sun rays also carries the rage of storms.
