58 Chapter 58- Exposed.... (1/2)
During lunch break, Ya Nuo invited Hen Qing to join her and Huan Hei at a nearby restaurant.
Ya Nuo: ”Hen Qing, didn't you say you were going to transfer schools? What date are you transferring?”
Hen Qing: ”I changed my mind since I am very close to graduating. If I transfer now, it will cause a lot of inconvenience. Why do you ask? I don't think I ever mentioned it to you before.”
Ya Nuo: ”You never mentioned much to me, but you did to Hei. He tells me everything. I thought that if you are going to transfer, then we will treat you to a meal before you leave since you helped me before. We don't want to owe anyone anything.”
Hen Qing: ”Oh. No need for that. I helped you out of kindness so I don't expect getting anything good from it.”
Ya Nuo: ”I see. Well, then this lunch is our thanks to you.”
Hen Qing: ”I only helped you so shouldn't it be your treat? You keep saying 'we' when you talk about me helping you.”
Ya Nuo: ”Hei is my boyfriend so it's only natural that you helping me is also helping him. Besides, if it is you helping me, then shouldn't your apology of what happened at the café be said only to me? It makes me wonder why you'll go the extra mile to let Hei know about it and apologize through him. So my business is his business.”
Huan Hei remained silent because he could feel the weird atmosphere at this table between them. He drank his tea and ordered dishes for them while they talked. He could tell from Ya Nuo's tone that she is making Hen Qing learn her spot as an outsider.
Hen Qing looked at him a few times after Ya Nuo's words, ”Oh? Then thank you for this meal. I see that you two are doing pretty well in your relationship.”
Ya Nuo laughed, ”Of course! Let me tell you, he can't stand being away from me. He texts me or calls me when we don't see each other that day. We are together most of the time and enjoy each other's company. Just like that one time~”
Hen Qing: ”You two are too cute together. If I hear anymore, I'll be full before the dishes come. Let's talk about something else.”
Ya Nuo smiled, ”Oh. Then let's talk about my recent concerns. Hei thinks it is nothing, but I get scared because he got into multiple accidents at and outside of school. He wont listen to me and told me that these are coincidences. What do you think?”
Hen Qing: ”Oh my... I can't believe these things would happen. Then you two need to be more careful when you two are out. He might not be lucky the next time.”
Ya Nuo smirked in an angle where only Huan Hei could see it, 'Hmm? That's not a good sign...'
Ya Nuo continued, ”Yeah, I know. He needs to be more careful or else I'll die young. Aren't these accidents just too weird?” She sharpened her eyes and stared at Hen Qing.
Hen Qing: ”Haha.. well accidents always happen everyday. You might be over thinking. Huan Hei, what do you think?”
Huan Hei smiled, ”Huh? Oh, well it won't hurt to investigate if that is what Nuo wants to do.”
Hen Qing: ”That's not what I asked though. You only said you support her decision, but I'm asking about your opinion on this. Do you think these were accidents? or these were man-made?”
Huan Hei: ”I think they're accidents, but it wont hurt to dig further into it.”
Hen Qing let out a grin, ”If Huan Hei thinks that those were coincidences too, why are you so persistent that these weren't accidents? It's not like these accidents aimed for you. You were there when those happened so you could tell if they're accidents.”
Ya Nuo: ”How could it be an accident if there is oil on the stairs in school?”
Hen Qing: ”Well, people could spill water and not clean it up so it's normal to have wet staircases.”
