198 In Denial (2/2)
''No, you didn't. It was my phone, we were watching a… a sad movie on my phone, so I was crying…''
Jin Yue hearing her lies nodded immediately.
''Yeah, that's what happened, why else would she cry, you know how emotional your friend can be, right?''
Liling watched them intently. Jin Yue tried to fake a laugh but she was not buying it at all. She looked at the two of them for some time then looked down at the couch.
''So where is the phone?''
Xin Yong and Jin Yue looked at themselves surprisingly as they were not expecting her to ask the question all of a sudden.
Xin Yong looked around, only to realize that her phone was not with her, it was inside her bag which she forgot in the car when she speedily ran into the house.
They were both speechless as they tried to come up with a better lie, but before they could say something, Liling had picked up the remote controller and put the television back on.
''No!!!''

The both of them screamed at the same time but it was too late as Liling had already seen the news headlines.
CHINA AIRLINE AIRBUS FLIGHT 560 CRASHES INTO THE EAST CHINA SEA. 203 DEAD
Jin Yue immediately took the remote controller from her and switched off the television but it was too late. She had already seen it.
The room grew pin drop silent as the television screen went off.
Liling did not move she was still staring at the blank screen, unwaveringly. She was so quiet that Xin Yong and Jin Yue could not tell if she was okay.
They wanted to call her, but they were afraid that something worse might happen, so they stood there staring at her sorrowfully.
Liling was not talking and she was not moving. She was in denial.
No, it was not possible. He could not… no, no, I won't say the word. My Liu Wei cannot leave me, he promised to come back to me and he's coming back to me. I'm sure. He cannot leave me in this world, alone.
Her tears started welling up without her knowing it. Drops of sweat fell from her face as she turned pale slowly.
After about five minutes of standing at a place, Liling blinked her eyes, she turned to walk back upstairs but her legs could not move.
”Liling…''
Xin Yong could not stop herself from calling her this time. She wanted to walk over to her and hug her tightly but she could not.
She imagined what it felt like and she knew that it was not the best thing to do at that moment.
Jin Yue was speechless, he could not speak, he could not comfort. He was still in denial.
No, his friend could not possibly be in that plane. It was not possible. Liu Wei could not die just like that! .
Liling stopped for a few seconds then tried to walk again. She took a few steps then paused.
The next action took Xin Ying and Jin Yue unawares.
''Liling!!!''
