287 Well think of a way (2/2)
Xin Yong pushed the duvet off her body and sat upright.
''I didn't know when I slept off; let me go bath, just wait a second. ''
Xin Yong said, standing up from the bed;
By the time Xin Yong stepped out of the bathroom, Liling had finished arranging the room.
''O my bestie. How much I love you. ''
She said, smiling sheepishly.
''Stop flattering! ''
They laughed. After some seconds of silence, Liling asked what had been in her mind ever since;
''Did you break up with Jin Yue/? ''
Xin Yong froze for a few seconds.
''Broke up? Were we together? I just clarified things between us, that's all! ''
She forced through her teeth, keeping her gaze on the cream as she poured it onto her hand.
''Are you okay? ''
Liling asked, staring intently at her face. She could see that she was trying hard not to look affected by what had just happened.
''Yeah, I'm okay. Why are you asking, don't I look okay?''
Xin Yong forced a chuckle.
Liling stayed quiet for some time;
''Alright, hurry up let's go. It's already quite late. ''
She didn't want to press on. Doing that would make matters worse.
…
After shopping to their fill, Xin Yong opted that they go to a bar.
Liling wasn't in a mood for alcohol, but she understood how Xin Yong must be feeling at the moment, so she followed her.
After drinking for a while; Xin Yong became a bit drunk.
After a few more minutes, she started crying.
It started as little sobs and Liling thought she was joking until it turned into a full blown wail;
''Xin Yong, are you okay? What is wrong? Why are you crying? ''
''I miss him. I miss him so much but I can't be with him. I can't …''
She sobbed sadly, clutching her chest; ''It hurt … it hurt so much that I want to hug him but I can't. I want him back but I can't bear being hurt again! ''
Liling felt her heart squeeze as she watched her friend sadly.
''It is okay. We'll think of a way. ''
''Which way, there is no way. I've ended it. It's over now. ''
She cried sadly, raising her glass to down another drink but Liling took it away from her.
''Stop now, okay, stop drinking. ''
Xin Yong couldn't even fight back; she just fell back on the table and dozed off.
''Xin Yong? Are you sleeping? Wake up! …''
At that moment, she regretted ever agreeing to come to the bar. How was she going to carry her back home? !!
After shaking her up for a while to no avail, Liling took out her phone to dial a number. She tapped on Liu Wei's contact and stared for a moment, after a few seconds, she changed her mind and called Jin Yue.
After a few rings, he picked up.
