Chapter 85 - Internee (1/2)

Lei Xing skeptically looked at Tung Mei's smiling face.

{...She's definitely a weird one...Oh well, not my problem...}

”You were telling me about how we met.”

”Ah yes, so it was a beautiful day in a garden, on the road somewhere. We were both having a relaxing day, separately. When a rogue suddenly approached and started bullying me...” Then she frowned and said through gritted teeth, ”...treating me like some stupid pet...”

Then smiled, ”And you, Xing jie protected me from the claws of that despicable rogue and since then you have been my Xing jie.” Tung Mei finished flashing a bright smile at Lei Xing.

Lei Xing knit her brows, ”Is that all?”

”Well~ After that we had lots of fun and many adventures, which I happily gloated about to that despicable rogue. It was a lot of fun~” Tung Mei finished, snickering.

Lei Xing raised an eyebrow, ”You know the rogue who assaulted you?”

”Regrettably.” Tung Mei responded with a pout and then fisted her hands and continued through gritted teeth, ”He is a bully. He even kicked an adorable little baby like me into a forest simply because ”I was in his way”. Since then I have loathed him...”

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and then perked up, ”But that's how I met my Yong ge so I let that one slide. It was really romantic, as I soared through the air towards potential agony, I suddenly found myself in Yong ge's arms, he caught me~” She finished with a giggle.

Lei Xing frowned, ”I thought you met him a few weeks ago?”

Tung Mei blinked, ”Oh, that's right. He saved my purse on the street. That's how we met.”

Lei Xing looked at her skeptically, ”So you just made all that up?”

Tung Mei nervously laughed, ”Hehe~ I recently got into an accident so my memory is a bit scattered these days.”

Lei Xing narrowed her eyes, ”I just said that.”

Tung Mei scratched her head and mumbled under her breath, ”Oh you did. It's a good one.”

Lei Xing raised her eyebrows, ”What did you just say?”

”I said maybe we can share~”

Lei Xing's frowned, ”Since you're in the mood to mess around then I'll leave you to yourself.” Lei Xing went to get up.

Tung Mei grabbed Lei Xing's arm from across the table, ”Xing jie don't me angry. I was just joking about the Yong ge part. I got carried away, I'm sorry~” She apologized looking at Lei Xing with beseeching eyes.

Lei Xing looked at her skeptically and then settled back down, ”So I saved you from some rogue?”

”Yes!” Tung Mei nodded.

”So where was I going when I happened to have saved you?”

{...Outlandish but okay...at least she's talking...}

”Nowhere, you didn't have a destination. You were bored of the capital and so went out to have some fun, I also left home with a similar purpose and once we started talking, we decided to go have fun together!”

”So where did we go?”

”Nowhere in particular. We just roamed around aimlessly.”

”Alone?”

”For the most part...”

Lei Xing pursed her lips.

{...Is that really all? I expected more from this...Unless she's lying, a stone-faced liar -_-)...}

”So how is life in the palace? You seem stres-”

{...*Xiao Ying!...]

Tung Mei suddenly stopped and frowned. Then she bent over and looked under the table. Then she scanned the room and then crawled to the window and peeked her head out sneakily like a thief.

Lei Xing observed her actions with knit eyebrows.

{...What is she doing now? Is she on the run or something?... She's so sketchy. I really can't buy they weren't doing something criminal together given ”my” track record and her current oddities -_-)...}

”What is wrong?” Lei Xing asked.

Tung Mei turned and smiled at her, ”Nothing, just the wind.” Then she settled back down, and shoved the bracelet to the floor with a chopstick, ”So how i-”

{...*You be-...thi-..I wil-...-nd..!...}

Tung Mei stopped again then stood up, scanned the room again with a frown while scratching her head.

Lei Xing became a bit concerned, ”Are you okay?”

{...*I me-...hur-...-me...will pay...-u!...}

”Xing jie, we'll talk later!” Tung Mei suddenly shouted as she dashed out of the room.

Lei Xing sat there looking at the door with a confused frown, then she sighed. As she got up to leave, she spotted Tung Mei's bracelet on the floor and so picked it up with the aim to return it.

{...*I mean it! You better not get into any trouble or I'll, I'll...You'll see!!!...}
