Chapter 287 Yu Miao’s Depression (2/2)
After dinner with Liu Kexin, Yu Miao drove her back to the bottom of her neighborhood. Liu Kexin had just got out of the car when Yu Miao suddenly asked her to wait. He then got out himself and went to Liu Kexin, asking her gently and elegantly, “Can I accompany you home?”
Liu Kexin shook her head slightly and smiled, “You are tired enough. You’d better go home.”
Yu Miao sighed and thought of the Kabe-Don plot of South Korea’s Ouba. Suddenly there was an urgent impulse in his heart. He grabbed Liu Kexin and said softly, “Kexin, since you don’t need me to accompany you back, then let’s say good night here.”
The moment he finished speaking, his mouth went down to kiss Liu Kexin. Liu Kexin struggled in her heart. Kissing was not a rude thing between male and female friends. If she rejected, it would hurt Yu Miao’s self-respect. But if she accepted it, she couldn’t do it whole-heartedly. She didn’t know why. Even though she was with Yu Miao every day, someone else’s image appeared in her mind.
Finally, just when their lips were about to meet, Liu Kexin pushed Yu Miao away and broke away from his arms. Watching Yu Miao’s embarrassment, Liu Kexin apologized, “I’m sorry… I… I can’t accept it now.”
Yu Miao sighed. Although regretful, he was still very understanding, “It doesn’t matter. I will wait for the day when you can accept it. Good night then. Go home and go to bed early. I will pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you, and you don’t need to pick me up in the morning. I don’t feel good about troubling you every day.”
Yu Miao smiled, “It’s not a big deal, and this is my duty.”
Liu Kexin said, “You really don’t have to. I can go on my own.”
Seeing Liu Kexin was adamant, Yu Miao stopped insisting. He asked, “Then I will pick you up for dinner tomorrow night. Is that okay?”
Liu Kexin knew that her refusal would be too hurtful, and it was not polite to keep refusing him, so she nodded and agreed.
Yu Miao was happy again, and said with a smile, “Then go on home. I will stay here and watch till you get to your door.”
Waiting until Liu Kexin disappeared inside the security door, Yu Miao turned and opened the car door, got in and drove away from the community.
After leaving the community, Yu Miao saw a photo under the passenger’s seat. He guessed Liu Kexin must have dropped it. Yu Miao bent down and picked up the photo. He took one glance at it and his expression froze. It was a photo of Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin. When Xiao Bing pretended to be Liu Kexin’s boyfriend, they had a few photos taken. Liu Kexin must’ve secretly developed it and kept it with her every day.
He stared at the photo for a while and thought of Liu Kexin’s indifference when she was with him every day. Every time he wanted to hold her hand, she would always pull it away quietly. When he wanted a Kabe-Don, she pushed him away.
With a bang, his head hit the steering wheel, his heart filled with sorrow. He took a deep breath and put the photo into his pocket, ready to give it back to Liu Kexin tomorrow.
Xiao Bing was sleeping in the house with Yezi. His mobile suddenly rang. Xiao Bing got up and answered it. Yezi asked, “Who is it? What’s will calling so late?”
Yezi’s eyes were alert, and Xiao Bing glanced at the number above, then gave Yezi a look at the message above and smiled, “The young master of the Yu Family.”
“Oh, why is he calling you so late when he should be making long calls to his girlfriend? Are you having an affair with him?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said. “Who knows? Don’t forget that your Brother Bing is liked by both men and women.”
Xiao Bing answered the phone and smiled, “Hey, you call me so late at night. If it is not important, I will hang up. My girlfriend is angry. She suspects me of hooking up with other women… Ouch, don’t pinch me!”
Hearing Xiao Bing’s loving voice on the phone, Yu Miao got even more depressed when he thought of his failure with his girlfriend. He sighed and said, “Brother Bing, drink with me.”
“Drink? This late?” Xiao Bing could tell that he was down, so even though it was already late, he did not refuse. He smiled and said, “Well, tell me the location, and I will be there.”
“Thank you. Hengshan Road, the old side shop barbecue.”
Xiao Bing hung up and started to get out of bed to put on his clothes. Yezi sat up and asked, “You’re going out this late in the night?”
“I don’t know. He invited me for a drink.”
“Could he be disappointed in love?”
Xiao Bing was touched, and a nameless, peculiar feeling rose from within. He smiled and said, “I will know what it is when I go, baby. Don’t wait up for me.”
Yezi was a thoughtful woman and gently agreed, “Well, go early so you can come back early.”
