311 No Sympathy (2/2)

”Ying Jie, when did you come?” Dylan asked as he saw Ying with his mother.

Ying looked at Dylan and said, ”Since you didn't invite me for that dinner, I thought to invite myself to your house.”

”I invited you,” retorted Dylan. He remembered he asked her to come home for dinner but she said she'd come when his dad would come back. And now she was here since his dad was back. She really stayed true to her words.

”Yeah, only once. Later on, you even forgot my existence. Ouch!! That hurts,” the corner of her lips turned downwards slightly while she placed a hand over her chest to show that she was hurt.

”I had no way to contact you,” replied Dylan to clear up his side of the story and he was being honest. He actually met her after years the other day, how would he have a way to contact her? Then he scowled and added, ”Besides, why do you even need an invitation? This is like your own house, come whenever you want to.”

Ying's eyes widened a bit as she heard those words from him. But she wasn't the only one, even the others around her were equally surprised.

”It seems like my son is finally willing to act like an adult,” said Qiu Jiayi and turned to Ying. ”You heard that? You don't need an invitation to come here. I'm also your uncle like Zi, don't always be so biased.”

Xin Zimen frowned at his best friend, ”How is she biased? She doesn't come to my home unless I ask her to. Once upon a time, she was like a sticky glue who didn't even want to leave my home. At that time, I had to push her out. These days, I have to pull her in.”

Ying chuckled at them not knowing what to say. Even though they were all really important to her, she was still not their own. She didn't wish to be a bother to anyone of them. So, how could she just come and go on will?

She shook her head and chose to change the topic as she turned to Dylan saying, ”Oi! I thought you're helping around in the kitchen? Why are you here then?”

”Dazi is here to help his girlfriend,” shrugged Dylan trying to act nonchalant.

Ying laughed at his reaction, ”Why do you look like your single soul is scared?”

Dylan was really surprised to hear that. ”How did you guess that?”

”I know that look very well,” answered Ying and even patted his back saying, ”These PDA couples are the worst. They have no sympathy for poor people like us.”

”Are you both bonding over your single souls?” questioned Zhao Wei with a chuckle.

Ying and Dylan shared a look before silently nodding.
