380 Well Meet Soon! (1/2)
Ying was yawning as she waited for the food she ordered and for the person she called. She was feeling like a huge burden was off her shoulders knowing that Destiny wasn't Xin Zimen's daughter. So, now even her will to stay awake was waning away. She could just put her head down on the table and sleep peacefully. After all, she was used to sleeping at odd places.
But before she could act upon this certain ridiculous thought, Cali had already taken a seat beside her. ”Where is she? How is she? She must be tall now? And very beautiful with her plump cheeks. She was always so adorable, I want to see her now. Tell me already.”
Cali's excitement had literally no effect on Ying who was moving at her own pace which was like a sloth's pace, to be honest. Was she acting in a slow-motion picture or what?
”Can you tone it down a bit?” said Ying in annoyance. ”My head is hurting. I can't handle your cheeriness at the moment.”
Cali scowled unhappily at her before kicking her on the shin under the table. However, Ying's instinct was stronger and sharper than hers. Cali was used to street fights, Ying was a professional. They both had a huge gap. That's why Ying managed to escape so easily, unscathed.
”It'll take you another lifetime before you can hit me,” challenged Ying making Cali's mouth twist.
”Are you really gonna waste time? I'm dying here from curiosity!”
The server put several dishes before Ying who rubbed her hands eagerly before picking up her chopsticks and digging in. ”Curiosity killed a cat! Let something go in my stomach first. I'm famished.”
Cali didn't say anything. She waisted so long, she certainly could stay a bit patient now, right? Well, it wasn't easy though as she saw Ying relishing in her food. Not being able to help herself, Cali also took that steak from her side and started eating without asking her. Not like Ying cared, she only gave a fleeting glance.
”Before I tell you who she is, or how she is. You need to know two things about your cousin,” began Ying keeping a calm voice. ”First, her name is not Destiny anymore. Second, she has no recollection of her time as Destiny as well.”
”What?” Cali squinted her eyes at Ying.
”Amnesia. She has amnesia. She doesn't even remember you or anything related to you. Heck! She doesn't even remember her own previous self.”
Cali was staring at her with a baffled look. She had expected this scenario once in her head that perhaps, Destiny had lost her memory and that's why she never reach out to her. Why did it come true?
”You know her in person?” Cali voiced her question because the way Ying talked about Destiny showed that she knew her. As in she knew her personally. Not just from the information she had gotten.
Ying nodded her head, ”Yeah! She turned out to be a friend's girlfriend. I can't even tell you how close she was and I'd been looking for her everywhere. It really blew my own mind at this bizarre coincidence.”
