537 Mourning Clothes (1/2)

”Self-healing?” repeated Han Yiheng in an odd way. ”If I didn't call to tell you that your niece is on a date with my nephew, you'd still be buried in work on a Sunday!”

Su Feifei coughed awkwardly. ”Stop exposing me so blatantly!”

”That's what friends are for,” replied Han Yiheng while giving her a sidelong glance.

Seeing their interaction Cali was again reminded of Ying as she told, ”I believe Ying is heavily influenced by her aunt.”

Although her voice was low, Su Feifei heard it clearly. She even smiled at Cali saying, ”Yes, she is. After all, my Yingying spent most of her time around me.”

”No wonder, I see an image of you in hers,” said Cali honestly.

”I agree with that statement,” Francesca also chimed in. Even though she had met Su Feifei only a handful of times but right now even she couldn't help agreeing that Ying seemed to have a strong resemblance with her aunt's personality.

”I'm gonna go order,” Dylan silently stood up and even pulled Cali with him.

Meanwhile, Su Feifei gave her friend a meaningful glance before excusing herself.

Noticing Han Yiheng's gaze on herself, Francesca raised her head and asked, ”Is something wrong?”

He shook his head, ”You... Looks like you haven't aged at all.”

Francesca laughed softly in reply, ”Of course, I aged. I'm even getting grey hair. How can anyone stay young forever? That's just wishful thinking.”

”That's indeed wishful thinking,” he sighed out heavily.

Not liking the silence, she asked, ”So, how have you been?”

”I think I've been doing great,” he replied plainly.

”That's good,” said Francesca and somehow felt weird about the way he talked. Now that she could recall where they had met before, she clearly could remember how friendly and talkative he used to be. In fact, she used to get really annoyed with his chatterbox habits. But now, he looked different.

Then again, she wasn't that shocked since it had been such a long time. Perhaps, over a dozen or so years? Now, he didn't just look mature, he acted mature as well. Even his eyes and face gave off a different vibe than before.

”I didn't really expect you to be acquainted with Su Feifei,” she remarked out of nowhere.

”Do you know Feifei?”

Francesca shook her head, ”Not really but I've heard enough from people around me. She has a reputation.”

Han Yiheng laughed knowingly, ”I assume it's not a good reputation?”

Francesca pressed her lips together not really knowing how to answer but she still said, ”Actually, to elders she is considered a curse because of how rebellious she had been all her life. And to everyone from our generation, she is too carefree. As if she doesn't like taking life seriously. For younger ones, she is an idol!”

”You really know her well,” said Francesca thoughtlessly.
