543 A Villain In Someones Story (1/2)

After the phone call, Ying's mood was even more complicated. Today's Qiu Meihui didn't call to hurl insults at her face. Even her temperament was different. It really took Ying by surprise because it must be the first time she heard such a calm voice of Qiu Meihui. She had no trepidations but she was really interested in learning about the reason behind this sudden invitation. Why would Qiu Meihui want to meet her out of nowhere?

As Ying had said, they had nothing to reminisce about. The past they shared was already filled with only bitterness. It'd really do no good to any of them.

Shaking her head, she turned her head and flinched in surprise. How did she forget that Han Bohai had been in her apartment all the while? With his face supported on the heel of his hand, he was constantly staring at the side of her face. With the sun setting in the background, it gave a surreal halation effect making him appear as a beautiful portrait.

There was no doubt that he was already handsome. But Ying found this silent version of his to be even more pleasing to the eyes. However, his silence was dangerous because she really didn't realize he was here and she had been lost in her own world for hours. The sun had already said its goodbye to the earth allowing the moon to make its way.

”Do you have something to say?” He shook his head in reply. ”Then why are you looking at me?” As he opened his mouth, she interrupted, ”And don't say it's because I'm beautiful. You don't need to flirt anymore.”

”First of all, I never complimented you to flirt with you. That's all the words straight from my sincere heart. Please, don't doubt it.” Ying's brows wrinkled slightly but she didn't say anything to allow him to continue. ”Secondly, I don't have anything to say but I do want to ask something.” He hesitated before adding, ”But I'm afraid I'd be stepping into your personal space if I asked my question.”

Ying was baffled as she said, ”So, you do know that I have personal space? Then how come from our first meeting, you had been stepping into that space without permission?”

”I was invading the physical space, that's different. My question might end up touching the emotional space that can hurt you.”

”If you think it might hurt me, don't ask.” This was Ying's straightforward reply.

Han Bohai bit his bottom lip and hesitated before saying, ”But if I didn't ask, I might not be able to sleep. It's not that I'm trying to be nosy. It's just that my sister used to say if something makes you restless, solve it before it makes your wounds relentless.”

Ying exhaled a sigh and leaned back in her seat. Finding a comfortable position, she spoke again, ”Then ask away already.”

Ying closed her eyes and smirked, ”Protagonist is my best friend, Xin Xiaoli.” He acknowledged with a nod of his head and anticipated for her to continue. ”And Protoanist's Lover is my best friend's would-be wife, Qiu Meihui. They are getting married next weekend.”

”Wait! Actually I didn't want to know the identity of those people. I mean I don't even know them in person. What I'm curious about is... Why did you save their contacts like this? It's a very unique way.”
