574 To Aim High! (1/2)

Ying had taken her spot at the windowsill with her rose cakes and milk tea. Not even for a minute did she stop eating just like how she never stopped looking in the direction of Zizi and his brother. From her angle, she could clearly see them sitting in silence as they sipped on tea. While Zizi was busy not paying his brother any attention, his brother's eyes were stuck on Zizi's face.

While one brother's face was expressionless, the other's held a gentle expression. They looked so similar and yet so different. It was equally hard and easy to believe that these two were brothers.

Somehow, even from her position, Ying felt awkward for those two who were sitting so close and yet were not saying anything to each other. She couldn't even imagine how they were feeling. Was this the feeling of being so close and having hearts far apart? Tsk. Tsk. She didn't find it amusing at all.

”Ying Jie, what are you doing?”

”Feeling very anxious,” replied Ying in a daze. ”The silent tension between them is so thick that even I'm getting affected from here. I really wonder why your uncle came today.”

”I think uncle only came to check up on dad.” Ah-Si didn't think much about his uncle's visit since he had been here yesterday as well when his father was unconscious. Seeing how Ying's face was getting pale from anxiousness, he patted her shoulder saying, ”Relax! Dad is in a good mood today. I don't think he'd have an argument with uncle.”

”Good mood?” repeated Ying and snorted, ”As if that can stop him from doing whatever he wants.”

Bzzzz...

Ying distractedly picked up her call, ”What? Who is it?”

”Why is it that as soon as I'm out of your vision, I become a non-existing person to you?” came a very hurt voice. ”Is it like... Out of sight, out of mind? Aiyo...” Han Bohai sighed sadly as he added, ”I'm hurt now.”

”When are you not hurt? Anyway, what do you want?” Ying got straight to point as she stretched her legs on the windowsill while leaning her back on the wall.

”Why? Can't I just call to ask how is my girlfriend?” came a prompt reply.

”We practically met just five hours ago. How can anything go wrong with me in those five hours?”

”Anything that can possibly go wrong will eventually go wrong in the blink of an eye without you or I realize it. How can five hours be short when I feel like it's been five decades since I last saw you.”

”Eee... Can you stop with those crappy dialogues? It's giving me goosebumps all over.”

Han Bohai chuckled at the response that he had been expecting from her. He was waiting for her to say something and when she didn't he went on, ”Don't you have something to ask me?”

”No, not really...” was Ying's offhanded reply.

”Oh.” Han Bohai felt disappointed but wasn't surprised by that response.

”I already landed,” replied Han Bohai feeling so sweet inside. She finally asked.

”That's good. Did you have a safe journey?”

Now, Han Bohai felt like pink bubbles were floating in the air as not only sweetness but a warmth spread within him as well. ”Yes. I arrived safely.” He bit his bottom lip before adding, ”Thanks for your concern.”

Ying waved her hand even though he couldn't see it as she answered, ”No need to mention that. As your girlfriend shouldn't I be concerned about my boyfriend?”

Han Bohai almost fell off his chair meanwhile Ah-Si who had been sitting beside Ying actually fell down on his buttock. Not because of how surprised he was to hear something like that from Ying but because he dared to laugh at Ying's words and that earned him a kick from his Ying Jie. However, not learning his lesson at all, he still dared to laugh out loud.

”What is that sound?” inquired Han Bohai after he managed to calm down his 'Ba-dum! Ba-dum!' heart a little.

Ying glared at Ah-Si as she replied, ”Nothing, it's a silly cat who can't mind his own business.”
