Chapter 143 - 141. Confrontation I (2/2)

Meiyun: ” Everything is good?”

Qiyi: ” En.”

Meiyun: ” Oohh~ That's good to hear.”

Meiyun awkwardly replied.

Meiyun: ” Th-then I will go if there is nothing important. It's my bad to call you out like that.”

Meiyun swiftly turned around and walked away with quick steps but Qiyi grabbed her arm before she could take another step.

Meiyun: ” I-is there something that you want to say?”

Qiyi: ” Wha- Don't you have something to say to me?”

Meiyun: ” What? Why?”

Qiyi: ” I mean, like….”

Qiyi: ' Like you miss me.”

Meiyun: ” Like what?”

Qiyi: ” No, nothing. Forget what I said.”

Meiyun thought that it would be rude of her if she just walked away like that after seeing how disappointed Qiyi's face was.

Meiyun: ” So, why are you here instead of watching over His Majesty.”

Qiyi couldn't gave her an immediate answer. He couldn't just say that he purposely followed her because he 'kinda' miss her loud laughter and jokes. 2 minutes passed by, yet, Qiyi hasn't reply to her.

Meiyun: ” It's fine if you can't tell me.”

Meiyun: ' Bet it is somekind of mission, or maybe to keep an eye on me because I know their master's secret. Meh.'

Qiyi: ” N-no, I have something to tell you.”

Meiyun: ” Hm? What is it?”

Meiyun asked with eyes full of curiosity.

Qiyi: ” Don't be too close to that General Di of Dong Fang.”

Meiyun knitted her brows in displease.

Meiyun: ” Why do you say so?”

Qiyi: ” I had heard a few hearsay that he was not as good as he looked like.”

Meiyun clenched her hands into fists under her sleeve.

Meiyun: ” I know him, he is a good guy.”

Qiyi: ” But you don't know if he was only faking it. There are so many-”

Meiyun: ” Rumors? Heh, I didn't know that the most elite warrior that stayed by His Majesty's side is believing the rumors.”

Meiyun's eyes turned icy cold. Qiyi gritted his teeth as anger started to boil in his heart. He didn't expect that Meiyun would defend Di Shang, he thought that she liked him.

Meiyun: ” Did your teacher not teach you to not believe in rumors? We, the eyes and ears of our master, should not believe in rumors or gossips. We had to investigate the facts.”

Meiyun bravely took a step forward and stared at Qiyi with her eyes wide open. But Qiyi didn't back down, he straighten his back and firmly replied to Meiyun.

Qiyi: ” Sometimes rumor can be the truth.”

They stared at each other without any intention of backing away. Even though Meiyun was upset with Qiyi for talking bad about Di Shang, she still had some feelings lingering deep down in her heart. Didn't want to fight with him at the day they met after a long time, she sighed tiredly and broke their staring competition.

Meiyun: ” Fine fine fine, I don't want to fight with you. I didn't know why you are so upset about that. Btw, why do you even care?”

Irked by Meiyun's words, Qiyi unconsciously gripped her arm tighter than he intentioned.

Meiyun: ” OI! It hurts! Why are you acting so strange today?”

Meiyun's yelp slapped him out of his daze.

Qiyi: ” I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.”

Qiyi apologized to her in a small voice. Despite her arm was throbbing non-stop, she didn't even try to ease the pain on her arm. Rather, her heart hurts much more. Her face was facing downward so Qiyi couldn't see her expression.

Guilt started to built up in his heart

Qiyi: ” Me-Meiyu-”

Meiyun: ” I'm not angry or what but if you are in bad mood, don't vent your anger on me. I'm not your sandbag, I have feelings too.”
