Chapter 16 - If You Behave, We Can Be Friends (1/2)
Sighing to herself, Yu Mei tightened the bathrobe around her body before walking towards the bed. Taking out her laptop, she typed 'Han Jian Yu' and entered search but there was the same old news, it has many days since her death yet there was no new update about him. How could it be possible? Did he not attend any activities recently?
Frustrated, she pushed the laptop away and slumped back on the bed.
Rebirth…Something like that sounds unbelievable no matter how she heard it.
Suddenly, there were hurried knocks on the door.
Yu Mei frowned. Who would come to disturb her at this hour? Ever since she started exercising, she has been avoiding those maids so that they would not affect her positive mental health. She even started having her meals in the bedroom.
The knocks were louder this time when she did not make any movements.
Yu Mei pursed her lips before propping her body on both her elbows first, then she tightened her legs and finally she pushed her upper body so that she was sitting on the bed without bouncing back. This was the most effective solution she came up with after considering her rice ball figure.
After getting out of the bed, she walked towards the door.
'Click.'
As soon as the door was unlocked, the person outside pushed it open. And before it could bump on her face, she retreated a few steps back only to have her feet entangled with the plush carpet.
She closed her instinctively and braced herself to take the ugly fall but the expected pain did not come. She felt a warm arm wrapping around her waist while a palm supported the back of her head.
She let out a sigh of relief, ”Thank….”
Before she could finish her words of gratitude, the person who was supporting her body in his arms staggered and both of them ended up falling on the bed.
”Ah…” She shouted with
Jun Zixuan propped himself on his hands as he glared at the woman under him. ”Y-You are a ji..nx…” he muttered somewhat incoherently.
Yu Mei opened her eyes as she looked at the man blankly. His face was flushed and his gaze wasn't steady. ”Are you drunk?” She asked, concerned.
No matter how bad he was for his wife, for Han Mei, he has always been a good friend since their university days. In those days….he was like a ray of sunshine in her bleak life.
He blinked, ”I…am not.”
”And pigs fly,” she rolled her eyes, ”Can you get off me first? I'll ask the servant to get some medicines first.”
