Chapter 299 - Like Repels (2/2)

''He wanted to see my strength initially but it escalated later,'' Jun Zixuan was unfazed though. Just a few paper cuts.

Mia moved her fingers a bit and a slight glow appeared on Jun Zixuan's face, healing his wound.

Jun Zixuan tilted his face to the side, running the tip of his finger on his jawline as he felt a cooling sensation.

''It has healed,'' Yu Mei said. Powers can be cool at times.

''Thank you but it was not needed,'' Jun Zixuan glanced at Mia.

''Since you helped me conceal my identity, I had to do this...'' Mia smiled.

''Mia, tell me, why were you acting weird around brother?'' Yu Mei was suddenly reminded about the scene from earlier where they were throwing daggers at each other, ''You were acting like he is your...ex-''

'Screech'

''I think I really need some rest...'' Mia stood up from the chair before quickly walking away from the dining table, ''I haven't been taking my afternoon beauty sleep lately. No wonder I feel so exhausted. My poor life~'' She dashed upstairs without looking back.

Yu Mei's mouth parted in disbelief, ''She does not needs sleep or food. Who the heck is she kidding?”

''Tell me what are you worried about,'' Jun Zixuan grabbed her hand.

Yu Mei turned to look at him helplessly, ''Mia has been crushing over my brother for a long time.''

''What's the problem with that? Her identity?” He asked seriously.

''Of course not. Her identity might be complicated but she is her own person and she is Mia to me, no matter what.''

''Then, what's the issue?”

Yu Mei leaned back on the chair as she crossed her legs before pressing her elbow on her knee as she propped her chin on her fist. She contemplated over it for a moment before looking at him, ''My brother is the best brother in this world but he is not a man a woman can settle with. And Mia...'' She paused as she looked in the direction where the woman had disappeared, ''She can be one of the most loyal friends. A perfect woman but then who can settle with a man. They are so alike and even science says that, Like repels.''

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow.

''They are adults and they should know what they are doing but at the end of the day, I don't want to stand in a situation where I have to choose between one of them.''

He stroked her hand, ''You have a point but I think you should stop thinking about it. The more you want something to not happen, the more are the chances that it will be happening. When the time comes, we will see.''

She thought about it for a moment before nodding, ''I agree.''

Jun Zixuan nodded seriously, ''On that note, how about you take off your sweater? I love seeing those marks on you,'' he said unabashedly,

Yu Mei almost choked on air. Did he not feel any shame while saying such things with a poker face?”
