Chapter 36 - I’m Dying (1/2)

The next morning, Han Yue Xiu was not surprised to see the amount of missed calls and messages from her boss. Last night, she had switched off her phone to avoid her boss, and later, when Li Qin Yao came, Han Yue Xiu had forgotten to switch her switch on her phone.

Han Yue Xiu clicked on the unread message and sneered. In the beginning, the messages were asking why she did not pick up her phone. Later, Han Yue Xiu could detect the impatient and anger in her boss' tone.

However, after a few minutes, his tone softened, and he started to coax her to send a word back to him. Her boss's last work was a warning that she should prepare herself with an acceptable excuse as she comes to work in the morning.

Reading the countless messages on her WeChat, Han Yue Xiu started to debate with herself whether she should show up to work or not. In the end, Han Yue Xiu decided to show up. She should face the consequences of her actions. Worst comes to worst; she would probably lose this job.

Although Han Yue Xiu enjoyed her work and felt that her colleagues were friendly, Han Yue Xiu thought that her boss was an eccentric who enjoyed torturing her with work and overtime. Although there were countless times that she had thought of quitting, in the end, Han Yue Xiu decided to stay because of the perks given by the company.

Han Yue Xiu stepped out of her room once she had cleaned up and get dressed,

Thinking about her best friend's breakup last night, Han Yue Xiu decided to check on her friend in the guest room. However, Li Qin Yao's silhouette could not be seen.

Han Yue Xiu looked around as she called ”Yao Yao!”

”Yue Xiu,” Li Qin Yao's voice came out as a whisper.

Han Yue Xiu followed the voice and found her friend sprawled on the sofa with her hair covering most of her face. Fortunately, it was daytime, or else, Han Yue Xiu might mistake her best friend as a ghost.

”What's wrong with you? Why are you sleeping on the sofa?”

”Yue Xiu,” Li Qin Yao whispered. ”I'm dying.”

”You're going through a breakup. You're not dying,” Han Yue Xiu felt the corner of her mouth started to twitch. She crouched down and helped to tidy up Li Qin Yao's hair. It was then that she noticed how her friend had tears in her eyes.

”Yue Xiu,” Li Qin Yao curled herself into a ball and cried. ”It's painful.”

”You're going to be okay,” Han Yue Xiu tried to coax. ”Yao Yao, I promise you that you will meet someone better than Chen Hao. Maybe you have already met this guy but missed the chance because you were dating Chen Hao previously. Maybe you will meet him when you walk out the door today. When God closes a door, He opens a window. Things will only get better for you.”

Han Yue Xiu continued to speak a few more words that she thought were suitable for her friend. As someone who had never got herself into a relationship, Han Yue Xiu found that she was helpless to try and persuade someone who was going through a breakup. Perhaps she should look over the internet later for some tips.

Suddenly, Li Qin Yao let out a painful groan, followed by a sob.

”Yao Yao! What happened to you?” Han Yue Xiu looked at her friend and panicked.

She knew that a breakup could be painful, but Han Yue Xiu did not realize that it was going to be that painful!
