Chapter 82 - Mixed Messages (1/2)
”Yao Yao…”
Li Qin Yao immediately sensed that it won't be a peaceful night when she heard the way Han Yue Xiu calling her name. She locked the door behind her and met her friend's strange gaze when she turned around. Li Qin Yao subconsciously stepped back until her back touched the door behind her. ”Yue Xiu, what's wrong with you?”
Han Yue Xiu chuckled. She wanted to walk over to her friend so that she can coax an honest confession from her friend, but with his sprained leg, it was hard for her to stand up. Thus, Han Yue Xiu could only crook her hands and motioned Li Qin Yao to come closer. ”Come here. Sit.” She patted on the sofa.
”What are you trying to do?”
”What can I do with this injury on my body?” Han Yue Xiu rolled her eyes. ”Come. Let's talk.”
In the end, Li Qin Yao could only walk over to Han Yue Xiu and sit down. But of course, she picked an empty seat away from her friend.
”Yao Yao…”
Hearing the way Han Yue Xiu called out her name sweetly like that, Li Qin Yao rubbed her arms. ”Stop calling my name like that. You're creeping me out.”
”You,” Han Yue Xiu pointed her finger as if to reprimanded her friend. ”Why don't you tell me what is going on with you and Mister Zhang?”
”What is going on with me and Mister Zhang? Didn't I tell you that we met at the entrance of the restaurant and he happened to heard bits of our conversation? That was why he offered to drive me to the hospital to find you.”
”I would believe you if he only drives you to the hospital. But then, he also drive us to the police station and helped with filing the report procedure. And that's not all. He even bought us dinner.”
”Why are you asking me? He's helping you.”
Han Yue Xiu clicked her tongue and waggled her fingers. ”No. No. No. I'll tell you what I think. I think Mister Zhang was helping me because he was trying to get to you by being nice to me. I think he likes you. Or else, he would not trouble himself to this extend to help me. Anyway, if that was what he's trying to do, I have to say that he has my approval.”
Li Qin Yao tilted her head down as she thought about Zhang Yu Han. That man had helped her and her friend a lot that night. From the way he helped them, Li Qin Yao could see that Zhang Yu Han is an attentive man.
It was not as if she was a total idiot when it comes to relationship matters. There were a few times that Li Qin Yao had thought that perhaps, Zhang Yu Han was trying to court her. However, that man always sent her mixed messages.
Though he would sometimes show signs as if he was interested in her, there were also times that he was trying to keep his distance towards her. In the end, Li Qin Yao had chosen to stop thinking too much, or she might someday embarrass herself.
”He helped you once and suddenly he have your approval?” Li Qin Yao chuckled. ”Yue Xiu, do you think it is really easy to date me?”
