146 Take Responsibility (1/2)

Hui Yin's seat mate had always weirded her out.

During their first class in the morning, he was asleep.

On their last class in the afternoon, he was asleep.

If he was that fond of sleeping, why did he even bother to get out of his mother's womb?

Hui Yin felt like this was one of her life's most pressing questions.

She never had many friends at school. She couldn't relate to any of the 'normal' girl talks because aside from going to school, Hui Yin spent most of her time working part-time jobs to be able to afford the tuition fee. Her father had died in an accident at work, and her mother followed soon after because of sickness.

Her brother used to be the closest person to her and the one who supported her during financial troubles, but when Hui Yin enrolled for her freshman year at college, he fell in with a bad crowd and abruptly left her. Even now, Hui Yin had no idea what happened to him. Maybe he had already died.

And as for male friends...male friends were no good at all. They would start by being overly nice to her, but would suddenly become jealous when she gets close to another man. By the time she became a sophomore, Hui Yin had long realized that it wasn't 'friendship' they wanted. So she stopped befriending them, and the jealousy of the other girls also slightly lessened.

Hui Yin only had a few close friends at school. Luo Lan, a few female colleagues...and Jiang Xu.

She never really knew when they started becoming friends.

Maybe it was when she joked to an annoying suitor that she had an 'unrequited love' for him.

Or maybe it was because he lent her a pencil when she forgot to bring one during an exam.

Or when she told him that she didn't like his hair...or the time he started calling her 'Wifey' as a joke...or when she got the trust of his twin brothers during their first meeting. Hui Yin couldn't really pinpoint the time they became close enough to treat each other as a 'best friend'.

Maybe Hui Yin should get mad at Jiang Xu for kissing her. But she couldn't.

Because she knew in her heart that Jiang Xu wasn't like those boys, who at the moment she turns them down, would never speak to her again despite being 'friends'.

So when they both pulled away at the same time and Jiang Xu was looking at her like he had just done a crime punishable by death, Hui Yin simply laughed.

”Are you going to take responsibility for that?”

Jiang Xu's eyes widened. ”What?”
