"I … I ca to et WeiWei. I heard that she is not well. Is she alright now?" Shin You Jun said as getting back on his feet. Although his words were the explanation to Li Xue, his eyes not for once went to look at hers. His hands were tucked inside his pants' pockets while he was looking everywhere around but at Li Xue.
Li Xue understood his avoidance. He was upset and she felt happy. Not because he was upset but because she understood what Chen Rui told her about the sibling's love. Truly she was wrong to miscalculate it. But today after finding the boy coming to her like this, she would never repeat it.
Holding a soft contended curl over her lips, she looked at him to ask, "You ca to et WeiWei?"
At once, Shin You Jun's pupils dilated as taking a stance of accusation, he turned to look at Li Xue to say, "If not WeiWei, what do you think? Of course, I am here for her. She called earlier, telling how ill she is and how much she is missing . I wasn't able to respond to her in ti as I wasn't in the mood of attending the calls. But after I heard her voice ssage, how could I still call myself her uncle if I did not co to cheer her up."
He said more in the tone of proving himself. Li Xue heard him and nodded with much understanding to say, "Oh I see. But you don't have to explain so much, I never doubted your words in the first place." She said and feeling affected with her words of faith in him like that, Shin You Jun opened her mouth before closing it without saying anything.
Li Xue raised her brows at his effort of bringing out his thoughts. "What? Were you wanting to say sothing?"
Shin You Jun felt getting sweetly bullied. "You … don't trick with those words. Who asked you to not ask for the explanations? You should ask because I am not your …." He said but paused not willing to complete his own sentence.
Li Xue could guess his unsaid word all easily but she felt impressed seeing the boy not completing his word at the end. "You are not my …? Were you saying sothing?" She asked and the struggle of accepting that one thing was very clear on the boy's face.
His fingers clenched on his side as looking at Li Xue, he just looked away denying his previous words. "Nothing. I am not here to talk to you. So don't find a way to do that with . Let enter, I want to et the little one." He said before stepping on his own to walk inside the house.
Li Xue didn't stop, instead allowed him to enter before saying, "But she is already asleep. You chose the wrong ti to co." She said and Shin You Jun's steps halted the other mont before he turned to look at her.
When he stared at her, Li Xue gestured him to look at the clock where the hands were almost there striking the midnight. "Children usually don't stay awake until this late. Especially when they are sick." Although the aning was very simple in her words, the intentions with which she has said those words were also clear to anyone's understanding.
If he was really there just for Weiwei, he might have also noticed the ti. But since he still chose to co then it only ant two things. Either he has not checked the ti while coming here, or he wanted to co and make so things clear.
Although with his personality the forr looks more suitable, Li Xue still forced herself to believe the latter.
Shin You Jun looked at the clock and embarrassnt surfaced in his expressions. "Sorry, I didn't notice the ti and ca this late. I will leave first." He said and began his steps hurriedly to walk outside the house.
Li Xue wanted to stop him, but she feared that no matter how she stops him, he might not listen to her.
Shin You Jun was on his way out of the house when suddenly his steps ca to pause rembering the fork fallen on the floor. Li Xue might have dropped it before when she restrained herself from attacking him. He rembered her holding it before.
Pondering over it for so ti, he looked around at the density of the trees around the house. Though it was well lighted, still …
He turned suddenly with confusion on his face and in that blink of a mont before he could notice her expression, Li Xue changed her face.
"Your over-doting husband is not around to scare today?" He asked and Li Xue paused before looking around.
And then shaking her head, she said, "He had so work to do so he is not here. Gone out of the country for few days."
"He left you alone in this forest? Is he crazy?" His tone changed along with his expression and Li Xue raised her brows. To which he quickly rectified. "I an WeiWei is sick like this. What was he even thinking while going off the country?"
Li Xue nodded but her nod was not of simple understanding but was of the understanding that she understood of reality. "Ah yeah, got it. I understand your concern. But it's okay. I am here with her and nothing would happen. Don't worry about her. You can go back first. It's already so dark at night, the morning would co soon, and then everything would be fine. For now, just go back first." She said and, in her words, several emphases were coming on the right notes.
Although she was telling that she would be okay, her tone was also stating a dilemma in it. She wanted him to leave but as well asking him to think twice about it.
Shin You Jun stared at her. "Fine since you would be okay alone then, I would go. It's already night and I should leave first." He said and Li Xue nodded to her. But she could see the second thoughts in his eyes. She wanted it that way.
"Yeah, you should go." She said again as emphasizing more, she took her steps to lead him to the door.
Shin You Jun nodded. "Mhm. I should leave. "He said as once again he turned to proceed his steps out of the door. Li Xue followed him, ready to close the door. But just when she could, Shin You Jun turned around with a determination on his face.
"Nope, it's not right.." He said and Li Xue wrinkled her brows in confusion.
