Even after listening to Xu y, a certain green-eyed individual didn’t react. Xu y kept gazing at Ru’s tall fra looking over the blinking lights of the skyscrapers in the distance.
"Sensei, why are you so quiet?" Xu y chose to break the thick silence since she wasn’t comfortable with it anymore.
"Did you talk to your father?" asked Ru, not looking back at her.
"No." Xu y bit out softly.
"Why?" Xu y lifted her eyes to see Ru’s green orbs searching for sothing in her eyes.
"I don’t know how to talk to him. I know for a fact that dad doesn’t know anything about having a son." Xu y spoke in a confident manner.
"And how are you so sure?"
"Sensei, if he knew he had a son... He would never have let that woman take him away."
Xu y was confident about this. She had heard from Fan Bingbing that her father broke down back then because that woman even threw their daughter away and left him.
Ru nodded her head giving her tacit agreent. She finally sighed and took a seat beside Xu y.
"Do you mind if I take your pulse?" Ru’s sudden question surprised Xu y but she still shook her head and stretched her wrist towards her. Placing her slightly calloused fingers on Xu y’s delicate wrists, Ru closed her eyes briefly. When she let her go, Xu y could see a ghost of a smile on Ru’s face.
"What’s wrong?" Xu y asked anxiously.
Ru shook her head and said, "Nothing is wrong as of yet. But try not to get agitated. It’s not good for your health or the one inside of you."
"So... What about that son? I an your twin brother."
Xu y held Ru’s wrist and dragged her through the corridors before pointing Xiamu who was seated on a chair with his head rested on the wall behind him.
"There he is..." Xu y drawled her words as she pointed at Xiamu.
"Are you sure?"
"I might not be before but after I heard him calling sis, I’m sure."
As if feeling soone’s gaze on himself, Xiamu opened his eyes and turned his face towards Xu y. She was so alard that she even pulled Ru with herself and hid behind a wall.
"Why are we hiding?" Ru asked with slight amusent.
"Because I don’t know what to say to him." Xu y answered matter-of-factly.
"Are you sure?" Seeing the skeptical look in Ru’s eyes, Xu y knew she couldn’t deceive this person no matter how hard she tries to do so.
"Sensei, it’s awkward."
"Why?"
"I’m feeling guilty towards him. Badly!" answered Xu y in exasperation.
"Again, why?"
Xu y closed her eyes and groaned in irritation. Suddenly, she felt sothing cold touching her nose. Her eyes flew open and she looked at the ice cream in Ru’s hand.
’Did he just get that out of thin air?’ Xu y wondered to herself in amazent.
"Eat! It’ll make you feel better." She wiped the cream from her nose and pressed her lips together before she took the three flavored ice cream from Ru’s hand.
"How did you get it? It’s past midnight. And how did you know I was craving for ice cream?" Xu y inquired incredulously.
"Let answer in the order of the questions. First, I have my ways to get what I want and whenever I want." Xu y chuckled at this self-centered reply. "Second, I didn’t know you were craving ice cream. I guess I got lucky this ti." Rubbing Xu y’s head while she was eating the ice cream in content, Ru went on, "Now, are you chilled enough to answer my question?"
Xu y knew she wasn’t getting out of this at all. So, she relented eventually.
"I feel like for the happiness of my Qiao Ge, I just snatched away the happiness of my own little brother." Seeing Ru’s completely lost look, Xu y had to add the story of how Xiamu was engaged to Yu Kim while Yu Kim was in love with Li Qiao and vice versa. "I’m such an incompetent sister. How could I just do that to him?"
"Gosh! I so wanna beat the hell out of you right now." Xu y looked at Ru in surprise only to find that the latter didn’t seem to be kidding at all. "This is the biggest problem with you. Assumptions! It’s not like you did everything knowing who he was or who he was talking about. You gave a stranger very honest advice. That’s it! Get over it now!"
She couldn’t help but knock on Xu y’s head lightly. She knew these assumptions were the reason Xu y must have decided to leave Jie which backfired on her. This girl never learns her lesson! Ru could only shake her head.
"You think he won’t bla ?" Xu y asked uncertainly.
"We wouldn’t know until you man up and talk to him. Instead of acting like a chicken."
"Sensei, I can’t man up." Xu y giggled like a kid.
"Right, you can’t do that." Ru bobbed her head up and down slightly. "Well, then just gear up for so heart to heart. Your family needs that right now."
