’Just strolling? What’s going on with her?’ Li Jing thought to herself.
"I need to keep my mind working, Jing. Let us go."
In as much as she tried to deny it and put up a bold front, Li Jing knew her friend very well, she was hurting and blaming herself about what happened.
"Okay. Just easy there, you do not want falling now, do you?"
Hearing her ntion the word falling, Yin Lifen stopped walking and looked ahead.
Li Jing noticed the silence that ensued due to her words and knew she had struck the wrong chord.
"I am sorry, Fenfen. I didn’t an it that way. I was just kidding."
"I know, it is just that it still does not change the fact that I caused her injury. It was because of that my grandma is lying on the bed with an injured leg."
"Yin Lifen, stop blaming yourself . Your grandmother’s accident is not your fault," Li Jing corrected her.
"It is. At this age, she was not supposed to be getting injured as it would take longer for her to heal. If only I had not been too carried away by my own curiosity... "
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Jing pulled her close and hugged her., leaving Yin Lifen shocked.
"I know how you feel, Fenfen. Let it go. Grandma would not be happy to see you this way."
Sob..!
Li Jing could feel the tears falling on her shoulders rather than getting angry on her, she pulled her friend closer and hugged her tighter.
"She is going to be fine. Co on, let’s continue our walk, alright?"
Li Jing pulled back from the embrace and watched as her mother hen like friend behaved like the baby chick.
Together they walked hand in hand and arrived to the garden at the side of the hospital.
"If I recall correctly, I was about telling you sothing before the call ca in. Still interested in hearing the news?"
At the ntion of the topic, Yin Lifen’s eyes lit up as her curiosity was always piqued when it ca to spicy gossip.
Li Jing shook her head when she saw her friend’s reaction.
"Yes, tell his na so I can search him up."
"Right, now you have gone from being a baby chick to the bossy mother hen."
"Just spill already but before then, you would never believe you I saw today at the hospital!"

’How can she be this hyper active after she was just drowning in sadness a while back? Oh Yin Lifen, only you can change moods easily.’ Li Jing thought to herself.
"Okay, who did you see?" Li Jing asked her.
She knew not until Yin Lifen got it out of her system, she would not be able to calm down.
"I saw Ye Cheng!"
Li Jing had to literally close her ears with hands before her friend would destroy her ear drums.
"Ye Cheng! Are you sure?" Li Jing asked after so seconds of silence.
"Yes. At first I wasn’t paying attention as I was rushing to see grandma but I knew he looked familiar, that is side view and by the ti I ran back, he had entered the elevator."
"Oh so you never confird it?"
"I did."
"How?"
"I called his na and he looked up just before the elevator doors closed."
"Oh!"
"Yeah, I felt so happy."
"I bet you were."
"Yup, now tell that guy’s na. And he better have a nice na so that I can consider forgiving him for giving you so much stress or else...."
’Should I let her know that her crush is the very sa person I have been living with? Sigh, I guess it is inevitable. She would know sooner or later.’ Li Jing thought.
She was conflicted about the issue and after so pondering she decided to spill the bean.
Ring!!!
Quickly, Li Jing brought out her phone from her bag and checked who was calling.
"I am sorry, it is Luo Jinhai."
"Hmm, lover boy is calling again. He should know that he has got competition now."
"Shh, do not say anything. There is no one in my life, not even him. The last thing I want him being overly protective over again."
"Fine. Whatever you say."
Ignoring her friend, she turned to her side and answered her call.
"Hello, Luo Jinhai."
"Li Jing. How are you?"
"I am fine. And you?"
"Great. Can we et up please? I would love if you could have dinner with . I just want to see you please."
"Umm, well I... I am accompanying Yin Liven at the hospital. Her grandma got involved in an accident. So I..."
"She would co," Yin Lifen shouted in the receiver, making Li Jing move back away from her.
"Oh, my regards to Yin Lifen. So, what do you say? She has given you the go ahead already."
"Fine, I would co."
"Where are you? Should I co to pick you up? Which hospital?"
Li Jing told him where she was and found out he just passed there, he reversed back his car and ca to pick her.
Once again, she failed to tell Yin Lifen about Ye Cheng. It felt as though fate did not want to allow it or Yin Lifen wasn’t lucky enough.
After the so hours, the dinner was over, Luo Jinhai drove her back to ho.
Although he asked so questions about her staying there but when she began shutting him out, he reserved his comnts and let her be.
"Thank you for today, Luo Jinhai. I had a nice ti."
"You are welco. Perhaps we can hang out on Saturday, go to the national park or sothing?"
"Hmm, I do not really know about that. I would have to fix my schedule and all."
"You really don’t have to give answer now."
"Okay, I’ll check my schedule. If it is possible I would let you know. Bye."
