Instead of replying, Li Lian’s eyes that looked at Zhuang Xuan blinked, "What?" she asked as if she hadn’t caught what he uttered but in truth, she caught his words too well. "How did you co to conclusion?" she asked and Zhuan Xuan tilted his head at her.
"How?" He repeated her words and ca to speak, "Isn’t that a question anyone would ask when they et their old friend?" His eyes then noticed the expression changed in Li Lian. Since long before, Li Lian was soone who could lie and it was very easy for Zhuang Xuan to steer clear through Li Lian’s lie. Like now as he expected when Li Lian asked him back.
"I know better than anyone of how loyal you are when it co to love, I find it hard to believe that you could cut your feeling off from him easily but I guess not easily as one year have passed." added Zhuang Xuan in the end with a hum. That ti when they were still in college he was the couple’s cheerleader. When they graduate he thought nothing would be different but now everything was changing. What he believed could never happened took its place.
Then he found out Li Lian’s background but Zhuang Xuan believe no matter from where Li Lian ca from or her past, she would be the sa Li Lian he know. His view on his best friend would never change.
Li Lian anwhile, thought that one year didn’t pass on her life and even if other people had experience the changes that one year when she was asleep, she didn’t. It felt like her closing her eyes to only open it again as if she had just passed one night sleep, she thought to herself.
"I guess, you are correct," she smiled, letting Zhuang Xuan to fill her words with his own and at the sa ti, they arrived at the large door where the dining was, pushing the door open, there was a small commotion happened to the group of people who had entered the dining room was.
While Li Lian and Zhuang Xuan who was falling behind the line, walking in slow steps to talk, didn’t notice what happened until Li Lian’s eyes narrowed at the commotion and her brows raised.
"What’s happening?" asked Li Lian and Zhuang Xuan shrugged his shoulder.
"I’ll go and take a look first." he stated before leaving the place to make his way toward the dining room. There the slight smile he had on the corner of Zhuang Xuan’s lips that made him friendly fell when he saw the person sitting alone in the dining room, seeming as if he had been waiting the entire ti.
When Li Lian ca near Zhuang Xuan, he turned his face at her, pulling his brows tight Zhuang Xuan then said, "I’m sorry, the bastard played a trick on ."
Li Lian couldn’t make a aning from his words until her eyes shifted at the man sitting on the chair who when she arrived, also turned his face at her, a smile he offered. The man was He Chang Min.
Li Lian pressed her hand on her forehead and her eyes look at Zhuang Xuan who spoke before her, "I really didn’t planned this to happen Lian Lian. Believe , I wouldn’t help him."
"No, I am not doubting you." She replied, trying to find how could He Chang Min be in the place than her mind recalled how sure Zhuang Xuan was when he assud He Chang Min would not co. It wasn’t Zhuang Xuan who planned this but He Chang Min, thinking he would be able to trick Zhuang Xuan to bring her that to Li Lian’s disappointnt worked.
"Let’s enter." said Zhuang Xuan and her eyes staying at Li Lian turned fiercer, "The one who brought you here is , I will make sure he wouldn’t do anything to you."
"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t let anyone harm either and he wouldn’t be able to hurt ," she replied and find her emotions not turning into anything when seeing He Chang Min that felt slightly strange. She should have been sadder, angrier, but there wasn’t any feeling like those she felt when seeing He Chang Min, instead tired because the man’s persistence advances.
Upon entering everyone had took a seat except for Li Lian and Zhuang Xuan who ca last. All seat was occupied, leaving only the seat on He Chang Min’s left side where there was two chair empty for Zhuang Xuan to take seat beside He Chang Min while Li Lian taking the seat next to Zhuang Xuan. Having Zhuang Xuan helped her, she thought.
Violet was out for today, her bodyguard she could depend on in ti such as this was called by Li Jun Wei to attend another matter and in result, a different pair of bodyguards followed Li Lian discreetly.
He Chang Min didn’t greet her nor will Li Lian. Zhuang Xuan sitting in the middle where the place were the most important. The people began to greet each other and the two n and won who seated right across where Zhuang Xuan, Li Lian, and He Chang Min was, one of the man spoke, "It’s been very long ti since we et again, Chang Min. How do you do?" asked the man, being polite.
He Chang Min offered a smile when Zhuang Xuan spoke in between, "He is fine, you know him. He could still stand alive even when his limbs are cut out, heart taken out, and brain damaged. Right my friend?" Zhuang Xuan placed his hand on He Chang Min’s shoulder, like a good friend he was. "After all, he could mince other’s heart at will, having fun pouring lemon and rub salt on the wound as if you are trying to cook sothing."
The words may sound like a joke as Zhuang Xuan was soone with a smile, it was hard for anyone to notice that he was being sarcastic except for the person his shoulder was grasped tightly by him and Li Lian who took her glass of water, drinking it as if she doesn’t hear anything in her peaceful life.
