Chapter 84 - Solicitation (2/2)

Lei Xing took Tung Mei to a restaurant nearby and got a private room and left Xiao Ruo to eat in the general area so they could have privacy. After they were settled in, Lei Xing asked, ”Lei Yong is not with you today?”

Tung Mei frowned and then pouted, ”I'm following your advice and giving him space like he wants.”

”My advice?”

”En. You said I shouldn't chase keep chasing after someone persistently like that, that it's suffocating and makes him want to run more.”

Lei Xing blinked and knit her brows.

...That does sound like something I would say...Actually I'm pretty sure I've said that before, then again, I've come across my fair share of desperates before...

”But is it wrong to go after someone you like?... Also, Yong ge is a very confusing person...no, he's a confused person! It's him, not me...”

Lei Xing blinked a few times and frowned.

...I swear I had - Am I that -... I guess it's a common expression, maybe?...and they're friends too so they could both be confusing - no, confused...So she can say it too...

Tung Mei continued to lament, ”When I leave him alone, he starts to worry, gets anxious and eventually goes to find me and goes ”it seems you've been busy” while looking at me like I committed a great wrong. Then once I start going to find him, then he starts running again and treating me like as if I-” Tung Mei took a deep breath and gulped down her wine, ”Honestly, it's tiring...this is the last chance I'm giving it. If it doesn't work this time, then I'll stop. I mean it this time.” She said looking at Lei Xing with a resolute expression.

”How did we meet?” Lei Xing asked, uninterested in the love lives of others.

Tung Mei frowned at the seemingly random question, ”Didn't Ah Jin tell you?”

”She said she doesn't know.” Lei Xing responded narrowing her eyes.

Tung Mei then smiled, ”Ah, yes...I forgot about that part. So it was three years ago, you left the city, we met on the road through a string of coincidences and went on an adventure together. It was fun!”

Lei Xing raised an eyebrow and then smiled, ”You see, I recently got in an accident and so my memory is a bit scattered. So please share the details. I want to know.”

Tung Mei blinked a few times then went, ”Hmm, sure!... So-”

...*Where are you?...

... Hmph!...

...*It has been brought to my notice that you are not home...

...And since when do you care?...

”Everything okay?” Lei Xing asked when Tung Mei suddenly stopped talking and scowled.

Tung Mei smiled, ”It's fine...”

...*Xiao Ying!...

...You swindled me! So don't pretend to care. I'll sort my life out myself! You just mind your own business!...

...*You better not go start troub-...

...I am not listening anymore! This is Goodbye!!...

...*You better not re-...

Tung Mei angrily removed her bracelet and threw it on the table. Lei Xing watched her odd behavior with a raised eyebrow and then asked, ”Are you okay?”

Tung Mei smiled, ”Perfectly fine...Where was I?”
