(ch.111)

Around 3 pm, Yu got to the door of Xaing's and her apartment, she was super nervous as she slowly unlocks the door. When she opened the door, she that no one was home that made her relaxed a bit, she went to unpack as she was planning what to say or do when Xaing got home. Yu was finally done unpack as she got on the phone with her parents, "Yes, mom, I'm done unpacking," Yu answered in a calm tone.

Her mom asked "Sweety, did you eat yet," in a worried tone.

She answered "No, I didn't but I will in a bit but enough of me, when are you and dad coming back from you guys' trip," in a cheerful tone.

Her mom answered "We'll come back next month but anyways we have to leave now so bye," in a happy tone, Yu hummed then her mom hung up. Yu called Ming if she wanted to eat at her place, Ming said that she'll be there in a bit, so Yu order some food from a restaurant. While she was waiting for food and Ming, she went to see if Lai and Zhe are actually staying there. She went into a room, she saw that the room had some girly things, she went to look in the closet and saw a bunch of girl clothes, she was so confused. Yu went to the other room, she saw that it has men's clothes, she was so confused about who's stuff was in the other room but just then there was a knock at the door.

When she opened the door, Ming immediately hugged her and said "Yu! I haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you so dang much," in an excited tone.

Yu giggled and replied "It only has been a few months since we have seen each other, I miss you too," in a cheerful tone as she wrapped her arms around her.

"I know but still that's a long time," she replied with a pouty face, then she added "So what did you make," in a curious tone as she looked around as she enters Yu's apartment.

"I didn't make anything, I just order food since I don't want to cook something, it should be here shortly," Yu answered her in a calm tone as she closed the door.

Ming said "Ok, so what do you want to while you wait," in a calm tone as she sat on the couch.

"I don't know, I guess we can just watch TV while we wait," she answered as she grabbed the remort as Ming just hummed, then Yu put a movie on. After a few minutes, Yu got the food, she said "Ming, food is here," in an excited tone as she went to go get utensils.

Ming screamed "Yay," in an excited tone as Yu came to sit down, she added "Let's dig in," as they begin to open the food, then they begin to eat as they were watching the movie. An hour later, "Ahh, I'm so full," Ming marked in a satisfied tone as she rubs her stomach while she laid back.

Yu laid back and said "I agreed," in a cheerful tone, then she asked "What do you want to do now since we're done eating," in a curious tone as she looked at Ming.

She answered "I don't know, what do you want to do cause I don't want to go back to my apartment since I'm all alone by myself the day," in a frank tone.

Yu replied "Umm~ let's do each other's makeup, draw something, make a photo album of our friendship, or anything you can think of," in a calm tone as they both sat up straight.

"Those are some clever ideas, let's do each other's makeup but as bad as we can and the rest we can do after," Ming suggests as Yu nodded, she got up to go grab her makeup bags. After like 15 minutes, Ming was laughing so hard that she can barely talk, Yu said "Don't be laughing, yours might look funnier than mine," in a little annoyed tone, which made her stop laughing.

She answered "Ok, ok we both look funny, now let's take a look at ourselves," in a calm tone. Just then the door opened, they both looked and saw a teenage girl, talking on her phone. She said "Yes, I told school ended early, I'm not skipping, and yes, I'm home now so don't worry. By the way, when are you getting-" she stopped talking as she saw Yu and Ming.

Yu asked "Excuse me, who are you and why are you in my apartment," in a nervous tone as she stood up, facing the girl, they could tell that the girl was trying not to laugh.

She smiled, slightly bowed, and answered "Hello, my name is Qing Chin, Lai's little sister, I know who you are so no need to introduce yourself," in a calm tone.

Ming and Yu looked at each other, Yu said "Oh hello, sorry if I was rude, so telling me why you're in my apartment," in a calm tone.

"I'm here because Lai and Zhe live here temporarily, didn't anyone tell you," she replied in a calm tone as she sat on a chair.

Yu asked "Wait, what about your mom? Where is your mom," in a confused tone.

Chin's smiled disappeared as she said "My mom passed away 3 months ago, that's why I'm living with Lai and Zhe," in a quiet voice as she was looking down, Ming and Yu had guilty faces. She added "But it's fine, it already happened so I have to move on," in a calm tone as she put a smile on.

"Oh, I'm sorry for bringing it up," she apologized. Chin asked "Anyways what are you guys doing and if you guys don't mind," in a curious tone as she snapped a picture of them. She went on her and answered "Oh sorry, brother, I forgot about you... ok, see when you come home," then she hung up and her eyes went back to Ming and Yu.

They looked at each other, Yu hesitated "Um, nothing," in a nervous tone as she looked away.

Chin hummed with a smirk and said "You guys can keep doing "nothing", I'm going to my room," in a playful tone as she grabbed her backpack and went to her room.

Ming remarked "That was embarrassing especially since this is your first time meeting Lai's sister," in a mocking tone, then she giggled as Yu smack her and told her to be quiet.

Yu suggested "We should go wash this off before anyone else sees us," in a calm tone as she went to the bathroom. They were sitting on the couch, Yu whispered "Can you go ask if Chin is hungry," in a curious tone.

"No, you go, she probably more comfortable if you asked," she answered in an assured tone, they went back and forth to go ask Chin. After a few times, they heard a voice said "Don't worry about me, I'm going out to eat with my friends and yes, my brother already approve so stop," in an assured tone as they looked back.

Yu asked "Oh ok, what time will you be back and aren't you going to warm in that," curious tone as she looks her up and down.

"Um, I should be back in an hour or 2, and yes but I don't really care, ok bye see you guys later," she answered in a cheerful tone as she went to get her shoes on.

"Ok, be careful, bye," Yu replied, Chin hummed, then left. Ming asked "Doesn't Lai worry about her, just letting her go out by herself," in a confused tone.

Yu said "It's fine, I'm sure she'll be fine plus she's going with her friends," in an assured tone as she went back to watching TV, Ming also went back to watching TV. As they were watching TV, Ming asked "Oh yeah, how is Hong, how does she looks like, is she the same person," in a curious as she turned to Yu.

Yu giggled and answered "Slow down, I don't think Hong is feeling good, lately, she has been throwing up, because everything smells weird to her, but she says she's fine. She is quite pretty as a movie star and I don't how she was before but when I met her, she was cold and she talked with no emotions but now she shows more emotions," in a calm tone as she glances at her.

"Do you know what's going on with her and did she take some medicine," she asked in a curious tone.

"I don't know what's going on with her, I don't know if she has taken any medicine but she's going to the hospital next week," Yu answered in a calm tone. She sat up straight and added "But weirdly, the only smell that doesn't make her want to throw up is my friend's little brother's scent, Xiu Ying, you should remember him," in a cheerful tone as she looks at Ming with joy.

Ming was shocked and replied "I remember him but that sounds crazy, how can his scent be the only smell that doesn't make her nauseous," in a confused tone as she looked at her with confusion, Yu shrugged. She asked "But anyways, how are things with them," in a curious tone.

Yu sighed and answered "It's complicated, a lot of things has happened these last 4 weeks," in a strained tone as she looks down.

Ming marked "Well I got all day so tell me the story," in a calm tone as turn to face Yu.

Yu sighs again and said "I can't remember much but I'll try to give the story. So like 4 weeks ago, I made Yu play a trick on Xiu Ying, where she slept with his best friend, which was supposed to be for 3 to 4 hours but it went on the next day. The next day, when they came back, my friend and I went to ask them if they had actually done it but just then Xiu Ying came to us, Hong answered that they did it, so Xiu Ying yelled at them then he left. Later, Hong told us the truth that his best friend and she didn't sleep together, they just went to a hotel because she wasn't feeling good. Like a week later, when half of our team left to come back early, Hong gave a ring to Xiu Ying that was from a girl, that came back here.

He grabbed her tightly as he asked where was the girl went so Hong told him that she left but she also told him that he was hurt since he has a tight grip on her, then he quickly rushed to the airport. A few hours later, we notice bruises on her where Xiu Ying touched her so we had a little argument with him, then we forbid him from coming near Hong. After an hour or two, one of my friends, which is one of the bosses, told us that we should talk with Xiu Ying to hear his reason on why he reacted that why so we did, after talking we forgave him but we told him not to touch her," in an annoyed tone but calm.

Ming was so shocked, she asked "Damn that is complicated but what was his reason," in a calm, stressed tone.

She answered "I don't if his reason was reasonable or not but he said that he felt that the girl, that he met at a club, and he had a connection even though he doesn't remember her face or voice, the only thing that he knows about her is that she the matching ring as him. He wanted to find her to get some answers and hope to get to know her better, since that day, he has been wearing the ring," in a calm tone as she looks at Ming.

Ming had a confused face as she commented "I don't know if that's a good reason or not for getting Hong bruises," in a confused tone, Yu nodded. "Anyways what we do now, I kinda don't want to watch the movie anymore," in a curious tone as she got up to stretch.

"You want to draw something," Yu asked in a calm tone as she begins to stretch too.

She answered "Sure but let's go outside to see if there's anything interesting to draw, if there is then we can take a picture and come back to draw it," as Yu nodded. After they were ready, "Ok, try to not get caught by anyone," Ming said in a cautious tone as she nodded, then they left.

As they were walking around, looking for things to draw, they passed by Xujiahui Park, Ming suggests "Let go into this park, it's been a long time since I've been to this park," in an excited tone as Yu agreed so she drags her in the park. As they were taking pictures of many things as they got closer to the grass area, where people have picnics and sit around, Yu asked "You want to go sit down for a bit," in a curious tone, Ming nodded. While they were sitting, taking a few pictures around, Ming stuttered "Yu, isn't that Lai's little sister, why does she look like she is arguing with a group of boys," in a curious tone as she was looking from her phone to the place she just took a picture.

Yu stood up and looked where she was looking, Yu answered "That is Chin, what is she doing," in a confused tone as she begins to take a video, just in case it's needed, while Ming was taking pictures of them. When they got close to the group, Yu asked "Chin, what are you doing," in a cheerful tone as they looked at Ming and Yu.

Chin was shocked as she said "You guys continue, I'll come back," in a serious tone as she drags Yu and Ming away. Chin asked "Why are you guys here, aren't you supposed to stay home since you're in the middle of a situation," in a confused tone as she looked at them both.

"Yeah but we wanted to take some pictures so we came here then we just saw you," Yu replied in a calm tone. She asked "What's going on with your friends and that group of boys," in a curious tone as she looked at the group, one of Chin's friends and one of the guys were bickering at each other.

Chin turned to look at them as she answered "Oh it's nothing, it's just that one of the guys, the one that is bickering with my friend, has been bothering my friend for a while now and almost everywhere we go, we happen to meet them so this happens until we decide to drag my friend away but lately we have been filming these situations, I can't lie, it's quite fun to watch," in an amused tone as she smiled, pointing to her other friend that is filming.

Yu comment "Ah ok if you're fine then she and I will be leaving, be safe, bye," in a cheerful tone as they walked past their group, Ming and she turns to look at them one last time, just in time to Chin's friend kick the guy on one of his shins as they started to giggle.

When they got back, Yu said "I know what I want to draw, can you send me some pictures of Chin's friend and that guy," in a calm as she went to get notebooks and pencils while going to sit on the couch, sending her the pictures.

After an hour, they heard, what seems like, a couple having an argument, Yu asked "So should we go see what's happening in the hall, it could be serious," in a nervous tone as she looks at Ming with a worried face.

Ming answered "I don't think so, we shouldn't get involved, it's their problem but if there's violence we'll go see," in a quiet tone, Yu nodded but just then they heard the door unlocks.
