When Liling returned to the room, Xin Yong and Richen were already asleep. She took a quick shower and climbed onto the empty space on the bed.
She clutched her knees with her arms, and breathed out heavily as her mind wandered off to what happened earlier that day.
Thinking about Liu Wei, she felt he was a good person, and damn it!, he was quite handsome.
But this was earth and not fantasy, someone like that; handsome, extremely rich, she doesn't have enough right to even dream about him.
He was not for her and she knew it better than anyone else. She knew that in the end it would be her getting hurt so she rather avoid it before it became too late.
Thinking back on how her dad treated her mom, she couldn't help but sigh. Such was what life was, and not the fantasy that it feigns to be.
She didn't want to live like that, so couldn't afford to lose herself so easily. Closing her eyes tightly, she forced herself to sleep.
