"Mei," Kei called out. Raising her head, Xiu Mei clashed eye contact with Kei's. She immediately saw his playful turn into a serious gaze at her. "You'll be able to get through it."
He was saying that to her like he was assured that it would really happen but she, herself, wasn't sure whether she could really do it or not.
"I don't know." She smiled that wasn't exactly a smile. Her gaze now on the foods on the middle of the table.
"You will. Because you're the strongest person I know, Mei. Ever since we were little kids, you've always been the strongest among all of us." If Kei was sitting beside her, he would've definitely given her a hug for comfort.
Xiu Mei didn't raise her eyes and thought about his words. Is she really that strong? What if Kei was just overestimating her capability and maybe, she was actually the cowardly person that other people was calling her?
