"Who is she? Why did you bring her here?" Everyone in the room present heard the tone Junjie used and the implied meaning behind it as he acted nonchalant while looking at Fei Hong.
Hong snorted, "I'm Fei Hong, but it's good that you don't know me. Damn, I just wasted my time to come here and check on you." She turned to leave.
"Oh! Now you are worried about me? Why? Who am I to you? Just a passing person, ah!"
She turned.
"Shut up, okay? Why are you acting as if I've done a crime? We are just friends after all. Must you—"
"BEST FRIENDS!" Junjie exploded, correcting her words. It was loud enough to jolt her. "GODDAMN IT. We are BEST FRIENDS, Hong. Don't devalue our friendship."
"All right! Best friend it is. So what?"
He stilled, waiting to see what she wanted to say.
"Does that mean I should tell you about everything going on in my life?" she said finally.
