After hearing her answer Li Zhi wanted to say something but stopped when she saw Mo Chou.
She met Mo Chou 7yrs ago when she just arrived in America. When she first saw her she is sitting on the bench under the tree watching childrens playing with their friends and parents. Even though the atmosphere there is peaceful and full of liveliness due to the presence of children's and their laughter but atmosphere around her is gloomy. Even though she is there it seems like she belongs to different world . Her face is pale and expressionless and her beautiful icy blue eyes shows loneliness which gives the sense of an abandoned child. Her loneliness attracted her attention.
But when she tries to get close to her she ignored her presence
Even though she tries to talk to her but as expected she once again ignored her. Her rejection make her more determined to talk to her. But once again she was ignored, she wanted to continue but then called out by her warden so she left her reluctantly.
Later they met each other several times because next day she found that girl once again in her school , both of them are in same class but different section . She tries to talk to her whenever she got time between the classes but the result is still same. At certain point Li Zhi thought Mo Chou will never talk to her as she has created an imaginary wall around her. She always saw her sitting next to window . And every time she is looking outside but her expression never changes. She neither talks to anyone in her classroom nor she participated in any activities.
All classmates thinks she is arrogant because even though she didn't participates in any activities or talks with anyone she always comes first in exams. Soon they also started ignoring her , no one tries to approach her and she never tries to communicate with anyone.
Things goes like this for almost 7 months but one day at night when she is getting ready to sleep she heard some noise from next room. When she reached there she saw her covered in lots of blood . She is in pain but she didn't make any noise or ask for anyone to help her instead she remains silent . She is staggering in front of her door , Li Zhi saw her and without asking any question she helped in dressing her wound and takes cares for her whole night.
Next day when woke up she is surprised to see her. This was the first time she saw any kind of expression on her face.
She remembered as soon as she wakes up she asked her question.
"Why did you help me yesterday, when i never replied to you all these times and ignored you."
At that time she replied , " i helped you because you are my friend".
Aren't you afraid of me when you saw me covered in blood. Don't you think it is dangerous to help me.Don't you despise me.
And she simply said ,"No"
Why .. she asked.
Because you are my friend i trust you.
This one sentence brokes that imaginary wall between them.
From that day onwards they became best friends, no you can call sisters.
Li Zhi what are you doing standing there come and eat your breakfast. Mo Chou called when she saw her friend standing in daze.She has just comes out of bathroom after taking bath but her friend is still standing at the same place when she comes . But thinking that she might have something in her mind, she left and enters her kitchen to make breakfast for them but when comes out with everything, she founds LiZhi is still standing there in daze. So she called her out.
Her voice takes out Li Zhi from her trance , she smiled and sits on one of those chairs and started eating.
Mo Chou is wearing simple peach colour shirt and black jeans and her hair is pulled up in pony tail at the back.She looks refreshing and beautiful.
During breakfast none of them talk and simply concentrated on eating.
After breakfast Li Zhi takes all plates from the table to wash them while Mo Chou called her driver.
By the way Li why did you lie to me that its
already 12 pm when its only 8:15 at that time.
Hehe..i just don't want you to be late so i lied to you. Otherwise do you think you would had opened the door.And i bet you if i don't came here on time you might have missed your flight.
Mo Chou pondered for while then she find Li Zhi answer reasonable because she truly might have missed her flight today , so didn't say anything.
Thank You, Li for taking care of me all these times.
Hey what are talking about . We are bff so its natural to take care of you.
Now don't waste time , it's already 11:30 we have to leave otherwise we will definitely miss our flight.
Alright let's go .
Mo Chou enters her room and takes her two suitcases and then after looking towards her room for some time she locked her room and leaves with Li Zhi. After locking her door her eyes are wet but soon she hides her emotion.Li Zhi saw her getting emotional but did not say anything, she knows this apartment has lots of memories of them and leaving here is not easy for both of them.Soon they comes down and enters the car which is already waiting outside the gate.
The car slowly started moving and the apartment in which they lived for about 4 yrs has been left behind.
Li what are you thinking just now.
Nothing, just thinking about our past.
Silly what's in the past to remember ha .
Even if i tell you , you will not understand.
Hmph if you don't want to tell me it's ok but don't taunt me ok.
The car is moving fastly and inside their bantering can be heard.
