Because they have no place to stay for the night.
But then Xiao Mei Zhi and the future Alpha's phone suddenly ranged together, which made them look at each other in the sights, again. Those thick bright gold eyes, the power that comes from him by just having an eye to eye contact.
It almost took them a minute to have a good stare at each other. After both of them looked away, Xiao Mei Zhi was experiencing confusion inside herself, she was more concerned about what can she do good in the future with Jingyi on her side. Since the image of a man with gold eyes made her go into deep thought and she did not even want to know how she ended up continuing the personal matters in her head, she has that feeling of being read openly by the man. It was becoming something like that, but maybe she was just having brain fog.
While the future Alpha reassured Beat, who was nodding, "We can't go back, we can't rest now. The others will eventually contact us when there are some reports."
Seven was unexpectedly upset and was not saying a word. He had been happy the whole time with Xiao Mei Zhi on his side, but even Beat did not know why Seven's mood changed. Even if their Future Alpha was beside them, he was acting sad like a nobody.
Xiao Mei Zhi pressed the answer call on her legacy phone as she snatch a look at the future Alpha. She was glad that he did not see her looking at him over and over again. "Miss Xiao Mei Zhi, you must come back to my office now." She got startled by the voice of the authorized doctor on call. "Hello? Are you still there, Miss Xiao Mei Zhi?"
"Uh, yes. I am here. Just wait for me for a minute."
She quickly organized herself before she went out of the coffee shop to go back to the doctor's office. She was not having a good day, but that man with bright gold eyes hits on her judgment differently.
Qiji who was sitting on the light red, long, waiting sit outside the doctor's room and thought that maybe Xiao Mei Zhi was not yet ready and she understands her because Xiao Mei Zhi's mother's death was already a sad memory and with her being rough as a human, she must still be in shock after a few months of not communicating so much with people aside from Jingyi and her. And the crisis of being scheduled for psychotherapy will vastly change her at any time after every struggle in their meetings, she was not just mentally and physically tired, but even in her emotional state, she was almost done with everything --even if her face shows that she was trying to accept the facts--it was not that simple to see the world differently at all.
Xiao Mei Zhi just arrived at the front building of the therapists, she was not sure if she wanted to enter again, but her plan on making Jingyi grow happy she finally decided to go inside the entrance of the building. Xiao Mei Zhi was walking slowly and Qiji stood up when she heard slow footsteps coming toward her.
"You are back," Qiji said and she did not seem to have any problem with Xiao Mei Zhi who just left her alone in the building.
Xiao Mei Zhi nodded as her response to Qiji.
Qiji had to pat an available spot on the wide, rectangular chair to make Xiao Mei Zhi sit down. And when she got settled in the spot, the two of them did not do so much talking.
And Xiao Mei Zhi had not been in a good mood while Qiji was not with her. It probably started when she saw Seven that had taken her to the airport.
"Ugh," Xiao Mei Zhi growled as she felt like her head was just being banged.
"Are you alright Miss? We can go home now if you do not want to enter the office."
Xiao Mei Zhi shakes her head and grips on the edge of Qiji's shirt ,"Water, give me water."
Qiji softly touch her hand to Xiao Mei Zhis grip and gradually pulled it down for her to release the hold. "I will be able to do it suitably if you won't grip me, Miss."
Xiao Mei Zhi looked at Qiji while she was trying to say something but her face actively felt hotter than the usual temperature she was feeling. She was a little blushing red--you could tell there was something wrong.
Qiji reached out her hand to get a plastic up and fill it with water. She wanted to say to Xiao Mei Zhi that everything would be alright, but while she spends some days together, it just does not seem right to her if she stick her nose to Xiao Mei Zhis's business. She had to swallow hard the words that she wanted to say and had been thinking for a quite while. She put down the cup and let the lukewarm water dispenser fill the empty cup.
The noise from the flowing water made Xiao Mei Zhi clench her hands on both sides. It was triggering a memory inside of her head. Undescribable images of fire, house and long pine trees were showing up. Qiji was asking about the cup if she wanted it to be half full or not but she did not get to hear it.
Since Qiji could see what Xiao Mei Zhi was doing, she instantly goes back to her side after the cup has been filled with lukewarm water and she attended to her, "Here, your water Miss."
Xiao Mei Zhi sulked while drinking the water. Since the moment that pair of light gold eyes got her struck out, she was not able to think properly with what she was about to focus on. She was like forcing herself to avoid thinking about it too. If she can easily set aside some unsorted problems, then she could do it again with those light gold eyes.
