Yu Lian and Feng Ye shouted out together, " Who are you calling a coward, huh?!! " Seeing their reactions, Ning Mei giggled and said, " Come on ~ When did I call you a coward? " Yu Lian who was sitting beside her flicked her forehead and said, " It means the same, okay! "
It was at that time that Li Chen came to her help. He laughed and took Ning Mei's side, " Hey, you guys, stop bullying her. She is indeed a good actress. Whether it was in the past or now. Or else, she wouldn't be here today. Spending all these years in America and all those stuff. "
Seeing that Li Chen was taking her side, Ning Mei puffed up herself and said in a proud tone, " See! Learn something from him, you guys. This is called friend ..! I am great now and I was also great in the past.... " Ning Mei trailed off as if she suddenly remembered something and she instantly turned her head in a swish forwards Yu Lian and looked at her with big expectant eyes.
Then she grabbed her hand and said, " Meimei... I have an appointment with Mr. Beauty today!! Did you forget?! We need to rush home. I have to get ready too!!! " Yu Lian looked at this hopelessly love stuck fool and shook her head. She sighed and said, "Yeah... I remember. But the appointment in at seven. What, will you do by going home so early? "
Ning Mei tsked and shook her head hard and said, " Tsk. No Lian. You won't understand... It's my first date with Mr. Beauty! Heck...! First date of my life. Obviously, I need to get ready beautifully!! " And Ning Mei continued her blabbering, as Feng Ye looked utterly confused. Staring at Yu Lian's and Ning Mei's face simultaneously. ' Can someone please tell me what is happening here? '
While Li Chen looked at them with a small frown. He didn't know why but a face suddenly popped up in his mind as soon as he heard Ning Mei utter ' Mr. Beauty '. He shook his head and asked, " Is Ning Mei going on a date today? "
Hearing this, Ning Mei turned towards him with a smile, while Yu Lian was the one to answer. " Yeah... our little girl here is madly in love with someone Mr. Beauty of hers. "
" And I am going on a date with him tonight!!! "
Hearing this, Feng Ye's frowned harder. He glared at Ning Mei and said, " Hey girl, you have just landed in this country, it's barely 24 hours and you already have a love?! Do you even have any shame left with you? "
Yu Lian looked at the all hyped up Feng Ye and said, " No... it's not what you think like it is. It actually all started.... "
And Yu Lian just started explaining everything that happened three years ago, and Ning Mei sat there correcting some of the things. She was not reluctant on sharing these things with her friends. Infact she wanted them to support her.
When Yu Lian finished hers lecture, silence regained among them. Li Chen now was sure that, who is the guy Ning Mei was talking about. But he regretted one thing now, that he didn't take a picture of that guy's face.
But Feng Ye kept eerily quiet. Ning Mei couldn't handle the silence any more and asked him, " Oih.. What's wrong? Say something! " Feng Ye looked up from the ground to stare straight into Ning Mei's eyes. And something hit Ning Mei hard on her heart is that, there was heavy dissapointment in his eyes. And she was taken back by it.
After a few breathes, Feng Ye said in a low voice, " What should I say Ning Mei ? Should I congratulate you? That I am the last person to know about this, when I was the one who was concerned about you the most at that time. Yet, Lian and Li Chen knew it before than I knew. You were so good at hiding, right. Well.. keep it up. Whoever he is, whatever he does... you guys will be together or not, it all depends on you and you see it by yourself.
I don't want to talk anything about it, nor I want to listen anything. " And saying that much, Feng Ye got up from the couch and left. The three of them were left speechless and Ning Mei was particularly stunned. Her mind wandered to the night three years ago, she remembered how much Feng Ye was concerned about her. How much he helped her that night. With out him, what ever happened that day, would be particularly impossible.
But yet... at that time, she hid it from him. And yes, she did feel guilty about it, but she doesn't regret it. If she would have told him what really happened, he would be more pissed up than anyone else and it would only add up to more of her burdens. Worse, he might even end up visiting Yan Fan and would have said something to him. And she would have never wanted something like that to happen.
She sighed and also got up from the couch and excused her self and she left. Her mood... was already ruined. Yu Lian and Li Chen looked at her leaving and didn't say anything. After Ning Mei left, he asked softly to Yu Lian , " What's that guy's name?"
