Si Xia made Chen sit comfortably on the bed and put the breakfast tray in front of her. "Eat." he said.
Yu Chen opened her mouth to say something but Xia put his finger on her lips, "No. I'll talk. You eat."
He then pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed.
Si Xia did not begin until Yu Chen started eating. He then told her all about his talk with Sam, and urged Chen to eat whenever she stopped.
Yu Chen held her head as Si Xia finished.
"Oh my god that..." she began but Xia cut her off again. "I'm not done yet. I need to tell you something more."
Yu Chen looked at him, and Xia took a deep breath, "What you've been assuming about me being in love with Mi Chang is completely your theory. And it's not true. I'm not in love with Chang."
Yu Chen looked up, clearly shocked. "Then...." she frowned, her mind clearly working very slow due to the hangover.
Si Xia looked down, "Yeah. I lied to you when I said I slept with her. I was just trying to take revenge on you for kissing Sam I guess." Xia looked very ashamed of himself as he said this.
"About that....." Yu Chen began, but Xia shook his head. "I'm not done. You eat." he said as Yu Chen took another bite.
"Chang is actually a very old friend. We grew up together, at the orphanage. I met her at a bar when I went to drink after my talk with Sam. I was definitely in no condition to drive back home, so Chang brought me back and took care of me that night. She's been staying with me ever since because..." Yu Chen suddenly shook her head, which broke Si Xia in the middle of his talk.
"What?" he asked.
Yu Chen said as she wiped her mouth, "I don't need to know that. It's your personal life."
"But you have a right..." Xia began but Chen cut him off, "I believe you."
"I'm definitely not worthy of it." Si Xia muttered as he took away the tray and brought some medicine and a glass of water.
Yu Chen took the medicine and then took a deep breath, "I believe you. And anyway, I have something to tell you."
"But I'm not done yet." Si Xia protested.
"I don't care." Yu Chen cut him off, "You've gone on for long enough. Listen to me for a while."
Si Xia sat back down and Yu Chen fumbled with her hands. "The conversation that Sam told you about....." Chen began.
"I don't need an explanation. I completely understand." Si Xia interupted.
Yu Chen glared at him, "Listen." she then looked down again and began, "That conversation actually went something like this..."
Yu Chen and Sam Darcy were sitting on the roof of Chen's dorms one summer evening. It had gotten dark and the sky was overcast with clouds, so that no moon or stars were visible behind the clouds.
"I just can't understand why, Chen? Why?" Sam whined.
Chen sighed, "We've been through this Sam."
Sam: "But I still can't understand."
Chen: "I love him. That's it. There's no space in my heart for someone else."
Sam: "Yeah I get that. But what I'm worried about is...."
Chen raised an eyebrow, "Is?"
