Confrontation

Qian Yih stepped out into the sun, sighing. Long Wei supporting her made her want to snuggle into his arms. Qian Yih shook the idea out, Long Wei is engaged. Her heels clicked against the marble tiles. The clicking stopped. Qian Yih squinted her eyes.

" Do you think Mr Long is going to tell my sister? He saw us... and I heard that Qian Yih has a meeting here today!" Qian Lian worried, her delicate hands, that had never done a single chore before, clutching Guo Liang's arm.

They looked like a couple. A delicate pretty young lady with a decent looking young man.

Qian Yih snorted, " A couple of cheaters, that's what, "

Suddenly spotting Qian Yih, Guo Liang instinctively pushed Qian Lian away. Ultimately causing Qian Lian to stumble and lose her balance. Guo Liang quickly caught Qian Lian, like a good boyfriend when his girlfriend falls. Qian Yih almost doubled over with laughter.

" Umm, Qian Yih. Let's break up, I don't like you anymore, " Guo Liang heartlessly shot.

Ha.

Qian Yih let out a giggle. Guo Liang and Qian Lian stared at her, was she crazy? Qian Yih covered her mouth, gathering her thoughts before she continued.

" Ok, the joke's over!"

Guo Liang's eyebrows furrowed together. Looking very lost, Qian Lian squeezed Guo Liang's arm. Qian Yih's playful eyes clouded over. Instead, sadness and pain overwhelmed her. She felt tears slowly making their way to the front of her eyes.

Qian Yih flipped her hair back before continuing on her way. Trying her best not to cry in front of the cheating couple.

Qian Yih breathed in the fresh air of the outside before crossing the road. Her vision cloudy with tears.

HONK.

CRASH.

Loud screaming... Qian Yih felt light-headed. Her world spun. She reached up to her head.

Blood.

Huh. Bye world.

She let out a loud laugh.

A joke, like her entire world.

Gradually, her laughter turned into tears, cries of heartache and anger.

Her cruel world that liked to stomp all over her. The horribly selfish world that gave her all the perfect and good things in her life, and also took them away when she was at her lowest. Gone, all the pain, gone...

" Xiao Yih!" A sweet familiar voice called out. Qian Yih got up.

Mum?

" Xiao Yih, you're finally awake! Did you know how much mum was scared you'll never wake up?" A petite yet charismatic lady in her early 40s was bent over her, her face clearly worried.

Qian Yih shook her head, was this some hallucination?

" An Xiu!" A gruff voice sounded.

Qian Yih immediately sat up straight. It was her father. Qian Lu entered her room, sitting at the edge of her bed. Qian Yih wrinkled her nose in disgust for a moment before reverting back to her emotionless face.

Not noticing Qian Yih's face, Qian Lu reached out to pat her hand, as if to comfort her that her parents loved and cared for her.

Instinctively, Qian Yih snatched her hand away, surprising Qian Lu and An Xiu.

Qian Yih covered her eyes, masking her sudden repulsion of her father as a coincidence that she wanted to rest more.

An Xiu smiled and waved Qian Lu to leave. Even if Qian Yih could fool Qian Lu, she still couldn't fool her own mother.

" What happened?" An Xiu's authoritative voice filled the room.

Unable to keep in her emotions, Qian Yih enveloped An Xiu in a big hug.

" Mum..."

An Xiu sighed before stroking Qian Yih's hair.

This emotional girl.

Finally, after a few minutes, Qian Yih pulled away reluctantly.

An Xiu raised her eyebrows in expectation.

" Dad is cheating on you, " Qian Yih started.

An Xiu frowned. She seemed to be contemplating something. Qian Yih glanced her fingers, wondering if she should continue.

" I know, " An Xiu finally said.

Qian Yih's eyes widened.
