Chapter 14

When an answer is accompanied by a silent response, Cecil knew it wasn't unnecessarily bad.

Most of the time.

It proved to be true, since after a long, uncomfortable minute of silence. Xue simply asked her to repeat her words again.

"What...what did you just say?"

Cecil proceeded to answer with the same words.

"I want you to be happy."

Another silence.

Xue retreated slowly, taking his hand away from her neck, pointing his finger to the outside of the alleyway.

"Scram."

"I...I can go?"

"Scram!"

Cecil jumped and almost sprinted out of the alleyway. She glanced back, still seeing Xue in the same spot as he put down his arm, his back facing Cecil.

Xue was leaning against the wall, squeezing his nose bridge with his fingers.
