NovelEnglishXu Mey’s cunning smile spontaneously took a turn towards an innocent and meek look. She looked at He Jian’s glazed eyes and didn’t dare to argue.
She climbed on to her bike and followed He Jian’s car. He Jian revved the car back to Peach Estates with Azalea.
After they entered the house one after the other, Xu Mey lowered her head avoiding He Jian’s gaze. He stood straight in the middle of the living room with his arms crossed before his chest. "Xiao Mey?" He called her name gently perfectly masking his anger.
"Present Sir!" Xu Mey answered in an adorable manner making He Jian narrow his eyes at her.
"What do you think you were doing?" He questioned.

"I didn’t say such a thing. You know very well that this brother of yours will never question your ways of dealing with stuff." When he received the call from Azalea, he drove as fast as he could to reach to Xu Mey. Azalea only briefly told him that Xu Mey was taking revenge for someone closer to her.
Azalea didn’t mention Jun Li Na’s name because she didn’t feel like talking about it so easily. Also, it wasn’t her place to talk at all.
"Then why are angry?" Xu Mey lifted her eyes to glance at He Jian.
He took a step closer to her and lifted his hand. "Ouch!" Xu Mey screamed in pain when He Jian pulled her ear saying, "You were supposed to be the one to call me. And that too even before acting on impulse."
Xu Mey rubbed her ear and glared at He Jian. "Jian-Ge, I didn’t think about his stupid friends. And I was gonna call you if I felt the need to." He turned to Azalea and added, "How would I know that Zelie would call you over?"
"I only called Jian bro when I heard that those three idiots were going to call the cops. I thought only Jian bro could be of help at that time." Azalea answered in a righteous way. "Although I know that you’re good with words, I still thought that we should have a backup."
Xu Mey couldn’t possibly say anything to Azalea since she did everything thinking in favor of Xu Mey’s well being. And it was the right thing to do.
"It’s a good thing that Zelie bothered to call me otherwise, a certain someone doesn’t even feel necessary to tell me anything at all." He Jian said with a hurt look.
Xu Mey felt guilty and didn’t know what to say. All of a sudden, she decided to change her tactic. She paced up to He Jian and tugged at his sleeve swinging it from side to side. "Jian-Ge..." She blinked her eyes and puckered her lips adorably. "I was really gonna tell you. But I thought it’d be better to tell you only when necessary."
The way her demeanor took a 180-degree turn, Azalea was dumbfounded. On the other side, He Jian’s anger had deflated like a balloon. He patted Xu Mey’s head and said, "Xiao Mey, you know that I really don’t care about your decisions in life as long as they don’t end up hurting you. Tonight, you could’ve ended up at the police station if I didn’t have interfered."
"Humph! Who dares to take me to the police station when I have my Jian-Ge to protect me?" Xu Mey said proudly making He Jian smile. He shook his head and looked at the time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was already 5 in the morning. "I should leave now. Both of you take care of yourselves." With that, He Jian left the house.
Behind him, Azalea stared at Xu Mey and couldn’t stop herself from clapping. Xu Mey frowned and turned to look at Azalea.
"You really are amazing, sis!" She remarked with an admiring look in her eyes.
Xu Mey coughed a bit questioning, "What do you mean?"
"You not only have a way with words. You also have a way with people. Can you tell me how you learned it?"
Xu Mey stared at Azalea for a moment longer and her lips curled upwards faintly. "My Sensei used to say, ’To deal with life or people you always have to remember two things. When it comes to life and people, always think of winning. But in the case of people who love you, always focus on losing. Because sometimes, we have to lose and that’s how we win.’"
Azalea was perplexed. "I don’t get it." She commented.
Xu Mey smiled at her and ruffled her hair. "Life and people like to push us down and expect us to lose. But we need to rise and win this battle with life. As for the people who love us, it’s not so wrong to lose once in a while. It shows that you cared enough."
"I can only say that your logics are mostly like Jie-Ge’s friend. Complicated!" With that said, Azalea went upstairs to her room.
