Racing To You [Liu Yuxin x Reader]

34. I don't

Y/N's POV

The days flew fast and almost a week has passed. Nothing much has happened or changed. But today, more exactly, right now, Mom, Minsu and Kong Xue'er finally came back to the house. Although it would have been a lot better if they came back without Kong Xue'er, but it's not like I can do anything about it.

So, here we are now, in our living room. Kong Xue'er is up and about, fussing over Liu Yuxin who is sitting on the couch. Mrs. Liu is actually here as well. She just got back from her trip and came to finally pick her daughter up. Mom and her are in the kitchen. Minsu is sitting beside me on the other couch, both watching in amusement as Kong Xue'er and Liu Yuxin interact.

That is, if it could be considered as interaction at all. The look on Liu Yuxin's face is meme-worthy. Her face screams out 'help' as Kong Xue'er continued to scoot towards her. I couldn't help but let out an amused snicker, making her narrow her eyes at me.

"Yah, Lee Y/N! I can't believe Mrs. Liu left Yuxin with you." Kong Xue'er said and turned to me with a glare, making my face turn blank.
"Really? Neither can I." I mused sarcastically which made her roll her eyes.

"I bet you didn't even take care of her. Mrs. Liu said to send her home when she's alright. But she's still here until now." She snarkily said as she turned back to Liu Yuxin.

"She was already fine almost 3 days ago. She was just too feel-at-home and wouldn't leave." I pointed out with a huff. I then glared at Liu Yuxin but she didn't notice as she was busy trying to swat Kong Xue'er's hands away.

It is true. She was already recovered from her fever a couple of days ago. But being the stubborn brat, she is, she refused to leave. She even had the guts to lock me out of my room. My room. Because she said I was too noisy and she needs to rest to get better. Better, my foot! She was already fine.

"And why would she do that?" Kong Xue'er turned to me again. She probably grew tired of Liu Yuxin pushing her away. So now, her irritation is laser focused on me. How wonderful.

"Because she has a career of being annoying." I deadpanned and caught the brief glare that Liu Yuxin sent me.
"You're so in denial. As if you didn't enjoy the company. I distinctly remember you, telling me you like me." She said and crossed her arms as she stared at me.

At the mention of that, I felt my face burning up in embarrassment. Even if it's too cold in the room and sweating almost feels impossible, I am. Seeing the smirk on her lips only worsened my irritation as Kong Xue'er also stared at me.

Liu Yuxin has also been using that against me, most often to shut me up and divert the topic whenever I told her to leave. That damned girl took everything I said out of context. I said that I like her attitude, not literally her. I would've died before that. Impossible.

"You prat, I didn't say that." I snapped and glared at Liu Yuxin, who rolled her eyes,
"Ugh, yes. You did. You even fed me." She replied and smiled in victory.
"You what?!" Kong Xue'er shrieked.

I could feel my brows furrowing and the strong urge to throw something at Liu Yuxin's face, just to finally shut her up. The same goes for Kong Xue'er who doesn't seem to know how to do anything apart from shrieking. God bless my eardrums, because I still have months with her.

"You've taken it out of context! I didn't mean it like that. I mean your character, not exactly you." I said calmly but I still glared at the two of them.
"And as a matter of fact, I distinctly remember you, telling me you like me, as well. I'm sure you mean it the way I did." I added and huffed as the heat has yet to leave my face.

"I do... or do I?" Liu Yuxin said, making my head snap towards her and when I did, she gave me a small smirk and a wink.

Beside her, I heard Kong Xue'er let out a gasp in disbelief before she turned to me with a sharp glare. And if looks could kill, I must say, I's be lying on the ground. Not six-feet under, but still dead.
