My Crush is the Mafia

Chapter 15

Shao Fei's POV

I sat beside the hospital bed nervously looking over my mom who was asleep. When we first arrived, she was taken away to surgery to get the bullet out. Luckily, the bullet didn't hit anything important. My concentration was broken when the door opened and Zhao Zi walked in.

"Hey Shao Fei, how's she doing?" he asked as he took a seat next to me.

"Well, the doctor said she's fine but she'll be asleep for a while."

Zhao Zi pats my shoulder in a comforting manner. He stares at me for a while like he's trying to read my mind.

"You're thinking about what happened, aren't you?"

I looked at him and nodded.

"It's just a lot to take in. First, I found out that Tang Yi is a part of a life like this. Then my mom comes into the picture and it seems like she knows some things as well. It's just that everyone around me is keeping secrets."

"I know. I couldn't believe it either. I found out when Jack got a call from Tang Yi. I heard him mention your name and I got worried. When I kept asking about what happened, he told me everything."

I sighed and rubbed my forehead.

"So, what're you going to do?"

Zhao Zi looked at me confused.

"About Jack. It seemed you two were getting close. So now that you know this is his life, what're you going to do? "

Zhao Zi sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I don't know honestly. We'll probably have a talk about it."

"Do you think you'll stay with him?"

Zhao Zi chuckled, "Call me crazy, but I don't think I see myself leaving him. Even though he is mafia I couldn't possibly see my life without him."

I smiled at him, "It seems that you've fallen in love."

I can see Zhao Zi starting to blush and he punches me in the arm. I rubbed my arm and pretended that it hurt and Zhao Zi and I started to laugh. We eventually calmed down and Zhao Zi looked at me.

"What about you? Would you stay with Tang Yi?"

I think about it for a moment? It's not like my feelings for him went away, but I don't know how many more secrets he's kept from me. I quickly got up and headed to the door.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Zi asked confused.

"I'm going to look for Tang Yi." I said and headed out of the room.

I walked down the hallways looking around for Tang Yi. I then see Jack leaning against a wall and I run up to him.

"Jack, have you seen Tang Yi?"

He lifts his head up and points down a hallway.

"He went up to the roof. Just go down there and up the stairs."

I nod and start heading in the direction.

"Shao Fei, wait a second."

I stopped and turned to look at him, "Yes?"

"You're aware of the relationship between Zhao Zi and I right?"

I nod.

"I want to tell you that I won't let anything happen to Zhao Zi. I know that I don't have a normal lifestyle like others, but I really do care about him. I'm willing to do anything to keep him safe. I'm telling you all of this because you're his best friend and you care about him. I promise you that I'll take care of Zhao Zi."

I looked at him for a moment. His words sounded sincere.

"If anything happens to him, if he gets hurt especially by you, I'll kill you."

Jack chuckles, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Also, go easy on Tang Yi. I was the one who suggested he'd go after you even with the way his life is."

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind." I said and walked down the hall.

I headed up the stairs to the roof. I saw Tang Yi sitting next to who I thought was his dad. I could hear them talking but couldn't make out what they were saying. The conversation suddenly ended and I saw his dad get up. I quickly hid and watched as his dad walked to the door and back inside.

I get out of my hiding spot and looked towards Tang Yi. I saw that he had a cigarette between his fingers. I walked up behind him.

"I didn't know you smoked."

Tang Yi turned his head towards me. I could see the surprised look in his eyes.

"Well, I don't do it often. Only when I'm stressed." He said as he dropped the cigarette and crushed it under his shoe.

I nodded and sat next to him. We fell into an awkward silence. I wasn't sure if I wanted to initiate the conversation or let Tang Yi do it. I looked at him and saw that he was looking down, as if he was lost in thought. I don't know how long we sat in silence, but I couldn't take it anymore.

"Tang Yi, we need to talk."
