Without You

Chapter 17

Li Mei's POV

"I-I... I don't know..." I say, looking away.

She nods, understandingly.

"Well... if you need someone to talk to... you know where I am." She gives me a smile.

I give her a small smile and nod. She leaves my room.

Do I like Wang Yuan? Since Qin Qin finally brought it up, the question has been stuck in my head for hours.

No. I don't like Wang Yuan. He's a jerk. Plus, he has Cindy now.

I went downstairs and plopped myself down on the couch.

"Hey, Xiao Li." Andrew smiles, taking a seat next to me.

He opens the potato chip bag that he had in his hands and offers me one.

"No, thanks. I'm not hungry." I said, looking away.

He blinked.

"Since when were you not hungry? You're always hungry." He teases me, giving me a small playful shove.

I sit as still as a statue.

"Uh... I'm gonna go... get some water." He says awkwardly, getting up and going into the kitchen.

I sighed. There was no way I could help him ask out Abigail.

But there was also no way that I could have the heart to tell him that.

Wang Yuan's POV

"Do... you still like Wang Yuan?" I hear Qin Qin ask Xiao Li.

I held my breath.

"I-I... I don't know..." I heard Xiao Li.

I lowered my head. I felt miserable.

Qin Qin says something else and steps out of Xiao Li's room.

"Sorry, Wang Yuan." She looks at me, her eyes full of sorrow.

"It's not your fault." I shake my head and go to my room.

Qin Qin's POV

Poor Wang Yuan.

I can see that he still really likes Xiao Li. And I'm sure Xiao Li likes him back too.

~Next Morning~

Li Mei's POV

"Xiao Li. Get up." Someone begins to shake me.

I groan and open my eyes.

It's Junkai.

"Why this early? What time is it?" I rub my eyes.

"It's 9:00." He answers.

"Alright. I'm up." I say before yawning. Junkai leaves my room just as Qin Qin comes in.

"You want to leave after we eat breakfast?" She asks.

"Sure." I reply, getting up to go to the bathroom.

Wang Yuan's POV

I get up and go downstairs. Everyone else has already woken up. They were laughing and eating breakfast.

I glare at Andrew, who had taken my usual seat. I sit next to Cindy.

Li Mei's POV

I look at Wang Yuan from the corner of my eye. I can clearly see that he is irritated at someone. Probably Andrew.

I quickly finish my breakfast and go upstairs to change.
