Without You

Chapter 18

Li Mei's POV

I got out of the shower and got dressed.

I plugged in my hair dryer and flour blew out into my sink.

I sigh. I get out my spare hair dryer and blow my hair. After that, I lay on my bed and turn on my TV.

I looked over at the chocolates. I picked one up and took a bite out of it.

Eww. It's rubber.

I roll my eyes. It was too good to be true. I threw out the chocolates along with the note she gave me.

I washed my hands. Huh. When did I get this bar of soap?

I shrugged, picked it up, and started to scrub my hands.

Ugh. The bar of soap had dyed my hands red with fake blood.

I threw out the soap and tried to scrub the dye off of my hands, unsuccessfully.

I gave up and went downstairs.

Wang Yuan's POV

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

Jeez. Who is coming down the stairs?

I turned to see Xiao Li.

"What's on your hands?" I ask. I could see a flash of red on her hands.

"As if you didn't know." She growled at me.

Li Mei's POV

"As if you didn't know." I growled at Wang Yuan.

He probably helped Cindy prank me.

"What do you mean?" Wang Yuan asks with a confused expression on his face.

Hmph. Playing dumb.

I angrily plopped onto the couch.

Ding!

I received a text message.

'What happened?' It was Qin Qin.

'Cindy pranked me! And Wang Yuan's acting like he doesn't know. He probably helped her with the pranks!' I typed and hit send.

'What did she do?'

'She put flour in my hair dryer, gave me some rubber chocolates, and she put a bar of soap in my bathroom and when I used it, it dyed my hands red.'

Qin Qin looked over at my hands before typing.

'I don't think Wang Yuan helped her.'

I scowled.

'Of course, you don't. You're always on his side.'

I rolled my eyes.

'No, it's because I can tell he still likes you. He would never do that kind of stuff to you.'

I scoffed and threw my phone onto a chair next to me.

Qin Qin frowned and went upstairs.

Qin Qin's POV

'Come upstairs into my room.' I texted Wang Yuan.

I heard quick steps, hurrying up the stairs.

My door opened.

"What's up? Do you know what's wrong with Xiao Li?" He closed the door.

"Yea. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. She told me that Cindy pranked her. And she assumed you were helping her." I explained.
