Without You

Chapter 19

Li Mei's POV

I could hear sobs coming from Cindy's room as I helped Andrew.

I was kind of happy that she got yelled at, but it also made me feel guilty.

If I never came back, they would've been a happy couple.

But I came back. And now they'll probably split up at any moment.

Wang Yuan's POV

The guilt was eating me alive. Especially when I heard Cindy's sobs from my room.

I stared out my window, gloomily. And it's raining. Everything is just perfect.

I sighed heavily.

Knock knock!

"Come in." I mumbled.

Qin Qin came in and closed the door.

"What happened?" She asks, worriedly.

"I asked Cindy why she pranked Xiao Li and she didn't respond. It ended with me yelling at her and her crying. The guilt is eating me alive."

Qin Qin nodded, understandingly.

"I think-"

"Wang Yuan! Can I-"

Qian Xi cut himself off when he saw Qin Qin.

"Never mind." He said and walked out.

"You should tell Xiao Li-"

"Qin Qin. I know you want to help me, but I think you should focus on your relationship right now." I interrupted.

"You haven't been hanging out with Qian Xi that much ever since Xiao Li came back. And every time he sees you, you're with me, giving me advice. How do you think that makes him feel?"

She was speechless.

"Y-You're right. For someone who has such a complicated love life, you give pretty good advice." She gives me a small smile and hurries out of my room.

I smiled a bit. The fact that I may have helped Qin Qin and Qian Xi's relationship made me feel a bit better.

But how should I help myself?

Knock knock!

"Come in."

Junkai stepped in and closed the door behind him.

"I heard you yelling at Cindy. Uh... are you alright?" He asked.

I nodded.

He nodded, knowing I didn't wanna talk about it.

"Anyway, we're all going to this place to have dinner. You should get dressed or something."

I arched an eyebrow.

"All of us?"

"Yea. Except that Andrew kid. He doesn't wanna come." He shrugged.

"Okay. I'll be down in a minute."

He nods and leaves my room.

I get dressed and head downstairs.

~At the Restaurant~

Li Mei's POV

After we got our food, everyone was talking and joking around. It was like nothing had happened today.

Well, except Cindy. She didn't talk much and was mostly on her phone.

She sometimes kind of kicked me under the table though.
