Awaken

Inside grandma Feng's room, Jun Kai fell down on a seat close to him. He could hardly breathe and had let out a shaky sigh, but it could not take away the big stone in his heart.

He licked his dry lips. However, it was no use, his entire mouth felt so dry. Jun Kai's head reached out to hold onto the armchair and gripped it tightly.

Behind him, Xue Li watched as Jun Kai fell limply on the chair. She felt heartbroken for him, but she was sure he would get over it. She walked up to Jun Kai and placed her hand gently on Xue Li's shoulder, "Jun Kai..."

Jun Kai turned his face slightly towards the other person and spoke with the strength he had left, "I want some time alone. Can you please leave as well?"

Xue Li felt rejected, but she could only swallow down her bitter feelings, "Alright, I'll wait for you downstairs." At least, he would know that she would still be waiting for him.
