Paying back the honors

After some time, Meng Xiaxia was well enough to go home. Her large wounds had closed up considerately and the smaller ones were almost healed leaving a minor scar. As she walked into the large palace like house, she felt like she walked into a fairytale.

"Welcome Young Miss." the maids said greeting her politely. She was too stumped to answer so she nodded gently and headed to her room with her mother and Ling Yehua.

"Auntie Meng, you're probably exhausted. I'll take care of Xiaxia from here." Ling Yehua said politely to Leng Shuang. Leng Shuang smiled gratefully before turning to Meng Xiaxia.

"Yehua will stay with you for now. I'll tell someone to bring a meal for you." she said softly. Meng Xiaxia felt touched and smiled.

"You can rest, Mother. Yehua and I can manage." Meng Xiaxia said calmly. Leng Shuang agreed since both girls insisted.

Meng Xiaxia and Ling Yehua walked into her room and sat down on a small sofa. Meng Xiaxia stared round her supposed room. Everything was so... so pink!

The room was literally dipped in pink and white paint. The walls were white with pink curtains and draperies. The small bookshelf which was obviously for fancy was polished a soft, girly shade of pink. Even the bathroom door was pink.

"Was my room always this... this pink?" she asked hesitantly looking at Ling Yehua.

"Yup... Yuexi always wore sunglasses before coming in her. She said it hurt her eyes." Ling Yehua said with a small laugh. "You've been like this ever since we were kids. Why the sudden distaste?"

"I just grew up. I still think it's pretty though... Just a bit too much." Meng Xiaxia said staring round the room as she took notice of things she would be changing their colour. Ling Yehua on the other hand was quite shocked and happy.

"Yuexi had been trying to preach this to you for years and all it took was for you to leave that trash guy!" Ling Yehua enveloped Meng Xiaxia in a bear hug.

"I'm still injured." Meng Xiaxia said wincing slightly.

"Oh I'm sorry"

Ling Yehua's phone rang and she removed it from her purse. On seeing the name displayed on the screen, she quickly shoved the phone back in her bag with a guilty expression.

"Who was that?" Meng Xiaxia asked curiously.

"Jiang Zihao. I stole his watch." Ling Yehua said with a small smile as she showed Meng Xiaxia the expensive male watch which barely hung on her wrist.

"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked with a proud look on her face.

"It is. But, don't you have a watch?" Meng Xiaxia asked her expression inquisitive.

"I do. But it's my revenge." Ling Yehua stated "There was a day when he stole my bracelet which I designed without asking. So I'm paying back the honors"

Meng Xiaxia laughed. Those two!
