PROBLEMS

I want to use the restroom, wait here for me Fang Haoyu said as he walked away. After easing himself, he washed his hand and walked back to the hallway.

He saw Ai Meng leaning on the wall as she scrolled through her phone, her gaze was serious and her hair drooped sideways, with her slightly exposed thigh, Fang Haoyu felt like she looked alluring.

He secretly took a photo of her before walking to were she was and wrapped his hand around her waist. Ai Meng raised her head to look at him. When he looked down at her, he saw that her eyes where vacant. He frowned slightly, the last time she had that look was when her grandma died. After about three minutes of waiting, Ai Meng finally opened her mouth.

Sorry about that Ai Meng said as she lowered her head and walked at the front.

Ai Ai, what's wrong Fang Haoyu asked as he grabbed her hand but Ai Meng did not seem to feel anything. They walked to class hand in hand but Ai Meng was still in a daze.

When she woke up from her stupor she quietly sat down, took her writing materials and started jotting down.

After class, she quietly walked out and went to the bathroom, she bent her head slightly and started washing her hands. It soon started bleeding but she didn't want to stop.

Fang Haoyu walked to were she was inside the restroom and held her hand. He raised her head slightly so he could look into her eyes but once again, they were vacant.

Ai Ai Fang Haoyu called repeatedly but Ai Meng did not respond. She took her hand from his and went back to washing it.

Fang Haoyu directly picked her up and took her to the school's nurse, she didn't even struggle she just buried her head slightly in his embrace and sniffled.

Fang Haoyu looked down at the figure in his arms. When he got there, he personally sat down, he took a bottle of alcohol and cotton wool from the nurse he bent down as he gently wiped the injuries in her hand.

Mind telling me what happened? Fang Haoyu asked

Ai Meng looked at him slightly and turned her gaze away from his.

When will you learn to trust me? Fang Haoyu asked. Ai Meng looked at him and turned away again.

Scared that she would go and wash her hand again, Fang Haoyu bandaged her whole hand.

That's better, I can be at ease Fang Haoyu nodded at the sight of his handwork.

Let's go to class He added and Ai Meng stood up along with him. Together, they walked to class silently.

Afterschool, Fang Haoyu personally waited for Feng kexin to come out of school.

Hey brother Haoyu Feng Kexin waved at him as she walked hurriedly towards him, not wanting to make her male god wait for too long.

What's up Feng Kexin asked

She, make sure she doesn't go to the bathroom herself and tell your brother to talk her out of the stupor she's in. If he can't I'll try to talk her out of it.

Bye Fang Haoyu bade her goodbye and left. He walked to Xue Song as his eyes turned cold.

Have you found out? Fang Haoyu asked him

She was just scrolling through her phone at that time, she wasn't talking to anybody Xue Song said

En. Fang Haoyu nodded

Smoke? Xue Song asked as he took out pack of cigarette

Fang Haoyu looked at it and sighed

En. He nodded as he took the cigarette between his index and middle finger.

Xue Song took a lighter out and help him lit it. Fang Haoyu slowly drew a sharp intake of the Cigarette Xue Song suddenly felt worried that he was going to choke on it but surprisingly, Fang Haoyu did not.

I, I want her Fang Haoyu said and Xue Song looked at him sharply.

Ehn, you do know that those undiscovered and discovered brothers of hers will not allow it so what do you think you are going to get? You can only want her for now. When we expand your power, you'll see if you'll be able to stand a chance with those brothers of hers Xue Song said as he continued smoking.

Hmm Fang Haoyu nodded, knowing he makes sense

So, we go to the basketball field or a bar Xue Song said

Bar Fang Haoyu said without hesitation.

When Ai Meng got home, she walked to her room. She did not make a sound, she did not even make her presence known to others.

Where's Jing? Feng Sui asked Feng Kexin who came to welcome him at the door.

She's in her room. Brother Haoyu said you should try to talk her out of her stupor. She has been behaving weird since we left the school. She refused to come downstairs, refused to eat. She has been cooped up in her room for more than four hours after we left school. Feng Kexin said

Feng Sui frowned as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his suit as he walked up the stairs to Ai Meng's room.

Jing Feng Sui knocked on her door gently

Come in Ai Meng said quietly

Feng Sui twisted the door knob and walked in.

Kexin said she noticed that you were behaving out of the norm, anything you want to tell me? Feng Sui said as he looked at Ai Meng who had her advanced physics textbook on her bed, she bit her pen as she battled with the questions.

Nothing Ai Meng said a little detached.

Sure? Feng Sui asked softly

Hmm Ai Meng nodded.

Jing, look at me Feng Sui said and Ai Meng raised her head. That was when he finally understood the weird that Fang Haoyu reported was.

Feng Ai Meng. Feng Sui called softly

Hmm? Ai Meng answered. Her voice carried a little confusion as she tilted her head to look at him.

Are you sure you're alright? Feng Sui asked quietly

Hmm Ai Meng nodded again before ignoring his presence

Door Ai Meng said. Feng Sui could not understand what she was saying. For the first time, he wished Fang Haoyu was nearby.

Out Ai Meng finally said again

Feng Sui looked at her as though he was seeing a ghost. She had never been this cold to me.

The next day, Ai Meng went to school as usual and walked to Fang Haoyu he tried tapping her but it seemed as though she doesn't want to be touched. She kept her distance.

'Ai Ai, what's wrong? Fang Haoyu asked with a sigh for the third time.

I said it's nothing, learn to mind your business Ai Meng said as she hissed and walked to the class

I was just concerned Fang Haoyu said as he followed behind her.

I don't need your stupid concern, keep it to yourself Ai Meng said as she turned around and stared at him

Stay the fuck away from me She added as she walked to class leaving a bewildered Fang Haoyu.

When they were in class, he tried talking to her but it seemed as though they were back at the beginning, where he did all the talking and she did all the ignoring.

He tried to ignore the aching in his chest but couldn't so he could only wait for her after school.

Big sist, Brother Fang is talking to you Feng Kexin said. Ai Meng turned to glare at Feng Kexin

You should go home without me Ai Meng said as she went to the bus stop.

Ai Ai, she didn't mean it that way Fang Haoyu said as he gasped for breath

Ai Meng ignored him and put her headphone on as she turned away from him as though the sight of him disgusts her.

Can we talk about it? Fang Haoyu asked but she didn't reply

Can we talk about what's making you mad at me? Fang Haoyu asked again Ai Meng looked at him and removed her headphone

I just need some time to myself. Just leave me alone Ai Meng said

I won't Fang Haoyu said as he stepped closer to her

I said stay the fuck away from me Ai Meng said coldly as she walked backwards

Fine Fang Haoyu said

Thank you, Ai Meng said. Just then, the bus came and she got in.

When Fang Haoyu looked at the bus, he realized that she was going back to her previous house. He frowned and walked back to Su Zhou who was waiting for him.

You…you Su Zhou stuttered and shook his head before entering the car

I what? Fang Haoyu asked a little irritated before getting in the car.

Ai Meng got to her grandma's house and sat on the chair staring into space.

Maybe, just maybe if I didn't give Fang Haoyu the chance, she wouldn't have left me Ai Meng thought as she buried her head in between her knees. She gave out an exasperated and desperate sigh.

She didn't even feel like crying just felt like being alone.

Maybe if I shut everyone out, I wouldn't have to worry about losing anyone. Ai Meng said to herself.

She sat on the chair all through the night. Even when her phone rang she refused to pick up.

Where did you say she went to? Feng Sui asked Fang Haoyu again

I think she went to her previous house and I already told you not to worry but you wouldn't listen Fang Haoyu said as he continued playing game on his phone

Why are you acting like you don't care Feng Sui asked

That's because acting like that would reduce the thought of going to meet her but it's doing nothing to help Fang Haoyu said with a sigh before dropping his phone

So, should we go fetch her Feng Sui asked

Fang Haoyu looked at Feng Sui incredulously before answering

The domineering CEO Feng Sui is actually asking for my opinion did the sun rise from the west.

Feng Sui glared at him.

She said she needs sometime alone, don't worry, she'll come around. Fang Haoyu said

Are you trying to convince me or yourself Feng Sui asked with raised eyebrow while Fang Haoyu ignored him with a snort.
