Chapter 91: Shocking news
Xi Hua started shaking Yu Chen, "Why didn't you tell us before."
Yu Chen: "I wanted to. But you wouldn't stop talking. And then you started arguing with Zenghai and Kio."
Mo Kio: "It's too soon. Who will compete with me now?"
Yu Chen: "And this selfish idiot is only concerned about himself."
Just then, Si Xia's voice sounded in the room, "14 days."
They all looked at him, "What???"
Si Xia, "Chen has fourteen days until she leaves."
They all came to a realisation. Huo Zenghai, "Well yeah. But it's still too soon."
Yu Chen felt uncomfortable and changed the subject, "You said a party was being organised for us. Give me some details."
Xi Hua was immediately distracted, "Oh yeah. Guess who is the organiser of the party?"
Yu Chen was confused, "It's not one of you right?"
Mo Kio: "It's Yuan Zuan."
Yu Chen spit out the drink she had just taken, "What?!?!?! Oh Hua, sorry about that."
Xi Hua: "No worries. My reaction was much more shocked at the time."
Huo Zenghai: "Yeah. She says that she has changed somehow, and wants to congratulate us for coming second and apologize for what she did."
Xi Hua: "I don't trust her one bit."
Mo Kio: "I don't believe that a person like that can ever change."
Si Xia: "She must be plotting something."
Xi Hua: "And get this. She said that "as an apology"...." (Hua said this with air-quotes.) "she will be personally picking out our dresses and suits for the party."
Yu Chen: "You guys are right. I don't trust her one bit and I also have a hunch that she is plotting something, but....." Yu Chen hung her head for some time and then looked into their eyes, "But I believe everyone deserves a second chance."
Huo Zenghai: "Well whatever. Let's not talk about her anymore."
They all agreed and changed the subject. They talked till it was getting dark and then they said goodbye to Hua and Han and came out.
Mo Kio said, "Well I brought Zenghai so I'll be dropping him off."
Huo Zenghai: "No. I can walk. You take Chen. It's getting dark."
Yu Chen: "Oh no no no. First of all, I'm not riding that bike. I still don't like it. And second...." Chen pointed at her stomach, "Have you seen all the belly fat I have accumulated at home. I really need to get some exercise."
Mo Kio laughed and said, "So it's settled then. Zenghai, get on the bike. Xia, walk Chem home..... Please." he added, looking at Si Xia, who was looking at him so sternly, that Yu Chen thought of her mother.
So Kio and Zenghai went home on the bike and Chen began walking towards her apartment. Si Xia caught up with her. Chen said, "It's okay. I can go by myself. It's not that far and not that late anyway."
Si Xia looked at her with a saddened expression, "You really hate my company so much?"
Chen was shocked, "N-no. It's not that. I- I actually really enjoy i-it. It's just that..that, it will be troublesome...." Chen stopped upon hearing him laugh. She looked at him and he said, "So you do care for me after all."
Yu Chen was embarrassed and hung her head to hide her face, which had gone bright red.
