Chapter 10: Chapter 9
"Gege,"
Yu Mo turns his head and sees Xiao Ying peeks from the door. Yu Mo smiles and signals him to enter. He shyly enters.
"Is there something you need me to help you?"
Xiao Ying shakes his head and softly answered,"I owe Gege. And I will repay Gege's kindness."
"I don't expect that." Yu Mo replied."Don't worry. I don't ask you to repay me. Don't think this as debt."
"But, Gege..."
"Here we go again." Yu Mo said with a smile."Grandma and I already emphasize that you are fine here. No one will look down on you. We also didn't pity you. Just be yourself."
That silences Xiao Ying.
"I know it's hard to accept people's kindness which you just met for a day... or so?" Yu Mo said with a laugh."And it makes you think a lot of things, whether it's good or bad. I understand that. So... what if we have a deal?"
Xiao Ying looks at Yu Mo with wandering eyes.
"Truthfully said, I'm not only 90% likely less at home, I'm moving out to Apartment. Of course it's not because you are here, but I really need to focus on my responsibilities." Yu Mo said."So, what if when we meet again, I want you to be mature than now and I can relay on you."
That makes Xiao Ying's eyes widened."G... gege, I can't!"
"And be more confident than now." Yu Mo continued."This deal starts..."
Xiao Ying waits.
Yu Mo smiles and said,"now."
"Gege is leaving now?"
"Oh? I hadn't say?"
Xiao Ying powerfully shakes his head.
"What's with the rush?"
"I already going back and forth these weeks between apartment and home. And my work is going very hectic, that's why I decided to live in apartment."
"Um..."
"If you are afraid that people will look down on you or judge you, don't worry. Keep your heads up and do whatever you think is good. Don't mind at people's judges. If it's too much, you can call me anytime."
Xiao Ying smiles a little.
"I love your smiles. Show it more, yeah?"
Xiao Ying nods and shows his pinkie finger. Yu Mo smiles with questioning face.
"I will promise Gege that I won't let you down."
"Okay, then."
Yu Mo wraps his pinkie finger to Xiao Ying's.
"Okay, I'm going now." Yu Mo takes his bag."You rest."
"I want to see Gege off!"
Yu Mo smiles and Xiao Ying just realizes that Yu Mo has dimples showing when he smiles.
"Okay."
The deal makes Xiao Ying feels giddy and excited.
