บท 168: By the river

"Yes, big boy, the earthquake has gone. Come now get up," I said with a gentle laughter, as I really couldn't believe what a giant baby he had turned into. It was hard to believe that this was the same person a few days ago who had maturely handled my rejection towards him. I wondered how funny it would have been to handle Channing if we had been together and someday he just came home drunk. 

The moment that thought passed through my mind, my body froze. Channing gave me his hand, and I pulled him up.

My feet slowly turned around to look at Fang, who was blazing in his anger because he had read my thought just now. Even though very recently I had come to know that Fang could read memories, I knew that Fang was always inside my mind.
