(Just few hours, how did things become like this)
Next day morning, funeral was held
Very few old friends of her dad came
Fewer business related people and blood relatives came as no one wish to get involved in investment fraud cases
Half-filled suitcases lay open on the floor
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*packing clothes*
Huo Meng (FL's mom)
*sitting in the living room, knees drawn up, eyes blank*
Huo Meng (FL's mom)
*hadn’t said a word since waking up in hospital*
When the doorbell rang, Xiao Yang didn’t expect anything
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*standing on the other side of the door*
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*slightly out of breath, a school bag slung across her shoulder*
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*open door*
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*hug her instantly*
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*voice breaks, tears running down her cheeks*
Nian Nian
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*pat her back*
I am here
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*feel heartache*
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*hold her hand and step inside*
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*carefully look around the house*
Pack your stuff
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
My apartment’s small, but you’re coming with me
Xiao Yang didn’t move at first
Her body wouldn’t respond
She stared at her friend, then down at the floor
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*hug her*
Xiao Yang!
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*burst into loud sobs*
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
Listen to me, okay?
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*free herself from hug, nods*
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*gently wipe hear tears*
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*bow down*
Thank you
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
Aye! Little things like this, you don’t have to be so polite!
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*voice cracked*
I didn’t know what to do
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
I didn’t even know where we’d go
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*pat her back*
That’s why I came before you had to ask
In Evening, Nian Nian’s Apartment, Living Room
The room was small and quiet
A faint breeze came through the window
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*voice low*
So.... What now?
Xiao Yang didn’t answer right away
She stared aimlessly, eyes tired
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
Everything's gone
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
Jewelry, furniture, paintings, stocks... All of it.
Xue Nian (FL's bestie)
*rested her chin on her hand*
And it's still not enough?
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
*shook her head*
Li Xiao Yang (FL)
I still owe three hundred million
