A happy family reunion is not something that happens every day. But when it did, it leaves a feeling of being complete. And that’s what Xu Mey felt at the moment seeing her father and her brother having a heart-to-heart while she just sat at the side.

Not even for a second, her heart could feel that they were missing something or perhaps... someone. Because in her life, whatever place a mother could hold wasn’t there. There was no such thing as a daughter’s love for her mother... At the very least not for an absent mother.

She decided to leave her father and brother alone while she made her way back towards Jie’s room.

Inside Jie’s room...

"What do you mean by there is a shark behind the fish?" Jie was feeling frustrated since someone really loved using codewords. "Do you really mean there is another mastermind behind it all?" He questioned with his one hand holding the phone to his ear while the other hand was pinching the space between his brows.

He heard the sound of breathing through the mouth accompanied by, "Phew! That was hot!"

"Ru’er! What are you doing?" Jie asked again through gritted teeth. "Don’t tell me you are busy eating right now!" He was holding onto his anger with much difficulty.

"Yeah, I am! Wooo, this is yummy!" He had the urge to get in the phone to strangle her right now.

"I thought you are going to catch a shark," he still tried to talk civilly which wasn’t proving to be easy at all.

He heard her sniffling her nose as if she was eating something spicy and then heard her answer, "Look, bro, I was on my way to catch the shark but you see, on my way, an octopus caught my eyes. I was fascinated by it and decided to cut it open and stir fry it. It tastes better than I thought it would."

Some people have a way with words and Ru was one of those people. She mostly had a double meaning of her simple words. If anyone would hear her words they might take it the wrong way but Jie obviously not just anyone.

With a deep breath, he asked, "You are at a stall eating stir-fried octopus." It wasn’t a question. No, no, it was a statement. A fact!

"Mm-hmm. It is super delicious. Wanna try? I’ll bring it to you." She offered courteously.

Jie gave a mocking laugh before saying, "Are you sure you’ll leave enough to bring it to me? Because as much I know you, by the time you’ll be done with eating, there won’t be anything left to bring."

"No need to be so grumpy about it." He could tell she must be rolling her eyes. "In any case, you are sick and not allowed to eat spicy food. So, forget the offer."

"Are you going to keep stalling for time?" Jie sounded impatient.

"Geez! You’re no fun anymore my friend." Ru lamented before sighing and said, "Could you please relax and leave the rest to me? I know you have a lot of questions. Just wait till midnight."

"Why midnight?"

"JieJie, let me offer you a tip... You better keep your eyes open tonight." With that, he heard the phone disconnecting leaving him frowning.

"Why is she so difficult and twisted?" Jie grumbled to himself and saw Xu Mey entering the room with a full-blown smile plastered on her face. His expression immediately softened up at the sight of her and he asked, "What got my baby so happy?"

Xu Mey looked up at him and took slow steps towards him. "Why? Can’t I be happy?"

"Of course you can. All I want to see is your happiness but I’m just wondering what’s making you happy right now?"

Xu Mey sat by his bedside and immediately divulged into relating the whole story of meeting her mother and finding a brother. And Jie who was thinking that his best friend is twisted suddenly felt like they all have a twisted fate and unexpected families.
