CHAPTER 170

"Okay. So what about the other two female friends?"

"Yeah those two female friends has passed on so literally, I have no female friend," he shrugged his shoulder.

"Oh my. I am sorry for asking. My condolences," she said softly.

"It is alright. It has been really long. It does not shake me that much," he smiled lightly.

The room suddenly became quiet. None of them spoke. On one hand is Ye Chaoxiang, searching for a topic of discussion to talk about so that he does not come off as a boring guy. And on the other hand, is Ning Xiaozhi feeling sorry for inquiring about his female friends.

But deep down in her heart, she was happy that she is his only female friend. She felt giddy by just the thought of it. Sigh. She had a lot to tell her best friend, Bai Renxiang.

"Ahem! So why don't we talk about... us. I mean about ourselves. Since we are friends now, we should at least get to know about each other," Ye Chaoxiang suggested. 

"But of course. It does not have to personal stuff if it will make you uncomfortable," he added.

"Yeah no problem," Ning Xiaozhi readily agreed.

"I have been dying to ask you a question since that night you saved me," she started.

"Okay. Shoot."

"Where did you learn how to fight like that?" She dropped the question.

At first, Ye Chaoxiang was dumbfounded. When she said she had been dying to ask him a question, he expected it to be more... like intense or serious or just anything other than what she just asked. He did not know when he laughed out loud.

"What? Why are you laughing? I do not remember saying anything funny," she asked but she herself had a smile on her face. His smile was mesmerizing and infectious as well.

"Nothing. I am sorry about that. It is just that I was not expecting that question," he apologized and also leaned on the table like her.

"Well I had a teacher that thought me when I was growing up. So," he shrugged his shoulder.

"Oh I see. That is cool," she nodded her head. Then the waiter wheeled in their food abde placed them all on the table for them before he left. Then they started eating.

"So I guess you lived like all those rich kids in the society," she said after taking a sip from the glass of wine.

"What do you mean by 'all those rich kids'?" He stopped what he was doing and looked at her in question.

"Hey do not get me wrong. From the little that I have known of you being a doctor, have rich friends and have a teacher for martial arts, you must be the son of a rich family. I just wanted to ask to be clarified," she defended.

"Sigh. Well you are correct. But I am not like other spoiled rich kids. Me and my friends are totally different."

"What about you? From the way you carry yourself, I can partially tell that your family is well to do" He asked.

"Well my family is well to do. But they can only be recognized in ," she answered.

"Do not tell me that you are the rebellious type that likes to be away from family."

"That is exactly what I am. But it is not that I like to be away from family. My mother makes me want to be away. She is the controlling type. The one always wants to control other people's life."

"Wow. Your mum seems a bit tough."

"Yeah very tough. But my dad is a mother hen and a sweetheart." She said with. a wife smile on her face highlighting her beauty and enchanting Ye Chaoxiang.

"That means you are daddy's princess," he said and placed a sliced piece of meat in his mouth and chewed.

"Yeah you can say that. Are you daddy's champ or mummy's baby?" She asked in amusement.

"I am not too sure which one. But I know that my dad adores my sister and respects me. Let us just say that I am not daddy's champ. My mum is the same. Only that because she is a mother she tends to love us extremely," then he paused.

"So I am neither. Sounds boring right?" He smiled.

"Not really. You are a guy so it ys ubderstandable if you are not mummy's baby or daddy's champ. But, I am trying to get a clear picture of your parents especially your dad," she said as she adjusted her position. She rested one of her elbow on the table to support her jaw.

"My dad?!"

"Yeah your dad? From what you said, I was wondering f he would me strict or soft. You understand what I am trying to say right?"

"Yeah I do. I look like my dad and my mum. They told me that when I was still in my mother's womb, my father me to look like my mum andy mum wanted a boy that would look like her husband. So when the both of them prayed and God made me look like the both of them," he explained. Ning Xiaozhi burst out in laughter. 

"God is truly fair. He gave them both what they wanted," she said between her laughter.

"Yeah. But then my sister turned out to look like my mother. Almost everything about her is like my mum. Her jolliness, her face and her behaviour. But she gets angry, she takes after my dad," Ye Chaoxiang said after wiping his lips with the napkin, indicating that he was done eating.

"Hmm. Your family is nice," she said with a little tinge of sadness in her eyes and Ye Chaoxiang being as keen as he is, noticed it.

"You know what? Family talks are starting to bore me out.. I want to know about my friend Xiaozhi," he quickly changed the topic to lighten her mood.
