The Life of Orphans - Chapter 38

In the morning, there was a loud knock on Cyndi's room door.

Cyndi: Who's that? (Went to open her door)

Voice: Surprise! Didn't expect to see me, right?

Cyndi: Hebe! Why are you here? There's still a long way before school reopens.

Hebe: I missed you.

Cyndi: Oh really? Or you missed someone...

Hebe: No! I missed you.

Cyndi: I doubted that.

Hebe: Ok fine. I came back because my parents were going on a business trip. I'm allowed to
follow but that's boring. I can't just stay at home alone so I decided to come back earlier than
usual.

Cyndi: Oh, ok. You came back the wrong time. Jason is working now.

Hebe: So?

Cyndi: Are you sure you sure not back because of him?

Hebe: I regretted telling you this.

Cyndi: Chill. Just kidding. Boredom could make someone go nuts.

Hebe: Then I didn't come back on the wrong time after all.

Cyndi: Why?

Hebe: Let's go out together.

Cyndi: Really? Oh good. Let's get going!

Hebe: Are you really that bored?

Cyndi: I am. Don't waste time. Let's go! (Pull Hebe's arm)

Hebe: Alright, alright. I can walk, thank you.

Hebe and Cyndi went to the nearest shopping complex and started shopping until its lunch time.
They went to a restaurant and have their lunch.

Hebe: So, how are you doing lately?

Cyndi: Nothing much. Eat, sleep, walk, talk.....

Hebe: Don't crap. Who don't do those things?

Cyndi: But that's what I did during the holidays.

Hebe: I mean anything special happened?

Cyndi: Me or someone else?

Hebe: Will you stop that?

Cyndi: ok, ok. Well, as you've known, Zax had found his family.

Hebe: Oh, yes. I forgot about that. How are they doing now?

Cyndi: Fine. They get along well.

Hebe: That's good news.

Cyndi: Yup. There's another thing about Zax.

Hebe: What's that?

Cyndi: He's now with Rainie.

Hebe: Rainie Yang?

Cyndi: Yup. The one from the school volleyball team.

Hebe: I didn't know that he was after her.

Cyndi: I didn't know either. Maybe it's just fate.

Hebe: What about him?

Cyndi: I thought you won't ask. Him? Ummm... working, as usual. Quiet, as usual. He is just too
quiet to have anything special happening to him.

Hebe: Then while he is working, does he.... ummmm.... you know.

Cyndi: Know what? How am I supposed to know if you don't speak it out?

Hebe: Well, he..... Anyone?

Cyndi: who?

Hebe: Ok, fine. Did he like.... go out with any other girls?

Cyndi: Yup.

Hebe: What?! Who?

Cyndi: Me.

Hebe: You! (Knocks Cyndi's head.)

Cyndi: Ouch! That hurts. You should have seen your face.

Hebe: Haha. Very funny.

Cyndi: Ok, ok. I'll be serious. As I told you, he's a stick! He doesn't really have the courage to talk
to anyone that he doesn’t know apart from his customers, of course but that is just official
business.

Hebe: What about the ones he knew?

Cyndi: You mean me?

Hebe: No! Not you, other girls that he knows.

Cyndi: He doesn’t really dare to talk to anyone especially girls. Too shy.

Hebe: That means you don't know what kind of girls he likes?

Cyndi: Not really. But I can find out if you want to.

Hebe: I'm not so sure about this.

Cyndi: Don't worry, he won't know. The secret is safe with me.

Hebe: Hah! It's you whom I worry.
