Chapter 6 - 6. Depressed

5 years later.

Leo was in his room with a gloomy expression. He looked to be around the age of 17, but he was actually 15.

Have you considered my proposal, Qin Cheng? A voice asked.

I don't think I can accept it. A sweet voice replied. It was Qin Cheng.

Sigh, I won't force you. Please think about it carefully, for Leo's sake. By the way, is he around? The voice said.

Yes, he's upstairs. Qin Cheng replied.

Okay.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

When Leo heard the sound of footsteps approaching, he tried his best to put on a calm expression. As he put a book in front of him with a serious face.

Leo, are you in there?

Yes, come on in. He replied in haste. The door was pushed open as a handsome man walked in with a kind smile on his face as usual. He was Mr. Hu.

Sorry for the disturbance Leo, I just wanted to say Hi. Mr. Hu said as he came closer.

I have no problem with that, and thanks. Leo said.

Haha, Leo no need to thank me. How about this, we go out and have some fun. Mr. Hu said with a grin. I'm sorry but I have exams tomorrow. So I can't come. Leo said with a look of apology.

Haah, Mr. Hu sighed, as he patted his head, I forgot. He said with regret, but a gloomy look was hidden on his face. I will be on my way then, he said before walking out.

Okay,I won't send you off then. Leo replied.

Boom.

The door was closed shut. After he left, Leo lifted his head from his book, his expression was gloomier than ever, as he clenched his fist. If not for the accident, we wouldn't have owed you. Why don't you just give up? He muttered.

Mr. Hu has been taking care of him and his mother for the past 5 years, even sponsoring his education to the highest level in Jeyu city so he doesn't have to pay any fees. Even though he wasn't happy when he found out about this and had suspicions, seeing Mr. Hu trying to win his mother's heart, what could he do, his mother has been lonely for several years now. Anytime he heard his mother denied Mr. Hu's proposal he felt relieved. But one thing was for sure, Mr. Hu will not just stop pestering his mom. For 5 years he never stopped.

This troubled Leo that he almost went crazy. If not for his mother telling him not to take things into his own hands he would have warned Mr. Hu. And labeled him with the crime of harassment. But what made things worse was finally happening. Now, he has a feeling that his mother was falling in love with Mr. Hu which caused him to be even more depressed.

Sigh, what's wrong with me. Mom should have a life of her own right. I just don't like this guy, something makes me not to. Leo thought to himself. It just doesn't feel right. Forget it. He came to a conclusion as he went back to his book, but how could he forget about it.
