"What is it, Xixi?"
"I think it's a mistake that I came to the States," Xixi said in a sobbing voice .
"Calm down, Xixi . Tell me what happened slowly . "
Ever since Huo Mian saw Luna, Huo Mian had become worried about Xixi getting in trouble in New Orleans .
When Rick took over his family business, the time he could spend with her decreased .

Although they had big dreams for their future, the reality was cruel to Xixi . Xixi had thought everything would be like a dream come true, but now she realized that it was very rough on her .
"Mian, I'm in a bad situation right now . . . "
"Xixi, what's wrong? Did you and Rick get into a fight?" Huo Mian thought maybe it was because Rick talked too little because there was no way he could fall for another girl and betray Xixi .
However, it seemed to her that the two miscommunicated and got into a fight with each other .
"No . Rick is really good to me . . . Really really good . . . " Xixi emphasized .

"Then why are you so upset?" Huo Mian whispered in her phone as she carefully chatted with Xixi on WeChat .
"I think I've become a burden to Rick . . . " Xixi sounded very ashamed .
Before Huo Mian responded, Xixi continued her story, "Mian, I thought I didn't mind Rick being a gang leader but when I saw him kill someone with my own eyes and how we have to escape for our lives, that was when I realized that I am afraid of this lifestyle . . . "
"So, are you giving up?" Huo Mian asked .
"No, it's not that . I just want to help Rick get out of this bloody business where he has to lick the blood off the tip of a knife, so we can live an ordinary life . "

"Xixi, you're being naive . That's impossible . "
When Xixi heard Huo Mian's response, she fell into silence . . .
"It might have been possible before Rick's brother became disabled . Ever since Rick returned to America, all the possibilities of living an ordinary life vanished for him . He is now living a life with no turning back . Qin Chu and I went to New Orleans to visit him before and we saw how he lived . It's not that easy to just run away because he has a lot of enemies in the underground world . There's no saying whether he can even survive if he quits . Xixi, everyone has the freedom of choosing how they live . If you really don't like your current lifestyle, you must leave Rick . If you don't want to leave him, then you must face his reality with him . "
"Mian, am I too weak?" Xixi asked in a weak voice .
"No . You were an innocent girl and how you've acted has proved you are a courageous person . "
"Mian, I'm not afraid of my own death but I'm terrified of Rick's death . . . Am I being contradicting? He's still young but he has to live such a life . I love him too much . . . "
"Xixi, have you met Luna?"
The woman who self-proclaims to be Rick's fiancee?" Xixi responded .
Yeah, I've met her soon after coming to the States . That woman is proud and arrogant but was kicked out by Rick . She told her father about me and her father wanted to kill me . When Rick found out, he was very mad . He cut all ties with Luna's family and the two families are at war with each other . Luna's father even got injured so now his family is in a deep rivalry with Rick's . . . That's why I'm a burden to Rick . No one likes me here . They all think I'm bad luck for Rick . If Rick chose to be with Luna, then it'll be better for him . . . Not only am I unable to help him, I'm also creating more trouble for him . Mian, what should I do? I feel so depressed . . . " Xixi started to whimper again .
Huo Mian could tell that Xixi was very depressed or she wouldn't be crying during their WeChat call .
