When Channing was hack, Stella was laughing and chatting with Sherry. Her smile frozen immediately as she turned around to find his clothes were dirty and there were bruises on his face. She strode to him and frowned, “Chan, what happened to you?”

Channing tilted his head, “Nothing. Only minor injuries. It doesn’t matter.”

“It matters. You didn’t look like this way when you left. Tell me the truth. Where have you been?”

Sherry came to join Stella, “Right, Chan, what happened to you? Come on.”

Stella’s frown grew deeper and she felt something bad happened, “Did you ….”

Channing said in a calm voice, “I just had a fight with my classmates. It’s not serious as you think.”

“Why did you fight with your classmates?”

Channing seemed not want to talk about it, “Just a fight, no reasons.”

Stella didn’t believe him and tried to say something, but Sherry stopped her, “It’s fine. Fight is common between young men. You don’t worry. He is a grownup and he knows what he is doing.”

Sherry touched Channing as she said, “Don’t stand here. Go and have your injuries treated, or they will become inflamed.”

“Ok.”

Channing turned and entered the back staff room.

Sherry touch Stella with her elbow, “You are still worried?”

Stella shook her head, “I think Chan didn’t tell the truth.”

Channing was not an impulsive person who would fight with classmates out of small conflicts.

And when he left the studio, his expression showed that he was going to do something important.

Sherry explained, “Chan didn’t tell you the truth because he don’t want you to worry you. He come back safe and sound, so everything is alright.”

Stella breathed a sigh of relief, “I hope so.”

After a while, the staff room was opened.

Channing was sterilizing his wounds with a swab. He put down the sab when he saw Stella showed up at the door, “I really fine.”

Stella came to sit beside the sofa and took a band-aid to cover his wound, “Fighting with classmates is big deal. Why don’t you explain it?”

Channing pressed his lips in silence.

“You do this once and once only.”

“Got it.”

Stella added, “I’ll leave for Aqock tomorrow night. I’ll be back in two or three days. You’d better find a new house and move out from Daniel’s house.”

Channing understood what Stella mean. He was quiet for a while and then said, “I don’t think he did it on purpose.”

“Whatever. It is past and it’s meaningless to keep talking about it. I simply think you should keep staying at his house and bothering him. What’s more, as you can see, nothing happened to my place recently.”

Channing nodded, “I’ll move tomorrow.”

Stella got up, “Find a new house first. I’ll transfer the money ….”

Channing interrupted her and said in a serious voice, “I got money.”

Stella smiled, “Fine, I’ll leave it to you.”

When she was about to leave, Channing asked abruptly, “How’s it going between you and Emmett?”

“What?”

“You said you wanted to give it a try, so how’s it going now?”

Stella paused for a few seconds and then answered, “You are right. I don’t like him, so it’s meaningless to try it.”
