“If you want me to leave, tell me to leave and I will go, “Han Zixin said, staring down at her. The woman was going to be the death of him. Where was the cute and obedient girl that he had befriended once upon a time? No, he didn’t recognise this one at all. Maybe, he did. However, he would very much like to meet the naive and clueless version of her.

As he was about to leave without her saying, she grabbed his wrist and made him turn to look at him. With her watery big doe eyes, she glared at him. She had the audacity to glare at him when it should be him to get mad at her. However, he was doing no such thing. Instead, it was her trying to provoke him more.

He was not a fool. She intentionally shared the location on her social media. She had known from the start what she was doing yet she was trying to act oblivious right now.

“Where do you think that you are going?” An Xiulan asked him.

“I don’t know, “Han Zixin said in a straight tone. He was so heated right now that he didn’t even know what he was doing or thinking. Both of them knew that Wang Yuxi was a big flirt yet she was out with that man on a date.

Wasn’t she intentionally provoking him?

Then, again it was her life and she was free to do whatever she wanted to do. He should leave but where would he go?

She was the closest person to him. If he left her what would become of him then? He dared not to think about a life without her in it. It may sound sappy to hear that he didn’t dare to imagine his life without her in it.

All the time when she was in Boston, she was closer to him. They were always texting and calling each other. They knew everything about each other. The distance never separated them, it was just the confession that drew a line between them and now crossing that line every time made both of them awkward with each other.

“You can’t leave, “An Xiulan said with an attitude, crossing her arms over her chest.



“Why not?” He asked, raising his brow, crossing his arms over his chest and standing straight.

“Because I will break your legs and tie you to me if you try to leave, “An Xiulan threatened him.

“Now you are resorting to violence, “Han Zixin mentioned. “Did you forget you are an attorney?”

“You can arrest me every time, “An Xiulan smiled, raising her hand in a handcuffed motion, making him snort.

“Do you know you are a little crazy?” Han Zixin asked with a sigh. “You say one thing but you do another. Will you tell me what you want?”

Han Zixin sighed. He gently gripped her chin with his finger and made her look at him. In a very gentle voice, he said, “Who said we are fighting?”





“We are not?” She asked in a hopeful whisper.

“We are not, “Han Zixin said in a gentle tone. “Did you forget who we are? We are the bestest friends in the world. We don’t fight. We tell our issue and solve it after sulking. You were sulking. You wanted to make me jealous. It worked. I got jealous. I ran here. We completed the quota of arguing and now it’s time to tell your issue and solve it.”

“I hate that you are making sense, “An Xiulan pouted.

It might be bizarre to anyone about how well he knew her. But it was not to them. Sometimes, they would not say anything and yet the other person will know what’s going on in the heart or mind of the other person. Song Xueyun always joked that they both had in-built sensors to sense each other’s mood even from afar.

“Now tell me what’s troubling you?” Han Zixin asked.

“It’s crazy how you know something is troubling me, “An Xiulan sighed.

“Didn’t I say we are soulmates?” Han Zixin said. “Everything comes under the package.”

“The platonic soulmates, “An Xiulan snickered.

“We can be romantic soulmates if you want, “Han Zixin said, half-jokingly.

“Okay, “An Xiulan whispered.

Han Zixin stopped breathing for a moment as he heard what he just said. He looked at her with a wide mouth. He inhaled to form words but nothing came out. Before he could say anything or form any kind of word, she was running from there, leaving him alone.

“Wait! Wait! What did you just say?” Han Zixin shouted from behind, not able to take steps. He didn’t think that he could run after her. Yes, the best athlete in high school was finding it hard to run right now. However, he had to run or he would miss her.

“Nothing!” She laughed, looking back at him.

“Stop right there, “Han Zixin said as he began running after her.

“Stop doing this to me, “He said this again.

An Xiulan laughed. “What did I do?”

“Say that again?” Han Zixin asked.

“Say what? I don’t know what you are talking about, “An Xiulan said, playing the role of a clueless and naive lady.

“Little blockhead, don’t let me catch you, “Han Zixin said, stopping there. “Or…”

“Or what?” An Xiulan stopped far from him and teased again. “What will you do, cheat prince?”

Han Zixin was standing in front of him the next moment and she widened her eyes as she didn’t realize that in just a few seconds he was in front of him. She gasped as he put one of his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him. He used his finger to trace her lips and whispered, “I will do this. I gave you time to run.”

Before she knew it, his lips were on hers.

A/N: I know you missed Xiulan and her crazy world. Oh, I missed her and you guys a lot too. Last month, I was a hectic. Too overwhelming. I don’t have words to describe it. But I can tell you that after going through hell, I’m now in good place. I cleared the entrance test, got admitted into a master course and living the best of all. I was busy, well, I still am but everything is good now.
