134 I think of you
“It’s your time to pick the truth or dare, ” A boy looked at her with a red face and said in a sweet voice. “Also, you are very pretty and you always look pretty. Even when you are sweaty and smelly after running practice.”
Han Zixin and Lu Xuan quickly gazed up to look at the boy who had spoken. They quickly recalled his face in their mental dairy. They had fixed their target. This pervert who gazed at smelly and sweaty girls needed to be taught a lesson.
“Oh, ” An Xiulan scratched her head. Since she was so comfortable in her warm spot, she didn’t wish to move. So, she chose the truth.
“What was your last thought?” Someone asked her.
It was an easy question for her. She had expected something bomb-blasting and earth-shattering.
“It was how hungry I’m that I could even eat a Lion right now,” An Xiulan replied with an innocent look on her face and everyone began laughing.
“Beauty An is so funny, “Someone commented.
“Isn’t our campus Belle too amusing?” Another person commented.
“Ah, what a delightful company she is. We never get bored of her ways to entertain us.” A girl said. “If I was a guy I would have married her and made her my princess.”
“I’m already a princess, “An Xiulan muttered.
“A princess with a tiara, “Someone else said.
“I will get my own tiara one day, “An Xiulan muttered as she didn’t like to be a subject of others’ amusement. If she was beautiful, not adorable, she would be taken seriously. If she didn’t have such a baby face, all of them would take her seriously.
“Since she replied to the answer, move on!” Han Zixin announced as he could sense her unhappiness.
The audience grumbled as their means of entertainment was taken by a tyrant ruler and they began spinning the bottle.
This time the bottle was directed at Han Zixin.
“Big boss Han, you can’t choose the truth. The game is getting boring with truths. A man with a tiger heart such as you must choose dare or are you afraid of darkness?” A daring girl said in a meek voice.
“Nonsense! My best friend is a real tiger. He is not afraid of petty things such as darkness and ghosts, “An Xiulan announced. “Right, Cheat Prince?”
Han Zixin, who had a very complicated look on his face, nodded his head as he gulped his fear down. He wasn’t afraid of world war three but he was afraid of darkness and ghosts…
“He chooses dare!” An Xiulan said with a duh. When the audience didn’t look convincing, she added, “His and my words are one. If I’m telling you that my words are his, then it’s true. Or you all wanna see my name on his house deeds?”
He prayed in his heart that the dare had nothing to do with darkness.
‘Little blockhead, as much as your words sound so good to hear, the consequences you bring are not so good. Can you please go easy on me sometimes?’
“So, the dare is…”
Everyone looked at Han Zixin as they awaited them to announce the dare. Even the ever-so-detached Lu Xuan from the mortal world had his attention on his mortal enemy.
“Big Boss Han will sing a song!”
The crowd exclaimed in excitement. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
This dare was even scary for Han Zixin. He didn’t want to sing the song but if he didn’t An Xiulan’s image would be affected. She had proudly announced before everyone that her best friend had a heart of a tiger. If he backed out now wouldn’t he be a chicken and she would be proved a liar?
“Big Boss Han, even if you can’t complete the dare, you can say so. We will not force you to write our homework, “The girl kindly said with a smile. But her smile was kind of pricking An Xiulan.
An Xiulan didn’t know why but she had an urge to scratch the girl’s cat-like face.
“Cheat prince, sing. Even if you sing out of tune, we won’t mind. But you can’t let them be gloating at your defeat, “An Xiulan whispered as she held his arm.
Han Zixin grabbed her hand and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he cleared his throat. Everyone was stifling their laughter at his misfortune.
But as he opened his mouth to say the first line, a hush dawned upon them as they looked at him with wide eyes.
“When I walk down a road I don’t know well
And I’m full of scare and doubt
I think of you, I think of you.”
Song Xueyun was looking at Han Zixin in awe. She had heard from Han Nanxian that his brother could play a few instruments but she had never heard that the same little brother could sing too!
“And when life shuts me down and there’s no way to win
Sometimes I just wanna cry
I think of you, I think of you.”
The hushed atmosphere grew warm and sweet as his melodious and velvety voice stirred something in their heart and the teenagers stood up to dance slowly to his tunes.
He didn’t need any instrument to play with the song to make the surroundings romantic, his voice was lethal!
Was he the same school tyrant who teachers said had no future?
If big boss Han entered the entertainment industry, he was bound to make people crazy over his voice!
An Xiulan stared at him like a fool when he sang, the line:
“When you called my name, I can see the light
Guiding me home like the stars in the night
I’ve already known, I’ve already know
I’m lost without your arms around me.”
He sang the last line in a soft tone and the dancing students burst into claps.
Throughout the entire song, Song Xueyun’s eyes were on Lu Xuan who was looking at the talented rival of his.
