141 Scandalous
When Han Zixin looked at An Xiulan he was rendered speechless. He knew that she was a pretty girl but to this extent…
He had this dire urge to hide her from the world and whoever dared to look at her with malice in their eyes, he would poke their eyes out.
“Ouch,” Han Zixin winced when someone poked a finger into his eyes. He was rubbing his eyes which were burning like hell. “Who the hell wants to die?”
“You look at my sister with those googly eyes of yours and I will poke them out, ” Lu Xuan threatened as he looked at Han Zixin with an attitude.
“Motherf*cker!” Han Zixin cursed. “Weren’t you the same person who said he didn’t want a sister like her? She didn’t give a shit about you. So, scram!”
“You cheap loafer, ” Lu Xuan said in a languid voice. “We share the same womb. We can fight with words and knives. What does this have to do with you? At the end of the day, she will be my sister and you will be an outsider.”
Han Zixin just stared at someone who has the face of a monkey but the attitude of a peacock. If the dog barks, it doesn’t mean he has to bark back!
“Xueyun, let’s go. Teacher is asking us to hurry up, ” An Xiulan said.
“Aren’t you coming with Han Zixin?” Song Xueyun asked, confused. “You stick to him all the time. Did you two fight?”
“Yes, and he didn’t coax me. How can I go to hold his hand without him coaxing me back?” An Xiulan said as he placed her hand on her waist. “After all, I have self-respect. Until the moment he doesn’t call me big sister, I will keep sulking.”
Song Xueyun looked at An Xiulan and sighed. “Dream on.”
Han Zixin gave a mocking grin to Lu Xuan before languid walking and stopped when he reached An Xiulan. “Here, take this. I don’t have any more. If the teacher saw you holding a bubble tea cartoon, he would snatch it.”
An Xiulan was ready to ignore Han Zixin but when she saw him handing her favourite bubble tea, she postponed the ignoring for a moment.
“You look very gorgeous, “Han Zixin truthfully said. “And why won’t you look gorgeous? After all, you are my Miss Universe.”
Fine, she was a sucker for compliments. She forgot that she was angry at him or was sulking as a big smile tugged at her lips. Holding his hand and placing her head on his shoulder, she drank her bubble tea real quick before she was caught by any teacher and after finishing it, she put the empty cartoon in his bag.
“Should we walk together?” An Xiulan asked him, blinking her big eyes.
“Sure,” Han Zixin said with a smile but his gaze was on a boy who was probably planning his murder.
‘I went overboard, didn’t I?’ Han Zixin asked himself as he walked ahead holding An Xiulan’s hand. He didn’t want to taunt Lu Xuan but the boy was asking for it. For months, he never knew why Lu Xuan hated him and announced that both of them were eternal enemies when the school started.
It was later when he found out that Song Xueyun was very close to Lu Xuan and the latter hated his gut as he had hurt the girl once when he wasn’t in his senses. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
He had almost choked Song Xueyun to death if Han Nanxian hadn’t punched his face. Of course, he regretted it. He regretted it every single time he saw her. In his defence, he wasn’t in his senses. He was fucking high that time on revenge, misery and the sleeping medicine that he was fed.
Whatever happened, he couldn’t change it. But at least, he was sorry for that.
But what was Lu Xuan’s excuse?
Lu Xuan hurt his twin sister with words every single time and made her cry.
She didn’t deserve his hate for no reason.
If he had any problems, he should solve them with his parents and leave his sister alone if he so wanted to hate her.
“I wonder why you became my friend?” Han Zixin couldn’t help but ask.
An Xiulan looked at him and said, “Can I be blunt?”
“Yes, ” Han Zixin nodded.
“You are handsome,” An Xiulan replied without beating around the bush. “You are more handsome than the most handsome man I knew in the past.”
Han Zixin chuckled. “Who is it? Fifth Prince?”
He recalled how she called him Fifth prince when they met for the first time.
An Xiulan smiled widely and nodded her head. “You are even more handsome than the fifth prince.”
After saying that, she hid her face in her palms and giggled.
“Zixin, if you were in ancient times, all those noble ladies would have given their hearts to you,” An Xiulan said.
“Stop, we are the president and vice-president of the puppy love committee,” Han Zixin reminded her. It sounded too wrong to be in a relationship. They were kids after all.
“Hihihi, I’m being serious here. In ancient times, a sixteen years old girl was supposed to be married. They even had babies at such a young age,” An Xiulan told him.
“I don’t care, I would still be your best friend even if we were in ancient times,” Han Zixin said with a shrug.
“Ah, being friends with a man at that time was called scandalous,” An Xiulan said. “Apparently, if a boy even talked to an unmarried noblewoman, people would start talking about them. Oftentimes, because of these rumours, girls have to marry those boys even if they weren’t at fault.”
“You talk like you have been there,” Han Zixin said. “We never saw that era with our own eyes. We don’t know what is true and what is false. Maybe, those are only the passing truths.”
“Fine, if it keeps your boat afloat, ” An Xiulan muttered.
