206 Possessive and Petty!
“Hi, Mr Class Representative, ” An Xiulan teased her brother as soon as he came with his friends. She was sitting in the cafeteria with her friends when Lu Xuan and his friends arrived.
Lu Xuan, of course, rolled his eyes.
“Shouldn’t you be minding your own business, Miss China?” Lu Xuan retorted.
An Xiulan smiled silly as she clutched her heart dramatically. “You know when you all call me Miss China, it does something to my heart.”
“You should get your heart checked, “Lu Xuan responded. “I heard palpitations are the first sign of a heart attack.”
An Xiulan gasped. “Lu Xuan! Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m just speaking your language, Miss Nonsense, “Lu Xuan replied with a huff.
“Both of you, will you stop bickering?” Gu Shangyan pulled the seat for himself and sat between the twins. Even at home, he sat between the twins because nobody knew they would start bickering and he always acted as a mediator and negotiator between the two of them.
One day, both of them began fighting with each other using their chopsticks. This happened at the dining table. After that, both of them were punished by An Qinyan. Gu Shangyan felt bad when he had delicious dishes and the twins got simple congee for dinner.
Yes, one could just understand from the punishment how intense the fight between the two of them could get.
Lu Xuan and An Xiulan harrumphed and focused on their plate. After a moment, when he saw how An Xiulan was putting sweet and sour pork ribs on Han Zixin’s plate who was eating without making any sounds, Gu Shangyan complained.
“Crybaby, how did you get sweet and sour pork ribs? It’s not in the Cafeteria menu, “Gu Shangyan said, swallowing. He felt an unreasonable amount of jealousy. How could she share with this boy but not with him?
“You should know by now that he always gets special treatment, “Lu Xuan provoked the mediator.
An Xiulan didn’t reply to them. She had to appease her best friend more. What if Ji Mao’er stole him? Ji Mao’er already had a history of stealing. She didn’t want to experience the same with him!
“After lunch, we will share the sweets I received from my fans, “An Xiulan cutely said. “You know I have a strict diet. I can’t consume much sugar but you can eat in my stead and savour the delicious and sweet chocolates and candies. Surprisingly, those sweets taste better than Ji Mao’er chocolate.”
She was trying her best to hide her jealousy. What if he found out that she was unreasonably possessive of him and he started getting away from her? This can’t happen!
“What’s happening between the two of them?” Lu Xuan whispered in Shen Yue’s ear who just shrugged.
As An Xiulan’s bestie, she knew what was happening with An Xiulan but she could not share it with anyone. After all, Shen Yue had some girl codes to abide by.
She had been trying to make her understand that it was normal for best friends to feel jealous and possessive sometimes. Han Zixin doted on An Xiulan like her brothers and she had all right to feel attacked when Ji Mao’er entered the picture. For some reason, Han Zixin always talked more with Ji Mao’er than he had talked with any other girl in the class.
Every morning Ji Mao’er would wish him good morning and he would wish him back with a small smile. She would offer him food items and he would accept them too.
All these things were troubling An Xiulan a lot.
Lu Xuan sneaked a piece of pork rib from her plate but she swatted his hand away like a fly.
“Don’t be so stingy, “Lu Xuan grumbled.
“I brought lunch from home. Mom, packs for you two too, “An Xiulan retorted. “It’s your fault that you always leave your tiffin at home to eat outside. Go. Go. Bring your own tiffin from tomorrow.”
“Then, why are you sharing lunch with him?” Gu Shangyan asked. “Isn’t it unfair?”
“How is it unfair?” An Xiulan asked her brothers. “Yeye doesn’t want to hire other house help in place of the one who served them for years just because she went to her town for a week. How will my best friend wake up early in the morning to cook for him and then pack his lunch? He can only prepare food for Yeye in a hurry. Someone has to take care of my best friend too. So, why should I let anyone take care of you when I’m right here?”
Han Zixin who was eating his lunch quietly raised his eyes to look at his best friend who was suddenly so sweet that he felt something was not right. However, he chose not to comment on this topic and focused on eating again. He was eating the most delicious food in the world. How could he say no to it?
“Why did you never bother if I had eaten or not?” Lu Xuan raised his brow at his sister. How could she ask their neighbours about food but not her twin?
“Exactly, “Gu Shangyan butted in. Who cared if he had an image to maintain? When it came to his only and only sister both of them were shameless! It was not that he was cold and apathetic. It was just that he grew up alone without any siblings or any other family members. It was just him and his alone living in this world.
Now that he found a mother in An Qinyan and younger siblings in Lu Xuan and An Xiulan, he wanted to spoil them, fight with them, bicker with them and love them a lot.
The three of them were connected because of their parents but they enjoyed a very beautiful and unique relationship with each other.
They wouldn’t agree but they were not little but hugely possessive of each other.
Not just possessive they were petty too when it came to each other.
