331 Dramatic
“What’s up with Mingze and Xuan?” Gu Shangyan questioned. He could see the tensions brewing between the two men but he didn’t know what to think about this drama. Neither Lu Xuan told him anything about this nor An Xiulan. As for Lu Mingze, he wasn’t as close to him as Lu Xuan was.
Wang Yuxi was standing alone there with Gu Shangyan. He paused for a moment before saying, “I have heard rumours that Lu Xuan once beat Mingze. I tried asking them but none of them said a word. Just like you, I’m curious about the matter but I won’t ask them. I don’t want them to avoid the friend circle to avoid answering those questions.”
Gu Shangyan nodded his head. “If Lu Xuan wanted to share, he would have done that a long time ago.”
“We can ask Shen Yue but it will be awkward for her, “Wang Yuxi said with a sigh, “In the last year of university, she and Mingze came into a relationship but we don’t know why they broke up after a long time of dating. They were so good together. Maybe, it was because Mingze’s agency was not supportive of his relationship. I heard that they were trying to give him a single idol’s image. His relationship was kept under wraps for so many years and only a few of us knew.”
Gu Shangyan had no idea Shen Yue and Lu Mingze dated in university. He knew that both of them were close friends in college. He never asked An Xiulan about her friend as he wasn’t that close with Shen Yue to discuss their love life. Maybe, the reason why nobody mentioned it was because of Lu Mingze’s profession.
“Hello, Queen, “Wang Yuxi bowed like a gentleman when An Xiulan appeared. He didn’t forget to flirt as soon as he saw her. “Do you ever have a day when you don’t look like a freaking Goddess?”
An Xiulan grinned. She was used to his flirty tone and never took him seriously, “Hi, Yuxi. It’s been so long since I saw you. How are you?”
She and Wang Yuxi talked a few times as he was in the same team as Han Zixin. When they both were in the police academy, he helped her a lot by looking after Han Zixin who never asked for anyone’s help.
“Now that I saw you… I can finally die in peace, “Wang Yuxi commented like a lovesick fool and Gu Shangyan lightly hit his head.
“Stop flirting with my sister, “Gu Shangyan warned him. Although Wang Yuxi’s flirting seemed harmless, he still didn’t like anyone flirting with his sister. Call him narrow-minded but he still felt like beating any boy who looked at his sister with googly eyes.
“I’m professing my undying love to her and you are saying I’m flirting with her?” Wang Yuxi looked offended. “You seriously broke my heart.”
“Dramatic, “An Xiulan mumbled. She was so done with his antics.
Wang Yuxi pouted but continued acting chummy with her. “You should call me Captain Wang now.”
“Oh, I heard you are Captain now, “An Xiulan smiled. “Congratulations.”
“What do you think about marrying me now?” Wang Yuxi questioned but the next moment he saw a dark shadow casting above him. He could not help but turn his head to look at an angry figure and swallowed hard.
“Wang Yuxi, are you courting death?” Lu Xuan growled.
An Xiulan burst into a fit of laughter. “Guys, stop pulling each other’s legs. Lu Xuan, he is just kidding. He knows how to get on your nerves and you let him get successful each time.”
Lu Xuan gave Wang Yuxi a look but the latter just smiled like a good boy.
“How long are you in town?” Lu Xuan questioned.
“A week at most, “Wang Yuxi said.
“Let’s make a plan to hang out. We don’t see each other for months, “Lu Xuan suggested.
“I’m thinking about trekking. What do you suggest?” Wang Yuxi asked.
“Not bad, “Lu Xuan replied. He looked at his brother and sister who were whispering into each other’s ears and he raised his brow when he felt that he was left behind. “What’s up with you two?”
Gu Shangyan and An Xiulan stood straight behaving as if they were not doing anything behind his back.
“Nothing, “Gu Shangyan said, looking anywhere but at him.
“Fuck, “Wang Yuxi muttered and the three of them turned their head to find the newcomer entering the bar. “I didn’t invite him.”
An Xiulan smiled widely. Like a child who had seen an early Christmas gift, she ran towards him. “Hi, you came on time.”
Han Zixin nodded his head with a small smile.

“Who else?” Shen Yue laughed. When she saw Han Zixin coming, she had anticipated the boy’s reaction. Obviously, she knew why Han Zixin came. It was not for any of the classmates but for her.
She added, “When I called him, he said he didn’t have time to attend any gatherings but when she called, he came without wasting any time. The man had his priorities established a long time ago and I wonder why we always forget it?”
“Are you bitter, brother?” Gu Shangyan laughed as he looked at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan mumbled. “Do you think they met after she came to China?”
Gu Shangyan gave him a look that said are you being serious? If An Xiulan didn’t meet Han Zixin the first thing, he would certainly be shocked. It was not a weird sight for them to see An Xiulan and Han Zixin sticking to each other even after all these years.
Actually, it would be weird if they are not sticking to each other. Whenever the two were together, they never cared about anyone around them. It was like they were in their own world with each other and no one else was allowed in that world. The world that solely belonged to them and whenever they were lost in that world, they looked so carefree and happy.
