332 Answer to his question
Even right now, they were standing in the middle of the crowded bar, he said something in her ear and she looked at him with wide eyes and a moment later, her lips tugged to form a smile. The same smile was reflected in his eyes.
It was just this simple…if one of them was having a bad day, the other one had to just smile and it was enough to brighten up the dark mood.
“Let me introduce you both to other classmates that just came, “Shen Yue said, holding Lu Xuan’s arm. She was kind of dragging him from there to let An Xiulan and Han Zixin get some time together.
“What about Teeny?” Lu Xuan asked. His gaze was still set on Han Zixin and An Xiulan.
Shen Yue laughed at his actions. “Really, Lu Xuan? Do you think she will pay attention to anyone right now? She is with Han Zixin. The world around her fades away for her while he is with her. The same is the case with Han Zixin. You will find both of them whispering to each other even after an hour.”
“Do you think my sister is dating him?” Lu Xuan wondered out loud.
“Why not ask her?” Shen Yue said.
“She just returned home. If I offended her and she decided to go back… I will not take any risk, ” Lu Xuan shared his fear. “I will rather keep my questions to myself and have her live here with all of us than go back to Boston.”
“You don’t mind her dating him?” Shen Yue ended up asking the question.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath as he pondered for a moment. “You know I don’t want a boy to steal my sister from me. Although we fight all the time, we still are close. That’s how we bond with each other. With snarks and spats. I never actually feared anything but her dating a man who would take her away from us. This boy is still safe. At least, she will stay in China if she dated him. Moreover, he understands her value in our life and he wouldn’t pull out a stunt like throwing us away from her life… Moreover, it is up to her whoever she dates. We can only support her and give her advice when she wants it. She is no longer sixteen.”
Wang Yuxi had an urge to clap loudly but then he recalled that his best friend just gave his mortal enemy the blessing to steal his Queen. Why did Lu Xuan have to make sense at the wrong time?
“You have matured, “Gu Shangyan said with an amused laugh. “If she heard what you just said, she would still beat you.”
Shen Yue burst into laughter. “He can give her the world and she will still beat him. In front of others, they are nice to each other but if you leave two of them alone, you won’t find both alive. I sometimes wonder how you and An Xiulan have so much to fight?”
p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 Lu Xuan didn’t answer because even he had no answer for this question.
“How about we dance?” An Xiulan asked Han Zixin as she looked at him with a silly look on her face. Her cheeks were flushed and her body doe eyes were softened.
“No, “Han Zixin quickly said.
“Why not?” An Xiulan asked him. “I want to dance.” She tried to stand up and wriggle her butt but he caught her wrist and pulled her back to sit on the stool.
“You are drunk, “Han Zixin said as a matter of fact.
“I only have three drinks! How can I get drunk?” An Xiulan said, glaring at him. She patted her rosy cheeks and said angrily, “Cheat Prince….”
Han Zixin sighed. He placed a glass of cold water in front of her and asked her to drink it. “Drink this. It will help you with a hangover.”
“I’m not drunk, “An Xiulan said while slurring as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked like a cute willful smile.
“If you drink this, I will dance with you, “Han Zixin whispered in her ear.
She smiled widely at him and drank a glass of lemon water in one go. “Now dance…”
“No!” Han Zixin replied as he adjusted on the chair again.
“You lied to me!” An Xiulan pointed her finger at him.
“You lied to me too!” Han Zixin shrugged.
“When?” An Xiulan blinked her eyes and asked in a soft tone. “I have never lied to you.”
“You did, “Han Zixin said. “Remember that time in the airport…”
An Xiulan quickly placed her palm on his lips and shook her head. “You promised that you will never talk about that topic. You said you will give me time.”
“I said I will give you a month but it has been more than a month already, “Han Zixin said. “Do you know how difficult you have been making things for me? I’m not supposed to talk about the topics because you said you need time. I gave you time but you still pretend as if you don’t understand a thing but I know that you know what’s going on with us.”
“I’m your best friend, “An Xiulan whispered.
Han Zixin cupped her cheek and whispered back, “I never said you are not. You will always be my best friend no matter what!”
An Xiulan blinked her eyes. “What do you want to know?”
“The answer to my question, “Han Zixin said as he met her forehead with his.
An Xiulan quickly closed her eyes and put her hands on her lips. “I’m drunk. I’m drunk. I’m drunk.”
Han Zixin rolled his eyes and chuckled. “Fine, little blockhead.” He didn’t force her anymore because she was not ready and if he could wait seven years…he could wait another seven days…right?
“I know what are you thinking, ” An Xiulan said with a silly smile.
“What am I thinking?” He raised his brow.
“About how pretty I’m, ” She giggled and he felt his heart swelling with happiness.
“En, “He nodded his head.
