“Wait. Xueyun. I’m dying.” Lu Xuan shouted in misery. “I’m already dangling in misery. If you leave I will die for sure.”
Song Xueyun stopped in her footsteps.
“Look down. Not on the feet. But down the cliff. I’m dangling. Don’t put your foot on the wet soil,” Lu Xuan further said.
Song Xueyun gasped. “What are you doing there?”
She was looking at Lu Xuan who was holding the cracked branch of a tree.
“Having fun,” Lu Xuan sarcastically said.
“Your definition of having fun is quite questionable,” Song Xueyun replied. “Couldn’t you look for a normal tree if you wanted to do sothing fun?”.
“I’m dying!” Lu Xuan yelled again. “I will fall in the valley and you guys won’t be able to find my broken bones.”
“Stop crying like a baby,” Song Xueyun scolded him. “The valley is not even 10 feet deep. How will you die here?”
“It’s still a very deep valley,” Lu Xuan argued. Was she saying that he couldn’t die here? And the valley is not that deep? Try hanging on a tree for life. She would understand if it was scary or not.
“Ah Xuan, “Song Xueyun called out his na softly. It was as if they were not fighting at all. ” Stop being dramatic, okay?”
“Xueyun, I’m dying,” Lu Xuan said once again.
“You are not,” Song Xueyun said as she extended her hand. “Grab my hand. I will pull you up.”
“I will fall,” Lu Xuan said once again. He was behaving like a coward, but who cared?
“Trust , this once. Will you?” Song Xueyun said softly. “Hold my hand and I will bring you up safely. This is not the first ti you are stuck on a tree. Rember I helped you each ti.”
Hesitantly, he gave her his hand. He was scared. But he knew that she would help him. She always helped him. In the entire world, she was his true friend. The one who always stood by his side.
He was so lost in the haze of mories that he didn’t notice when she grabbed his hand tightly and pulled him up. He only realised that he was safe and sound when his hard and tall body fell on her soft and thin body.
Their eyes t and Song Xueyun felt as if she had reached dreamland, the place she had always wanted to visit, but could never reach.
She was mad at Lu Xuan initially because he thought she would attend economics classes rather than a sumr camp. She knew that he didn’t an to ask her to help Lily and said that in a fit of anger when she angrily told than she never liked Zhou Liling who always clings to him.
She was jealous of Zhou Liling who got the approval of old madam Lu, not her who had always been a girl ant to help him, nothing more than that. Why was it that Zhou Liling’s feelings were feelings and hers were not even worthy enough to be considered?
Did she play the role of a supporting friend for too long that he refused to see her more than that?
If he liked Zhou Liling more than her, fine. She would back off. And focus on her studies, not him.
“Why do you look angry?” Lu Xuan whispered as he looked at her deep soulful eyes. She always had a pair of deep peach blossom eyes. She rarely showed any emotions but when she did, her face looked even more beautiful.
Obviously, he knew that she was a beautiful girl. It was just that telling your friend that they are beautiful sounds awkward.
Song Xueyun’s eyes widened as they realised the position that they were in. And pushed him away to stand back on her feet.
“Ouch, Xueyun, you really want dead, don’t you?” Lu Xuan muttered as he stood back on his feet. It felt so good to stand back on soil, not air.
“Stop talking nonsense,” Song Xueyun coldly announced.
“Will you at least tell what I did wrong to have you this angry at ?” Lu Xuan asked. He was tired of his fight with her. Now he wanted a truce.
“I’m not angry at you,” Song Xueyun muttered as she walked ahead.
He grabbed her hand and made her look at him. “Look into my eyes and tell that you are not angry at .”
Song Xueyun looked at him for a while and then sighed out. She had nothing to say to him. Before they could react or talk more, they saw four n in black suits running toward their way.
“Young master, are you alright?” Shawn, the head of Lu Xuan’s security team asked. “We looked for you all over the woods and in the end found you near where you got lost.”
“What?” Both Song Xueyun and Lu Xuan asked. Did they walk at least a mile in vain?
“You took a wrong turn and at the end reached where you got lost from, ” Another guard said. “It seed like you took a wrong turn and followed the wrong road that led to the sa place. It’s good that you are alright. We asked your teachers to walk ahead while we will take you there.”
Song Xueyun and Lu Xuan looked at each other and then sighed.
They really had a shit luck today!
While they were lost, the other students were still walking on the path that would lead them to the village. To not cause disturbance among the students, the teachers refrained from telling students that two students had strayed from the path while a teacher was following the guards to search for those two lost students.
