Han Zixin left the police headquarters after signing the official docunts. There was nothing for him to do today and so he decided to give a look at the apartnt that he was renting. He stopped in his tracks as he saw a couple of college students holding guitars and playing music to get donations.
Instead of leaving for ho, he found himself walking to them. He put two notes in the donation box and asked if they needed his help.
“How can you help us?” A boy who was in his late teenage years asked. “You already helped us a lot by putting money in the donation box.”
“Pass the guitar, ” Han Zixin said. “You are collecting donations for flood-affected areas. I just want to help for a noble cause.”
“Can you play it?” The other boy asked.
“Yep, ” Han Zixin took the guitar from the boy and sat on the chair, adjusting the instrunt on his thigh. He touched the string once and then twice before he was questioned again.
“Are you sure you can play it?” The first boy questioned.
“Give him a chance, ” The girl in their group said. “It wasn’t like we were doing a great job. At least, he has a handso face and it will attract people.”
The two boys sighed but nodded their heads.
Han Zixin began playing the instrunt and the students stared at him in awe. Seeing the handso guy, playing the guitar at the side of the road, the passersby began crowding.
He closed his eyes and sucked in a breath before singing, “When I walk down a road I don’t know well…”
The audience sucked in a breath and cheered as they heard his lodious voice.
ğŸ�¶ When I walk down a road I don’t know well
And I’m full of scare and doubt…..ğŸ�¶
ğŸ�¶I think of you…. I think of youğŸ�¶
ğŸ�¶I’m always by your side, my love. ğŸ�¶
The audience began swaying as if they were attending an audience. The college students were happiest of all as their donation boxes began filling. They looked at the handso man in disbelief. He was so talented that they instantly wished that he was an idol and they would certainly support him.
On the other hand, An Xiulan had co to the shopping mall with Shen Yue. The two friends t after so long. Both of them were trying out different places and they had co to have lunch in a famous restaurant when they saw people standing in a crowd by the side of the road.
“It seems soone is performing, “Shen Yue said.
“Mhmm, “An Xiulan was trying to get into the crowd. She didn’t know why she felt the need to go and see it. The voice of the singer was too familiar.
“Xiu’er, do you think the singer’s voice is familiar?” Shen Yue asked after a while.
An Xiulan stared at her in surprise. “Do you think so?”
Shen Yue nodded her head. “What’s that mysterious singer’s na? Star sothing. That person sounds a bit like him. But it can’t be him, right? No one knows what the mysterious internet sensation looks like.”
An Xiulan’s eyes twinkled as she ran inside the crowd. The people gave her nasty glares but she didn’t mind cutting in the line to see if it was that person. Shen Yue was right behind her. When they saw the singer singing, she stopped.
“Gosh, I think I just have a crush, ” Shen Yue muttered. “Who is this Greek god?”
An Xiulan nudged her and gave her a nasty glare.
“What? You aren’t stealing my crush from , are you?” Shen Yue teased her.
“Yue’er! Off limits!” An Xiulan said in a sharp tone. “Look at his face carefully. “
“Handso, ” Shen Yue exclaid. “Wait…why does he look like our high school’s big boss?”
An Xiulan gave her a sharp look and Shen Yue’s eyes widened in realization.
“Big Boss Han?” Shen Yue uttered the words with great difficulty. She turned to look at a very handso Han Zixin who was singing.
ğŸ�¶I’ll be forever in your arms
I’m always by your side, my love
And this love’s entirely for you, with you, from you
I’m always by your side, my love
From now on, my everything’s for you, with you, from youğŸ�¶
“Once more! Once more!”
The crowd was demanding him to sing one more ti.
An Xiulan smiled at the mory. She closed her eyes and the scene of Han Zixin singing this song for the first ti during camping in High school ca to her mind. She couldn’t help but want to cry and laugh at the sweet mory. She couldn’t help but think how this song was their own song; the song they goofed around, danced around and sang along to.
She was so lost in mories that she didn’t realize when the crowd jumped as he stood up and handed the guitar to the boys. She felt her body jerking away as soone pushed her. She would have kissed the floor if soone had not acted on his instincts and pulled her back.
Her body startled and she fell on the person who pulled her wrist to save her. Her eyes widened dramatically when her lips landed on his warm ones.
She gasped loudly along with the crowd as she realized what she just did.
Han Zixin blinked once and then twice as he stared at a pair of familiar big doe eyes staring at him in astonishnt. He blinked again as he didn’t know if he was watching a dream or if it was a coincidence.
“Xiu’er!”
Shen Yue acted faster and helped An Xiulan stand on her feet back.
“Are you okay?” Shen Yue asked.
“My first kiss, ” An Xiulan murmured, touching her tingling lips.
“That’s not important, ” Shen Yue said. “Tell are you hurt?”
Before An Xiulan could reply, she felt soone grabbing her wrist and pulling her with him.
“Yue’r, I’m getting kidnapped, ” An Xiulan shouted.
Shen Yue rolled her eyes. “I’m going back. I know you will reach ho on your own.”
When her back hit the back of his motorcycle, she lowered her gaze. He gripped her chin and made her look at him.
“Hi, ” She tried to be her charming self but when she saw his dark eyes, she sighed. He was angry. No, he was livid.
“When?” He asked.
“I was planning a surprise, ” She muttered.
“More like a shock, ” Han Zixin scoffed.
“Stand a little away, I’m a woman, ” An Xiulan said, pushing him a little away. Gosh, he was so tall that she had to crane her neck to look at him. He was taller than Lu Xuan and this made her smile.
Han Zixin didn’t listen to her complaints and pulled her for a bear hug. She wrapped her arms around him and heaved out a sigh.
“You are cruel, ” He whispered.
“What did you say?” An Xiulan asked.
“Nothing, ” He whispered again. He broke the hug and stared at her face. Sa doe eyes. Small and oval face. Cute button nose.
“Why are you staring at like this?” An Xiulan questioned.
“Like what?” Han Zixin inquired.
“Like this, ” She said.
“Like what?” Han Zixin retorted.
“Like…” An Xiulan couldn’t find another word. “Never mind.”
He stared at her without saying a word.
“You have gotten intense, ” She comnted.
“Try leading the special forces, ” Han Zixin comnted.
“Mr deputy chief, congratulations, ” An Xiulan smiled at him. Her dimples were visible. She was so happy that it was evident in her clear doe eyes.
He smiled back and nodded at her. “What were you doing here?”
“Ca here to lunch with Yue’r but the food sucks, “An Xiulan shrugged. “Why are you staring at ?”
“I am seeing you after seven years and I can’t even look at you for seven minutes, “Han Zixin retorted.
“Why are you bitter?” She asked him.
“I was the first person you said goodbye to when you left but you couldn’t tell that you are coming back, ” Han Zixin bitterly said. “Guess, we really drifted with ti.”
With this said, he walked away from her. She stared at his retiring back for a mont and then ran after him.
“Han Zixin!”
“Han Zixin!”
“Stop! Don’t go!”
He stopped in his tracks but he didn’t turn to look at her. She hugged his back and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Don’t go, ” She said. “I was wrong. I was extrely wrong. Also, stop lying that you are looking at after seven years.”
“You said, I can’t ntion that you ca to China for a bar exam or I’m so dead, “He murmured. ” You also said no matter what happens you will never ignore but that’s what you are doing right now.”
“I’m sorry, ” She whispered.
“Go back ho, ” Han Zixin said without turning back to look at her.
“You are not going to drop ho?” An Xiulan questioned.
“I’m sure you brought your driver, ” Han Zixin said. “It was nice eting you again, An Xiulan. I need to go back to my apartnt.”
An Xiulan loosened her arms around his waist and watched him going away from her. She couldn’t describe her feelings as she wasn’t even sure what she was feeling. When he left on his motorcycle, the rain started pouring. The sunny weather turned gloomy all of a sudden and she smiled at the irony.
