“Nanxian!!”
Han Nanxian ca running out of his bedroom. He got scared when she shouted like that. He literally thought sothing happened to her but here she was jumping on the couch in excitent. Yep, it was hard to imagine the Queen of aloofness dancing on the couch with such an excited look on her face.
Leo was sitting next to her couch, watching her with its twinkling eyes. The dog always sat next to her whenever she was working and gave her company. She had ford a place in the dog’s heart with her caring nature.
“What happened?” Han Nanxian asked. They were living together for more than two weeks now. Their earlier qualms had smoothed a lot and now they were quite friendly with each other. Since he worked from ho and she was enjoying her non-working ti by either watching TV, calling her friends and family, dragging Leo for walks or him to try out all the cool places in Shanghai that she couldn’t even though she was staying in the city for seven years now.
“I got a job!” Song Xueyun said as she pounced on him for a hug and he caught her on ti. He was staring at the relishing smile on her face with a warm look. He was so glad to see her happy like this. She deserved all the happiness in the world and she was finally getting it.
“Congratulations, “Han Nanxian said with a smile. “I didn’t know that you went for an interview.”
“I did not!” Song Xueyun said, the excitent palpable in her eyes. “Actually, when I got the email, they said they were excited to hear from . They know about my work and their CFO recomnded for this position but since I was working in my old company, they waited before giving this offer. They didn’t think that they would hear from first as they are just a new company starting in China.”
She hugged him tight and said in a hoarse voice, “Nanxian, enduring everything in that shitty place was worth it in the end. The promotion I was dying to get…they are offering that position. I know I’m young and slightly inexperienced for that position but they are willing to take risks with because they have faith in and I think I should be more confident in myself. I’m so happy.”
“Since you got your dream job, let’s eat out, ” Han Nanxian said. He was very happy that she got her dream job.
“No, ” She refused. “You can’t eat that many tis a week out. You have a strict diet to follow and all the restaurants that we visited none of them were that good. We will cook healthy food at ho. And you can’t drink.”
“I don’t drink, “He told her. “Just once in a year.”
“Do you smoke?” Song Xueyun questioned.
“That’s poison for , ” Han Nanxian told her.
“Exactly!” Song Xueyun said. “Alcohol is poison for you too. Let’s stick to apple or grape juice to get a feel of alcohol if it’s necessary.”
“Yes, ma’am, ” He said obediently and she nodded her head, completely satisfied with him.
She said after a while, “I think I will miss you a little.”
“We live together, ” Han Nanxian told her with a laugh. How can she miss him when he was living with her?
“No, I’m moving to An City, ” Song Xueyun dropped the bomb.
“Why?” Han Nanxian questioned.
“The company is based in An City, ” Song Xueyun said. “I’m joining on Monday which is just next week.”
“Yunyun, ” He called out her na, restlessly. “What about this place?”
“I think you can afford this apartnt or you can always look for a housemate, ” Song Xueyun told him with a shrug.
He didn’t think that the mont she would be friendly to him again, their ti together would end. He didn’t want to be away from her. He wanted to be with her all the ti. Seven years apart from her was hell already. He was not ready for that again.
“When are you leaving?” Han Nanxian asked.
“Tonight?” She said with a smile. “I finally got a chance to go to An City. How can I miss it?”
“Don’t go please, ” He said, pulling her for a hug. Even if he had to beg her, he would. “I can’t lose you again. Losing you once killed . I don’t want to go through the sa pain.”
Song Xueyun didn’t break the hug. She could feel his heart wildly beating against her ear. “Nanxian…”
“I know. I know. I’m selfish. I’m asking for too much but you are the only thing I want for myself, ” Han Nanxian told her.
“I don’t understand, “Song Xueyun whispered.
“I wanted to return, ” Han Nanxian said in a broken tone. “That day, when you were at the airport crying and asking to not go, I wanted to stop so badly and stay just for you. It was not easy for to go far away from you in the first place. I turned back but then I saw you hugging Lu Xuan… I felt you have everything you need with you. You liked him, always talked about him and you made so many sacrifices for him… I wanted to return but I never wanted to be just a best friend. That day, I decided to be selfish for myself and leave you because being your best friend while seeing you in love with soone else was painful.”
Song Xueyun stood there, listening to him in horror. She never understood why he never contacted her. She didn’t dare to ask him because sowhere her fears were right.
“You loved , ” She asked him in horror.
“I love you, ” He said instead.
“I was your best friend, ” Song Xueyun whispered, holding back tears.
“You are my soulmate, ” He said instead. He knew that she would find him crazy because what he was going to say really made him around crazy.
