"I knew, but don't you realized how cute you were when you are playing little Harley Quinn right there?"
Guan Xian bites his tongue. Try hard to hold his laughter and make his face look serious. But Xia Sha's little psycho moment had got his heart weak. Guan Xian loves and appreciates moments like this.
Those small moments speak out the most honest inner thought of her.
It reflecting her inner turmoil, and she willing to let Guan Xian enter her world.
And he is crazy for that. He craved Xia Sha's trust.
Xia Sha is giving him a deathly glare, but Guan Xian did not get scared or terrified at her. Instead, he cocks his head to one side. Bragging his handsome face at Xia Sha.
Xia Sha is frowning at him, but she finds herself almost stop breathing getting attacked by his look. They stared at each other for a long time, long enough that Ji Cun Xi turned somber again.
"There you go again. I don't remember why did I even agree to come here. We should hold a video conference to avoid getting feed by these dog-feeding monsters," Ji Cun Xi said to Jian Jun sourly.
Jian Jun's eyebrow arched up. He got intrigued by something in his mind.
"You need to get used to this. We will see more of this romance-comedy series when Wang Kai comes back, and these two got married," Jian Jun patted Ji Cun Xi's back.
"So you didn't regret letting Xiao Ni go without even trying to fight for her?" Ji Cun Xia asked because he got curious.
Xia Sha had known about this surprising fact for quite some right now. Turn out, Jian Jun has feeling for Xiao Ni, like Wang Kai. It is the sole reason why Guan Xian play billiard with an unknown group in the hotel where Xia Sha stayed before. Guan Xian felt betrayed by these two people and decided to find a new friend.
He failed miserably, as he remains hanging out with this guy even though his forehead creased in displeasure every time his little sister's name comes out from his friend's mouth.
Xia Sha admires the boys' friendship. But she also curious about Jian Jun's personality and sometimes out-of-the-box decision.
"Wang Kai is chasing her to Italy while your lazy ass revolved around Guan Xian," Ji Cun Xi tried to provoke the ever calm man. But Jian Jun had pretended to be deaf and ignore Ji Cun Xi.
Ji Cun Xi rolled his eyes and looked back at the screen. Xia Sha followed after him and found the screen has shown a report now.
"As soon as she bribed the bodyguard, she called for help. She tried to reach Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu didn't pick up. She also tried to call Meng Ran, but Meng Ran is locked too. In the end, that crazy woman calls this mysterious number from the US. I supposed she is that 'madame," Ji Cun Xi said.
"Our team tried to track the number and found that it's registered under Wen Du Jiao's identity number. Wen Du Jiao used to work under Wang Corporation years ago. He moved to the US right after his dishonorable dismissal from the general manager position."
"But our team was certain they heard a woman voice, and that woman called her madam," Jian Jun's voice carried an uncommon irritation.
"Might be a voice changer," Guan Xian dwelled in his monologue.
"We also think of that possibilities. However, we successfully tracked the phone location after a marvelous-IT genius volunteered to help. No need to thank this generous man. Let's say that he give this help as your wedding's gift."
Xia Sha watched Ji Cun Xi boasted. He is obliviously talking about himself. Jian Jun and Guan Xian shot him dirty looks, but Ji Cun Xi looks unperturbed by that. Instead, he looked at Xia Sha smugly.
"Ah, I should thank that IT genius personally."
"You don't have to-"
"So, who is this girl?" Jian Jun changed the subject before Ji Cun Xi's smiles grow wider. Guan Xian silently gives a thumb up for Jian Jun.
"I left a hind for you before, Wen Du Jiao. Surname Wen, does that clicked something on your mind?" Ji Cun Xia poses a question to Xia Sha.
Xia Sha's lashes fluttered. She unboxes all the memories on her mind, trying to recall everything about surname Wen. She slowly revisits the memories on her mind, tracing them carefully.
"Wen Du Jiao? Ex-General Manager of Wang Corporation," she mumbles in a low voice. Her voice was soft. It could not get any quieter.
"My father is a General Manager of the Wang Corporation. Senior Wang Kai took care of her as his sister. You dare to defy me?"
"Pig! Do you know why you got picked up, and no one cares? Because you are a pig! Tacky new money!"
"She runs so slow and dragged our whole class record."
"What can you expect? It's hard enough for her to carry her body. Yet, she bought the whole gold store on her neck."
That high-pitched voice echoed on her brain. A blurry scenario on Imperial high school's greenfield played on before her eyes. She gritted her teeth when she recognized the plump girl cried. A big circle of people surrounds the plumped girl, she was crying for help, but no one ever stands up for her.
Xia Sha was standing on the balcony in her memories.
Xia Sha is usually careless about anyone. She doesn't even remember some of her teacher's names.
But Xia Sha knew that plump girl.
She is her new deskmate. She remembers her frightened smile and sweet voice when she greets her in the morning before the class start. When she watched her getting bullied by that tacky girl, she felt her blood boil.
It just triggered something when she heard Kai Xin's cried.
And so she called Xiao Ni.
And so she provoked Xiao Ni and stole other student's attention.
And so Kai Xin becomes her friend.
But that girl, she forgets all about her. What happens after that incident?
And what is her name again?
"Wen Rou? Zheng Shuang's impersonator is Wen Rou?"
Xia Sha's eyes flare open when she comes to a realization. She gasped and closed her mouth, did not think every misery that happens to her friend is a tail of that bullying accident.
"No wonder. No wonder," Xia Sha murmured with a shaken hand. No wonder she targeted Kai Xin.
She could felt hatred when Zheng Shuang's impersonator called Kai Xin's name. She just never thought it was Wen Rou.
Guan Xian looked at Xia Sha's fragile and thin body. His heart drops when he felt a cold hand searching for his palm. He looked at Xia Sha's pale face, stretching his hand to transfer some comfort to her.
Xia Sha pressed her lips, toughening her heart as she glances at Guan Xian and Jian Jun.
"What does it has to do with the madame she called. If it's Wen Rou, then no wonder the phone number could be registered under Wen Du Jiao. Wen Du Jiao is Wen Rou's father, right?"
Jian Jun nodded, he answered assertedly.
"If I recall, Xiao Ni did say something that triggered Wen Du Jiao's firing. But they do find his corrupted deeds in the finance report. So maybe Zheng Shuang's impersonator thought you ruined her family's life, but his father is not an angel either."
"Hm, but why doesn't she targeted Xiao Ni? I apologized if I offended someone, but Xiao Ni does play a big role too," Xia Sha posed Guan Xian a question, but she sounded assertive.
Guan Xian raised his eyebrow. He averted his gaze away from Xia Sha and cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Cough. Cough. Who dares to target her? She has Wang Kai behind her. He protected her more than my mother protects her," Ji Cun Xi said words that stuck under Guan Xian's throat.
Ji Cun Xi tilted his head and smiled at Xia Sha. He pointed at the man who sits next to Xia Sha.
"Now, the problem is, why don't people get scare of you when you had Guan Xian behind you?"
Guan Xian: "..."
QAQ. Guan Xian is death.
Ji Cun Xi is asking for death this time :)
"No, they were scared of Guan Xian. Wen Rou threatened me to break up with him. That is why I decided to marry him," Xia Sha did not realize she just blow up the thought behind her decision to marry Guan Xian.
