Chapter 50: So, Let's Go On Date

Xia Sha did not remember how she manages to sleep last night after yesterday. All she knew is she wakes up with slight dizziness. She pinched the little space between her eyebrow before she drags her feet to the bathroom.

Took her a while to sober up in the bathroom.

It was Saturday, the day when she usually working on her hotel project in her room, accompanied by a random playlist she found. But since she is homeless and might be jobless soon, she is lost.

Waisting her time watching some drama aired on the television did not help much. Instead, it makes her felt more pathetic than before. Kai Xin has gone to Marocco. She insisted on learning pottery there. Zheng Shuang, that girl hasn't reply to her text.

Avoiding feeling lonely in the hotel room, Xia Sha decided to dress up and go to GW Mall. Shopping is a great stress reliever, sometimes. But she got even more depressed when nothing good coming out from this season.

After exploring the whole store on the second floor, she gave up and went to the ice cream parlor instead. She sits in the corner, where she observes everyone in the store. Which makes her even sick when she realized most of them are couples.

In the end, she buried her head into her almond delight ice cream. It's all calm until a pair of a young man and middle age woman bickering on the cashier.

"Stinky boy, are you calling me too old for ice cream?!" The middle-aged woman said. She looks beautiful and high maintenance. Xia Sha recognizes the rare blood jade she wears.

"What? that is ridiculous! I did not say that." The young man answers almost instantly. He sounds like a professional liar with how fast he replies and how relaxed his face while telling lies.

"Then, what do you mean by I should be eating Nyonya cake rather than eating ice cream here?" The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrow, the young man lips twitched before he leans in closer to the middle-aged woman.

The young man clears his throat after whispering something and the middle-aged woman wandering her sight all over the tables in the store. Her cheeks slightly flushed red afterward, averting her gaze before murmuring something to the young man.

"Xiao Ni said the ice cream here is tasty. But I'm going lose my face if someone caught me sits here." The middle-aged woman said with a low voice. The man's eyes travel to every corner of the store before he caught someone familiar on the corner.

Yep, their eyes meet. Xia Sha quickly averted her gaze from him. But the man's eyes filled with a delightful surprise right now. He put his arm around the middle-aged woman's shoulder and grin. "Don't worry. I got a plan. Just take your order." he assures the middle-aged woman.

"Don't play one of your games with me." The middle-aged woman furrows her eyebrow. The young man's eyes flares open. He took a step back from the woman and shook his head in a fake hurt expression.

"Mom, you are hurting my feelings."

"Sorry, I thought you did not have one." His mother answers savagely. The young man is at a loss of words before rushing his mother to take his order.

Xia Sha wanted to mind her own business, but the pair of mother and son attracted her. Moreover, both of them are someone she knew. As much as she knew what the young man is planning, she did not prevent his plan to happen.

So when the young man and mother look surprised when they spotted her, she has prepared a sweet smile for them. She even called the middle-aged woman first.

"Aunty," she greeted politely.

"Oh! Xia Sha, right?" The middle-aged woman said excitedly, approaching Xia Sha with blue ice cream in her hand. An unusual flavor for older age to pick. Xia Sha nodded her head slightly as an answer.

"Can we sit with you? You are alone, right?" The young man asked. His eyes filled with lively mischievous glints. As if he wanted to tease her for sitting alone in the middle of couples.

"Of course." She manages to squeeze out her answer, surpassing the urge to strangled the young man. The man pulls a chair for his mother before taking sit next to Xia Sha.

His mother looks surprised and almost gasping loudly. She looks at her son and Xia Sha before a small smile appears. She shares the same understanding with the grinning young man right now.

"Xia Sha, It's been a very long time. You are all grown up now." The woman smiles kindly. Xia Sha laugh awkwardly. She and Xiao Ni relationship are quite famous. She is sure this aunty knew about it.

"Hmm, old enough to eat ice cream alone." His remarks sound more offending than he intends to. His mother is giving him a warning glare. "Without a group of nosy girls," he added.

"Hmph, childish." His mother hissed and smiling at Xia Sha again. The contrast of how she treats her son and Xia Sha is too palpable. Her sons did not mind. Instead, he gave her a playful wink.

Giggles almost roll out of Xia Sha's tongue.

"Xia Sha, I heard you refuse his offer to be his date? It's so wise of you. You don't know how annoying he can be most of the time." His mother said while Guan Xian's face darken.

Xia Sha smiles and enjoys insulting Guan Xian party. It only takes a cone of ice cream to tell that Guan Xian and his mother are a barrel of a laugh. Her shoulder felt lighter after a row of a good laugh.

"Mom, now you can see that I did not play a game with you. We look like a cute little family enjoying ice cream. You don't lose your face if one of that noisy aunty sees you." Guan Xian said, scooping the last ice cream on his cup.

At this rate, Xia Sha is used to his shameless remarks. But her cheeks felt hot while the pool of pink appears.

"Hmm, I do enjoy chatting with Xia Sha. Thank you again, Xia Sha, to accompany this old lady."

"Aunty, you are not old at all." Xia Sha quickly shook his head frantically. Guan Xian laugh and gave mother Guan a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mother's lips.

"Don't lie," A glee in his eyes is amusing. Xia Sha could stare at those pairs all day if mother Guan is not here.

"This stinky boy!" Mother Guan glare at him. "But he is right, I'm too old to seat alone in an ice cream shop. But you, Xia Sha, you are too young and beautiful to spend this Saturday alone."

Xia Sha wrinkles her nose and shows small smiles. "Shopping alone is my stress reliever," she lied.

"Of course, it is. But it's Saturday." Mother Guan said before hinting at something beside Xia Sha. Xia Sha almost chokes her own ice cream facing mother Guan directness.

"Mom, are you actually handing over your date to someone else? I thought you love me?" He said in wonders mixed with fake pain.

"Uh-huh, I couldn't stand your love-sick face no more. I'll let you pass today, of course, only if Xia Sha willing to," she said.

Suddenly Xia Sha makes the call for a mother and son date. She looks at mother Guan and Guan Xian back and forth did not know what to answer. Guan Xian deliberately did not look at her. He did not want to give her the pressure to agree.

Xia Sha has an inner battle with her heart. Her mind told her to stop making things more complicated, but her heart did not even think before agreeing. It is complete chaos inside her.

Mother Guan is more direct. She said, "It's okay if you don't want to. My son can be a real pain in the ass sometimes." She shrugs her shoulder.

"Mom, you shouldn't make me looks bad in front of a girl." Guan Xian furrowed his eyebrow. Especially in front of a girl he likes, he added inside his heart.

Mother Guan has funny eyes directed to Guan Xian before she holds Xia Sha's hand that lay on the table. Before mother Guan said something, Guan Xian has cut her off first.

"Mom, let the poor girl alone. I'll drive you home. Dad is waiting for your date night." He said, vying with his mother to talk.

Her mother looks at him with a dissatisfied look before clicking her tongue. "Fine," she mumbles, stood up from her seat. Guan Xian helps her stand up, standing right beside her.

Guan Xian and aunty Guan are bidding her goodbye, while Xia Sha still sits on her chair. At the sight of them leaving them alone, her heart suddenly panic.

"Wait!" she blurts out when they are only two-step away from her. Her voice coming out louder than she expected. She was embarrassed but there is no turning back when Guan Xian and mother Guan has turned their back to her.

"I..." she suddenly has a sore throat. Mother Guan smiles at her gently, she walks to Xia Sha side and touches her hand with her soft hand. It was warm and soft. It could chase away the loneliness, which she did not realize has eaten her slowly.

"Do you need a ride? Guan Xian could lift you after he drops me." She said as if she knows everything on her mind. Xia Sha blushed and shyly nodding her head.

The three of them walk together. The ride to a fancy restaurant near GW Mall is also pleasant. Xia Sha only realized the consequences of acting implausibly when Guan Xian escorted her mother to find father Guan.

Her heart practically jumping from her body when she sees the tall figure wearing a white shirt coming out of the restaurant and slides inside the car.

"Need a ride, really?" he smirks, clearly knows Xia Sha's pathetic lies and what is she wants right now. Xia Sha averted her gaze, her heart suddenly shirked, she wanted to back out.

She clears her throat, trying to find a perfect alibies. "Well, my feet hurt-"

"So?" he smiles, a charming smile that tug Xia Sha's heart once again.

It was he had his influence on her body. He could make her stop breathing and irrational. Xia Sha watched herself look at Guan Xian in the driver seat beside her with a nervous gaze. She could hear herself said, "So, let's go on date."

His smile rose even wider than before.
