"Does a woman has to work very hard to be noticeable?" Xiao Ni repeated Xia Sha's words with a cool gleam on her eyes.
"Do you think every woman is so lucky as you? I've used my whole life until today to make myself noticeable for him. When I thought I finally got him, he dumped me!" Xiao Ni scoffed angrily.
"You consider me luckier than you, Xiao Ni, are you kidding me?" Xia Sha raised her eyebrow at her. Both look dissatisfied with each other as the dark aura emitting from their body.
"You are not lucky? Let me tell you, consider you haven't died after you dumped my brother is lucky!" Xiao Ni snorted and looked away from Xia Sha.
Of course, she knew about Guan Xian's frustration. Even though it's hard enough to pace with the kidnapping and mending a broken heart, she can see through Guan Xian as if he is a piece of paper.
Xia Sha was silent for a few moments before she defended herself. "We never officially going out. I didn't dump him."
"Uh-huh, you didn't dump him. Fine. Tell me, why did you block him? did he do something that you don't like?" Xiao Ni glares at her.
Knowing her brother, when he cares about somebody, he would be very meticulous with things regarding that person. Xiao Ni also can see he no longer wasting his time on those bimbos. He cut everything out of his life, for what?
Getting drunk in the house bar in the middle of the night, while mumbling, "Why did she block me?" To Ji Cun Xi?
Xia Sha squinting her eyes and furrowed her eyebrow at Xiao Ni. "I can't bring our relationship further. Thus I stop it before it turns into something that might hurt both of us," Xia Sha answers. She scowled at Xiao Ni and asked.
"Perhaps you really want to call me sister-in-law?"
She gets agitated by Xia Sha's words that her whole face turns red. Xiao Ni's eyes flare-up. She opens and closes her mouth a few times before she yells, "As long as my brother happy, even if I have to call a dog sister-in-law, I will!"
The rim of her eyes turns red after she yells at Xia Sha. She quickly turns away to hides. But she could hear still her murmured slowly, "Sigh... our family is too kind that we let us hurt us like this."
Xia Sha almost choked her own saliva listening to Xiao Ni. However, her last expression does make her felt awful. Kai Xin looks at the little scene before her and takes a position in the middle of their fights. She gave Xia Sha assuring looks before a walk towards Xiao Ni.
"Aiya, No matter the two of you is luckier than me! I'm an abused single dog right here!" Kai Xin pretends to be pitiful to cheer Xiao Ni up.
Kai Xin slowly leads Xiao Ni to an empty corner, away from Xia Sha. Xiao Ni quickly understands Kai Xin wanted to say something to her. She pretends to choose to try on sunglasses while preparing her eats.
"What is it?" She wiggles her left eyebrow at Kai Xin. There is no sadness can be a trace on her face. Kai Xin's face almost fall.
"That... Weren't you? You are acting back then?!" She blabbers in disbelief.
Xiao Ni shrugged her shoulder and took black framed
sunglasses. "You think I will show her my real tears? We aren't that close yet," She hissed.
Kai Xin: "..." Sure, you can do whatever you want. You are a great actress!
Kai Xin clears her throat and steals a glance at Xia Sha from afar, "Ehkem, so, before you get mad for Xia Sha for pushing your brother away, you should know her reasons."
Xiao Ni raised both of her eyebrows and wrinkles her nose. She looks unconvinced but looks at Kai Xin with 'go on' eyes.
"Xia Sha is fragile. She is in the states where she can't blindly fall in love and trust everyone. You do know what happens to her parents and Xiao Zhan at that time."
Xiao Ni nodded her head but say, "Still not a reason to block my brother. My brother is loveable and trustable! I guarantee him with my life."
"Yes, for you, because he is your brother. But not for Xia Sha. Two months ago, Senior Guan Xian is an ordinary senior in school, who she thought won't have anything to do with her because he is her enemy's brother," Kai Xin narrated.
"Moreover, you can't put all the blame on Xia Sha. Senior Guan so easily backs off and gives up when she blocked her. How can she believe his feeling is genuine if he gives up so easily?"
Xiao Ni raised three of her fingers with a fake smile at Kai Xin.
"I was kidnapped, hospitalized, and dumped. Do you think my brother is so idle to coax her when her sister almost died?" Xiao Ni rolls her eyes at Kai Xin.
Kai Xin: "..."
Xiao Ni curled her hand into a fist and turned back to the glasses counter. Point one to take out to the attendee there. The worker gives Xiao Ni the glasses she wanted, and she tried it on.
"Huff. I knew. I knew she is broken and scared of falling in love. But who didn't?" Xiao Ni pressed her lips together with a slight depression after pondering for a while.
Isn't it the same problem she is facing right now? No, she has walked too far from Xia Sha's position right now. She takes that leap of faith and ends up dumped on national news.
Well, she should have to act like Xia Sha. Blocked him out from the moment he returns to the Capital City.
"Damned that man!" She growls with hatred and looks viciously at Kai Xin. "You! Bought everything you like here, make sure you bought many that I drain that bastard's bank account!"
Kai Xin shook her head at Xiao Ni. She turns her head to Xia Sha to check on her. Hmm. She is still there, safe and sound. But she looks furious right now. Her cheeks are flustered.
Wait, who is that guy?!
Kai Xin's eyes rounded up. She pokes at Xiao Ni without looking away from Xia Sha. Xiao Ni gets annoyed and looks at her with irritated looks, "What?" she snarls.
Kai Xin choked and look at Xiao Ni with a dumbfounded face.
"Isn't that your brother?" She gapes.
Xiao Ni glances at the tall man beside Xia Sha, a smirk appear on her pretty face.
"See, my brother didn't give up. The Guan family is not one to give up," she said proudly.
***
Xia Sha in the middle of selecting a scarf when a tall man appeared beside her with a pretentious kind smile.
"There you are! I thought you've moved to Atlantic City, the lost paradise." He stressed the word lost.
Xia Sha gagged and wanted to run away from him immediately. But her ego forced her to stay and face him.
"I didn't move. I'm just avoiding you. Can't you see?" She said blatantly.
"I can see you blocked me, don't worry. I'm not technologically backward." He answered calmly.
"Oh, so you do know I blocked you. Which meant I don't want to talk to you. Do you?" She rolls her eyes and walks away from the scarf rack.
"Uh-huh, keep rolling your eyes. You might find your brain somewhere." He savagely answers and trails behind her.
Xia Sha's jaw dropped at his insult. She turns around and looks at him with an angry, disbelief face. Did he really just call her stupid?
"Well, If you want to be a smartass, first you need to be smart. Else, you are only an ass!" She glares at him, which makes him cracked into a chuckle.
"Do you knew you look cute when you get angry?" He wrinkles his nose and gets excited by himself. He looks like a drug addictive person, wanting to hug her but stop in the middle of the air with a big grin.
Xia Sha blinks and scowls at him.
"Do you know you look like a zombie?" She eschews from him.
"I'll get normal if you hug me once. Hug me?" He titled his head and asked with a sincere smile.
Xia Sha growls at him and forces her leg to walk away quickly. She could felt her heart starts to get active while pounding really hard.
Nononono, don't do this again!
She has been torturing herself for a month. Did it all just go to waste when he appears in front of her?!
"Come on, don't be stingy. It just a hug!" He shouted from the back, clearly laughing at her. "I didn't even get mad when you block and ignore me for a whole month."
"You can get mad and block me too!" Xia Sha runs away quickly as if he is a plaque.
"But I did not get mad. Where are you going to escape?" He chuckles lowly, grabbing her wrist with his long arms. Xia Sha stop and froze. She felt his hot breath behind her as he whispers.
