Xia Sha smiled at the cashier and thanked her as she wrapped up her dirty clothes for her. "Hu Che, let's find your uncle and aunty after-"
Empty.
The little boy has to disappear when she turned her back. Her jaw dropped slightly. She raised her eyebrow to the shop attendee that helps her from the start, questioning her with her looks.
The shop attendee has a shy smile as she shrugs her shoulder. Xia Sha blinked and look at the space he stands before. This boy didn't get kidnapped, didn't he?
"Miss, the little boy left this for you." The shop helper hand a thick paper to her. Xia Sha knew who is behind everything when she sees a family logo on the paper's bottom.
Dear Aunty Xia Sha,
My uncle is here to fetch me,
I'm going home now.
Please don't miss me too much,
you will meet me soon^^
Hu Che.
"The writing is so good, there is no way it's how to own writing," Xia Sha murmured while observing the paper front and back. When she didn't realize it, the shop attendee has stood beside her and put a blindfold on her eyes.
"Ah!" She squeals and tried to pull the blindfolds. Realizing she is going to break free soon, she asked for help from her friends. Who knew when she almost opens her blindfolds, two-man wearing a pink suit come.
It's such a weird combination of scary faces and pink suits in bulging muscle entering a clothing shop. However, the man's power and woman are very different. Moreover, they are a special bodyguard from the Wang family.
"AHH! WHAT IS THIS?" Xia Sha screams when she felt two big forces picked up her arms left and right. They also very tall, it makes her legs hanging up in the air.
"LET ME GO!"
"LET ME GO!
"I HAVE A BLACK BELT IN TAEKWONDO! I WILL BEAT YOU UP IF YOU DARE TO KIDNAP ME!" She screams wildly, forgetting her calm and cold images of Xia's family ice princess.
"AHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME! HELP!" She keeps calling out for help when her intuitive said they are dragging her to a smaller space. There are so many people roaming around the mall, but no one steps out to help her.
Xia Sha gets desperate and stops kicking her leg in the air. She waits for the right moment to run away, peeking through the little gap below her eyes.
The lift door opened, the two bodyguards pull her body up again. The gap on the blindfolds is small. Although she tried several ways to make her sight wider, she can only see the shiny ceramic below her.
She can see people's reflections from there. Watching her being carried by two big men wearing army shoes with a pink suit, but no one steps out to help her.
She is calmer than before. Since there is a lot of people watching, it's probably not a kidnapping. From Kai Xin who stays too long, Hu Che's sudden appearance and disappearance, and the fact that Guan Xian and Xiao Ni are here, it's pretty clear they wanted to trick her.
But what are they planning?
That is the biggest question now.
"Can you put me down? I can walk by myself," She growls at the two bodyguards on her side.
"Apologies, Miss, Xia, Our leader especially told us to carry you so you can't run away,"
Xia Sha: "..."
Xiao Ni from the balcony: This image is pretty familiar...
"I won't run away, but you are hurting my arm," Xia Sha said behind her gritting teeth.
"Don't worry, we almost there," they said monotonously. They didn't want to listen to her.
They aren't lying. In the next two minutes, they let her go. Xia Sha scoffed and harshly pull her blindfold to see where they put her.
When the light gets reflected and create a clear image in her eyes, her body froze like a statue. First, she is in the middle of the human sea, circling her.
Everyone has a kind smile that is directed to her. It makes her shiver and confuses her at the same time. Still trying to fathom what happened to her, she hears a melodious play from the grand piano on the stages.
"Err??" She smiles back awkwardly.
When the music is on, those people start to dance in unison. Almost like Gangnam style's flashmob but only with other music. Xia Sha's eyes flare up as she tried to run away from this bunch of weird groups that wear pink shirts.
"Whoops, excuse me. I need to go," she tried to take away.
"Uh okay, don't touch me," she protected her body from people push her back.
But no matter how hard she tries, they draw her back to her position before. Right in the middle of the dance floor.
She frowned and stand there awkwardly.
Then the music change to a very famous song in K-Dramas
Stand by me,
look towards me
even though I don't know love yet
stand by me
guard over me
because I am still clumsy at love
Xia Sha's eyes flare wide open, she wandered her eyes all over the places once again to find that guy. That guy! He must be someone behind everything.
When she still searching for his presence, people start to strides forward one by one. They hand Xia Sha the black flower they hide behind their back.
The song is too familiar for Xia Sha. It's one of her favorites songs. In high school! It's been years since she heard this song again.
"What exactly happening here?" She asked but no one answered.
The more I get to know you, my heart quivers
All I can do is smile
Shall I try to kiss you?
Will it get me a little closer to your heart?
Could this feeling be love
I'm still shy
I haven't even taken a single step to you
So please wait for my love
"Where is that guy?" Xia Sha murmured with jaw clenched.
Together with making love
Forever making you smile
Filled with your bright smile
Together with making love
forever making you smile
I will slowly heat towards you step by step
Stand by me
Look at me
Somehow, I want to be closer to you
Stand by me
Guard over me
I want to seem a bit cooler to you
Wait, why is the singer sounds a little bit off the chord? He doesn't sound professional at all. Her eyes travel to the stages, where a man wearing a peachy colored suit waving to her.
I don't know at first
How to begin to love
I still don't know my heart
But I love you.
"Saranghaeeee, ohhhhh~~," he says the high key and makes Xia Sha speechless.
When he finished singing, he walks toward her. People make a way for him as if he is the male character of a novel. Microphone still on his hand as he offers a hand to her,
Tang Yu Bin rush to give him a bouquet of black roses, freshly handpicked from Grandmother's Guan garden in Germany.
Xia Sha glares at him and covers her face with her hand. "What are you doing?" She whispers angrily. Her hand carries so many rose that it covered her upper body.
Guan Xian smiles and didn't answer. Instead, he drags her to the stage and clears his throat.
"After you block me, this whole month. I do a lot of thinking about relationships. Sure I want to give up at first because you are so damn difficult to get. And I know why you've been hurt before that you will never believe that love will treat you right. My reputation in the past is not much help either."
His eyes shone brightly, reflecting the charming personality he has. He smiled and continued his narrations.
"I was once a playboy. But I have never been in a committed relationship before because no girl has ever made me wanted to have them as much as I want you."
"When you blocked me, I seek helps from a lot of people. I need to figure out how to make his things work because I'm going crazy spending the day without making you annoyed." His mischievous smiles make Xia Sha lifted her lips subconsciously.
"I just want to tell you, I never give up on you. I'll try to win your heart no matter how hard. But I also know, what you need is concrete action, not a mere empty word," He looks at Xia Sha intently, igniting something more inside Xia Sha's heart.
"To me, the best way to show you how serious am I about commenting on a relationship with you is by this," he stops in the mid-air, taking something out from his pocket.
Xia Sha gasp when he reveals what he takes! A Little Black Box.
"No way," she mumbles, taking one step to the back.
"Yes way," He learned playfully, and open the box in front of her.
