"I knew you need time, and I'm willing to give you all the time. I just need you to open your heart and try. It's all that I ask." His voice rang out throughout the entire mall.
Xia Sha looks at him with an unreadable expression.
Xiao Ni is biting her thumbnail on the balcony. She got anxious for her brother as she mumbles, "Please say yes! Please,"
Wang Kai and Jian Jun both look at her the averted their gaze at the same time. Ji Cun Xi hissed when he noticed this. He nudges Jian Jun's elbow beside him.
"You are good at reading micro expression. Tell us the percentage of rejection," Cun Xi asked.
Jian Jun lowered his lashes and focused his gaze at Xia Sha.
He took a deep breath, and everybody is waiting for his answer. He then shook his head slowly, like it's impossible. Xiao Ni puffed her cheek and instantly felt sorry for her brother.
Wang Kai glance at his shiny black shoes coldly.
Ji Cun Xi shook his head in despair.
Jian Jun took another deep breath and finally said, "I think my myopia is getting worse. I can't see her expression from here."
"CHEEE!" The tree of them said in unison with the same annoyed face. Jian Jun smirked and pointed at Guan Xian.
"Look at his bright smile. Xia Sha's answers are all shown there. What are we getting nervous for?" Jian Jun said casually, pointing at Guan Xian's confident face.
"When did he ever lose his confidence?" Wang Kai pressed his thin lips into one line.
Xiao Ni glared sharply at him and snorted.
"He looks fine outside, but who knows what he feels inside. A human with no heart like you won't understand."
Ji Cun Xi and Jian Jun both pretend they heard nothing, although the burning flames from both sides have made their back wet. Wang Kai wanted to reply to her hurtful words but swallow his words midway.
He merely turns his focus back on his best friend and notified them. "Look, she is going to answer."
Xiao Ni's irritation was replaced with nervousness when Xia Sha slowly unclenched her hand. The sparkly diamond looks good in her palms, but everyone wished to see that ring on her finger instead.
They stare at each other for a long time that Xia Sha began to blush. Guan Xian looks at her long curly eyelashes that cast a shadow to bellow her eyes. He didn't know why the more he looks at her, the more attractive she looks in his eyes.
It's a pleasant feeling, but he can't enjoy it while his heart pounded so fast for a long time. This long waiting for Xia Sha's answer is more tiring than a long marathon run.
He tried to look calm as best as he can't because he didn't want to look defeated just yet. Guan Xian knew how big the probability to get rejected, yet he still does this whole show just because he wanted to show Xia Sha how serious he is. Even if he gets rejected in front of everyone, he won't give up on chasing her.
But if she agreed, that is a bonus for him.
He waited patiently for her answers as she opens her mouth.
"I... I'll unblock you," she mumbles with a low voice.
"Really?" He needs assurance in this.
Guan Xian gasps and rounded his eyes. His heart burst with happiness as he began to jump in the stages.
"I did it!" He shouted and informed everyone.
The crowd began to cheer while Xiao Ni covers her mouth with her hand. She felt so happy that she hugs Ji Cun Xi beside her. "Brother Ji, she accepted him!"
"I knew it! I knew it! Who can reject such a grand and sincere proposal like this?"
"Oh no, Does this mean I have a sister-in-law now? I don't have to hear my mother monotonous nagging about my brother's love life again?" She grinned like a little child.
Ji Cun Xi nodded his head and added, "I don't have to become his wingman in the club again!"
Ji Cun Xi is just as excited as she is, he hugs her back, and they jumped together like a little kid. Jian Jun has a faint proud smile on his lips while Wang Kai squinted his gaze.
"Why are you guys get so excited? She only promises him to unblock his account. I read her mouth," Wang Kai murmured and tilted his head in wonder.
"??? What?!" Xiao Ni and Ji Cun Xi shouted at the same time.
Jian Jun rubs his chin, then nods his head to Wang Kai. "The exact word she said was, I'll unblock you," Jian Jun said.
Xiao Ni and Ji Cun Xi lost all the excitement they had before instantly. They look at each other and sighed desperately.
"Why do we need to have these two-party poopers in our group?" Ji Cun Xi wonders.
"You don't have to be such a killjoy!" Xiao Ni glare at Wang Kai angrily. It was as clear as the day that she only wanted to scold Wang Kai.
Wang Kai clasped his hand together and faked a rigid smile to her.
"I apologized for speaking the truth, your highest."
"Hmph!" Xiao Ni is still angry but can't find another reason to scold Wang Kai. She looked back at her brother and gets more frustrated.
"I don't believe his ability in reading lips. Xia Sha must have agreed to be my brother's girlfriend," Xiao Ni speculated.
"Hm, good point. Guan Xian's reaction is too big for something so small. Guan Xian is an opportunist. He won't get satisfied so easily." Cun Xi added with a slightly optimistic tone.
"Really?" Wang Kai and Jian Jun didn't get convinced.
"You two capitalists always expecting the worst possibilities. You two need to learn how to be optimistic like me!" Cun Xi boosted his chest. That's when Guan Xian holds his microphone near his mouth and shouted,
"She agreed to unblock me!!!"
Cun Xi's jaw dropped to the floor while Jian Jun smirked.
"H-How? What?" Xiao Ni still couldn't believe what she just witnesses.
"So? All of this just to get unblocked? What should he do when he wanted to propose? Make the whole world dance to melt her heart?" Xiao Ni got a headache instantly.
She looked at Guan Xian with the 'come on Bro! You can do better' look from afar.
"At least, he is happy. Shouldn't we be too? For him?" Wang Kai murmured and turned his back to everyone.
Ji Cun Xi looked at him with a curious look.
"Aish," Jian Jun complained and trail behind Wang Kai.
Ji Cun Xi erupted into laughter when he realized what Jian Jun and Wang Kai are doing. Xiao Ni is the one with a confused face. She looks at Ji Cun Xi with a big question mark draw on her face.
"What is it?" she asked.
Ji Cun Xi tried to stop his laughter and answer Xiao Ni, but he couldn't. Holding his aching stomach from laughing too hard, he pulls Xiao Ni's arm and follows Wang Kai and Jian Jun from behind.
"Just follow, and you will see."
Without any saying, all of them come down to the grand floor, where Guan Xian is still grinning like an idiot. Ji Cun Xi had controlled his laughter, now has a friendly smile on his face.
Only Xiao Ni remain confused when Ji Cun Xi told her to wait under the stage. Xiao Ni is closely observing Wang Kai's sour face as he walks with his noble aura to the stage direction, along with Jian Jun and Ji Cun Xi.
Guan Xian is welcoming his friends with joy. He waves his hand and makes them stand slightly behind him.
Xia Sha is not far confused from Xiao Ni when Wang Kai, Ji Cun Xi, and Jian Jun, all of those big names in Capital City, is standing behind Guan Xian.
She throws Guan Xian a questioning look. Guan Xian merely replied to her question with a smile and gesture for Tang Yu Bin to come.
Tang Yu Bin comes with a piece of paper and a pen in his hand. He respectfully handed it to Guan Xian, who then give it to Xia Sha. Xia Sha raised her eyebrow as she looks at the paper.
'AGREEMENT LETTER'

Capital City, 17 December 20XX
Xia Sha
Xia Sha's eyes flare up when she read the whole narrative. Somehow, she felt that he is trapping her right now. One month ago, He said he would make her agree in white and black evidence in her office.
He really meant his word.
Guan Xian smiles as he gives Xia Sha the pen from Tang Yu Bin. He excitedly pointed at her name and said, "Sign here~"
Xia Sha gritted her teeth and signed on the place he pointed out. He retracted the paper and gave it to his three best friends behind him.
Without saying a word, Xiao Ni understands he wanted to make his friend his background while he becomes the main character. QAQ. But Xia Sha didn't.
With a darkened face, she asked him, "Do you need three witness while making me sign the paper?"
Guan Xian brush the tip of his nose and glance slightly at his three noble bestfriend. He grinned when he saw Jian Jun and Wang Kai's cold face along with Ji Cun Xi's fake grumpy expression.
"Well, what to do, I'm Gu Jun Pyo of the day," He said smugly, brushing his hair.
Xia Sha: "..."
His bestfriend behind him swear, they wanted to kill him right now.
