Chapter 1033: Got Goosebumps

“I’m gonna shave off your fiery head!”         

    

Huang Shuyi rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time today since he met this woman! He was going mad but he could do nothing at all. He didn’t pay attention to her and continued to find the right hat to hide his head full of red hair. He was certain that if he didn’t do it properly, she’d certainly find something to shave off his head.     

“What are you? A traffic light?” Xiang Wai was still not satisfied when she saw him in a bucket hat that really hid his hair perfectly. “You look like a walking red flag with that hair.”     

“But in reality, I’m the greenest flag out there,” he finally retorted. “What does that teach us? That we shouldn’t judge people from their outer appearance. It can be deceiving.”     

Now, it was Xiang Wai’s turn to roll her eyes at him.      

“I don’t even know why I even agreed to go out with you to eat. It’s real trouble. It takes more than an hour for you to even get ready.”     

Huang Shuyi turned to look at her, “What? I’m offering you a free meal and you’re still complaining? Can’t it shut you up?”     

“I haven’t seen that free meal yet,” she shot back. “Why should I shut up?”     

He pulled on his face mask and dragged her out saying, “Stop talking. That also wastes time.”     

Huang Shuyi wore the most inconspicuous clothes so he wouldn’t get recognized on the streets. He knew if even one person came to talk to him, Xiang Wai would lose her patience and he’d have to take the burnt. Not like he could avoid it now.     

“Wai, why are you here to see me today?” Huang Shuyi asked as he got into her car because that was the safer option.     

“I told you,” she answered.     

Huang Shuyi turned to look at her as he said, “Stop lying to me all the time. I’m serious.”     

“So am I,” she replied.     

“Xiang Wai!”     

Xiang Wai sighed, “Can’t I come? I wanted to see where you lived.”     

“Did you have to make such a scene just to see my place?”     

Xiang Wai nodded her head, “Why not? How would you know that the storm is coming if there is no thundering sound?” She took a moment before she said, “By the way, I’ve been thinking about who your other deskmate was and it finally came to my mind.”     

Huang Shuyi gave her an odd look because he did not expect that she was still thinking about what he said.     

Her eyes narrowed as she said, “If my memory serves me right. Your first crush is then married and even is a mother of two.”     

“Dare to laugh and I’m gonna throw you out,” he threatened.     

“It’s my car,” she reminded him. “Let’s see how you can throw me out. Let’s not forget that your muscles are for image, mine are very real and trained through real battles. You can’t even move my finger.”     

“Not like I could do it when we were younger,” he said.      

Xiang Wai laughed happily at that and even added, “Of course, how can I grow up weak? Wouldn’t I have been bullied to death if I showed weakness?”     

Huang Shuyi suddenly froze when he heard and a memory flashed through his mind. He closed his eyes and shook his head as he looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes.     

“I have a boyfriend.”         𝒪𝑽𝓵xt.𝑪𝑜𝔪

    

“What?”     

“I said, I have a boyfriend.”     

“I know,” he said. “I’m just wondering why did you feel the need to bring that up again.”     

“Just reminding you. Don’t look at me with those eyes.”      

Huang Shuyi shook his head at her but was smiling underneath his mask. The way she looked had changed. How strange that now she was more lively. Now, her temper was mixed in with mischievousness which wasn’t like her. She used to always have a gloomy air around her as if the world owed her something.     

But now, she suddenly became very relaxed and carefree.     

Whether someone else could see it or not, he could. Even during her rebellious years as a student, she always hid her loneliness. He had seen it clearly. She was always surrounded by admirers but she was still alone. And when she joined the military, it worsened. She became more serious and more temperamental and impulsive.     

Now, it looked like the answer was always the same.     

Xiang Wai just needed a family who gave her love and attention.      

Such a simple solution and it took her so long to find her answers and her real smile as well.      

“I’ll tell you honestly, I really had a crush on you once,” he suddenly ended up and Xiang Wai almost slammed on the brakes to look at him but held herself back since they were on the main road and she’d cause a big accident if she pulled up there.     

“What are you saying now?”     

“Oh, don’t you remember?” he asked. “Seventh grade, you hit me with your basketball and I fainted.”     

“Weak chicken!” she spit out disdainfully.     

“Blame is on you! Do you not even realize how strong your shot was?” He was feeling his blood boiling with her words. She really brought out the worst of him whenever she was around. “Besides, I had stayed awake studying for exams the previous night. It’s not because I was a weak chicken that I fainted!”     

“Whatever floats your boat.”     

He calmed himself down before he started again, “So, when I fainted, you came to help me and even shook me awake. That’s when I opened my eyes and saw you, I thought there was a halo around you and you looked so beautiful. I felt like I was falling in love.”     

Xiang Wai got goosebumps just listening about it. She wasn’t really serious about this whole first crush discussion. In truth, she only came to see Huang Shuyi because she only had this friend. At least, the only friend who was sincere enough to always call out on her mistakes.
