Behold! The Author her Majesty :)))))) Miss Chai Jidan! Our beloved writer!\n********************\nOn return to their office, Xiao Hui and Chang Tian caught sight of plenty of snacks and beverages ready on their desks. Having a glance at Xia Yao, they saw the man comfortably sitting cross legged, raising an eyebrow while gazing at them elatedly.\n"Heaven! What's up?" Xiao Hui rushed towards the desks, hastily putting the food into his mouth.\n"It's all for you" Xiao Yao replied.\nChang Tian nearly jumped out of his skin. "What special day is this?"\n"Nothing special. I'm just in a good mood."\nXiao Hui tried hard to open a package of melon seeds. Unfortunately, the rip was so large that the seeds spilled all over the floor. As Xiao Hui arched his back to tidy the mess, Xia Yao unhesitatingly pulled him up straight.\n"Don't do that. Leave it to me."\nHearing the offer, Xiao Hui and Chang Tian secretly exchanged a glance. Which great bliss on earth could make Honourable Xia do the cleaning of his own accord ?\nIndeed, happiness and desperation are always linked with each other. Before meeting Yuan Ru, days and months just steadily elapsed with nothing worth celebrating for Xia Yao. To the contrary, after all the crises he had overcome for the past few days, those two nuisances eventually got out of sight. Never before had he enjoyed such relief and refreshment.\nBeing off-duty that evening, Xia Yao, still on cloud nine, held his colleagues' shoulders as they made for the office gate, laughing and chatting vaguely.\n"Tell your brothers, what made you so jubilant today Xia Yao?"\nXia Yao pursed his lips, pretending to be keeping a secret as his face showed a beatific expression.\n"I won't spill the beans."\n"Oh Xia, are you deliberately provoking our curiosity? Chang Tian, he's gonna keep us in the dark! What to do now?"\nAnd then Chang Tian, together with Xiao Hui poked Xia Yao for the answer.\n"Stop it, haha. Stop..."\nXia Yao pushed their teasing hands away, half annoyed half enjoying it. While the three were having fun, Xia Yao suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar car parking not so far from his place. His radiant face immediately froze off and so did his voice.\n"STOP!" Xia Yao roared in anger.\nThe other two withdrew their hands right away, yet still teasing,\n"Why did you get mad all of a sudden ? You were fine until we just slightly touched, what's up?"\nXia Yao tried to keep his face a bit more gentle before pulling smile with difficulty, "Nothing to bother. You two just go home, I'm gonna get my car".\nAfter Xiao Hui and Chang Tian had departed, Xia Yao returned to his previous bold expression, heading for the car on the other side of the road.\n"Why are you still here?"\nYuan Zong's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, reached out of the window to shed away the ash. His penetrating gaze continuously swept all over Xia Yao's face without any sign of inhibition.\nXia Yao, on his last drop of patience, asked Yuan Zong, "I have told your sister, hasn't she told you yet ?"\n"She has."\nXia Yao felt irritatingly objected to that tune of Yuan Zong, which was so blunt and discourteous but at the same time surprisingly calm.\n"Then why the hell are you here!?" Xia Yao's voice turned threatening.\nYuan Zong got out of the car, using his feet to put out the cigarette as the man's eyes solely focused on Xia Yao from a very near distance.\n"I've fallen for you." (Ann: bleh, and the story just got interesting 😂😏)\nXia Yao, seeing red at the moment, scolded Yuan Zong, "What do you mean "having fallen for me"? Your sister has already grown bored of me, then why can't you control yourself for her?"\nYuan Zong's lips slightly curved into a nearly invisible smirk as he stretched out his arm, pointing at his own chest with intense force before poking Xia Yao's temple.\n"What I meant is, 'I' have fallen for 'you'".\nThe statement got out of Yuan Zong's lips as if he had performed a Kamekameha, in the blink of an eye, forced Xia Yao to step back in astonishment.\n"Non-nonsense- I don't get it! Do I really look like a gay?!"\n"I've fallen for you, that you're gay or not doesn't matter," said Yuan Zong.\n"And you think I will fall for you too?" Xia Yao angrily talked back.\n"Whether you do or do not doesn't matter."\n"You mean that you like me makes no difference to me?"\n"It does."\n"What?"\n"The person I've fallen for is you, how can that not worth bothering?" (Ann: Mind-fuck 😝)\nFuck you! Right, then I won't fool around with this dickhead anymore!\nXia Yao replied, "Motherfucker! If I ever manage to fall for you, I will go cut my own dick!" (Ann: we'll hold you to that won't we? XD 😂😂😂👌🏻)\nThen he turned round and fled right away. His face felt like being pressed by a scorching iron, turning tomato red, and might even evaporate if there had been any spell of wind passing by!\n ***********************\nCongratulations: for completing the challenge from the last chapter!
