Yan Ran looked up in the mirror. Just moments ago, she was certain that her life had ended. But this body was not hers, nor was the room she was in. In fact, the girl in the mirror was adorned in a deep navy dress that glittered with stars, and most importantly, Yan Ran could not feel her legs. She was sitting in a wheelchair. 
But Yan Ran recognised this girl. It was the mute who days ago, had signed to her 'help me', in passing. 
Why was she here and what was she doing?

Until You Recognise Me

Yan Ran stared at the broken pieces shocked. It broke??? Realisation dawned on her as she discovered it was just an ordinary rubix cubic - no strings attached, or rather, no rings attached.


She glanced across the table at Qing Jue, too shocked to feel embarrassed. Seeing him looking at her strangely her mouth formed an 'o' before clumsily grabbing the broken pieces and trying to reassemble them.


"Probably broke because it's old…"she muttered under her breath.


Qing Jue caught her words, amusement flashing across his face as he leaned back into the cushioned bench. "It's just a normal rubix cube, you knew that right?"


"O-of course-se," she stammered, her cheeks heating up. What she really wanted to say was, of course not! Your mum! This dinner is so romantic, and this place is well known for people to propose!


But Yan Ran couldn't vent out loud, so she puffed her cheeks and sulked.


Luckily the waitress came in time with their meals and served the mouth-watering delicacies before Qing Jue could tease her more and escalate things further.


Qing Jue observed her pouting face as she crossed her arms and looked away from him. He couldn't help feeling amused feelings. Her thoughts were written all over her face, as clear as her snow skin. He reached out and nimbly pinched her cheeks. She glared at him in response, before turning her head away not allowing him to continue squeeze her soft cheeks.


Tch. Too cute, too cute. Qing Jue resisted the urge to laugh, he knew doing so would deal some damage points. "Silly girl, what's so interesting about the toilet?"


Yan Ran wanted to punch him. I wasn't looking at the toilet your mum! "It's more interesting than you!" She retorted, harrumphing through her nose.


Qing Jue stood up, grabbed his coat before pulling her up.


"Hey! I wasn't done eating!"Yan Ran shook at his hand indignantly.


"You said the food wasn't interesting," Qing Jue shrugged.


"Alright, alright. Eat." Qing Jue chuckled. He sat her back down onto the bench. Qing Jue glared at him, fuming. However, instead of returning to his side of the bench, he sat right down next to her, chin on his hand as he watched her tiny mouth gobble up the food at sonic speed.


 "Slow down, no one's going to steal your food. Ran'er you'll get a bad stomach."


Yan Ran pretended that the cactus next to her didn't exist. He was in prick mode. But at the same time the speed of her chopsticks reduced. Good food had to be enjoyed! Qing Jue grinned. His girlfriend's reaction to his teasing was just too cute.


Half an hour later, Yan Ran put her chopsticks down. She rubbed her tummy, which felt like it was about to burst, and let out a loud burp. 


Yan Ran finally turned to look at the cactus next to her.


"What, impressed?" she snorted, not caring at all if she was ladylike.


"Yea," Qing Jue replied with a straight face.


2: Not Interesting At All!
