SMACK!
"Oww….," Xia Ming moaned, gently rubbing her arm which was getting swollen. Earlier in the bar, she was smacked by Xiaoruo in the same spot. "You have to stop this habit of yours. It hurts," she complained.
"It should hurt," Su Yanruo glared at her. "Why are you lying to Brother Xian? What husband are you talking about? I have no husband or whatsoever, okay?"
"Really?" Xia Ming instantly gave a teasing smile. Ignoring Su Yanruo's murderous glare, she asked, putting on an innocent face. "Then what about that Mr. First kiss stealer? Isn't he your future husband?"
Su Xian arched his brows at her words. "Mr. First kiss stealer? Future husband? Xia Ming, what are you talking about?" he asked with a gentle smile on his face. "Hehe, Brother Xian, you know while we were completing the mission, a guy - WHACK!"
Before Xia Ming could complete her sentence, Su Yanruo took a pillow and whacked her on her face. Without giving her any chance, she looked at Su Xian. "Brother Xian, she is merely pulling my leg. Nothing happened. There is no guy, no Mr. First kiss stealer or anything. She is lying." she said.
"Really?" Su Xian asked, not at all believing in her words. In his heart, he had already decided to check about the incidents related to Wu Chen's bar. Who is this guy who dared to kiss his baby sister?
"Yes, she is kidding. Don't believe her," Su Yanruo said innocently. "Isn't it Xia Ming?" she asked, giving her a threatening glare.
Xia Ming nodded. Giving out a small chuckle, she agreed, "Yes, Brother Xian. I was just kidding. There is no guy, no Mr. First kiss stealer."
"Okay," Su Xian nodded. "It's good that there is nobody. Still, I will say this again. Don't fall in love. Don't look at attractive charming guys. They are nothing but heartless animals. They only after your body and as girls you need to -"
"- protect our heart as well as our body. We know, Brother Xian. Stop worrying about us," Su Yanruo and Xia Ming said unanimously.
"How can I not worry? I have two beautiful, cute little sisters, and I need to protect you two from those lustful, perverted guys," he said. Diligently looking at Su Yanruo, he took out a few things from his pocket and gave them to her.
"What is this, Brother Xian?" she asked, looking at the things which Su Xian gave her.
"You need to take this medicine if you feel seasickness, headaches, or any kind of those specific symptoms," he said. Then pointing towards the small gold ring with a black stone attached to it, he explained carefully, "And this is a special ring for you. You need to wear it tomorrow. If you are in any kind of trouble, just tap twice on the ring. My men will be around the cruise ship, and they will quickly come to your rescue."
Undoubtedly hearing his words, Su Yanruo was silent for a moment. "Brother Xian, didn't father order you to not help me?" she asked.
Su Xian nodded, rubbing her head lovingly. "He did say that."
"Then why are helping me, Brother Xian? You will be punished because of me. Take this back. I don't want all of this," she said, returning all of the things that Su Xian gave her. She knew her father well. If he gets to know that her elder brother has helped her in any kind of way, no matter how small the help, he will be punished. She didn't want her Brother Xian to be punished because of her.
"I will be fine tomorrow. Nothing will happen to me," she assured them. "Take this back."
"Xiaoruo, stop fearing that Bastard Uncle," Xia Ming said.
"Yes, Xiaoruo. You take them. Nothing will happen to me. He might be our Father but you are my little sister." he smiled, putting the things back into her hand. "I can't be there to help you physically, but I will be assured that you will be fine if you have these things with you."
Su Yanruo's eyes welled up with tears. Quickly getting up from the bed, she instantly rushed towards Su Xian and gave him a big warm hug. "You are the best, Brother Xian. Thank you so much." she smiled gently.
"Okay, now go to sleep. Both of you," he said, gently patting her back. "Tomorrow you have a great day ahead of you. Take care."
Saying this, he kissed their forehead and wished them goodnight. Taking the tray, he left their room after giving them a slight warning to sleep early.
After Su Xian left, Xia Ming heaved a gentle sigh. "Xiaoruo, that Bastard Uncle is so bad but he did one excellent thing for us by bringing Brother Xian into our life."
"Yeah, you are right." Su Yanruo mutually agreed with a gentle smile.
Getting back on the bed, she took a pillow and when Xia Ming wasn't looking, she whacked her on the head.
WHACK!
"Oww…." Xia Ming groaned in pain. Rubbing her head, she glared at Su Yanruo. "Now what was this for?"
"Why did you mention about that Mr. First kiss stealer to Brother Xian? Don't you know how protective Brother Xian is about us? He will kill that guy," she said smacking another pillow towards her.
"But, later on, I said I was kidding," Xia Ming argued. Quickly moving aside she blocked Su Yanruo's pillow by taking another pillow in her hand.
"Do you think Brother Xian would have believed that?"
"He didn't?" Xia Ming earnestly asked.
"No, you stupid women. He didn't believe us." Su Yanruo said. "Now, he will find about everything that happened in that bar. He will find about that guy, and he will break his head for kissing me."
Seeing that Su Yanruo was worrying about that Mr. First kiss stealer, she smiled mischievously. "Xiaoruo, why are you worrying that guy? Isn't it great that Brother Xian would break his head? Like that, you won't have to see that guy again."
"But he…"
"Or Xiaoruo is it that you really fell in love with our Mr. First kiss stealer with just one kiss? Is he going to become my future brother-in-law?" she teased. "And you also didn't tell me about your first kiss? How was it? Did you feel butterflies when he kissed you? Did you feel like your heart beating faster when he kissed you?"
Su Yanruo: "..."
