"I'm sorry Chen. I didn't notice." Si Xia said, hanging his head. He now realised that all this could have been avoided if he had only looked at the photograph closely and used his brain.
"You still don't get it, do you!?!" Si Xia looked up upon hearing Chen exclaim to see her defeated face.
"Get what?" he asked, feeling more like an idiot by the second.
Yu Chen sighed with a melancholy smile, "You really do underestimate my love for you."
Si Xia was taken aback by this statement. He stared at Chen's sad face as she gazed at the photo of Sam kissing someone and said, "All that I told you I noticed right now. The most obvious point is that this girl doesn't have on the clips."
Si Xia felt like he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. Of course!!!! The butterfly shaped clips!!!! How could he have missed that!?!?
Xia snatched the photographs from Chen's hand and looked at them. Though the other girl's head was turned a little, but judging by the first photograph, the butterfly clips should still have been visible.
"I can guess who this girl is though. Sam once dated a Chinese girl with dark brown hair. Though her face was very different, she was about the same height and a bit healthier than me and she...hey!!!! What's wrong??!!" Yu Chen began but broke off mid-sentence as Si Xia pulled off the wig of black hair she had been wearing to reveal Chen's own dark brown hair, pulled into a bun with much difficulty.
As soon as Si Xia removed the wig, most of her hair came out and the bangs fell on Chen's forehead, quite messy.
Xia's eyes dimmed a little as he said in a small voice, "You're not wearing the clips now."
Yu Chen looked down as a lump formed in her throat. The reason she was not wearing the clips was a bit painful. But Chen shook her head and decided to come clean. She looked up into Xia's eyes for a second before she spoke, "It's because you told me to stop wearing them. But I have them right here."
Saying this Yu Chen began digging in her bag, but she never got very far with the task as she felt Si Xia's warm palms on either side of her face.
Chen looked at Xia surprised but she did not have very long to do so. Yu Chen caught a glimpse of Xia's handsome face and those deep black eyes that seemed to be burning before his lips crashed onto hers.
Yu Chen was taken aback by the intensity of the kiss as Xia pried open her mouth and entered his tongue. He almost seemed to be mad, whether at her, or himself, Chen could not tell.
Yu Chen had a very difficult time keeping her head clear. She barely registered that this kiss, though just as agressive, was very different from their last one. Si Xia seemed to be taking care not to hurt her. And then Chen became muddle headed as she let herself sink into the kiss.
Xia pushed Chen back so that she was lying on the couch and he was in top of her. All this while, he did not leave her lips even for a second. Xia reluctantly let go once Yu Chen began gasping for breath.
