Change Him

n Li Jinhai looked surprised by the question, as if he didn't expect her to say it outloud. Zheng Tai and Su Chuanli looked down, unable to face the pressure of the mere question.

"...Can we not talk about that? It… I wasn't in my right mind…" Li Jinhai looked down. Han Lixue scoffed.

"So, you're telling me, because 'you weren't in your right mind' a girl could have lost her innocence to gangsters? Well then, you sure as hell better always be in your right mind, now and especially in the future." When she said future, She glared at him, meaning something else. " Well, I guess this is the first official day of our friendship, Jinhai. My number is the same as before, and if you need anything else, take it from Tai. Tai, I'll be leaving." Han Lixue spoke with a smile and walked out of the room, sliding her sunglasses on. A very unhappy Su Chuanli put his hand on her back and made her walk a little faster. The reception had seen the brunette that had come with these two almost sprint out of the building and now saw two very pissed people with sunglasses and a Rolex watch walk out and bang the door of the Phantom . They all sighed inwardly. Rich people… they would never understand them…

Su Rushi had fallen asleep in the back of the car, securely locking it. Han lixue got into the driving seat and shut the door. Su chuanli slammed the door angrily, earning a whack from Han lixue. He was going to protest, but seeing Su Rushi sleeping in the back, he kept quiet. The car was in complete silence except for the soft breathing of the girl sleeping. Halfway home, Su Chuanli decided to speak.

" That bastard, why-"

" Not now. Night, upstairs." Han Lixue answered very curtly, Her mood horrible. Su Chuanli sensed that she wasn't happy about this too,but why would she have agreed then? He paused. She probably has a good reason for this. If she didn't, he would flip out, but she probably knows something. Sighing, he forced his impatience out and his mood grew worse.

Su Rushi had returned to the Su residence after waking up, claiming she was hosting a girls weekend for Han Lixue and needed to prepare things. Su Chuanli rejected his parents' invite and almost dragged Han lixue back to the car while they were saying their byes. Inside Han Lixue's house, Su Chuanli ran up the stairs and to the second floor where he stopped in front of the side wall and pouted. Han Lixue sighed.

" Impatient…" She stopped him and did a retina scan when another staircase folded out.

" It's about time I have access to this room, don't you think?" He smirked and brushed his hair.

"Keep on dreaming, Young master Su." Han lixue rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out as she started climbing. "And how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling this 'the room'? It has a name! Heaven !" She whined at her stupid friend who could never remember things.

" Heaven? My Queen, don't you think you're exaggerating a bit much? It's just the hidden top floor of your house!" Su Chunali teased Han Lixue at her childish attitude. She huffed and rested her hand on her hip.

" That's because you've never seen it during the night. Hmph! Don't you dare insult my Heaven!" She climbed up and smiled at the stars. Su Chuanli followed and paused as he gasped at the view. A clear dome like roof covered the entire room, with no walls. The crystal-like stars shone and the well maintained glass made it clear to see. He got into the room and stared at the sky in amazement.

"Wow! Xue this must have cost a fortune! I can't believe I never noticed all of this before!" The entire room was plated in mother of pearl and was illuminated in the moonlight.

" Heh. Pretty genius, right? This is heaven on earth, my brother" She smiled at him smugly. " Anyway, sit down. Get whatever you want from the fridge and settle down, we'll settle the situation." Agreeing with her, Su Chuanli walked to the fridge and got out a wine bottle then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Xue, are you still a kid?" He pulled out a can of cranberry juice and waved it in front of her " still refuse to drink? You drink this so much, people might actually think you're a wine addict!" Han Lixue sighed again at her easily sidetracked friend and forced him to sit down. She poured out her cranberry juice into a wine glass and motioned for Su Chuanli to do the same. After both drank their first sip, Su Chuanli got to the main topic.

"So. Why did you agree to be friends with that son of a bitch?" Han Lixue quirked her eyebrows at Su Chuanli's direct way of speaking.

"Okay, so here's the deal. Li Jinhai didn't ask me because he wants to. It's because he needs to."

"Grandpa?" Su Chuanli interrupted.

"Dude. Let me speak." She spoke in exasperation. "And no. Not his grandfather. It's someone else. You could say… He needs my approval for something. Something really important. That's the reason I agreed-"

" Wait wait. He needs your approval and you're just giving it to him? Xue, are you crazy?!" Su Chunali, now partially drunk, banged the table and reprimanded her.

" I thought of not giving my approval, of course, but that would mean someone who deserves happiness would also be refused it. Chuanli, I'm going to teach him humanity as long as he's here. I'm going to make him someone worthy of respect." Su Chunali looked at her conflicted expressions and thought about what she said. Slowly nodding his head, he pursed his lips.

" Fine. But one strike. That's all he gets. After that, I have plenty ways to get rid of him…" Han Lixue laughed out loud at the drunk boy's ridiculous expression. Good thing he's sensible even when drunk. Only his face, it looks like he put on too much blush! Dragging him near the staircase, she decided to have fun with her new 'friend'. Imagine his face when he wakes up at Li Jinhai's house!
