Mr. Xia

Xia Xi went to Zhao Yi's apartment and helped her pack her stuff. "Didn't know you drew this good too." Xia Xi looks at Zhao Yi's sketches. "Have you ever thought about becoming a fashion designer yourself?" Zhao Yi smiles, "Of course I do. But no one thinks I can and not even Wen Nan. I showed her my sketches once and she just told me to work, and not think about it too much." Xia Xi looks at Zhao Yi. "Do you want to work together?" "What do you mean?" Xia Xi smiled, "Let's open our own brand. Our own company together."

"Really? But I don't have much money." Xia Xi thought about it for a second, then she put her hand on Zhao Yi's shoulders. "Don't worry. Just count on me."

Xia Xi called a cab and arrived back home in less than 20 minutes. "Wow, Xia Xi. Where have you been living this whole time?" Xia Xi smiled, "It's a home that I don't recognize at all." "What do you mean?" Xia Xi sat down with her and told her the whole story.

���WOAH, I didn't even know that you've gone through this much," as Zhao Yi exclaimed after hearing what Xia Xi told her. Xia Xi looked at the time and it's so late already. "Why don't I bring you to your room and get washed up?" "Sure." Xia Xi helped Zhao Yi bring up her stuff and brought her to the room next to hers.

"This will be your room from now one. It's right next to mine, so if you need anything just ask me." "Wow, Xia Xi. It's so nice." Zhao Yi walked in and twirled around the whole room. This is like the size of my apartment. "Hope you like it." "Of course I do. Oh, what room is that at the end of the hall? I glanced over before and it's kinda creepy." "Oh it's nothing. It's just the things that I don't use anymore." Zhao Yi layed on the bed, "It's so comfy Xia Xi. I feel like I could fall asleep already." Xia Xi stares at her and smiles, "Why don't you go take a shower first and I'll make you something to eat." Zhao Yi quickly raised from the bed, "Roger that," and grabbed a change of clothes, and headed to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Xia Xi is making fried rice. "Wow, it smells so nice." Xia Xi turned and saw Zhao Yi in the kitchen. "Take a seat at the table and I'll be done soon." Zhao Yi nodded and quickly went to take a seat. A few minutes later Xia Xi brings out two bowls of fried rice. Zhao Yi quickly scoops a spoonful of rice into her mouth. "It's so good Xia Xi. When did you become a chef?" Xia Xi laughed and ate her rice too. "So Xia Xi, are you really going to open your own company?" Xia Xi looked at her, "Do I not look serious?" Zhao Yi puts down her spoon, "But what about De Lin and your grandmother? You really going to let all those things go?" Xia Xi averted her eyes and then looked back at Zhao Yi. "There's really nothing I can't let go. I want to prove to her that without her, I still could do as fine and way better." Zhao Yi picks up her glass of water and puts it in front of her. "Then, I'll support you all the way through." Xia Xi smiled and clung their glass together. "Partners to be."

The next day, Zhao Yi had sent in her resignation letter and stayed home the whole day with Xia Xi. "So, what's the first step?" as Zhao Yi sits on the floor with Xia Xi in the living room. "I found this studio and the rent isn't that bad. I still could at least pay for the rent. But the one thing is, the studio belongs to Lei kai Xuan." Zhao Yi's eyes wide opened, "That's good. He's the one that causes you like this. You should go talk to him and give this studio to you for free." "But I don't want to see him ever again. Since the day I first saw him, I've been having bad luck." Xia Xi scrolled through more and saw if there's anymore studios that she liked. After an hour or so, Zhao Yi found one. "How about this one?" She walks over to Xia Xi and the studio is about the same size that she saw before. The place that it is at, is pretty nice and transportation is good also. Xia Xi checked the rent and it's perfect. "Good, let me call the agent."

The next day, Xia Xi and Zhao Yi arrived at the place. The studio is on the 5th floor and once she got there, the agents were already waiting outside. "Sorry to keep you waiting," as Xia Xi approaches him and shakes his hand. "No worries, and before we head in, there's also another person coming." "Another person?" as she looks confusing at Zhao Yi.

The elevator opens and a young handsome guy walks out. "Mr. Xia, you're finally here." The agent walks up to him and shakes his hands. "Let me introduce you to Ms. Xia, who is renting your studio." Xia Xi and Zhao Yi walk up to him, "Nice to meet you," Xia Xi holds her hand out, but he just stares into her eyes. She looked at Zhao Yi confusingly, and then back at that Mr. Xia. "Xia Xi, long time no see." "Do I know you?" He didn't answer her and just walked in. The agent followed him in and Zhao Yi stared at Xia Xi. "Are you sure you don't know him? He seems like he does know you and plus his last name is also Xia." "A lot of people's last name is Xia. This might be just a coincidence." "Are you really sure? He knows your name too." "Just don't think too much!" Xia Xi quickly caught up to them and walked in the studio.
