The Prince with his Princess

On the day of the event, their mom woke them up one by one bright early in the morning, "WEi WEi, XUE ER it's not the time to sleep now! HURRY DOWN!" Getting off her bed, Xue Er shouted,"Did you say you guys were old friends?! Aren't you overreacting?"

These past few days were quite hectic after their mom had received an invitation to her friend's party, but because of that Xue Er was able to get Zhi Chen's number to update him with their mom plans. "We're going to the salon. Contact Zhi Chen and Yi Ping to be ready at 5. We will pick them up after we finish styling ourselves." she announced. "Yes,mom," Xue Er happily answered. "I'll tell Yi Ping," Wei Wei called. Xue Er looks over at Wei Wei and smirks, "sure~ Whatever you want madam."

"Wow, such pretty girls and handsome boys. You guys will out shine those people today," as their mom exclaimed. Xue Er stares at her mom, "Your overreacting, mom." She gave her a hard stare, and Wei Wei jumped in. "Let's get going before we're late," as she slightly pushed her mother out and signaled Xue Er to behave.

In the car, their mother quickly assigned them to their partners. "Yi Ping you're gonna be Xue Er's partner and Zhi Chen you will be Wei Wei's partner." "WHATT?!? I DISAGREE!!," as Xue Er and Wei Wei both protested. The boys were shocked too. "Girls, it's not the time to play around. There's no changing back right now. And plus Zhi Chen's mature face suits well with Wei Wei." After hearing that, Xue Er turned her gaze at the window. "You should've kept a childish look instead," as she murmurs to herself. "Huh? What did you say?" Zhi Chen leaned closer to her and she could feel her face heating up already. "N-nothing," and slowly pushed him away.

Once they arrive outside the party, their father escorts their mother inside. Her mother suddenly turned around. " Behave," as she looks at everyone and especially at Xue Er. "Well let's get going then," as Wei Wei took Zhi Chen's arm and walked in. Xue Er rolled her eyes and followed them in with Yi Ping.

"MASTER XUE ER, LOOK THERE ARE PUDDINGS" his eyes widened as they were set on the food once they entered. "Yi Ping, call me Xue Er here," she whispered over. "Okay, "Xue Er" do you want to take a look over there?" still on the food. "Do you think about anything besides food?" She rolled her eyes but still agreed.

While Wei Wei finally finished greeting people, she noticed Zhi Chen was looking at the area where Xue Er's group was and mistaken, "Do you want some food? I'll go get some." Zhi Chen denies the offer, "No, it's fine. That's supposed to be the men's job anyway."

"Then I'll head to the restroom for a moment." He nodded, "Okay, I'll wait here." After she leaves her position, a group of girls rushes to Zhi Chen's side, "Hey, are you alone?" "No, my partner just stepped out."

After eating all she can eat, Xue Er glanced up trying to find Zhi Chen in the crowd, and that didn't take long, "What The- where did sis go??" She sees a lady reaching her hand over sliding it down his arm, "May I ask for your name?" "My name-" before he finished someone pulled him away.

"Excuse me, he's with me."

The ladies were dismayed,"DID YOU SEE THAT?" one said. "THE NERVES OF HER!" the other said. " Qiu Ya, why are you so quiet? This is your party! Shouldn't be pushed off," the last one said. "I think... I know him from somewhere," Qiu Ya claimed. "REALLY!?" at once the girl surrounds her.

"Huh, where did Zhi Chen go?" Wei Wei said looking around after she came back. "If you're looking for Zhi Chen, Xue Er went and kidnapped him," Yi Ping informed her leaning against the wall. "Now did she?" she said, shaking her head, "I told her to behave." "Looks like your prince charming is missing," he stated. She gave him a look. "What? Did I say something wrong?" "YOU-"

Yi Ping quickly changed his attitude, "May I have this honor?" Wei Wei glared at him," You better not play any tricks" and took his hand.

On the other hand, Xue Er pulled Zhi Chen far away from the girls. "Ok, we're safe now," as she releases her hands from Zhi Chen's. Zhi Chen looked at her and laughed. "What just happened? I thought you were with your little boyfriend over there. Why did you come over to save me?" Xue Er looks at him like he didn't even appreciate her help just now. "Fine, I'll get going now," and as she turned to leave him, he pulled her by the arm and pulled her close. "What are you doing? Everyone is looking at us now," as she tries to move from his grip. "Where do you think you're going? Both of our partners are not here now," as he points to the dance floor where Wei Wei and Yi Ping are dancing. "I guess you're gonna stick with me now," as Zhi Chen smirks looking at her. Xue Er tries to lose his grip, but he's too strong. The group of girls who were surrounding Zhi Chen before, are staring at them.

"Let go of me," as she insisted. "Everyone is looking at us." Zhi Chen looks at her like he doesn't care. "It's okay to let you go, but you have to promise me one thing." "What is it?" "You have to be my partner for tonight and go on a date with me." "HEY! That's two requests. Didn't you say one?" Zhi Chen pulls her more in and both of them are only an inch apart. "If you don't give me a response right now, I'll kiss you." Xue Er's eyes went wide, "Fine, I promise you. Now can you let me go?" Zhi Chen smiled and slowly released Xue Er. She fixes her posture and checks if anyone is still looking. No one but the group of girls are looking at them still.

Zhi Chen clears his throat, "So, may I have a dance with you? Bowing down and waiting for Xue Er to move. "I'm bad at it," as she whispers to him. "Don't worry I'm here." Xue Er stills hesitate, "Hurry up and decide Bai Xue Er. Everyone is looking," as she thought to herself. **AHEM** She got back to her senses and decided to accept it. Xue Er took his hand and Zhi Chen guided her over to the dance floor.
