Qiu Ya x Xue Er

As soon as they made eye contact, Xue Er immediately avoided his eyes and he did the same. Qiu Ya notices him frowning, "Zhi Chen?" and looks at the direction he was looking at. Biting down on her lips, she snapped, "He's still thinking about that trash after all these years!" Putting on her innocent look, "Oh, Zhi Chen isn't she the one that was with you at my parents' party?" Looking over that Xue Er again, he replied, "You have some good memories," giving Qiu Ya a smile. "Well, Qiu Ya is good at remembering people's faces," praising herself, "Shall we say hello to them, since she is your friend," wrapping her arms around his and walks toward them as she suggested.

"Hey," waving at Xue Er. Xue Er and Yi Ping gave each other a puzzled look. "Hi?" Xue Er greets back. "Oh, you might not know me but I am the daughter of the Lan family." "Oh," Xue Er said, trying to keep the conversation ongoing but didn't know where to look. Zhi Chen stood there and Qiu Ya was doing all the talking. "By the way, something is different from the last time I saw you… Did you cut your hair? It's so cute!" "Ah, yes," Xue Er said, touching her hair, "Thank you."

Xue Er, who was sitting there felt so uncomfortable, suddenly stood up. Yi Ping looked up at her, "Xue Er, let's go get some food to eat. I just saw another new dish out." He took Xue Er's hand and walked through Zhi Chen and Qiu Ya.

"Look at them. Aren't they a perfect match?" as Qiu Ya said while looking at Zhi Chen. But Zhi Chen ignored her and sat down.

"Xue Er, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you," Yi Ping looked at the food and his mouth started to get watery. "I don't feel like eating, you can eat without me." "But if you don't eat, then how do you have the energy to fight back. I could tell that Qiu Ya came with no good. So better eat something or else she'll just K.O. you in just a second." Yi Ping picked up a piece of cake and handed it over to Xue Er. But Xue Er didn't take it. "Come on just one bite?" Xue Er shakes her head. Yi Ping is left with no choice, but scoops a spoonful of the cake and stuff it at Xue Er's mouth. "Hey, what are you doing?" Yi Ping laughed, "Is good right?" Xue Er tastes the cake in her mouth and nods her head. "It's not bad." "See, I told you. Eat this and you'll have full energy and be happier. Do you want me to feed you the rest of it?" as Yi Ping gives her a smirk. "No thank you, I could eat it myself. I'm not a baby anymore and who feeds like that. Look at my mouth, full of cream." Xue Er took a napkin and wiped her mouth. "Wait, there's one more here," as Yi Ping used his fingers and wiped it for her.

"Look at them, aren't they sweet?" Qiu Ya leans over looking at Zhi Chen who was drinking the whole time. "Want to go grab something to eat?" Zhi Chen didn't budge. "Come on, stop drinking, and come with me to get some food. I'm hungry." Qiu Ya drags Zhi Chen out of his seat and goes to where Xue Er is standing.

"Here, they come," Yi Ping pointed them out as he stuffed a mini sandwich into his mouth, "She likes a moth attracted to your light," laughing at his joke. "Omg! Cover your mouth!" Xue Er said disgustedly, " My poor Wei Wei..." Yi Ping scoops another spoonful of cake before he could stuff it in her mouth. Xue Er picks up a glass of wine, and asks with a grin, "Why did you pause?" Moving the glasses back and forth warning him her next move.

Suddenly someone accidentally pushed her hand, "WAH-! That was so close!" staring down on the glass of wine. "I'm so sorryy!" "It's all good, Xue Er could use a shower though." Xue Er gave him a hiss. As she was about to drink it before it actually spills, Qiu Ya ran up to her, "Xue Er-!!" With a thump, Xue Er's eyes widen. "Oh. My. GOD! I'M SO. SORRY!" Yi Ping immediately looked for tissues. "Zhi Chen, I made Xue Er spill her drink. Can you help her out for me ?" Before he does anything, Xue Er rejects his help, "Yi Ping is getting tissues already and I have some already. It's fine," in an irritated tone.

"Why are you being annoyed about? Qiu Ya said she is sorry," Zhi Chen scolded, "She is trying to help." Xue Er let out a laugh, "Excuse me if I sounded annoyed. But I really don't want your help so-," she gave him a hand gesture telling them to leave.

Once Yi Ping came back with the tissue, he saw how tense the situation was. He quickly turns to Xue Er, "Here's the tissue." Xue Er took it and walked away from them. "Hey, wait for me." As Yi Ping ran after Xue Er, he gave them a look. "Talk to you guys later."

"Stop walking so fast. I can't catch up," as Yi Ping shouts. Xue Er stopped and stood there. "Why am I acting like this? I was the one that left him at first." Xue Er stood there mumbling to herself. "What did you say? I couldn't hear you before," as Yi Ping catches his breath. Xue Er looked at him, "Maybe I shouldn't have come," she said it weakly. Yi Ping took her hands. "You can do this! That Qiu Ya is just using your weakness to fight with you. You can't just leave like that. Xue Er, you have to show who is the boss here." Yi Ping looked at Xue Er sternly. "You're right, I can't let her bully me like that." Xue Er took Yi Ping's hand and walked back inside together.

Rolling up her sleeves, she picks up a new glass of wine and pours it on Qiu Ya, "Do you think I don't know what you are trying to do. If you want to act, at least act better," is what Xue Er wants to do as she walks back. Instead, she decided to act along with Qiu Ya, with manners she exaggerates, "I'm sorry for giving you an attitude when you were just trying to ask him to help." Qiu Ya squinted her eyes at Xue Er, "It's okay. You were just in the heat at that time. I would too." Xue Er smirk, "You would too, hm?" Look at Zhi Chen and shrug.

"Did you need anything from me? Before all this happened," fingering the stain on her dress. Not one sight of guilt is shown on Qiu Ya as she looks at Xue Er's bloody dress and back, "Um, I forgot." And did her little oopsie hit in the head thing. Xue Er looks at her with no expression, trying to keep her inner voice in, "You should have at least came up with a better excuse." Taking a deep breath, Xue Er felt like she was wasting her time with her and regret coming back to her, "Qiu Ya, may I ask how old are you?"

Before Qiu Ya could answer, people started coming up to Xue Er and wondering what happened to her dress. Xue Er could feel their eyes and gave them a look. Unexpectedly, Zhi Chen, who also noticed others' gaze, took off his suit and put it over her. "I don't need this," Xue Er removes his suit off her shoulder. Zhi Chen sighed and said, "Let's just say this is Qiu Ya's apology. Until you leave, keep it on."

"Huh, this is your way of being nice? A way to protect your girlfriend?" as Xue Er raises her voice.

"I don't need this kind of help."

"Don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone," as Zhi Chen looks at the crowds and back at Xue Er.

"Embarrass? So, what? Let them see all they want. I don't find this embarrassing."

"Xue Er, when did you even become like this?"

"Then how should I be? Should I act like your girlfriend right there and be so fake around everyone. Sorry, I can't do that." Xue Er throws his jacket back at him and leaves the party.
