Predicament

"Argh, I forgot about Xinyuan!" she jolted up from the bed suddenly.

Cree was amused.

"Are you worried about your godbrother?" he laughed. "I'm sure he is still in one piece."

"How do you know?" she poked at him.

"I guessed," Cree answered. "Anyway, that day, everyone saw him hugging Akira Yuan while they did their dance. Ye An saw him, too."

"Ye An is here?" she gulped. "Then why aren't you asking him to do anything about our predicament?"

Cree laughed. "Is this an excuse for you to leave me here and run away?"

"No, that's not what I meant!" she hit him with one of the pillows. "I'm not that irresponsible, Cree Ye."

"Then, did you forget about your godbrother because you were enjoying your time with me?"

She smacked him again. "Shallow!"

"I can't help it, Xiaoruo." He gazed at her with a loving look in his eyes. "Then, what predicament are you talking about?"
