Siblings

Xin Xiulin was looking at a black formal shirt when she heard someone call out her name. She turned back to see one of her classmates who was waving at her. She waved back and headed towards them. While Yan Xing was smiling at her, Shen Lihua kinda looked like she saw a ghost.

"It's nice to you here Xiulin".

"Same here,"Xiulin said then she looked at Shen Lihua who definitely didn't look okay,"Hey Are you okay?".

Shen Lihua nodded hurriedly.

"So you came here all the way alone?"Yan Xing asked looking at her.

Yan Xing has been observing Xin Xiulin's clothes and actions which screams elegance and richness in every step.

"Uh no I actually came here with my friend.You guys might know him as well."Shen Lihua and Yan Xing obviously know who she was speaking about because that person just barged in .

Jun Bohai came into the store to find Xiulin and when he saw her he went in and kept his hand on her shoulder from behind recognising his classmates too.

"Hey, guys how are you doing?".Shen Lihua felt like a cat got her tongue because even if she wanted to talk to him she didn't feel any words coming out.

So Yan Xing replied in her stead, "We are doing fine".

"Oh, nice".

Then he turned to Xiulin,"Xiuxiu I found a perfect dress for you".

"Oh, so did I. Also, I was thinking of these two here too. How about you guys join us for dinner?"

"Sure, why not?"Yang Xing said while Shen Lihua nodded too.

"Let's go then Bohai?"

Then they all went to the 3rd floor while Jun Bohai kept whispering something to Xin Xiulin who was smiling and nodding. Yang Xing could see that Shen Lihua wasn't really comfortable, but she didn't want to leave either, so they didn't have any other option than to see these love birds whisper sweet nothings not that they know they were talking about that only.

While on the other side,"Are they from our class because I kinda felt like they were".

"Yep".

"Uh, is the second girl okay? because she looked like a tomato a moment ago then a brinjal".

Xin Xiulin couldn't help but laugh out now because that was funny.

"She is okay"she said to him reassuringly.

"I don't know you guys were dating. We feel like we are crashing your date"Yan Xing said smiling awkwardly.

Jun Bohai started having a coughing fit while Xiulin looked at him and can't stop laughing. Then she gave him water. Xiulin and Bohai looked at each other started laughing more. While Yan Xing and Shen Lihua looked at each other awkwardly.

"We are not a couple, "Xiulin said giggling.

"We are friends and more like siblings, "Bohai said then.

While Shen Lihua couldn't help but feel stupefied,"Siblings?"she asked again.

"Yes, Mama Yang would have loved the idea of us being a couple though, "Xiulin said giggling with Bohai. Xiulin was ok with calling Yang Shi Aunt but everyone in the family insisted that she has to call her Mama. And after a few days, it got easier as she got used to it.

"Mama Yang?"Shen Lihua asked her not knowing who that was.

"It's my mother"Jun Bohai replied.

"Oh, then why she?"Yan Xing asked.

Jun Bohai was about to answer, but Xiulin stopped him reassuring him that she wants to talk.

"Um Actually I got into an accident a few months ago and my mother died in that accident. So ever since I've been living with the Juns as Mama Yang is my mom's friend I call her that"Xiulin said.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is that why you changed classes and didn't come to classes? "Yan Xing asked.

"Uh, yes"Xiulin replied.

"I'm sorry for your loss. She must be a great person just like you. "Shen Lihua said, smiling. She felt guilty for ignoring her and misjudging her. She also thought they would be great friends.

"Thank you she sure was".Xiulin thought back to the time Li Huan was alive by the memories of the original owner.

Xiulin loved her mother and she also knows that one of the real Xiulin's regrets was that she never told her mom that she loved her when she was alive.

While Jun Bohai didn't know what to do to make her feel better."Hey it's time for desert"he said turning to Xiulin.

As she looked at him gratefully and smiled when he took her hand under the table and squeezed it. After that, they all went to watch the movie Jun Zixuan has produced. Xiulin never really went to a movie theatre before, full of crowded people she did go to an empty movie theatre once when she told her brother that she wanted to go to a theatre.

She sighed again thinking of her brother. Adrian must be missing her now and she is here happily enjoying her life without caring for him. She felt guilty for giving so much pain to her brother, but she has no way to connect to her brother. A nobody like her in China can't call him if she felt like.

That is also one of the reasons why she has been waiting for some updates on the black market. According to one of her contact, it was said that everything is silent because her brother was on a hiatus and another said that her brother dead.

The moment she heard that her brother's death she started having a panic attack which was happening a lot recently since she has come to this body.

Jun Bohai kind of helped her as he kept spending a lot of time with her making her get better slowly by not thinking of other stuff. The movie was actually good. She has never been to a Chinese movie before.

It was actually a college love story. She never really understood how guys or girls just left everything aside for their love. She felt it was very selfish of doing that. How could you leave all your life for a stranger who you have just met a month ago or a year ago? "I, Elena would never do that," she told herself as she continued watching the movie.
