It's a happy day at the Chi compound but not so happy for some of the people gathered at this get together as a result of their entangled up relationships.
"Hi. Is this seat taken?" Ailun repeated his question when he didn't receive any response the first time.
It has taken all his courage to come and ask this simple question.
Xiuying turned to his side to see that it was Ailun who had just asked him that question.
"Er, no. No one's taken it." Xiuying said before returning his eyes to where he was staring at before he had been disturbed.
"Then, I'll take this seat. Thank you." Ailun got no response for the guy's attention was on her adopted cousin once again, who is now joining them and was walking behind Lan.
He sighs and sits down on the empty seat which is between Xiuying and Xu Wu. And ironically, both are now too busy doing nothing but openly staring at Lui.
He started to regret having even decided to sit among these two.
