"Hmm" Shui Yi answered the call.
Xiao Zhou's voice over the phone said "Let's meet– the usual place!"
Shui Yi pulled herself out of the chair collecting her possessions, Zhi Li who just entered the office watched her with her jaw open holding documents. A rare sight; Shui Yi never hurried outside during work. A workaholic such as her rushing out!!
"Um– Lady Carina" Zhi Li stood by the door
"I'll leave it you here!!" Shui Yi's voice faded as she rushed out of the office.

*****
Shui Yi sat her usual corner by the transparent glass wall along with Bai Lu.
"Your thoughts about that night?" Bai asked
"Which night?" Shui Yi threw her a question back with a blank face as she removed her gloves and placed them on the table.
"The night your episode halted midway!" said Bai Lu.
Something that was impossible, something these two friends didn't even dare to imagine, Shui Yi not excepting an episode after being touched by any man has happened. It was hard to believe. Even the slightest touch triggered an episode,Xiao Zhou held her hands for a few minutes, which should have triggered immediately but instead halted the recurring episode.
"Hmm"
Bai Lu pushed herself on closer to Shui Yi as questioned her "Could it be you are resistant to his touch, it stopped!??"
"Should I test it out?!!" Shui Yi's eyes caught Bai's eyes as they stared
Bai yelled "It's too Risky"
"Not like I'd Die!!" Shui Yi rolled her eyes.
Even if she is not resistant to his touch and encounters another attack, Shui Yi is confident in Bai's help.
"And you were so close to death two nights ago!!" Bai looked back towards the direction of the door in response to the sound.
"Well let's try it out!" Bai added turning back at Shui Yi. Shui Yi gave a smirk.
Indeed it is something that is worth the risk, Bai Lu is Shui Yi's Doctor, it was solely to help Shui Yi recover.She may not be a psychiatrist, but Bai would get her hands on anything that shows the slightest chance for her best friend's recovery.
Xiao Zhou came to them with a box, with stuffed animals hanging out of the partially closed cardboard box.
He placed the box on Shui Yi's lap and said "These are for you."
Shui Yi widened her eyes as she glared at him "What are you up to?"
He added "I'll pretend" as he pulled the chair closer to shui Yi's and sat "But on one condition–" he continued after a pause "you should keep these!!"
Shui Yi nose turned red "How are they related?"
"To make the act more believable!!" Bai took the box on Shui Yi's lap, pulled a stuffed bear and placed the box on the table.
"You are an expert!!!" Xiao Zhou threw a wink at Bai Lu.
"I know!!" Bai faced Shui Yi as she stood up, looking at the questioning look on her face, she said "You hate them, but you still keep–no you treasure them, a convincing act of love!!!" And put the bear on Shui Yi's lap.
Shui Yi held the bear as she pressed it's legs and hands tightly "Really?"
Bai Lu patted on Shui Yi's shoulder and said "Treasure the presents your boyfriend gave!!" and gave a lopsided grin.
Bai left the two to get some snacks.
"When will you be free?" Asked Shui Yi
"I can make time this week, but I'll be busy next week!" Xiao Zhou answered looking into his phone at his schedule.
Shui Yi nodded "Let me set a meeting with my grandmother"
"First go on a date!!!" Bai entered with a plate a muffins and cookies."Also– learn what couples do!!"
Mrs.Chen has a keen eye, nothing can escape her eyes. Even if the so called boyfriend was right in front of her eyes, she will be sceptical. To persuade Mrs Chen, Shui Yi should put forth solid proof.
"Like what??" Xiao Zhou Shrugged
"You don't know that??" Bai asked "Have you ever dated before"
Xiao Zhou nodded his head sideways
"Really!!! This is first time?!!" Bai drew her eyes and looked at him intently "You first girlfriend is an act!!" She added "you pitiful child!!"
"I'm not a kid" Xiao Zhou flared.
"Hmm" Shui Yi coughed.
"First hold hands!!" said Bai.
Response to Bai Lu's words Shui Yi tilted her head, she raised a brow and let out a sigh.
Cunning!!
She put her hand forward on the table and turned her gaze at Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou on Shui Yi's look he streched out his hand, and took Shui Yi's hand into his.As he held her hand his ears turned red at the meeting of their eyes.
I feel nothing!!
As she stared at Xiao Zhou holding hands she started thinking
I— am resistant!!!!!
Shui Yi analyized her situation that night at bridge her attack stopped midway even though it should have worsened after him holding her hands!
The next night at the pub the slightest touch of the drunk man passing caused her an immediate episode.
Only his touch!!!!
Observing the two Bai Lu said " You guys are acting like first timers" she let out a lengthy sigh "At this rate you'll get caught"
She pulled out her phone from her pocket and shoved the phone at their faces.
"You go on a Date here" she said.
As she placed the phone on the table "You can let go of the hands now!!" She rolled her eyes.
