nSu Xiaomo stood baffled on the spot.
nDamn it! Did he have to be like that?!
nPressing her hand to her tough girl’s chest, she sent An Xiaxia a message. “I’m hurt! Awww!”
nAt this moment, An Xiaxia had just landed in Yu City Airport. Behind her stood Sheng Yize.
nTheir eyes met accidentally and both looked away in embarrassment.
nThe Sheng family driver had long been waiting for them outside. After they got into the car, Sheng Yize instructed the driver to send An Xiaxia back home first.
nAn Xiaxia pretended to play with her phone and didn’t talk to him.
nAt the thought of that “boob-groping incident” the other night, An Xiaxia felt like drilling a hole in the ground, stuffing herself into it, and hiding there forever!
nBloody hell! That was so humiliating!
nHer phone vibrated a few times. Tapping the screen, she saw that it was from Su Xiaomo. She replied with an emoji and the two chatted from thereon. They then agreed to have skewered meat together later.
nThe car stopped outside the An family home.
nAn Xiaxia covered her face with her hands and couldn’t get out quickly enough. Sheng Yize cleared his throat, but didn’t see her off at the door as he usually did.
nThe driver asked in confusion, “Young Master, aren’t you going to walk Miss An to the door?”
nSheng Yize cast him a stern look, which shushed the driver right away and made him shudder.
nYoung Master was so frightening today…
nSheng Yize leaned back in his seat and looked absentmindedly at the view outside. Various memories flashed through his mind, all of which were warm ones.
nHe then recalled the unbelievable softness he had touched that night and the skin behind his ears turned pink.
nThat girl… had really grown up.
nHe watched as An Xiaxia walked away, absorbed in his thoughts.

nAn Xiaxia greeted the rest of her family and went straight to the barbecue stall, ignoring what a long and tiring trip she had just had.
nSu Xiaomo was grilling the meat while wiping away her tears with a tissue, which frightened An Xiaxia. She rushed to her side and shook her. “Momo, don’t be like this! Didn’t you promise me you’d never cry?! Didn’t you say you’d be as free as the wind?!”
nSu Xiaomo rolled her eyes. “I got smoke in my eyes!”
nAn Xiaxia was embarrassed. On closer look, she saw that Su Xiaomo really wasn’t crying, so she let go of her.
nThe two chatted as they went through their meat. An Xiaxia told her about what had happened in the foreign country, while Su Xiaomo talked about her doomed fate with He Jiayu.
n“Why did I have to fall for him? Xiaxia, it’s so painful to like someone,” Su Xiaomo said mournfully.
nAn Xiaxia fell silent. She didn’t even react when Su Xiaomo took her glossy chicken wing.
nShe didn’t want to see her best friend sad, but there was nothing she could do to help when it came to relationships.
n“What exactly do you see in him?” An Xiaxia sighed.
nSu Xiaomo sounded aggrieved. “He has a pretty face.”
nAn Xiaxia gave her the finger. “You’re all about good looks!”
n“I can say the same of you!”
nThe two glared at each other while they polished off a plate of meat each. Su Xiaomo then held An Xiaxia by her arm and announced fervently, “Come, let me show you a new world!”

nAn Xiaxia looked at the row of liquor bottles on the table and the men and women moving cheek-to-cheek on the dance floor; deafening rock-and-roll music filled her eyes. She said timidly, “We’re still minors and we shouldn’t be drinking…”
n“Forget it! Tonight, we’re both eighteen!” Su Xiaomo handed her a bottle of beer. “Drink! Laugh and get drunk with me… I want to forget…”
nAn Xiaxia took a sip, but Su Xiaomo had gulped down a whole bottle.
nJust then, the beer bottle fell out of Su Xiaomo’s hand.
nAn Xiaxia followed her gaze and saw He Jiayu on the dance floor. He had a girl in his arms…
