Novel Full 218 Chasing the firefly
“Yoona?” An Xiulan looked at the handsome girl who was rocking a short hairstyle.
“Hmm?” Yoona looked at her.
“Let me introduce you to my brothers and mom. They will like you, ” An Xiulan said with a smile. Yoona kind of reminded her of her mother and she wanted her to meet her mom. “Xueyun, are you coming?”
“Umm, I think Aunt Feifei is calling me, ” Song Xueyun said as she disappeared from there. She was still giving cold treatment to Lu Xuan for ditching her on the movie that day. She waited for him for more than two hours only to hear that he forgot about it. Actually, she wasn’t that angry with him. If he said sorry to her, she would begin talking to him. It wasn’t a big deal but he didn’t bother talking to her again.
“My brother is a jerk, ” An Xiulan muttered under her breath.
“What?” Yoona asked as she thought she heard something..
[0)ᴠʟ “Oh, nothing! Just wondering something, ” An Xiulan replied. She found her mother talking to a lady who she didn’t recognise. She greeted the beautiful and tall lady with a smile. “Mom, this is Yoona. And Yoona, this is my mom.”
Yoona smiled as she wrapped an arm around the tall and beautiful lady’s shoulder, “And this is my mom, Shin Ha-ri.”
“I see, our daughters have already befriended each other, ” An Qinyan smiled. “You were worried about Yoona in vain.”
Shin Ha-ri smiled at her. Her daughter had trouble making friends and she was surprised to see Yoona with a girl who fell into a type that her daughter usually stayed away from. Yes, Yoona would always stay away from beautiful and talkish girls because she felt awkward in their group as she neither dress like them nor talk like them.
“Why don’t you look for your brothers?” An Qinyan said and An Xiulan dragged Yoona with her to introduce her to them.
They found Lu Xuan first who was with Xiaobao. “Lu Xuan, say hi to Yoona. She is my new friend.”
Yoona blushed but waved at Lu Xuan who greeted her back. Although he was a jerk most of the time, he was good to his sister’s friend.
“Where is Yan Ge?” An Xiulan asked.
“I don’t know, “Lu Xuan shrugged.
“Did you talk to Xueyun?” An Xiulan asked.
“No, why are you asking?” Lu Xuan asked his sister with furrowed brows.
“Because she is angry at you for what you did, “An Xiulan said with a sigh. “Shouldn’t you say sorry to her–“
“Wait, I’m getting a call. I will see you later, teeny, “Lu Xuan said as he ran to his room upstairs. He received the call from Yang Mei who called him to inform him that he left his stuff at the classes and he should pick it up from the music department tomorrow as the music classes would be closed on weekdays.
“Why is my brother acting strange these days?” An Xiulan muttered to herself. She smiled at Yoona and said, “I will introduce you to my older brother. He is nicer than my twin.”
“Xiulan, you are so lucky to have three brothers, “Yoona chuckled. “I’m only a little envious of you.”
An Xiulan grinned. “Although my brothers can be a little extra at times, they are the best in the world. I love them a lot! Just don’t tell them.”
Yoona laughed. She was envious of the relationship that An Xiulan had with everyone. She hoped that one day she wouldn’t be this awkward socially and she could make a lot of friends.
“I will show you the garden. We decorated it in the evening. It’s looking so beautiful with fairy lights, “An Xiulan said as she took Yoona to the garden. When they opened the door to the Patio, she frowned. “Why aren’t lights switched on? Yoona, stay here. I will ask someone to switch on the lights.”
Yoona nodded her head as An Xiulan went back to switch on the lights. As she was standing there, she saw a firefly in the garden. Her eyes widened in amazement. How could there be a firefly in the city?
She didn’t know if it was the firefly or if her eyes were playing tricks on her. But she saw the same flicker of light. She took a step ahead to walk to the bushes where she saw a flicker of light. Before she could touch the flicker, she felt someone grabbing her hand and pulling her back.
A shriek left her mouth as she turned to fall on another tall figure. Her eyes widened and her mouth parted to shriek again but no sound came out when her eyes met a pair of dark eyes that were filled with a hint of warmth. She felt like a person who felt warmth after staying in the cold for so long.
She couldn’t see his face in the dark but she could feel his strong arms on her waist and her skinny body was struck against him, her arms folded between their chests. She didn’t need the light to know that the person holding her hand had a chiselled face.
They were staring at each other when the dark surrounding around them lit up at once. The face of the person holding her became visible to her.
“You!” Yoona pushed him away when she looked at the boy who insulted him in the library today. Was the world so small that she had to see him again? He had already bruised her. What else did he want now?
“It’s you?” Gu Shangyan whispered. He didn’t know what was happening to him but as he placed a hand on his heart, he felt as if it was beating too fast. Did he run so fast that his heartbeat increased?
Although he had been trying to find this girl, he never expected to see her this soon. How was he supposed to say sorry to her? What should he do?
