Novel Full 246 Missing a friend
“So, you have a problem in this chapter?” Song Xueyun asked as she saw the chapter that An Xiulan was showing her. “Actually, it’s not that easy but if I explained it to you well, it won’t be that tough either. However, I need both of you to not bicker and only focus on the notebook, do you get it?”
“Xueyun, you are even stricter than Yan Ge, ” An Xiulan sighed.
“Is he even strict with you?” Song Xueyun rolled her eyes. “I think these days he is more happy than ever. One day, he even waved hello to me. Can you believe it?”
An Xiulan and Han Zixin didn’t say anything because they had discussed how suspicious Gu Shangyan had been behaving all this time. They could spy on him but they chose to give him a benefit of the doubt.
Song Xueyun began explaining the chapter to the two best friends. It took almost four hours and now the three of them were exhausted.
“It’s getting dark. We will leave now, ” An Xiulan said while Han Zixin was packing their bags.
“It’s dinner time. Stay for dinner, ” Song Xueyun insisted. “My dad is home early. He cooked a delicious meal.”
Han Zixin didn’t stop packing because he knew that An Xiulan wouldn’t stay. Of course, they had best friend telepathy.
“It’s not that I don’t want to but Lu Xuan just texted me saying I should return soon, ” An Xiulan lied without batting eyelashes.
“Okay, ” Her expression hardened as she heard Lu Xuan’s name. “You should go now. It’s getting late.”
“Bye, ” An Xiulan waved at her. “All the best for exams. You will top for sure.”
Song Xueyun smiled a bit.
When An Xiulan and Han Zixin left the Song house, he asked, “What’s the verdict?”
“Lu Xuan is the root cause of the problem, ” An Xiulan concluded. “Have you noticed how every time I took Lu Xuan’s name, she became sad? I think my brother is the reason why she is avoiding everyone.”
“What did he do now?” Han Zixin wondered out loud.
“Maybe, he didn’t do anything, ” An Xiulan muttered. She knew in her heart that Song Xueyun would come around. Her friend was not the type of person to wear emotions on their sleeves.
Song Xueyun wouldn’t face anyone until she was sure that she had defeated all the demons. Maybe, she was vulnerable at this time and this was the reason why she didn’t want to be around people who could undo all the progress that she was making.
.ᴄOᴍ If Song Xueyun needed time, she had all the time in the world for her. But An Xiulan just hoped that she got her friend back soon as she was kind of missing hanging out with her.
“Mom and Uncle are attending a party tonight. Why don’t we go to my house first?” An Xiulan asked Han Zixin? “It’s late. Yeye will be asleep. We will have dinner at my house. Lu Xuan said he will order take-outs.”
Han Zixin shrugged nonchalantly but his eyes were shining.
When An Xiulan reached her home with Han Zixin, she saw Yoona hanging out with Gu Shangyan and Lu Xuan in the living room. Since Gu Shangyan and Yoona always visit the same library, they were used to seeing them together.
“Hi, ” An Xiulan grinned as she ran to hug Yoona but before she could touch her, Gu Shangyan stood between the two girls holding a glass of water.
“My dear sister, aren’t you thirsty? I brought water for you, ” Gu Shangyan said with a smile.
An Xiulan’s eyes were shining with happiness and she nodded her head. “Thank you, Yan Ge. Only you care about me.”
Lu Xuan snorted. His sister was blind for sure. Couldn’t she see that the big brother was possessive of his girlfriend?
“Yoona, when did you come?” An Xiulan asked.
“Just a few minutes ago, ” Yoona replied with a smile.
Lu Xuan had an urge to roll his eyes. Those two only returned home now when he called them that mom and uncle would be coming home late. Lord knew where the two of them were dating. His mother and stepfather were attending a party. Sister was out with her best friend while he was just watching the music Videos of Yang Mei’s new album while revising for exams.
He was so pitiful. He had to study hard because he made his lady love believe that he was a top student. Once in a while, he talked to Yang Mei and she always asked about how his studies were going. Pitiful him.
“Xiulan, your package arrived, “Gu Shangyan said. “Why don’t you show Han Zixin things that you ordered for him?”
“What things?” Han Zixin furrowed his brows.
An Xiulan grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs. “I will show you the surprise I planned for you. You got me that Miss Universe bracelet that I wear when I’m not at school and so I got you a gift for winning a music competition.”
Han Zixin made a dirty face but inside he was very happy and touched.
Lu Xuan looked at Gu Shanyan and asked, “Do you want to get rid of me too?”
Gu Shangyan rolled his eyes. “Of course not, you keep an eye on the door while I talk to my girl.”
Lu Xuan groaned. “Brother, if I knew you would be so clingy to your girlfriend, I would have never persuaded you to accept her proposal.”
“At least I’m clingy to my girlfriend. Why about you?” Gu Shangyan raised his brow. “At least I don’t listen to the same music 24/7 like a certain someone.”
“What am I missing?” Yoona asked.
“Nothing, ” Lu Xuan muttered as watched the two of them whispering to each other. They really had no shame whatsoever left in them. Sometimes, he wondered how they never fell short of words to say to each other. They were always on call when they weren’t spending time together.
