“About the group partner”, he whispered now since the teacher had begun to lecture. “You can check yours”
At the same time, Mo Xin Er's phone suddenly rang with a ding. She looked at it and saw the notification of the forum. As she scrolled through it, she found a list showing what the project entailed and the list of group partners. It seemed their literature instructor gave a project to research a certain historical artefact. When she finally looked downwards and saw the name she was paired with, her eyes widened.“Lu Yichen?!!”, she mused.“You’re paired with Lu Yichen? You’re that Mo Xin Er everyone is talking about?”“Talking about me?”“Yeah. They said you are very lucky. You will be in close contact with the hunk for two weeks. All the girls envy you.”“Tch..”Lan Zhi looked at her for a few seconds before patting her shoulder lightly, “Girl, your luck is good”His face was solemn like a wife having no choice but to leave her husband to“Yeah. You’re my partner for the Lit 125. Group project”“Am I?”Her lips curved into a frown and she replied through gritted teeth, “Yes”“Okay. So?”“…” So arrogant!!“How do we go about it? Or, do you want to change partners?”He looked at her eyes which showed that she was starting to get displeased and smiled inwardly, “No. I don’t want to”, It was rare for a girl not to jump on him when they saw him. Why would he change partners and sign himself up for devouring by them?“So, could you perhaps act a little more interested and tell me how we are gonna go about it?”“You can come to my place so we could talk”, he replied with a shrug but when he saw the distrustful expression on her face, he suddenly realized how misleading his words could be. Due to his special identity, he couldn’t be around her in public nor could he go to her place. So his place was the best meetup venue, no?“I have to be careful. My identity…”She cut in, “Okay. I get it”“
“Is something wrong?”Her voice was low but cold as she turned towards the crowd, “I thought I saw someone familiar.”“Who?”She remained quiet; her eyes searching among the crowd as she approached them. Her steps faltered when she saw that person, her knuckles turning white at the sight she saw. He stood a few feet from her. His back was faced in her direction, thus, she knew he couldn’t see her. His posture was erect, a total contrast to his usually relaxed demeanor. She knew it meant that he was either worried or angry. Judging by the cold aura oozing from him, it was probably the latter. But, there was something else that awed her. She could sense some other feeling. Was it… fear?She couldn’t make sense of what they were saying but what happened in the next moment totally jolted her awake. Her hand shot out faster than she could think. And then, her legs. Before she knew it, she was standing on the culprit’s hand, her eyes narrowed menacingly. A loud cry burst
Mo Yuan was a vibrant and optimistic person. He wouldn’t get so angry or unhappy that easily unless it was totally extreme.Anger clouded her gaze as she turned towards the leads again. He must be responsible for it. Swiftly, she threw a kick at his ribcage immediately. Mo Yuan gasped, hurriedly swooping her in his arms immediately.“Xin Er, please”His voice seemed to be at the verge of breaking and she turned to look at him. She sighed, grabbing his hand and led him out of the crowd ignoring the heated gazes of people on her. She walked past Lan Zhi who was looking at her in shock. But he still followed behind her.Mo Xin Er stood in front of her brother, her hand on her hips as she gazed at him with worry in her eyes. She wondered if she was too harsh on him for he was abnormally quiet. He wasn’t even looking at her!“Yuan”No reply.“Brother?”No reply.She bit her lips anxiously, inching closer and shook him slightly. She called out to him
She had no idea for how long they sat there as he whimpered. It must have taken its toll on him. She knew how much he liked Su Cha. They had been talking for two years and he would always talk about her at home. She knew he loved her too much.He finally calmed down and began to talk again, “I saw them molesting her behind the faculty hall. Not many people usually passed through there. But, anyone would gave seen them if they passed through there. It was in public, Xin Er. How could they do that?”“What did you do when you saw them?”“I helped her escape. But, do you know what she said? She said I was being meddlesome. That I ought to mind my business. She slapped me and ran off. I don’t know why she did that. I like her, Xin Er. I like her a lot. It hurts when I think of what happened.”“Then, what was that with the crowd?”“They tried to corner me after she ran away. He said she was his fucktoy. He said so many things. Like how he would make her beg him for sex. It
“Can you give me her email?” she asked, a tiny smile on her lips as she stood up from where she sat. She remembered, that the had shared messages through email. Her voice wasn’t very cold but when she saw the distrustful glare he was giving her, she laughed lightly, “Don’t worry. I’m not gonna eat your girlfriend.”Mo Yuan felt his fingers tremble slightly- he had no idea why. She was definitely just smiling. So, why did he feel she looked kinda scary?“Xin Er”She smiled. “Give it to me.”And he gave it to her immediately. He lowered his head again, not daring to speak. He was suddenly ashamed of himself. He had always known that his sister was definitely not like other girls but he couldn’t possibly admit that he was scared of her, would he? He had enough self awareness to know that he better don’t say anything at the moment.Mo Xin Er's fingers danced rhythmically on the k
The sun rays filtered through the blinds of her bedroom window, consequently, hitting her squarely in the face. Grumbling with dissatisfaction, she held her hand towards her face to block the sun rays. Mo Xin Er's eyelashes trembled as she shuffled herself off the bedsheets. She yawned, stretching a little before making her way to a door in the corner of the room which seemed to be the loo. She soon returned, though, a black towel hanging loosely on her shoulders. Her inky black hair dripped with water soaking the white tee she was putting on. She dried her face with the towel as she made her way to her bedroom.A ding on her phone suddenly made her glance at it. She grabbed it and her eyes widened. She scrolled on it a few times and soon brought it to her ears. She seemed to be calling someone.“Hey, Zack”His deep voice resonated from the phone. “Xin Er”“I saw your message. That… is it true?”“It is. I thin
At that thought, she went back into her room and walked directly towards a corner. Her hands fished through the set of bags placed in the corner and she soon pulled out a large satchel. She pulled it open before bringing out a whip. She seemed satisfied as she put it in her backpack.She was about to put on her shoes when the doorbell suddenly rang. She tied the laces of her sneakers and walked to the door with her backpack in hand. Her steps were light as she swung the door open with a click. She could see the assistant who was sizing her up the other day, standing at the door. He however, didn’t seem miffed this time as he looked at her with a mild gaze.“Miss Mo,” he called. “The young master asked me to get you.”She nodded with understanding as she shut the door behind her and followed him to the door of the black Bentley parked in the lot. There was hardly anyone around for it seemed most had gone for class. She herself had be
Her eyes widened – did he hear all she said?When Mo Xin Er walked into the penthouse, Lu Yichen was sitting up the stairs in the library. He glanced at the laptop placed on the desk in front of him, a tiny smile gracing his lips.The scanner placed at the foyer was undetectable, however, it had managed to catch onto something he found interesting. He had always known she was different from others but he wasn’t expecting her to bring an electric whip. From where, did she even get it?He shook his head and got up his seat to meet with her. But the very words he heard made him halt his steps.“… the penthouse is around the school…” Was she even telling someone where she was? So cautious!He dipped his hands in his knickers pockets and made his way down the stairs. He could see a little figure donned in black seated on one of the sofas in his study. Her phone was placed to her ear. She was still making tha
