Chapter 27: Engagement Party, Part 4

Xian and Yiyi had separated for the time being, as a way for each of them to try to make their own individual acquaintances. On Yiyi's side, the girl had tried to be a wallflower, but soon after a teenage boy approached her. He was acting arrogant, and offering up his phone number. She wasn't trying to be rude to a kid, but it felt inappropriate to her to get hit on by a teenager. She wasn't the type to be interested in children, she was technically at least seven years older than the boy before her. When he had started speaking to her Yiyi almost told him she was his elder... She was getting a headache from trying to maintain an elegant, and polite demeanor. On the other side of the room, Xian had been watching this scene with a somewhat irritated look. He could tell that Yiyi was exhausted, and he was genuinely stupified at how the boy thought now was the time to flirt with her. After Yiyi had tried to walk away, the arrogant boy had grabbed her hand. In an instant she slapped the hand away. She couldn't stand being touched by someone she didn't know, not to mention her mood had taken a nosedive since this little boy appeared. Xian already made it to Yiyi by the time she pulled her hand back. In a descivise motion he had put his arm out to stead her. He hadn't taken her by force, since he thought she might be shaken from being grabbed. Yiyi assesed who it was that came to help, and latched on to Xian's arm. With a glance towards the invasive kid, "Finally you're here Xian." she said, with her head leaning lightly against his shoulder. She didn't have an issue with it since they had become friends, plus technically she was his fiance too. The arrogant boy lightly flushed red, and stomped off as he realized she was trying to make him regret approaching her. Once he was out of sight Yiyi released her grip on Xian. The other boy had become ultrafocused on the small arm that had wrapped around his own. Although his limbs were longer than hers, he noticed that they weren't that muscular, the volume of his arms were only a bit bigger than hers. After a moment of being released, he had refocused his attention onto the girl in front of him. She was looking up at him with eyes that seemed to be full of graditude, however she quickly said, "Sorry for grabbing onto you and making a scene.". He felt slightly immoral for being apologized to after he was the one with corrupt thoughts. "It's fine, are you okay?" "I'm fine" Yiyi's voice cracked slightly. With a flushed look she glanced to the side to see her brother... "Ah" In surprise Yiyi involuntarily let out a hushed shout. Xian followed where she was looking, to see an angry older brother staring him down. "We should meet up with our parents, the announcement will be soon..." Xian had turned Yiyi around so they could head in the opposite direction from the pissed elder brother.
