Hearing this name, Yu Chen's brain stopped working. All she could think was that tone, sweeter than honey, that could melt any girl's heart, was calling her name. And not just any name, it was his special name. Yu Chen's eyes almost watered, but she composed herself and was about to start walking again when it hit her.
"He-he called me Chi Chi, but-but how? We still have not talked to each other??" Thinking this she turned around. He was looking at her, looking like she was his most beautiful treasure, like she was the only one he could see.
"What is with that look? We don't know each other yet. Right? No Chen, no. It's all in your mind. He DOES NOT care about you." she repeated to herself and continued walking.
But again he called out, this time a lot more composed and with a little less emotion in his voice, "Chen."
"Okay, now something's wrong." Chen said to herself and turned to look at him with a questioning gaze. "Umm, could you- could you help me with my computer assignment?" he asked, a little embarrassed.
Yu Chen: "No, of course not."
Si Xia: "...."
Yu Chen: "You are a year senior from me, are you not? How will I able to help with your assignment?" she looked at him as though he was an idiot.
Si Xia: "Oh please. I know you are Yu Chen. The great computer prodigy. You could definitely help me, or even better, teach me!!"
Yu chen inwardly: "Okay, this was not in the plan. When did he become so sweet and oh god, so sweet. No Chen no. Control yourself, you cannot melt, not again."
Outside: "Nah. I'm busy. Ask someone else." saying this she turned and left.
Si Xia stood speeches for a few moments, before he spoke to himself, "Okay, since when did she become so sassy. I mean was she ever able to reject doing someone a favour? And this is not how I remember this day. Doesn't matter. I'm gonna love you so much this time. Just you wait, Chi Chi."
Then he made his way back to his hostel. He was really enjoying being back, before everything went wrong and Yuan Zuan pulled him and Chen apart. Thinking of Yuan Zuan, his heart was filled with hatred. But the next moment a face flashed before his eyes and he was grinning like an idiot. Those beautiful green eyes, dark brown hair, which were left open and ever so gently brushed her face. But most importantly, her face today had that innocence, the carefree and happy look which was lost when he had last seen her. Yes, he was going to preserve this look, he was going to give her everything she deserved and he was not able to give her last time. Thinking this he smiled and hurried off home.
Meanwhile....
Somewhere in the city, Yu Chen was returning to the apartment in which she lived. And her thoughts were a complete contrast to Si Xia's thoughts.
