Mysterious Girl meets Loverboy I

Chapter 22

Shuji couldn’t sleep well because of the kiss he received from Lixue. He touched his lips before shaking his head, thinking of betraying his girlfriend.

“I felt a different beat in my heart when she kissed me,” Shuji thought to himself before closing his eyes. He still remembered Lixue’s eyes closing.

Suddenly, his heart beat faster.

“This can’t happen!” Shuji’s annoyed whisper gripped his heart.

He got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked in the mirror and saw his own reflection.

After he left the bathroom, Shuji changed clothes. He looked at the clock and saw it was five in the morning.

“What will you order, sir?” the bodyguard approached him as he came down the stairs.

“I’m going to eat breakfast. She—your boss, Lixue—is waking up?” Shuji asked the bodyguard when he turned to look at him.

“She hasn’t woken up yet, sir. I’ll prepare you something to eat,” the bodyguard answered gently.

Shuji sat on the sofa and took his cellphone out of his pocket. He saw many calls and texts from his girlfriend.

Text messages

Darling (Erika): What news do you have there?

When did you and Leatrice come back to Manila?

Text Message

Darling (Erika): What happened? You didn’t miss me? How are you and Leatrice doing here?

I’m already jealous because I know you and Leatrice are together.

Call me, darling. I’ll go back to their resort even without her permission.

Shuji read his girlfriend’s text one by one, feeling guilty. He called her on his private number.

Calling…

Shuji: ….

Erika (Darling): Kon’nichiwa?

(Hello?)

Shuji: Darling…

Darling (Erika): Finally, you called me! I was worried about you and jealous of her.

(I’m glad you called me. I was worried about you and jealous of her.)

Shuji: I was doing something and just had time to call you.

Erika (Darling): Before we went back to Manila, you told me you were going to help her. What are you doing now?

(You told me you were going to help her before we went back to Manila. What are you doing now?)

Shuji: Yes, I’m helping her, darling.

Erika (Darling): When are you coming back to Manila?

Shuji: …

Erika (Darling): Darling?

Shuji: I’ll talk to Lixue when we get back.

Erika (Darling): I miss you, Darling.

Shuji: I miss you too.

Erika (Darling): What are you doing there today?

Shuji: I just woke up sitting.

Erika (Darling): We’re the same, darling. Yes, next week, the pictures we took at their resort will be released.

Shuji: Good. I’m going to eat breakfast.

Darling (Erika): Me too! Let’s be together so we can feel close.

Shuji: Alright…

While Shuji was having dinner with his girlfriend, he first informed the bodyguard that he could make a video call and that they agreed to do so in the dining area.

After talking to his girlfriend, Shuji patted his forehead and decided to talk to Lixue when they returned to Manila.

“You woke up early?” Lixue approached from behind Shuji, causing him to look at her.

Lixue ordered the bodyguard to leave them alone.

“Darling, Leatrice is what you’re looking for,” Shuji said to his girlfriend on the video call.

Shuji held the cellphone in front of Lixue.

“Good morning, Erika,” Lixue greeted Shuji’s girlfriend.

Lixue left Shuji to talk to his girlfriend. She mixed green tea in a cup and returned to his side.

“When are we going back to Manila?” Shuji asked, avoiding Lixue’s lips.

“In the week we return to Manila, it’s not easy to learn martial arts and kung fu,” Lixue said to Shuji as she drank her tea.

“What are you talking about?” Erika replied to the two.

“Regarding our business, he asked how dad manages the resort and hotel,” Lixue answered, looking at Shuji strangely.

“Ah! When will you come back here?” Erika asked.

“We’ll be back this week. I’m sorry if your boyfriend was left here with me. Ninong Raiden ordered him to accompany me,” Lixue said.

Lixue then drank her tea and got up to go back to her room. Shuji’s gaze followed Lixue before turning to his girlfriend.

“Bye, darling. Leatrice has left me. She has something else to do,” Shuji said to his girlfriend.

“All right, darling,” Erika replied to her boyfriend, understanding why Shuji was left at the resort.

After Shuji finished eating and called the bodyguard, he just shook his head.

Shuji went upstairs and knocked on Lixue’s room. Suddenly, the door opened.

"Stay here or watch me every practice in the underground before I talk to my dad's business partner who will be here," Lixue said she stopped when Shuji appeared to her.

"One question, one answer please don't lie to me, why did you kiss me when you bandaged me?" Shuji asked as he stared into Lixue's eyes.

"I used my power to heal your wound quickly," Lixue replied to Shuji.

"You can use your powers on me without kissing me out of respect for my girlfriend, Lixue," Shuji said as he sighed.

Lixue couldn't answer and sometimes she thought that she too was making a mistake. Lixue thought that Shuji knew nothing about the prophecy.

"Will you come with me?" Lixue asked.

"Yes, don't repeat what you did to me, just tell me when you use the power," Shuji said to Lixue.

Shuji entered his room and held his heart as it beat faster.

"I don't want to cheat and I love my girlfriend," Shuji said to himself.

Shuji got a towel and went to the bathroom. As he undressed he removed the bandages and stopped what he saw.

"I had a wound last night, I remember that but the wound disappeared, it healed immediately and the line of my wound disappeared," Shuji answered to himself as he touched the skin that had a wound last night.

Shuji thought that because of Lixue's kiss his wound was healed. Shuji took a shower and put a bandage on the skin where there was a wound. Shuji went to Lixue underground and saw that her opponent was a man with a strange aura.

"What? More?" someone said jokingly.

"I missed you! How long will you be here?" Lixue asked.

"One year I have a mission to do." someone said.

Shuji saw that Lixue just nodded and she saw him.

"He is Raiden Liao's son, Shuji Liao," Lixue said seriously as she brought Shuji to her side.

"Ta shi ni de xuanze, chengwei ni suo xuanze de ren." someone said and started to Shuji.

(He is the choice, to be your chosen one.)

"Wo zhidao, ta hai bu zhidao ta you shijian zhao chu da'an," Lixue replied as she looked at Shuji with a frown.

(I know, and he doesn't know yet and he has time to find out,)

Lixue tapped the Shuji's shoulder which surprised him, Shuji looked at him and sighed suddenly.

Lixue showed some kung fu stunts she was doing.

A few hours later, the three of them came back upstairs and Lixue and Shuji went to the resort and stayed in a room where someone important was waiting for them.
