Chapter 4: Sister, I'm in Love

1020 Words
Xia Xiaoxiao was not as easily deceived as her parents; she was sharp as a needle. Her sister claimed to have a boyfriend yet never brought him home, which led her to share her suspicions with their parents, resulting in today's arrangement. Today, after their parents forced her sister to return, her sister loitered suspiciously instead of immediately going upstairs, clearly indicating something was amiss. With a cheeky gleam in her eye and a sly smile, Xia Xiaoxiao teased Xia Qianqian, "Sis, don't tell me you don't have a boyfriend?" "Who... who said I don't have a boyfriend? I'll tell you, my boyfriend is incredibly handsome! You'll be smitten when you see him." Xia Qianqian quickly retorted upon seeing her sister's expression. Other people's sisters always backed them up, but hers always seemed to set traps for her. The idea for today's blind date most likely originated from her. "Sis, it doesn't matter if you have a boyfriend. The guy upstairs is super handsome and wealthy. You'll like him once you see him," Xia Xiaoxiao said, chuckling and winking. "Get lost, I have a boyfriend," Xia Qianqian grumbled. She knew her parents' temperament too well – if the match were right, they'd have her married off within six months. "Hmph! You have yet to see him in person. I bet you'd break up with your boyfriend as soon as you meet him." Xia Xiaoxiao stood confidently, chin lifted. She knew her sister too well. Given her personality, how could she possibly find a boyfriend so randomly? She must have tried to hire someone desperately, only to be stood up. "I don't have time for this..." Xia Qianqian had no patience for her silly sister's antics, dismissing her to avoid getting infuriated. "So handsome..." "Yeah, he's handsome. I like this type. It would be great if he were my boyfriend." "Is he a celebrity? Otherwise, how could he be so handsome?" "But I've never seen him on TV..." While Xia Qianqian and Xia Xiaoxiao were idly chatting by the community's entrance, a group of schoolgirls nearby started buzzing excitedly about a man in a black suit stepping out of a taxi, relentlessly snapping photos with their phones. As the man emerged, the girls began to scream, clamoring to take pictures with him. "So handsome..." Xia Xiaoxiao was so taken aback she dropped her cola can without noticing and stood with her eyes wide and cheeks flushed, her heart fluttering wildly. His face was as flawless as if he had leaped straight from a manga, his stature tall and striking, his eyes bewitching, and his skin as smooth as jade. Each smile and each gesture seemed to revolve around him, his noble aura making it impossible to look away. Just one glance was enough to blank your mind and accelerate your heart, making you forget yourself. This appearance, this aura, wasn't every girl's dream prince? "This..." Xia Qianqian was also stunned. Having been in the workforce for several years, she had seen her fair share, but this man was undoubtedly the most handsome she had ever encountered. She couldn't fathom how a man could be so beautiful to the point of making women jealous... "Ding ding ding..." Xia Qianqian's phone rang, pulling her from her reverie. "Hello..." She answered the phone. "Hello..." A voice filled with magnetism came from the other end. "Who is this?" Xia Qianqian asked curiously. "I'm your shared boyfriend." The voice replied. Shared boyfriend? Could it not be a scam? Was it real? "My name is Lin Yi; what's yours?" The male voice inquired. "Xia Qianqian..." "Is that you with the phone across from me?" "Yes..." Xia Qianqian shivered. Across from her? What did that mean? Was he in front of her? She instinctively looked ahead, only to see the heart-throb student surrounded by the schoolgirls, putting away his phone and waving in her direction. Could it be that this breathtakingly handsome man... was her shared boyfriend? "Ah… Sis, did you see that? He... he waved at me. Sis, I'm in love; this must be what being in love feels like. I must be in love..." As Xia Qianqian was shocked by the man walking towards her, Xia Xiaoxiao grabbed her arm, shaking it excitedly. Looking at her, you could see just how thrilled she was. Xia Qianqian glanced at her sister and opened her mouth a few times, finding herself at a loss for words. "Ah... I'm about to faint; he smiles and walks me. He must be coming to confess, sis; I'm going to die of happiness." Xia Xiaoxiao was excited, feeling like she was about to jump out of her skin from sheer happiness. "Sorry to keep you waiting." Lin Yi approached Xia Qianqian with a smile, speaking softly. "Not long, not long… just a moment." Xia Xiaoxiao let go of her sister's hand and ran towards Lin Yi, her face flushed with excitement, looking at the handsome boy before her. He must be here to confess to her; with such an attractive guy, she would agree without conditions. "This is for you…" Lin Yi handed a rose to Xia Qianqian; his gaze fixed on her. "Thank you, I like it. Like it so much…" Xia Xiaoxiao excitedly reached out to grasp the flower, but as her hand nearly touched it, the flower shifted slightly. Her hand missed it, and in that moment of surprise, Xia Xiaoxiao realized the flower was being offered to her sister instead… In an instant, Xia Xiaoxiao was bewildered, completely taken aback, staring dumbfounded at the scene before her. Wasn't he waving at me? He wasn't here to confess to me? Why... why did he give the flower to my sister? What's going on? "You're quite punctual?" As Xia Qianqian came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly reddened. Having accepted the flower, she smiled in response. She was, after all, an experienced individual, but seeing this shared boyfriend before her, she found her heart fluttering in a way it hadn't in a long time. She was so handsome that she couldn't understand why he chose this line of work.
