"I still love you, Xiao Lei! I'll always keep loving you."

Her heart kept beating fast, Thump! Thump! Thump! Her hand trembling, but the smile and warm feeling in her heart didn't disappear.

Xiao Lei was still quietly eating his breakfast, without looking at her even once nor speaking a word to her but Yang Nuo was just happy to express her feeling to him.

After having breakfast, Xiao Lei stood up and took the plate to the kitchen, to wash it.

When he was about to wash it, Xiao Lei stopped him "Let me do it. Please!"

Xiao Lei paused for a second and said "No! That's fine." He filled up the sink with soapy water and asked "Have you done eating your breakfast?"

Yang Nuo blushed, shook her head "N-No! It's going to be done."

He soaks the plate in soapy water. "Go, have it then!" His voice was calm.

"But... I'll give you hand... I mean... Let me do it. It's kind of awkward to let you work when I am right here. You don't have to do it when I'm around. I'll do it "

There was a hint of irritation in his face, his voice was serene "Yang Nuo!"

"Y-Yeah!!" Her heart skipped a beat

Xiao Lei gazed fall on her "You should keep this in your mind, we are not family, nor do we have any kind of relationship. You are just the person who once used to be my friend. That's all. So, stop pretending like we have any kind of special relationship. I hope you got it and you'll stop pretending like that."

"P-Pretending?" Yang Nuo frown but slightly smile, yet it didn't remain for even a second "W-What are you even saying, Xiao Lei? Why would I pretend? Isn't it obvious, I want to have a special relationship with you? I want to be by your side forever! I—"

"Yang Nuo! Then you should know very well, that there will never be any kind of special relationship between us!" Lei's voice was calm but there was a hint of cold in his voice.

Yang Nuo clenched her fist trying to calm down, her voice was low and deep "Why can't we, then?"

Xiao Lei scrub the plate with the brush and replied while cleaning it with water "Why are you even asking when you already know about it?"

Yang Nuo lips slightly twisted with a frown. She felt hard in breathing. He just said something, she didn't want to hear ever "So... It's because of her then?"

Xiao Lei unplugs Sink to Let Out the Dish Water and dry the plate with a small piece of cloth and then place it in the cupboard.

He walked to the couch and put on his black long sleeve blazer, a little short to the blazer which he had covered Yang Nuo last night.

He put the keys on the table "If you're feeling okay, you can go back." He opened the door and said before going out "There is the cloth on the couch, I've brought just now. You can wear that. You'll catch cloth if you keep wearing that open dress."

He closed the door and walked away.

Yang Nuo, who was quietly standing in the kitchen, falls on her knee. She clenched her fist "Why is it always her? Why not me?"

She bites her lower trembling lips, heavy breath, controlling her teary eye. "Ahhh..." She took a deep breath and let it out, trying to relax "Calm down! You're so pathetic Yang Nuo. Always crying, i***t! You knew all along, so why are you crying like you didn't expect this all along. i***t! fool! stupid!"

She stood up and walked to the couch with a good face, saw a plastic bag. She looked into it "Is this it?" She saw pair of blue and pink cloth, took them out and wore them.

She walked in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Tears in her eyes, a smile on her face, warmth in her heart, she laughed.

She was crying and laughing at the same time looking at the mirror "Xiao Lei! This... This cloth size is too big. The clothes were way too oversized for her body.

Too Oversized lavender sweater and warm fleece joggers. It had almost disappeared in those clothes.

She was having a mixed-up feeling, sad, happy and funny at the same time because of Xiao Lei.

Sad, cause of his word, happy, cause of his care, funny, cause of his oversized sense in women clothing.

As long as she kept staring at the mirror, that long she felt funny.

"Pufffff... Hahahahahaha..."

She started to feel pain in her stomach due to over laughing "Awww... My stomach..." She let out a long breath and walked to the kitchen. The food was cold "Oh my goodness, It's cold. I shall heat it."

She lit the gas stove and put the Stewpot to heat it then mixed the curry and rice. After heating it, she served it on the plat and started to eat it with a chopstick.

After having it, she was full. She washed the dishes and dry them. After that, she put in the right place "What do I do now? T.V? Yeah... Let's watch it."

She turns on the T.V just to learn that it doesn't work "What's wrong with this? Aww... Forget it! I shall see something on my Phone then but I don't know, where is it? Where did I put it?"

She went to the bedroom and saw her Phone beside the bed "There it is."

She turns on her phone and net.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

She got more than a hundred messages from each person "W-What the hell!!!"

The messages were from her parents, Chen Liyo, other actors, actresses (Friends) and mostly from Wang Qin.

"W-Wang Qun?" She felt a chill over her body "S-She will kill me!!"

She gave a helpless sigh "What do I do now?"

She opened her Weibo, there were many posts regarding her.

°°Breaking news! Yang Nuo said that she has a crush! # QueenYangNuo °°

No wonder, she never has been in a relationship with anyone.

I feel so bad for Chen Liyo. I saw love in his eyes for her. So sad.

I wonder who is her crush!? He most is very handsome then, cause he is the person on whom, our queen has a crush on after all.

Awwwwwwww....... I so want to see her crush.

Yang Nuo grin "Of course! He is very handsome, not just handsome, but good looking, charming, attractive and... and..." She blushed "He is the coolest person."

Then she saw another post about her

I was scared that we might have done something to her. I and my friends were there to see her. Wow! I was freaked out. I Hope, her mom is gonna be alright!

Yang Nuo smiled slightly "So... This was, what really happened? No wonder, there are no negative comments." She gave a long sigh as her smile disappear "So, Mom is involved too. I'm gonna have to face a great disaster now. It won't take a long time since they will find my location. What's more, I've opened my phone, so I guess, they've already found my location. What a pain!"

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Yang Nuo was startled "Woah! That scared me."

Yang Nuo took a deep breath "He—"

"Where the hell are you?" An angry but apprehensive voice reached her ear.

"Wang Qin! I apologised. Please, forgive me. I promise, not to do this again. I mean it. Trust me."

Wang Qin gave a helpless sign "I'm coming to fetch you up. Give me a proper explanation then, Got it? Everything was alright, cause of your mom, about giving news to a news reporter that she was sick due to which, you just got anxious and ran off. If it weren't for your mo—"

"Wang Qin!" There was a hint of irritation in her voice but it disappeared with a soft voice "I'll give a proper explanation after I meet you okay? But can I stay here for more days? I'll call you to fetch me up. I mean it. So..."

"Sure!"

"What?" Yang Nuo was joyous "You mean it, right? Wow, I appreciate it very much. I hope, you'll handle everything out there."

"Sure! Sure! But, I'm going to send someone to watch you over for your protection. You can't decline that. About your mom, I'll watch over her."

Yang Nuo smiled slightly "You're strict as ever. Sure, Then."

~At midnight ~

Yang Nuo looked at the time, "It's already past 12. Why hasn't Xiao Lei come back yet? I'm worried about him."

She was anxiously waiting on the couch staring at the door "Should I go and look after him? What shall I do?"

Just then the door unlocked from outside. It was Xiao Lei.

Seeing Xiao Lei okay, she was relieved. She got up from the couch "Xi—"

"You haven't gone back?"
