Xie Jie stared at the clear water and then touched the wetness on his face, he was not a fan of surprise in fact he never got a decent surprise in his life, especially from a woman. Every time his mother came looking for him, Xie Jie wished to drill himself further in the closet but she would always find him and then she would give him those nasty surprises that he hated. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
So, when Mo Qiang showered him with the rain that he had always dreamed of Xie Jie felt like his head had short-circuited. He simply looked at the woman smiling at him and did not move nor did he say anything, he simply stared at her as if he was transfixed in his place by a magical spell.
Seeing him stare at her as if he had been stunned by what she had done, Mo Qiang's smile widened and she asked with a smug look on her face, " What are you shocked by how cool I look?"
Startled awake by what Mo Qiang said, Xie Jie's eyes widened as he realised what he had been doing till now.
' Am I stupid? Was I staring at her like a pervert just now?' Xie Jie thought in his head as his entire face turned red. His face looked like a cooked shrimp as he raised his hand to cover his blushing face.
" No this is not what you think——" Xie Jie tried to explain after all he could never allow himself to fall for a woman who made his brother suffer so much and was yet to apologize for it. However, the more he tried to explain it the more he realized that none of it made any sense, in the end like a coward he turned around to run back home.
This … This was not a romantic comedy, so why was he acting like the male protagonist of it?!
Xie Jie had never thought of himself as a male protagonist of a romantic movie, in his head, he was the sole survivor of those dark, tragic movies where no one stood by his side. So, the thumping heartbeat, startled thoughts and the various emotions that flashed past in his heart within a second confused him so much that he almost tumbled on the ground.
" Woah, are you okay?" Mo Qiang caught his arm just in time as he was about to kiss the ground but as soon as she touched him Xie Jie felt a sudden memory flash in his head. Hiding in the closet, getting found and dragged out of the hidden spot even when he begged and screamed —— and before he knew he flicked Mo Qiang's hand off his arm and shouted, " Don't touch me!"
His scream caught the two of them off guard, Mo Qiang looked at him in surprise while Xie Jie suddenly got overwhelmed with guilt. She was clearly trying to help him, she even made him watch the rain that he wanted to see so much including the clear water pond..now he could simply come here to practice his lines as the sight was too beautiful.
But he couldn't bring himself to say that he was sorry, it was as if he couldn't find the right word and in the end, all that left his lips was, " You better watch where you are touching."
Xie Jie: Wahh, this is not what I wanted to say. Σ(ಥ_ಥ).
" Oh sure," Mo Qiang stared at him as if he was a complete freak something that he did not blame her for, his colleagues and classmates all looked at him like this because he always spoke crassly, he could have spoken gently and nicely but in the end, he just had to open his mouth and curse!
This had always been an old problem of his, he clearly meant to say sorry but ended up saying something totally different and hurt Mo Qiang, looks like he had collected enough material to discuss with his psychiatrist for today.
