Chapter 31 - To Kill Him Or Not?!
Shu Xian and Shi Lian are left alone in the house. With Shi Lian being the sister of Pan An's best friend, Wang Lei, Pan An had no problems of leaving the house with Shu Xian and Shi Lian left behind.
Even though it is Shu Xian's third day staying in the house for today, Pan An found it easy that he could put his trust in her even though they just met unexpectedly when he saved her back in the park that day.
With that, since it was still early to go to class, Shu Xian and Shi Lian decided to hang out in the house for an hour before they go to the university.
Wang Lei had already left the house with Pan An. With Pan An already walking to the university, Wang Lei used the car and went to his company to do those usual, dreadful paperworks that he always hated.
Being the eldest male child of their household, he had to carry the responsibility. Luckily, though, being a CEO is one of his dreams.
Shu Xian and Shi Lian started to eat the egg fried rice that Shu Xian made. They both then conversed with each other, Shi Lian still probing her best friend about what happened last night after the call.
"Come on, tell me!"
She was practically poking Shu Xian's shoulder with the end of her spoon. With her pouting, too, as if she was a child asking for some money from her mother, Shi Lian made Shu Xian giggle.
"You're like a kid, Shi Lian," Shu Xian commented, taking a spoonful of her egg fried rice in her mouth and ate it. She chewed her food properly, swallowing then after before she talked again. "Nothing much happened last night."
Shi Lian knew her best friend too well. Remembering her reaction a while ago, she put down her bowl for a while and narrowed her eyes at her, crossing her arms in front of her chest as well.
"You know I won't stop until I get the answer from you, Shu Xian."
Shu Xian let out a small sigh, knowing that Shi Lian is indeed right. She won't stop unless she got the answer she's been looking for from her target.
"Come on, Shu Xian!"
Shi Lian probed again, Shu Xian feeling uncomfortable with suddenly remembering the event that happened last night.
"It's as if I'm not your best friend! Didn't my family and I help you back when you were in high school? Even from your edgy uncle which we couldn't further research on? Don't you trust me? Come on, come on!"
Shu Xian heard Shi Lian's voice like it was background noise. It sounded muffled as what happened last night between her and Pan An replayed in her mind like recalling a part from the movie.
Her heart started racing when she remembered how Pan An crashed his lips on hers. She remembered how Pan An pulled her towards him with no intention of letting go.
She felt her body warming up again when she slowly reached out to her neck, making Shi Lian cock her head to the side in wonder, curious as to why Shu Xian is doing such gesture with a soft flush of pink on her cheeks.
Shu Xian seemed to be in a daze. When her fingers grazed on the part where Pan An licked her and gave kisses, it was as if the feeling was still there, sending shivers down Shu Xian's spine as she bit her bottom lip.
How is it possible that the sensation still lingered on her skin as if it happened a moment ago when it happened last night?
Rather...
How is it possible that she felt good even though both of them are just acquaintances helping each other out?
Heck, Shu Xian even found it amazing that she kept a strong facade in front of the professor despite the shock she bore since last night!
Shu Xian then remembered what Pan An was about to do. Her body froze as if she was reliving the experience again, the sensation of Pan An's fingers going inside her shirt tingly like she was with him again even without him there.
But then, Shu Xian started to feel discomfort in her heart, a slight pang of pain felt in her chest when she remembered how Pan An called for another name despite him being with her in the room that he gave her.
"Ruo Xi" was her name—the ex-fiancée of Pan An.
He thought of Shu Xian as her and this slightly made her heart ache!
"Nnnghh!"
Surprising Shi Lian, Shu Xian disheveled her hair as if she was in the brink of insanity! Making Shi Lian furrow her brows, she worriedly put a hand on Shu Xian's shoulder, concern evident in the reflection of her eyes.
"Hey, what's up?" Shi Lian asked, Shu Xian profusely shaking her head as if wanting to snap out of her thoughts in sheer desperation.
"I want to get it out of my head! I want it out now!"
Shi Lian further creased her brows together, finding Shu Xian surprisingly not in her usual self. Because of this, Shi Lian actually started to worry more about her, now sincere in her words, rather than being her naughty self.
"Hey, tell me," Shi Lian gently urged, her hands still on Shu Xian's shoulder. "You know you can trust me. I won't ever tell a soul—you know that."
With Shi Lian being the only friend that she has, Shu Xian slowly looked at her as if she was her savior. She then looked down, some tears pooling in her eyes as she mumbled to tell her best friend, enough for her and her dog, Wan Wan, to hear.
"Pan An kissed me and almost touched my body—mistaking me as Miss Ruo Xi..."
"He... WHAT?!"
Shi Lian immediately stood up from her chair, the sound of it being pushed back surprising Shu Xian as she looked up at her best friend, holding both of her hands.
"Shi Lian—"
"Tell me!"
Shi Lian interrupted Shu Xian with a disgusted, angry expression on her face, her eyes shouting "MURDER" with the information of Pan An touching her best friend as he thought of someone else.
"Shall I tell my brother and some men to kill him or not?! Rather... shall I kill him instead?!"
