32 Toxic Master and Sharp Tongued Student.

This was the third time that Chan Juan was readying a clay on the wheel, it all broke due to her precariousness. Shao Jinhai who was getting pissed to the point of lethality could not hold it in anymore.

He walked with long strides towards her, and held her hand.

"It's enough now, you don't have to do it again, you can go now. It is evening already." He was so cold, Chan Juan could feel it.

Still yet, she ignored him,

"Isn't this so much fun, aye?!" Chan Juan asked, smiling at what she was doing. Shao Jinhai was fuming through his ears now, she openly ignored him and she felt no remorse the slightest. He is really being cool these days, how could she?

Shao Jinhai thoughts wandered wildly through his mind and he decided to calm himself first, before speaking further.

Shao Jinhai inhaled deeply before talking,

"I am saying, you should forget about the vase, I would not bother you with it." Chan Juan turned around and arched a brow,

"Why are you being so frigid all of a sudden? Besides am I not doing well with it?" Chan Juan asked with in a very serious tone.

Shao Jinhai's expression darkened, he had this look on as if to say, you're not making it any better here.

He's clearly trying to give it up and here she was refusing the juicy offer, Shao Jinhai creased his forehead as he thought.

Chan Juan waved her hand,

"Aish! Don't give me that look..." She settled her butt on the chair and continued.

"Our relationship is not in any way good, so you acting nice to your student might not be a bad idea."

"What are you indicating?" Shao Jinhai asked as he scrutinized Chan Juan,

"Good question. Since you have given up on the vase, I want to officially learn pottery, let me be your student."

"What?"

Shao Jinhai ogled Chan Juan, like she had lost a nut in her head. Few day back, she was acting like a delicate flower and now, such guts.

Shao Jinhai narrowed his eyes suspiciously before speaking,

"I'm sorry, but I am too busy."

Chan Juan rolled her eyes,

"I said it, you are not friendly. Try and be different for once, been cheerful will not kill you. With your presence, I could feel a thick awareness of toxicity in the air, oh my goodness."

Chan Juan used her hand to repeatedly buff over her face, Shao Jinhai clenched his fist,

"Watch your tongue young lady." he gritted, while almost grinding his teeth to powder.

Chan Juan smirked, she would avenge him for insulting her family ones, and looking down on her. This was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Ah! Don't get mad, I am just saying," Chan Juan bantered,

"Well, in essence, smiling and chatting would not annihilate you. Come on, astonish me please." Chan Juan enunciated.

Shao Jinhai furrowed his brows, he never realized she was so sharp-tongued, but for some reason, he was amused by her guts.

"So, will you teach me pottery? And please be nice, I would not like a toxic Master."

Shao Jinhai frowned and looked away,

"Fine then." Shao Jinhai retorted aloofly. Chan Juan grinned and got down from the stool and bowed.

"Thank you Master for accepting me, your student will work hard not to piss Master off in future."

This time, she was definitely acting weird, Shao Jinhai moved away and sat on the chair.

Actually, Chan Juan wasn't fond of cold people, it makes her sick. She had truly taken interest in pottery and found it to be so much fun, and for no reason, she fairly enjoyed his company.

Weird, how will I like being around him such icey figure. He barely speaks, if he does, you could actually count the number of words he had spoken. Are you not forgetting something Chan Juan?

Chan Juan relinquished the thoughts, and could only steal glances at Shao Jinhai who was few feets far from her.

Meanwhile Lan Shang has been watching the whole thing through the wide window of the Studio from where she stood. her face expressed nothing but worries.

She worried for her son, the unknown fates that awaits him, have they really made the right choice?

Lan Shang thoughts spiralled and she thought back to the Old Sage's words.

' "Lin Hua's fate... It is repeating itself again. You mustn't do anything to alter it or else, Shao Jinhai might die..." '

Her thoughts echoed in her head and slowly it faded away.

"Is she perhaps the fate that breeds bad luck?" Lan Shang muttered and gaze intensely into the azure sky.

The following day, the autumn sun shone bright like a golden coin in the limitless blue sky, but it was not harsh even when the time was approaching mid afternoon already.

At the busy International Airport, a young man came could be seen heading towards the airport exit with two men escorting him.

He was became the centre of stares when he removed his dark sunglasses, and audible gasps could be heard from the crowd.
