We got married.

The next morning An Le sat the alarm at 6am. She's not the An Le from five years ago anymore. She won't lay in the bed until her mom comes to wake her up. Cuz she knows she won't be hearing that anymore. During these five years, she had trained herself to wake up at 6 everyday, and would go on a morning run.

Today she have to report to the station at 8. She got her bed, and change into her running outfit. The sun is slowly rising, with a slight warm breeze. She took a deep breath, and started her running. The place she lives in is in a small neighborhood , and there's not much people awake during this time yet. An Le looks around as in nothing much have change. As she ran for almost 15 minutes, she saw a man running in front of her.

"Don't tell me it's him," as she it inside of her.

She tries to slow down, as she doesn't want to see him. But he notice someone is behind him, and he turned around.

An Le slightly rolls her eyes, as if she knows it's him already. "Good morning," as she said to Song Zihan with a smile.

"Good morning? How come I feel like you said it unwillingly."

"Of course it's unwillingly," as she said it under her breath.

"Hmm?" as he looks at her. "nothing nothing," as An Le tries to brush it off.

"You wake up this early to run too?" as An Le asks him to change the topic. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? I don't even remember that you wake this early before. And seeing you run also, is making me wonder if you are really An Le." Song Zihan's words triggers An Le for a moment.

"Song Zihan, don't think that you are my boss that I wouldn't do anything to you." An Le stomps her foot on top of Zihan's, and angrily walks away.

'Angry huh?' He looks down at the foot that An Le stepped on, and wince. Her strength has become stronger compare when she was a kid.

An Le arrived at the station at exactly 8. As she was about to head in, a figure walks in before she did. "You're late." A voice said to her. An Le looks up and saw that it was Song Zihan.

"Which part did you see that I'm late?" as An Le said.

Song Zihan didn't say anything. He walks in the station, and waved his hand up with the watch on. An Le quickly looks down at her watch.

8:01.

An Le suppresses her anger, and quickly walks in the station. "Sis, didn't I tell you that don't be late?" as An Rong saw her walking in the forensic department. "Don't even get me started." An Le walked pass him, and went straight to the medical examiner's office. Inside there's two desk, and Song Zihan is already seated at his desk.

An Le closes the door behind her, and walked in. She have never felt an atmosphere this awkward before. She doesn't know what to do since she's only his assistant. "Your desk is over there," as he said it while reading the files on his desk. An Le gives him a face and walks over to the other empty desk, and sat down since he didn't even say anything else.

The room is so quiet, and only papers flipping back and forth. An Le couldn't stand this anymore, and got up from her seat. "Is there anything that I can do?" she asks him. He finally looks up from reading his file, and stares at her. "There is. Go to the storage room, and carries those boxes of files back here." An Le quickly saids okay because she is really really bored.

She walks out the room, and quickly found the storage room. She walked in, and opened the light. Her anger rises, and just want to run back to the room and yell at him.

Inside the storage room, there is endless boxes of files. She takes off her blazer, and rolls up her sleeve. Then she slowly carries two boxes at a time since the boxes are even bigger than her.

Watching An Le carrying the boxes back and forth, is making Zihan so happy. He just sits there pretending to read his file. An Le carries the last box, and stack it right up the piled in the room. She sat down at her chair to relax for not even a minute yet, and Song Zihan told her to organize all the files.

"You what?" as An Le couldn't believe what she just heard.

"You have a question?" as Song Zihan looks at her.

An Le holds in her anger and went to drag the boxes of files to her side, and starts organizing it. "And also, I want them organize by today." An Le looks down at the many boxes in front of her. "By today? How could I finish this all one day?" as she asks him.

"Well that's not my problem to deal with. I believe Dr. An that you can do this. Or else, it'll be very hard for you to escape this assistant role." Song Zihan saids it while looking at her. He knows that An Le doesn't want to be his assistant, and this is the only way for her to get to listen to him.

Twelve came, and An Le still have half a pile left. Her stomach starts to growl, and since this room is already quiet, she couldn't suppress the sound that is coming out from her stomach,

"Hungry?" Song Zihan asks her.

"No." But right after she said no, her stomach starts growling again. This time she has no face to look up again.

Song Zihan smiled. "Your mouth isn't very honest, but your stomach is."

"Go eat. I'll give you a thirty minute break."

An Le looked up at him, as she wasn't sure if that's the word that came out from his mouth.

"You don't want a break?" as he saw her not moving.

An Le finally realize that she's not dreaming. She quickly grabbed her bag and walks out the door before he changes his mind.

An Le walks out, and saw An Rong walking out the station too. "Hey!" as she walks up from behind him. An Rong's heart jumps. "Where do you want to eat?" as An Le asks him. An Rong looks at her smiling. One of those evil smiles. "Well, today you gotta eat alone. I have a lunch date with Li Qi." He didn't even let An Le say anything, and left.

"Fine. I don't need you and I could enjoy lunch all by myself." An Le walks over to a nearby noodle restaurant. She walks in, and saw how crowded it is. But she knows that any restaurant right now will be crowded anyway. As she waits for a spot, she saw two person walking by. The two people that she doesn't want to see in her life anymore. As she tries to block herself from the person behind her, a voice called out her name.

"An Le is that you?" as a man voice called out to her.

An Le turns around, and saw these two people holding hands. "Sis it's really you," as An Qi her step-sister calls out.

"When did you came back?" as she asks An Le.

An Le didn't answer her.

"Are you still mad that Kai Xuan left you? Me and Kai Xuan love each other, and we didn't meant to hurt you." Her voice and words just wants to make An Le vomits.

Seeing that An Le doesn't care, An Qi doesn't feel good in the inside. "Do you know that me and Kai Xuan got married last month? We wanted to tell you, but we couldn't get in touch with you."

An Le didn't say anything still.

"An Le, I'm so sorry but right now the person I love is An Qi." An Le turned around facing both of them. Her eye brows furrowed because they are talking nonsense. "Li Kai Xuan, you really think I still like you? I'm already over it since 5 years ago. And the reason I don't want to talk to you guys is because I don't want to waste any of my time with you guys."

After saying it, there was finally an empty spot and An Le walks in, and leaving those two standing there. An Qi anger rises inside of her as she sees An Le acting like nothing happened.

"One beef soup noodle please," as An Le ordered her food. She checks her watch again, and she has only 20 minutes left. Her noodles didn't take long to come, and once it came she went right into eating.

"An Le, why are you rushing? You know if you ask me, I'll help you find a job."

An Le looks up and saw those two came in also. She didn't bother to talk to them. An Le just focused on her food. 'Stupid An Rong, why did you have to go on a date today,' as she yells at her brother from inside.

The two people that shared the table have left, and as Kai Xuan and An Qi was about to seat, An Le pulls the two chairs away.

"An Le what are you doing?" as An Qi yelled.

Everyone in the small restaurant turned and look at them. "Sorry. It's reserved." An Le went back to slurping her noodles after saying it.

"Reserved? This restaurant you own it?" as An Qi questions her.

But An Le didn't respond. As the boss didn't know what to do, a man walks in.

"Sorry I'm late."

An Le recognize that voice. She looks up and saw Song Zihan walking in.

"Why are you here?" as An Le asks him. Song Zihan didn't answer her. She took the chair next to hers, and ordered a bowl of beef noodle too.

"Who is he? Your boyfriend?" as An Qi asks.

An Le's eyes stares at An Qi. "Is it any of your business?"

Shortly, the bowl of beef noodles came also. The two of them don't seem like they are gonna leave. Song Zihan looks at both of them who are standing. "Do you guys need any help? Because I don't like anyone watching me eat."

Kai Xuan heard his word, and face reddens. He tries pulling An Qi's arm, but she wouldn't budge. "Let's go," as he said it loudly. An Qi has no choice, but to follow him out.

After they left, An Le almost finish her food also.

"Aren't you gonna say anything?" as Song Zihan looks at her.

"Say what?" said An Le.

An Le checks the time again, and she finished her noodles right before the 30 minutes marking. "Well, I'm gonna get back to work. You enjoy." As An Le was about to leave, Song Zihan stopped her.

"What?" as An Le looks at him.

"I helped you back there. Aren't you suppose to say at least a thank you?"

An Le thought about it. "No, I don't think so. I didn't even ask you for help. And I really have to go because someone said I only have a 30 minute break. If I don't get back now that someone is gonna be so mad." An Le smiled, and then left the restaurant.

"well well you've already made me mad." Song Zihan said it once she left.
