Boyfriend

Days passed, and today is their second week of the month staying at the Fairy Villa. Maybe there are fairies in the forest, as Xue Ming keep have a feeling that something or someone observing her in secret. She's sure that the Song's couple or Xue Lang or Xue Qiqi was out of questions. Because of these days, her perception getting keener and sharp after nights of tempering. So, their presence is different from those hiding in the dark. Moreover, there's no malicious intent from the observer, only some funny curiosity that wins over them. Sometimes, she heard giggles or cute banters.

When she asked about it after getting caught for going out two nights ago, the couple only laughed it off. They reply just like this, " Who knows...everything is possible, my dear."

While she mulled over this thing in the morning time, she heard familiar footsteps from behind before a rough voice enters her hearing range, " Hey, sis. What are you dozing off for? Bored? Wanna go out?"

" What for?"

" Shopping! Xiao Qi wants to buy clothes, you follow?" Xue Lang asked as he shakes the car keys in his hand. After pondering on the offer, she nodded.

" Fine, let me get ready then," Xue Ming leap up from the soft couch and ran upstairs to get ready. He laughed at the retreating back before leisurely take the garage remote control and went out.

He mused about a saying, "... Women and shopping hard to be separated..." Even his dull twin sister can't resist the temptation of shopping.

" I'm done!" Before Xue Lang hand reached the car door to open it, a soft voice startled him to turn around to find his twin sister standing at the garage door. A light touch makes up, wearing a simple flowery off-shoulder one-piece dress, together with three inches women's woven Raffia wedge sandals, soft leather long strap small handbag, and simple ornaments like women watch, small bead silver necklace, and pearl earrings. She does a braid style on her long silky black hair at her left side chest, together with a hairband.

Looking at that funny expression of Xue Lang, she laughed. " Are you going to gape at me whole days, brother?"

Xue Lang snapped back and scratch his head in embarrassment. " You can't blame me for being amazed at you. Sister, since when you change your taste in the dressing? You never liked this kind of dress from childhood."

" Oh, come on! Times change, human also same. How long you want me to keep my old bizarre style? At this age, I should learn how to get dressed prettily in presenting my best self." Xue Ming shrugged. He laughed and steps forward. Doing gentleman bow, he funnily takes her hand and lightly kiss at the knuckle.

" You're so beautiful, Milady. I'll be worried over bees and flies that try to get near you and Xiao Qi." Xue Lang sighed heavily over his fate. The grown-up daughters can't be kept forever, no?

A loud gasp was heard from behind. Without looking, Xue Ming knows who. Xue Qiqi's squealed and ran over to them.

" Wow, Ming Jie! You're so beautiful! Like a fairy maiden from fairyland! Oh-oh-oh! There will be more competition over Ming Jie after this! Now, I'm jealous. I should learn martial arts to swat away all stinky flies and bees from Ming Jie! Lang Ge, we as bodyguards have a heavy duty to protect her!"

" I know! I've prepared guns and bombs in the car boot to war!" Xue Lang jokingly agreed and do fist pump like little kids.

" Well, I know how beautiful I am. But, please. All flies can only be flies if they can't conquer my heart, no?" Xue Ming narcissistic praise herself while winking at them. They laughed together before getting inside the Land Rover.

Xue Qiqi taste in clothes is more like teenagers. Messy high buns, large pink shirt, ripped jeans, high ankle shoes, and light make up.

" By the way, Ming Jie. Do you remember your ex-boyfriend, Xia Naihe?" Xue Qiqi's sudden question like a bomb for Xue Lang. He quickly looked at side mirror and saw Xue Ming's blank expression.

" Huh? Boyfriend?" Xue Ming minds search over the meaning of the word and found it. A lover? She does have one?

" Which Xia Naihe?" She asked back. Xue Qiqi and Xue Lang dumbfounded. She doesn't remember?

" Sis, what do you mean by 'Which Xia Naihe'? You don't remember?" Xue Lang looked at her, disbelief written over his handsome face. Xue Qiqi saw her expression was not like feigning or lie, then...she forgot about him?

" Ah? Should I remember this Xia Naihe guy?" Xue Ming stunned. She racking up her brain to find this Xia Naihe and found a blank memory deep inside. Did she just delete this person existence? Why?

" No, Ming Jie. You should forget about that disloyal scum! He married to Xue Ning last year. What a b*stard! He promised to wait for you, but he can't keep his d*ck to himself and sleep with that Xue Ning. Hah! Karma is b*tch when they lost their unborn child a year later. Serve them right!" Xue Qiqi snarled hatefully when she remembers the smugness on that b*tch Xue Ning's face. Not only that, Xia Naihe dare to say sorry at Xue Ming's bedside and broke their 4 years relationship over broken shoes! Hah! Dogs truly match with each other!

" Ah, really? Hmm, that's good either. I don't care about that. I'm still young!" Xue Ming shrugged it off. What point to fight over a b*stard?

" Then, that's good. You can find a good, rich husband to rub over their face! I want to see how ugly that Xue Ning's face can be!" Xue Qiqi scoffed.

Xue Ming laughed heartily over these two brothers and sister anger. She can't blame them though. But, to wipe off the memories about him...isn't a bit too much? What exactly happened before the accident two years ago? She doesn't believe it's only because of her fight with Xue Qiqi. Something is not right. There's more to this than meets the eye.
