Xue Qiqi

Front counter of the hospital...

" here the bill, sir. Please sign down here..." said the nurse bashfully. This handsome military man was so valiant in her eyes. She saw far more than once all the military personnel in the past, but this man was out the league. He looks like an immortal that gracing the mundane world. His healthy wheat skin almost make her drool over this fine specimen! Gosh! His abs under the shirt should be more enchanting, right?

Xue Lang shivered as if a snake preying on him. He looked up and saw the young nurse look at him as if meat in chopping board! Scary!! He cleared his throat to gain the nurse attention back to her job.

" here, it's done. Thank you, miss." Xue Lang quickly escapes from the counter and ran towards his sister. Looking at that teasing smile, Xue Lang shuddered.

" Sis, stop smiling like a creep! We should go now." Xue Lang grabs her hand and went to the elevator. Xue Ming's face blackened at his remarks. Creep!? Is he picking fights with me now?

Xue Ming smack Xue Lang's head in a quick slap, " Darn you!" She cursed. Xue Lang grimacing at the pain on his back head. So violent! Is she still a lady?

Ding~

The twin looked at another open door elevator beside them and saw two people in the neat suit went out. One of them wearing a dark grey three pieces of clothes, another one wearing full black two pieces outfit. Both men were so handsome that the passerby nurses squeal in delight.

" Oh my God! Is that CEO Lin? He's more handsome than in magazines and television." Said one of the groups of nurses.

" True! Gosh, the person beside him also handsomes to boot! If I'm not wrong, that person should be one of his closed friend, CEO Wei Young."

" Last night, his company, Lin's Consortium already signed up cooperation with an international company of Germany. I heard this cooperation successfully pulled another two big company from oversea. How much that cooperation cost? Must be millions, no billions!"

Hearing this much of kinds, Xue Ming felt amused. Gossip is not uncommon here, though. Feeling someone staring, Xue Ming consciously look at the same path those two men went earlier. Then, she saw the grey outfit man staring at her openly without blinking.

Do I know him? Xue Ming felt weird, as she stared back at him without shying away.

When that curious pair of ash grey eyes fall into his sight, a warm feeling ran through his body and heart. It's her! Lin Jiayi felt his bleak world suddenly shine brightly with lights, fuzziness attack his consciousness as he thought about her poem last night. Looking at that slightly pale expression of her, Lin Jiayi frowned in displeasure. Why she get discharged early? She still sick!

" Jiayi? What's up, man? You know her?" Wei Young pat his friend's shoulder and saw Lin Jiayi staring at the lady without blinking or shame. Ohoo~ this iceberg man fallen in love? That's great!

" Hey, sis! Come on! What are you dozing off for?" Xue Lang steps inside the lift and saw his twin sister standing still outside. He pressed the button hold, and grab her sister hand to pull her inside.

Before Lin Jiayi reacted, the man beside her went inside the elevator and pull her hand in. His step flattered as the elevator door closed, separating him and her.

Darn it! He went to press the elevator button but failed as the elevator already went down.

" Hey, calm down, man! What are you flustered about? Try asking the counter nurses for her name. Based on her paled face like that, she should be discharged today." Wei Young laughed so hard in tears. Woah~ he already fell deep!

" shut up!" Annoyed for getting teased, Lin Jiayi went to the counter to ask. Remember as he so stupid for not asking her name yesterday night, Lin Jiayi felt worse.

" Excuse me, what is the name of the patient in 201 room?" Lin Jiayi asked straightforwardly. The nurse felt annoyed as her work getting disturbed, but when she saw who's the person asking, she went dumb. So handsome! God, what kind of good luck she get for today to encounter another handsome man?!

Lin Jiayi's complexion turned unsightly as the nurse gawked at him openly without shame. Before he opens his mouth to ask for the second time, Wei Young come to save the awkward situation.

" Hello, beautiful. Can I know what's the patient name at 201 room?" Wei Young pulled the nurse pointed chin towards him with his slender fore finger.

" Uhmm, what relationship you had with the patient?" She asked unconsciously as the nurse see another handsome specimen in front of her.

" A new friend? We saw her last night but didn't manage to ask her name. So, can you help me for this time?" Wei Young lean forward, and his breath tickling at her face. Blushing hard, the young nurse nodded.

" ...201...201...ah, here. Her name is Xue Ming, 20 years old, single." Wei Young chuckled. He asked only her name, but the nurse sold out Xue Ming's two more information. Wei Young looked at his buddy with a rising brow. I'm good, right?

Looking at the face that asking for praises, Lin Jiayi sighed. Spoiled brat!

" fine, the dinner tonight on me. Ask Mo Yu and Jiang Ling to join you." Pleased with the information he got, Lin Jiayi generously offered to pay for the meal. Wei Young laughed in glee.

" Well said!! Come, get your illness to be treated here. Then, we will go straight to the restaurant!"

" Sister, what's wrong with you? You know him?" Xue Lang asked strangely. He saw the other party staring at Xue Ming as if looking at his long-lost wife. If not for him to drag his twin sister away quickly, that person would already storm inside the elevator! He should take note at this big fly and another flies that soon starting to flock around his twin sister. Humph!

" Well...not really. Just felt that man a bit familiar...?" at the same time the jeep comes to halt at traffic lights and a big screen for ads flashing news of the successful young CEO signing up long-term cooperation with a foreign country. Xue Ming's ash-grey eyes staring at the screen and a surprise emotion can be seen inside her stormy eyes. It's him!

"...Lin Jiayi..." Xue Ming spells the name slowly. Her heart skips a beat. A strange emotion started building up in her heart.

" Sis, are you alright? What's up?" Xue Lang saw the news, but sadly it's already at nearing the end. He didn't get a proper look, so he let it be.

" Uh...nothing." Xue Ming gives off a soft smile, and the topic ended.

The silence gives Xue Ming a time to think properly as she thought about Xue Qiqi well-being, finally, she decides to ask about her suspicious towards this matter, " by the way, who's asked you to sent Xiao Qi into the asylum? Based on your boorish character, you shouldn't be the one who initiated first. Unless..." Xue Ming trailed off her words. Xue Lang nod.

" Yes, as you suspected. It's 'her', but at that time, I was on a mission trip. By the time I come back, they already sent her there without my consent! If not thinking about grandmother health issues, I would broke apart the whole mansion. When I tried to get her out from there a year ago, grandmother greatly opposed it. At first, I thought grandmother treating Xiao Qi unjustly, but in secret, grandmother told me some information she gets from her investigation. Xiao Qi never committed suicide, but being initiated by other. For the time being, grandmother let Xiao Qi be sent there to get treatment. But, actually Xiao Qi never been in country. Grandmother sent her to US to further her study."

Xue Ming's expression darkened. So, she gets played right after she woke up? Those fools...

" Hey, sis. Don't get mad. You knew that Xue Yang is a full pledged doctor in the hospital, so we can't risk for him to get a wind about this secret. You should acted as if everything as what they hope for. Today, Xiao-Qi come back from abroad for her semester break. We can pick her up at airport. We will spend our time at grandfather's hometown. Grandmother already sent me the key last week." Xue Lang pull open the dashboard and pull out two different keys. He tossed it over to her. There's a key chain hanging on.

"...Fairy Villa...?" Xue Ming's lips twitched slightly. Why the hell this villa's name so weird and pompous? Xue Lang laughed at the sight of his twin sister grimacing.
