Episode 5

I nod my head and start eating. After eating he tells a maid to clean up while he went upstairs to get ready. I walked around and noticed a room where the door had a small opening.

I open the door and close it, I looked around the room, it was neat and organized. But the room had three boxes stacked up in the left corner. I slowly walked to the box and open it...the box had...year books in it. The title read, ‘Ni Lan High school 2002-2003’.

“He went to..the same high school as..me?”

I open the yearbook and skip to my classroom..it had me, Li Xia and- Zi Xin.

I slowly check each page for Zhi Xiang’s photo or classroom but..he wasn’t there or anywhere!

“What are you doing?”

I jump and turn around. It was Zhi Xiang, his lower body was covered with a towel and another was around his neck as he laid against the door. His muscular chest was in the open and his hair had water dripping down.

I hold the yearbook behind me and drop it back into the box.

“N..nothing. D..did you just get out the shower?” I utter

He raises an eyebrow and walk towards me as I walk backwards.

Finally I reach a wall, a dead end, he puts both his arms up blocking me from escaping.

He grins and chuckle, “what? Did you want to join me in the shower?”

I blush and begin to stutter, “I..No!”

I push him away and close my eyes. Nothing happens, when I open my eyes he was laughing...smiling.

He puts his hands on the back of his head and walks to the door.

“You think too much of yourself. Like I said earlier, I’m not interested in you and don’t come into this room anymore.”

The last few words he said erased his smile from his face.

“Such a handsome man, has such secrets. Huh?”

I turn around, close the box behind me and leave the room. I went on my way downstairs to wait for him to get dressed. A few minutes later he comes down and struggles with his tie.

I start to giggle as I watch him struggle. He glares at me and loosens his tie.

“What’s so funny?”

I cough to stop me from laughing and respond.

“It’s just...you’re a businessman and you don't know how to tie a tie?”

He puts his hands in his pockets and puff up his chest.

“Well, if you’re such a pro…why don’t you do it?”

I roll my eyes and help him tie his tie. When finished I unlock my phone and go to the camera to show him the tie.

“See? I'm a real master.”

He checks his tie and smiles.

“I guess you are.”

I blush and there was a moment of silence..until I broke it by walking to the door.

“Are you ready to leave now?” I ask him.
