Chp 3

The next day.....

"Hi, Nuan Nuan", greets Yi Xuan. His voice sounded soft, along with his calm steps and a smile that preceded him.

"Nuan Nuan?", thought her. It was such a new thing when she heard someone call her with that.

Still, she greeted him back with a, "Oh, hi too", with her head then fell slowly on the table, looked exactly like someone who was burdened by the night that had not subsided.

"It's only been a day and yet, you started to look exactly like a panda", Yi Xuan chuckled under his breath. He said it low, but loud enough to show his amusement.

"Was he the kind of an easygoing person?", was what she thought before she spoke in a clear voice, "You seem like the kinda carefree person?"

"Pardon me? Ah- It isn't actually my nature", he replied

".... Well, it doesn't matter for me", she spoke again

"By the way, your eye bag seems to have darkened a bit?"

"Oh that? I was enjoying manhwa last night", replied her with a soft, long yawn

"Woah! What kind of Manhwa did you enjoy?", Yi Xuan asked again enthusiastically; yet calmly

"Actually, it was kind of sad. I can't tell you exactly what it was though"

"Ah- it's alright. In fact, I also enjoyed reading by myself", he spoke before he handed a small gift box to her. "This is yours, right? It seems to have been dropped when you were in a hurry yesterday"

As soon as Yi Xuan handed the box to her, she started to cover in cold sweats."No way? It isn't exactly what i think right? I lost my handkerchief yesterday after all", she thought before her quick hands grabbed the handkerchief, causing Yi Xuan to stop for a while, as he did not have time to react at all. Unfortunately, as she opened the box, her hunch was right. A small piece of clothes, preserving the stories time left behind. Such a thing, Nuan Qing wouldn't want anyone to know.

Right as she was about to say, " you...", Ru Heng suddenly appeared at the front door, calling for her. Apparently, their conversation got held off.

It was exactly the same as the first time encounter with her. Yi Xuan silently watched from afar, wondering what might their seemingly nice conversation was about. An abrupt flood of questions overwhelmed him. Who the man was, what their relationship was and kinds of it. And yet, he can't bring himself to ask more cause it will be weirder for an outsider like him to suddenly be busy with her life.

A little more time passed before he finally opened his mouth. "Would you mind if I asked for something?"

"Something?", Nuan Qing drowned in dumbfounded silence.

"I want to be friends with you. Is that possible?", he inquired nervously and was a bit worried.

"Be friends with me?", her thought came before her words," It might be possible"

A friend request from him was really surprising, because it was not something she had ever thought of. Even so, it brought her deep joy.

Seconds passed and finally evening approached. The class lesson was over, followed by the heavy breathing that eventually let out. The handkerchief incident however was still roaming around her heads, refusing to be forgotten.

An ordinary small white clothes with something deep hidden. She opened it so wide that something clearly displayed, easily seen.
