"Oh, sorry," An Xin said. She immediately distanced herself perfectly, scratching the back of her neck that didn't itch. An Xin felt awkward, even under no circumstances did she expect it would be this uncomfortable now, never imagined that An Xin would think that she would meet a mature male figure like Li Xuan.
"No, no… no problem, let's have a look at the photos. I'm sure all the results pose the same. You really are very stiff, An Xin. You're the one who asked for a fake girlfriend, but you can't do it yourself. You really are very stiff, An Xin,"
"Yes, it can't be helped. I've never dated anyone, and the instant I have to do all this with you, I'm really very embarrassed and awkward Li brother," An Xin said honestly.
Li Xuan seemed to smile, and then he gripped An Xin's hand tightly. "Didn't I tell you, if you feel awkward considering me as your fake boyfriend, then you can think of me as Xiao Long? How are you and Xiao Long?" asked Li Xuan, who seemed to be curious.
"It's still different, even though my brother-in-law looks curt and arrogant, he is sister Qiao Xin's husband," An Xin said, looking for the truth. For then, Li Xuan shook his head, then pulled An Xin out. Too long in the photo box is certainly not a very good thing at all.
They both saw the photo and confirmed that all their poses were the same. Li Xuan looked at the picture with a smile. For some reason, he was so happy with the result, and he even took a sheet to keep secrets for himself.
"Isn't this very ugly?" An Xin protested, Li Xuan shook his head.
"Good enough to put in a purse, as proof that we are lovers, don't you like that?" Li Xuan asked. An Xin seemed silent until her friends came over and saw the photo.
"Why not just do it?" said Zue Er.
An Xin looked over and seemed confused by what Zue Er said.
"It means?"
"Haven't you two looked at each other? You are a couple, right? Why don't you kiss? That much more fun?" explained Zue Er.
An Xin's face immediately turned red when she heard Zue Er's words, and she lowered her head even more deeply.
"Why do we have to show it to you?" Li Xuan asked. He immediately grabbed An Xin's hand again and walked out. "We have our own privacy, and we don't usually share it," Li Xuan continued.
Zue Er looked annoyed at Li Xuan's words, so she had a pretty diamond idea.
"Just hold on, I still can't accept that Li Xuan's brother is An Xin's lover, I have to prove it with my own eyes," Zue Er said to herself.
After playing for a long time, they finally decided to buy food and eat at the inn belonging to the Zue Er family even into the afternoon. Once again, they gasped, how could not even all the costly and luxurious food menus be bought by Li Xuan, as if Li Xuan was not suitable at all if he was a student who usually tended to be more economical.
"Brother Li, are you really a student?" asked Zue Er's lover, who was currently helping Li Xuan put some of the food that was on the table, and they were already busy carrying plates, and even some other drinks. "Usually a student will definitely choose the appropriate menu, likes to save money. But from what I saw earlier, brother Li really has a lot of money. Own credit cards even the richest people in the country have. Or could it be that Big Brother Li is the son of a rich family that's why Brother Li does so many things with brother Li's parents' money?"
"I'm not used to being spoiled by my parents, coincidentally apart from studying I also work at a friend's company, get a lot of work and make a lot of money, that's why I can do all this," Li Xuan replied with a straight face.
Everyone there looked at each other, and then they seemed to be even more jealous of An Xin, even though An Xin had been busy texting each other with Xiao Long.
"How was your fake date, did everything go well?" asked a somewhat curious Xiao Long.
"Fine, Brother Xiao Long. But I feel very awkward. You know your friend is really like an artist, he is handsome, and fashionable, really very charming. I am speechless at all whenever I am close to your best friend, I am really embarrassed, Xiao Long brother."
"Oh my God, An Xin, you have to remember that Xuan is a butcher, the most rotten female and male player in this world. If you are tempted by him, I will absolutely never forgive him and I will drag you home right away, An Xin!"
"Yes, Xiao Long brother. Don't be afraid, I can tell by his eyes and demeanor, so calm down. I can actually see who he really is. So you don't have to worry, I can take care of myself."
"Dear,"
"Yes?"
An Xin immediately turned her head when Li Xuan called her over and over again. The back of her hand touched An Xin so she could pay attention, and it managed to make An Xin put her phone in her pants pocket.
"I'm sorry, just now my brother-in-law sent some messages, he asked what I was doing right now," An Xin explained. Her friends looked at An Xin with annoyance until one of them took a liquor bottle, drank it, and put the bottle on the table between the food.
"How about we play a game of truth or dare now?" said Zue Er, asking for an opinion. Everyone there looked at each other, and Li Xuan preferred to remain silent as he glanced at An Xin. Li Xuan seemed to be starting to feel that An Xin's friends were suspicious of his relationship and An Xin's, and this was where Li Xuan had to sort things out.
"So what's the challenge?"
"We can take the challenge, or choose to drink. How?" asked Zue Er again.
Li Xuan nodded, and his friends nodded too. Meanwhile, An Xin seemed to be tugging at the hem of Li Xuan's T-shirt.
"How is it, I'm always unlucky when I play this game. What if later—"
"Shut up, follow the rules. Don't you realize that your friends are all suspicious of our relationship? Don't let them become more suspicious of us and we'll find out we're not a real couple," whispered Li Xuan, who was already getting annoyed.
A Xin nodded as well, and then she took a deep breath. Take a bottle of wine, and then she drank perfectly. Li Xuan tried to take the bottle and finished the wine that was in the bottle.
"I want a drink,"
"I don't want you to get drunk," Li Xuan warned. The problem was, Li Xuan was afraid of getting out of control himself. And he hoped that An Xin would still be aware so that Li Xuan wouldn't do anything.
Li Xuan rubbed his face roughly, and then he took another drink.
"What's the matter with you guys? why do you guys keep arguing? Didn't you guys always look cute when you first met?" Bai Lusi quipped. She seemed to smile at that. Especially An Xin who looked stiff, because from what she saw, the one who kept trying to be cute was Li Xuan.
An Xin, whose face was already reddened, also looked down. This really shouldn't be at all. How could she not? She had troubled someone like Li Xuan to come this far to be An Xin's pretend lover, but An Xin herself was acting like this, An Xin shouldn't be so stiff. She should have been more flexible. And didn't bother Li Xuan.
An Xin immediately grabbed Li Xuan's arm, her eyes looking at Li Xuan with her teary gaze.
"I'm sorry if I've been bothering you all this time. I didn't mean it that way at all," An Xin said in the end.
Li Xuan didn't seem to have the heart to see An Xin like that either, and then he ruffled An Xin's hair briefly.
"I forgive you. So, let's quickly get into this game, okay? If you lose, I will drink the wine for you, how about it?"
"Well!" An Xin's spirit. Her smile broadened, and that made Li Xuan smile again as well.
Everyone seemed enthusiastic about playing the game. One by one, they got a challenge from a game. Some took the challenge, and some chose to drink direction. Until the tip of the bottle was pointed at Li Xuan and managed to make everyone there smile with satisfaction.
"Brother Li, may I ask you a question. How old is your girlfriend An Xin? I'm sure a handsome and well-established man like you will be liked by many women, you just have to choose one of them, right?" asked Bai Lusi.
Li Xuan seemed to take a deep breath, then he chose to take a sip of the wine on the table, and it managed to make everyone there disappointed.
"I don't want to answer, because I'm already with An Xin," Li Xuan replied.
An Xin smiled at Li Xuan's answer until the end of the bottle turned to An Xin.
Zue Er seemed to be smiling as if she had found the prey she had been aiming for. She felt pleased to be setting the trap and seeing if An Xin would answer this challenge in what way.
"An Xin, when was the first time you kissed big brother Li? And, we want to see you and brother Li kiss. You know, that we also kissed a few times earlier because of this game. So how? You guys are dating right?" challenged Zue Er.
An Xin seemed to be holding her breath, then she glanced at Li Xuan, scratched the nape of the neck that didn't itch, causing Li Xuan to take the bottle of wine on the table but was held back by An Xin.
"We first kissed when we first decided to date, that was our first kiss,"
An Xin seemed to be silent, then she tugged at the hem of Li Xuan's T-shirt, kissed Li Xuan's lips while closing her eyes tightly. Li Xuan's eyes widened in shock. Seeing what An Xin was doing. Li Xuan slowly started to put his hands behind An Xin's head and started kissing An Xin so warmly.
Everyone there was just silent like a fool, in fact, what they thought was wrong. Li Xuan and An Xin were lovers for real!
