Chapter 158 - MY LITTLE BROTHER

"I heard you became the director's first choice the second he met you. You also captured the heart of all our male actors, take Du Xiujun for example. He had said you were yet to show your all to the world. And I want to ask, should we expect more amazing things from you or die that hope and dream?"

"Hahaha!" People couldn't contain their laughter. 

"We all need to hope and dream. I need that dream alive!"

"I just noticed something else," a male fan said. "Your eloquence."

"Aww, thank you." Xueyan decided to add a little bit of play.

It was all fun. 

"Do you have any new drama you're currently working on? Please let that be fact."

"No, I'm sorry."

"Oh my please..."

*****

"I'm at your place, where are you?" Xiao Shiya didn't like the way his neighbours stared at her. She had wrapped all her body up even her face was completely dressed excluding her eyes to see.

The door lock clicked and was pushed inward by him. She ran into the dark room and was hit with the smell of tobacco. And she started coughing furiously.

"What is wrong with you? Turn the lights on, moron."

He chuckled then switched the light on. "Why are you dressed like that?"

"You've such nosy neighbours, worst part is they don't look away."

He chuckled again. "Apartments this days are extra expensive, I can't afford them." He whɨnėd, then went closer to blow hot air into her ear. 

"Are you willing to move out?" 

Without waiting for a second to pass, he nodded. "Sure,"

"Where are your friends?" Shiya asked after checking all the rooms and finding no one.

"Out with their girlfriend,"

"And you? Where is yours?" She placed her hands on her waist. 

He got closer, pulled her into his embrace and whispered into her ear. "She's standing right here,"

There was this soft giggle from her. "You sure you're not mistaken?"

"Very sure, I'm not."

There was a soft giggle from her. "I need a chilled cola," he moved away from her to go get it.

He came out and found her lying on the couch changing channels and his comment was, "Are you searching to see your husband or your father?"

She didn't reply.

"You won't say anything?" He put the cola down on the table. "I got a threat text from someone,"

She immediately stopped switching and sat up. "Say what?"

"Whoever sent the text said to leave you alone. The person knows my address, my parent's, where I work, where I go to for grocery shopping, times I'm out of my house and in it. The person is a psycho, knows absolutely everything about me. That sick Zhaolin isn't beginning to like you, is he?"

"He's not sick."

"Oh yes, he is. Don't defend him in my presence!" He pulled her with force from the couch. "Tell me, he isn't beginning to like you."

"Ouch." She tried to pull her hand from his grasp. "I don't think so."

"I'm sorry," and he let go. "I saw him, about a week ago with..." He searched her scrunched up face. "Do you want to know with who?"

She shook her head. "No,"

"I'd still tell you. Bai Xueyan. Hold on, I have something for you." He went to his table and pulled the drawer open, then took out an envelope. He took out six photos, the first was Xueyan entering a very expensive restaurant. The second was inside an elevator, the third was at the supposed main floor with her phone on her ear and a smile so bright like the sun. The fourth picture was Zhaolin heading over to meet her, and the fifth was him pulling out a sit for her.

The last picture was captured when he was whispering something into her ears and she was smiling like the sun.

What is so sweet?

"I told you to let this bastard be, give him the divorce papers."

"No," she firmly rejected. "That will be accepting defeat without a fight. And you? You got so close to her and couldn't do a thing?"

He chuckled, "I'm laying down a plan. I can't just move, because if I end up making a mistake that night be the end of me. And remember, I promised you, even if I'm going to hell in taking you along."

She took a step back. "Why would you keep reminding me?"

"So you shouldn't forget." He held her neck up and started kissing her on the lip.

"No, hmm... Hmmm..." She tried to reject but he wasn't listening. 

The more the kiss lasted the more her hands swayed in the air trying hard to a way to stop him. 

He chuckled, enjoying her struggle. Slowly he bent his knees and lifted her up.

"Andy!" Since she was carried unaware she shouted.

"That's announcing my name to the world. Just shut up."

"I don't want to do this," he wasn't listening instead he matched to his bedroom.

"You've been running from me, if I may ask, why?"

"I'm not,"

"Then when last was our body joined?"

"I don't care, just put me down."

"You struggling is helping my erection."

Shiya couldn't hide the disgust, her face said it all but he didn't mind.

Inside the bedroom, he put her down on the bed then stood straight to pull his pajamas pant down.

"I... Ah!" She covered her face.

"Hahaha!" He couldn't hold in the laughter. "You still get shy looking at it. Hiding your face like you haven't seen my little brother so many times these past years... You love him more than you can tell, you know right? You also love him more than Zhaolin himself." He clicked his tongue. "Should I remind you how many times you ran to it whenever Zhaolin said a hurtful word? My little brother brings you solace."

"How much shameless can you be?"

"That much and many more."

Shiya wished she could cover her ears. "That's enough."

"Look at me,"

"And find gold, perhaps?"

"More than gold." He enjoyed teasing her. The dress she wore was mid-thigh length and a black leggings covered the rest of the exposed place. "Sit up!" His commanding tone was one Shiya never said anything against.

"I want to leave, I've..."

"You better keep shut!"

"Andy Huang!"

"Xiao Shiya," he called softly, "Stop being a pain in the neck."

He put on his pant pajamas back, then lay beside her. "You're such a bore."

"Yes, I know. Just get away with that smell."

"I'm going to show myself soon, and snatch you from him. Not even you would be able to fight."

She hissed, and he turned her to face him. "Do that again."

She didn't, they stayed silent until they could both hear their heartbeat.

"What do you plan on doing to her?" She finally broke the silence.

"Whatever you wish for me to do to her..."

"The drama will premier on the twenty second of this month, I want you present there."

"Will you be too?"

"Yes,"

"What are you paying with?"

She rolled her eyes. "What is it you want?"

"Everything you have to offer, including a marriage certificate and a child."

Shiya thought she saw her heart leaving through the open windows... "A marriage certificate and what?"

"A child, either a boy or girl. Or the two at once." And he didn't look like he was joking. He doesn't like jokes... Shiya was reminded but she really had to talk him out of it. Not now when Zhaolin seemed to be detaching himself more and more from her. And there was no way to get him drunk and wake up by his side and pretend they had sėx, go on with this for a week or two and declare herself pregnant.

"Andy," her voice was shaking. "Baby,"

He didn't answer, instead shut his eyes and pretended to be sleeping. 

"Dear?"

He still didn't answer. She straightened and sat atop him. "I'll do whatever else but not what you just requested."

"I don't care,"

"You have to!" 

"Okay, the baby idea can die but the certificate? We surely getting that."

Shiya felt like a great burden had been lifted from her. "Thank you my love,"

"I'm hungry, there are some food items in the kitchen and some in the fridge. Don't cook noodles."

"Sure," she got up and went to prepare what he would eat.

The instant she left, he lightly closed the door then opened her phone and started searching her contacts.

Wanting to see if he could find the number that texted him. He didn't though, he also searched the call logs but nothing.

He sighed and laid on the bed. And one thing told him to search the messages.

And there the number was, as the number one.

He clicked open it only to see a long note reading through it, he discovered it was a love text. Not one, not ten but this was the longest and the most recent.

He went after her in the kitchen. "Who is this?"

Xiao Shiya excitedly turned around but the bright smile on her face disappeared the instant she saw what was on her phone.
