36 What? He's not there?

Time passed and Xia Sinian's graduation drew near but as it drew near, Xia Sinian started feeling strange in his body. At first, he ignored this but when he coughed out blood one time, he decided to see a doctor.

When he got the result, the color on his face was drained. That was why when Li Bingbing reached home, she noticed how quiet Xia Sinian was than the usual.

"Hubby, are you alright?" Li Bingbing asked as she went behind him and massage his shoulder.

Xia Sinian snapped out of his thoughts before he turned to Li Bingbing with a small smile on his lips, "Yes, I am. I was just thinking of something."

"Thinking of what?"

"Nothing important." Xia Sinian stood up and turned to her.

"But-"

Xia Sinian interrupted her by placing a kiss on her lips. He deepened the kiss as he hugged her by her waist.

Li Bingbing was surprised by it but she was soon distracted by it that the questions she had in mind faded like smoke.

Xia Sinian distracted himself from the thoughts that bothered him by focusing himself on Li Bingbing.

He has already made a decision but for now, he wanted to spend his time with Li Bingbing and escape reality with her.

He knew that it was going to be hard for them, especially for him since Li Bingbing was the only woman he ever loved. Losing her was something he can never imagine but at the same time, he had other priorities and because of that, he decided to start focusing on those.

He watched Li Bingbing's red face and tears were threatening to fall from his eyes. He leaned and kissed her by her forehead, "I love you, Bingbing."

Li Bingbing couldn't help but smile when she heard those words since she rarely hears them from Xia Sinian.

Xia Sinian was a shy man and because of this, there were times where he was shy in telling her honest feelings.

"I love you the most, Sisi."

...

When Xia Meilin arrived in their apartment, she saw Xia Sinian and Li Bingbing's clothes scattered around the floor and aside from that she heard moans coming from the kitchen.

Of course, Xia Meilin already had an idea on what was happening between her brother and best friend, that was why she quickly went out of her apartment.

There's a room for doing it but how could they do that in the kitchen? They're messing up the place! They really should clean up before she goes back!

As Xia Meilin crossed the street with a red face, she didn't realize a black Rolls-Royce car was heading straight to her.

When she heard the horn of the car, her legs automatically stopped as she stared wide eyes at the car.

It was a good thing that the car was able to stop just in time a few inches away from her.

Her legs shook and gave up, making her fall on her butt.

A handsome and tall man wearing a black retro suit went out of the car and walked towards her. He had a stoic look on his face and when he saw the shaking Xia Meilin, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He reached out his hand to her, "Are you alright?"

Xia Meilin nodded a few times before she held his hand and with his help, she stood up.

"T-Thank you..."

The man nodded before he let go of her hand. Instead of scolding her for suddenly crossing the streets in green lights, the man said, "You should be more careful next time. Don't forget to watch the signal lights before you cross the street."

"I... I will. Thank you, mister." She bowed at him.

The man didn't bother giving her a second look before he entered the car.

"Let's go." The man said to his assistant.

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Meanwhile, Xia Meilin went to the cafe that was just a few meters away from her.

Her heart was beating fast and it was pounding loudly. If that car didn't stop on time, she could have been dead right now!

Since Xia Meilin's mind was focus on 'she almost died' part, she wasn't even able to remember the man who helped her.

"Xiao Mei, fancy meeting you here."

Xia Meilin raised her head and saw Lin Qingge smiling at her. "Do you live around here too?"

Xia Meilin nodded, "Yes, just across the street. What are you doing here?"

"I was visiting a friend of mine, I just decided to stop by here and by some snacks for him."
