Xia Guang took a step away from Xiong Jingfei. Something about the woman Feng Huan was talking to was frightening, but she doesn't know what it is. She asked, "W-why, are you laughing?"
This made Xiong Jingfei laugh even louder, and she didn't bother to hold herself back. Is my fate worse or yours, Feng Huan?
Feng Huan and Xia Guang were dumbfounded. They don't know what it is that Xiong Jingfei was finding so funny.
"Feng Huan is she…" Xia Guang rotated a finger by her head to sign the word crazy.
"Feifei, are you okay?" Feng Huan touched her on the shoulder and gave her a light shake.
Xiong Jingfei stopped laughing and wiped the tears from her eyes. She sighed, not sure if she was okay anymore too. A part of her feels like she might go crazy soon, but it wasn't time for her to lose her sanity.
"Your name is Xia Guang?" Xiong Jingfei took a step closer to her. She repeated her name with a smile, "Xia Guang."
"Y-yes," Xia Guang softly answered and lowered her eyes. It made her appear to look delicate and innocent. "Who are you? How do you know Feng Huan?"
Xiong Jingfei's smile faded, "Are you sure you don't know me?"
Xia Guang instantly lifted her head and shiver ran down her back. A beautiful smile was formed on Xiong Jingfei's face again, but her eyes were exactly like Feng Huan's when he's angry.
She gulped, unsure what she did to cause Xiong Jingfei to be this way towards her. It was their first time talking face to face, so why does it look like she is about to kill her?
In the same soft voice, Xia Guang replied, "No… It's my first time talking to you. Since you're an acquaintance of Feng Huan, I hope we can get along."
"Are you sure you want us to get along?" Xiong Jingfei turned her attention to the person who dragged her out here. "It looks like you're busy, so I'll be taking my leave first."
Feng Huan grabbed her arm, "I didn't finish what I had to tell you."
Xiong Jingfei stared down at the hand holding onto her arm, "Please let go. I don't want anyone to misunderstand."
Feng Huan did immediately let go, "I didn't mean to… Sorry."
Xia Guang bit the bottom of her lips. He doesn't allow her to touch him in the slightest and pull away in disgust, but he willingly grabbed Xiong Jingfei's arm and apologized for doing it.
"Xia Guang."
"Y-yes!" Xia Guang automatically replied to Feng Huan's emotionless voice. "Feng Huan-"
"This is the last time I am telling you this. I don't like you, and I will never like you." He growled, unconsciously touching the pocket where the ring case was stored. "Leave us."
"F-Feng Huan!" Tears welled up at the corner of Xia Guang's eyes. "Please give me a chance… Just one."
"What is this? Am I witnessing a love confession?" Xiong Jingfei put her arms behind her back and leaned in closer to Xia Guang's face. "Tsk tsk. You should put more effort into your crying. I'll give you a C minus."
How can you expect to win Feng Huan's heart with this little effort? Zhao Fan was better than you at crying and acting innocent.
"You!" Xia Guang's tears came to a stop. "Are you making fun of my feelings for Feng Huan?"
"I'm not making fun of your insincere feelings for him. I'm grading you on your effortless fake tears."
"How are my feelings for Feng Huan insincere!?" Xia Guang shouted. She grabbed Feng Huan's hand and swung it back and forth. "Feng Huan~, don't talk to this rude woman anymore."
Should I help him? Xiong Jingfei can see the discomfort on Feng Huan's face even though it wasn't obvious. It was similar to the expression she gives him whenever he touches her.
Truthfully, Xiong Jingfei wasn't disgusted or uncomfortable when he grabbed or touched her. She just doesn't want to give him any hope that there was something more between them. She wanted to keep her distance from him, but it looks like this time she can't turn a blind eye.
Xiong Jingfei grabbed Xia Guang's wrist and slightly twisted it to pull her grip off Feng Huan's hand forcefully.
"What are you doing!?" Xia Guang pulled her wrist out of Xiong Jingfei's grasp. She began rubbing her wrist that was turning pink. "You already let him go, so why are you still talking to him like you're close!?"
"Ohhh~, I thought you said you didn't know me?" Xiong Jingfei chuckled, tucking her loose hair behind her ears. "Do you think your little trick can fool his eyes?"
Xia Guang was afraid to look up at Feng Huan, even though she was looking at him non stop earlier. She can recover from this small mistake!
"I-I was wrong to have lied that I didn't know you." Xia Guang's voice became soft again. "However, my feelings for Feng Huan are real! Please don't get in our way."
"I would gladly open the way for you, but he clearly said that he doesn't like you." Xiong Jingfei took a step closer to her. "He said he would NEVER like you."
Xia Guang couldn't take her eyes off Xiong Jingfei. Why does she feel like she needs to bow down to her? Zhao Fan told her that Xiong Jingfei was nothing more than a pushover. Is this what you call a pushover?
"Did Zhao Fan tell you to cling onto Feng Huan, and eventually, he'll turn his attention towards you?" Xiong Jingfei whispered so only Xia Guang can hear it.
Xia Guang didn't need to confirm it verbally, her face said it all.
"Don't ever come near him ever again," Xiong Jingfei sharply poked Xia Guang's shoulders with her fingers. "Stay away from him with your ulterior motive."
Xia Guang was on the verge of really crying this time around, "I don't know why you're saying I have an ulterior motive."
Xiong Jingfei narrowed her eyes and smirked, "You are still the same person, lying until the very end."
She was about to grab Xia Guang's neck, but Feng Huan blocked Xiong Jingfei's way. Then he pulled her around his back as if she was the person who needed to be protected.
"Xia Guang..." Feng Huan leaned over and whispered a few words to her.
Xia Guang kept her head down the whole time but did walk away from them.
"Feng Huan, your luck with women is the worst." Xiong Jingfei said, watching Xia Guang turn around once to look at her.
This isn't the end between us, Xiong Guang.
"I messed up and lost the best one." Feng Huan replied, looking at Xiong Jingfei with the gentlest eyes.
Xiong Jingfei looked away from him.
I am not the best one, but the worse one.
