Venti's POV

I walked to the training field to look for Xiao.

"Sheesh, has he forgotten about my invitation?" I pouted.

"Gonna confront him." 

I reached the field and looked out, trying to spot Xiao, since the field is HUGE.

I found him and was about to get to him when I saw a girl hugging him.

Another annoying fan? I stared unimpressed.

"...Long time no see, Xiaoxiao! Did you miss me?"

Xiaoxiao?

Is she trying to earn a slap from him?

He froze for a while, then hugged her back.

He.

Hugged.

Her.

Back.

And smiled.

He?

Xiao?

Smiled?

At another girl?

I covered my mouth in horror.

Are they...

IN A RELATIONSHIP?

I glared daggers at the girl, while she started chatting with Xiao.

I wasn't jealous, it's just...

I'm Xiao's fiancé!

He shouldn't be going out with another girl behind my back!

Not like I love him but... Ugh, whatever.

I slowly walked to a pillar, then hid behind it. Then, I ran quietly across to a bush, trying to eavesdrop on them.

"I heard you got a fiancé, Xiao!" The girl said.

Xiao sighed. "Yea, that annoying brat."

The girl giggled. "Is he that bad? Worse than me?"

"Yes." Xiao groaned.

I felt like jumping out and punching him in the face.

Me? Annoying? 

Suddenly, both of them stopped talking.

"I feel someone eavesdropping on us." Xiao said sternly.

"Yes..." The girl hummed.

Oh no, it's my cue to leave.

I quickly tried to run away but I felt a silver blade beside my neck, I froze.

I slowly turned around to see Xiao holding a sword to my neck.

"Oh, it's you." Xiao lowered the blade and sighed.

I wasn't even concerned about eavesdropping anymore, I just felt angry at him.

"Why are you going out with that girl behind my back!" I stormed up to him.

"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

"That girl!" I pointed at the girl beside him with pigtails.

"Me?" The girl raised her eyebrow.

Xiao smacked his forehead. 

"I'm not going out with her."

"DON'T THINK I'M STUPID! YOU BEING ALL FRIENDLY WITH HER, LET HER HUG YOU AND CALL YOU 'XIAOXIAO', AND EVEN SMILED AT HER?" I yelled right into his face.

"Venti-"

"I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE SUCH A PERSON! YOU-"

The girl looked back and forth between us, then let out a chuckle.

I stared at her.

"What's so funny?"

She started laughing so hard. Xiao deadpanned at her.

I was confused.

"M-me? And Xiaoxiao? D-dating? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA-"

She punched the ground and started laughing harder. Xiao sighed.

"Venti, we're just best friends, I haven't seen her in two years. Besides, she likes women." Xiao shook his head.

Oh.

My cheeks flushed a bright red.

"S-sorry! XIAO PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I-I THOUGHT- YOU- HER- WE-"

I stumbled over with my own words. My mind wasn't working and I had no idea how to phrase the sentence.

"It's alright. I get it. We get misunderstood all the time anyway." He shrugged

The girl was still laughing. She laid on the ground, reaching her hand out to the sky, as if calling god for help.

I just embarrassed myself big time. I just wanted to dig a hole and jump into it right away.

"How can I make it up to you?" I fiddled with my fingers, looking down.

Xiao thought for a while, tapping his finger to his chin.

"Remember that hang out you suggested earlier?"

I nodded.

"I've decided to go, and could we bring Hu Tao too?"

"Who's Hu Tao?" I tilted my head.

He pointed to the girl on the floor, exhausted from all the laughing.

"Oh."
