The Hater and the Player

Chapter 22

| An unexpected proposal coming from Shu Jian |

After that post, silence ensured and I was stifling my laughter. Goodness, how can they be mistaken as cut sleeves?

Those two players being mistaken as cut sleeves were probably the best joke I've ever heard.

As the car drove to somewhere I don't know, I decided to inform my parents of my 'company' and decided to give them a call lest they call for the police.

It didn't take long for my parents to agree, I just told them I have to go to a 'friend's place' since this 'friend' of mine reached for my help.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Teacher Feng, aren't you supposed to be a role model for us students? Lying is bad"

I was stunned for a while before Ming Chen retorted in his seat.

"Well in case you don't know, you yourself lied not just to me but to your teacher Feng too. I think that's what prompted her to lie to her parents"

"Did not"

"Did"

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

This two- are they seriously fighting? In the middle of driving?!

"Teacher Feng-"

"Feng-er-"

Both of them said as they stared at me.

"She's/he's wrong right?!"

I wanted to have a headache right now but instead I urged Ming Chen to look at the road. This fight is not his win, he should let his younger sibling win since he's older.

"Don't act like a child anymore, let her win" I suggested which made him sulk.

"That's right! I win! Ah, it feels great to have Sao zi's side" I blushed on the corner and took a glimpse of Ming Chen's side face.

Of course, this shameless man is gloating! The dejected expression on his face was long gone after hearing his siblings terms of call on me.

After that, we arrived at a famous restaurant here in City A, it's a Sichuan restaurant that only those who have reservations in the early three months can come.

I wonder how he can saunter his way here that easily. Did he had someone he was about to accompany in the past three months? No, don't go there Feng Mian.

Let bygones be bygones.

"I called Linjie and An Bolin, I don't want another rumor rampaging on the internet. It's best if we were seen with a group of people rather than just the two of us" he informed with a slight serious tone as I nod at him before taking a few steps away to create some distance between the two of us.

After the three of us arrived at the VIP room, as soon as the door closed, he held my hand and intertwined our fingers together.

He let Shu Jian go to the other room where Linjie and their newest actor settles.

Then he walked to the room and closed the door before he sat down. His hand still hold mine as he tilt my chin and whispered in my ear.

"I'm sorry for making you feel a bit alienated and panicked, I just don't want to see your name or your pictures on the internet. I'm a possessive person after all"

His hot breath fans on my cheeks making me blushed in beet red. The room suddenly increased in heat as he continued to hold my hand and his other hand on my cheeks.

He gently caressed my cheeks before dipping his head low to meet my lips. I opened my lips and kissed him with fervor.

His lips were hot and soft like silk, his palm gently stroke circles on my palm as he held my face closer to meet his lips.

It didn't take long for us to calm ourselves before a knock was heard. Blushing on the corner, I heard him list our food while I stared blankly at the cream colored walls.

Ai, his kisses were just as shameless as him.
...

"Gege, I decided I want to marry him"

It was a very sudden declaration from the one and only Shu Jian. Her eyes were filled with emotions that only those on their teens have, smitten glaze.

She pointed at a young guy, no more than twenty years of age. His peach blossom eyes were filled with apprehension, figure stiff as he looked at Linjie repeatedly.

He's a handsome lad, no doubt about it.

"Hey, don't look at him" Ming Chen nudged me on the arm as he stares at the young guy before saying. "Don't speak nonsense Hao Shu Jian, you're just a kid"

"I'm not! I'll be thirteen next year!" She shouted as she suddenly walks up on the guy and out her claws on him.

"Hao Shu Jian! Stop it! Don't be this shameless!" He gnashed his teeth in anger as he looked at her sister, fortunately were still in a room built with thick walls.

"I'm shameless and I'm proud of it! He's not just some little white face! He's a man that carries responsibility and he promised to marry me!"

How did that happen? How could he, guy who looks like he's passed the teenage years be tricked by this little girl.

Wait- I was tricked by her, well, that makes sense then.

"What?!" Ming Chen turned red in angered as he stared at Shu Jian with his eyes wide.

"She tricked me!"

His voice was good but that's not the point, ai, I can only pity this innocent guy. You're not in par when it comes to scheming boy, you better be ready for a hell of a fight.

"I can attest to that"

Linjie said as she held her right hand up while Shu Jian glared at her menacingly. I can only look at the sidelines and wait for this thing to end, but it didn't.

Well, that escalated pretty much quickly.

Notes:

• Sǎo zi, sister in law, your older brother's wife.
• Sichuan cuisine, is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan Province. It has bold flavours, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers, as well as the unique flavour of Sichuan pepper.
• Little white face in this case refers to a young man who doesn't know too much about the world. It can be used to describe a pretty boy, or a gold digger.
