Xia Sha did not know when did it start. But as soon as she feeds him, she felt a weird sense of harmony between them. It was strange. She wanted to kill him a few seconds ago and talking to him like a buddy a second later.
"Ever since Xiao Ni god engaged, my mother is in this frenzy mode where she forced me to find a wife. She said it would be nice if I got married before my sister." He signed.
"Well, I could understand why." Xia Sha replied, slightly turn her face to feed him a piece of biscuit. Guan Xian leans closer to Xia Sha while opening his mouth, but his eyes never leave the road while he does so.
"Hmm. Every time the pressure is too big in the house, I went to visit the dandelion fields." Guan Xian said while chewing the biscuit. This square-shaped sharp jaw where flexing whenever he chews. After a while, his adam apple bobbed.
Subconsciously she followed.
It is quite a show for Xia Sha, who then tried to hide her blush and panicky mentioning random topic.
"No matter how big your pressure in the house, It won't be as hellish at my house." She murmured while turning her head, facing the window. Guan Xian looks toward her and suddenly felt quiet.
He is giving Xia Sha time to compose herself. He has failed to notice she was hiding her red cheeks from him. And his quietness only makes her even more baffled.
Oh my god, did he realized I was googling on him just now?- Her heart pounds fast, forcing her brain to do something to ease her nervousness.
"I meant at least you did not have to face two ugly witches when all you want to do is take a rest after working hard." Xia Sha quickly added.
Guan Xian glanced at her and suddenly feeling uncomfortable feeling inside his heart. Her beautiful face was cold and rigid, but he could see all her vulnerability in her eyes right now. He felt as if he shares the same pain with her.
"That two witches at my house dare to touch my belonging now. Sadly, my father let them do that. He even takes on their side. I was so angry that I moved out that night. They could play a perfect family role for all I care." She lowered her gaze.
"Ah, that's explained why the heir of the Xia family is living in a hotel right now. By the way, don't stop feeding me."
Xia Sha huffed and half-heartedly fed him again. While he chuckles and chews, his left hand patted her head.
"Good girl," he smiled in a boyish way. Xia Sha raised her eyes before scoffed and nudge his hand away. Guan Xian continues to chuckle.
"I'm sure your father did not mean that way. You are, after all, his only flesh and blood." Guan Xian comments based on his evaluation of Xia Qi Feng.
Everyone in the circle has known how well he doted on his only heir. The poor man has his daughter betrayed the family to help her dear fiancee, who turns out to be a scumbag. Then without even looking at the past, he happily promoted her to be the COO of the company.
It shows how Xia Sha is significant in his eyes.
"Well, now that I recall the fight, I understand my father. I punched that whore's daughter right on the nose. She might need to go to Korea to fix it." She shrugged her shoulders.
Guan Xian "..." don't anger Xia Sha, duly noted.
Xia Sha realized Guan Xian is giving her a weird look right now. A mixture of amusement and frightened. Her lips twitched. Oops, She speaks too much.
"To be fair, so you don't give me that judgy face again. That elephant is wearing my prom dress. The dress that beat Xiao Ni at the Prom night."
"No way!" Guan Xian widens his eyes and looks at Xia Sha. Xia Sha grin when she saw his surprised look. It was definitely better than his expression before.
"I still remember Xiao Ni calling me at 3 A.M, Cambridge time, to cry because she lost the prom queen title. Turn out it was you, no wonder-" Guan Xian shooked his head and clicked his tongue.
Xia Sha giggles right now, she raised her right eyebrows and guess his next sentence. "No wonder she is so devastated that night?"
"Devastated is the right word. Yes, Xiao Ni is devastated, and she blames me for chasing away all the boys, so she has no prom date. I was like, hello? Was it's me who been chasing away all the boys? It's was Wang Kai from the start." Guan Xian rolls his eyes exaggeratedly.
"Yes, it was you." Xia Sha smiled, her eyes twinkle remembering the good old day in school.
Guan Xian let out a loud gasp like he was being slandered for something he did not do. He open and closed his mouth more than three times before letting out a heavy breath.
"Fine, I might be hunting for cockroaches once or twice. But Wang Kai is the culprit behind everything. He was manipulating me for his gain! Then when my sister cries, she only knew to blame me! How could I take that backstabber as my brother for so many years?" He looks genuinely furious right now.
"Everyone can see Senior Wang has special care of Xiao Ni. You are the only blind person in the whole school. Even the teacher knew!"
"No! He was too sly at a very young age. I was too gullible back then."
Xia Sha laughed and did not patch up with his words Even though he was more emotional than gullible. He was young and a powerful heir of the Guan family, a combo combination do to reckless and foolish things in highschool.
There was another silenced in the car after Xia Sha laughs dried out. She suddenly shows a little smile as her fingertips scrambling something on the car window.
"Xiao Ni is adorable."
"She is more silly than adorable. But yes, I adore her so much." He grinned while he thinks of Xiao Ni. Xiao Ni is like everybody knows, the ball of sunshine in the Guan family.
"Xiao Ni is so lucky to have a complete family, plus a good brother, like you." she murmured, the light on her eyes dimmed, and she looks more melancholic than before.
Guan Xian was shifting his eyes to the road and Xia Sha back and forth. Her sudden sentence erases all the mischievous idea on his mind. Instead, he feels the urge to protect her right now. He did not want her to felt wrong again.
"Hm, people might saw us like one perfect family. But who doesn't have a flaw? We are human, after all. My family is just good at hiding our flaws. Well, my mom is good at hiding our flaws."
"Don't say something just to make me feel better." She wrinkles her nose. Who doesn't know Guan Lin Yi and Guan Qian Si's legendary love story in the Capital city? It was like a fairytale.
Even their daughter, going to have her own fairytale soon. too. It makes sense, a good family would create the perfect condition for their children to achieve the same things.
"I am not," Guan Xian tone is serious right now.
Xia Sha scoffed, "Look at your family and look at Xiao Ni. Look at my family and look at me? See? Everything makes sense." she rolls her eyes.
Guan Xian silences for about three heart beat before he said something that makes Xia Sha almost forget breathing.
"Xiao Ni's father cheated in the past. Hence the perfect family almost fell apart. Xiao Ni is a primary student when all of it happen." Guan Xian smiles coldly when the images of his home broken apart cross his mind.
Xia Sha was dumbstruck, she couldn't utter a word. Not even moving her lips to gasp.
"Hm. He was drunk, it was beyond his control when that happens, sort of other's trap for him too. My mother was so depressed that she needs to eat sleeping pills to sleep. House feels like feel that time." He said.
"I can relate," Xia Sha chimed in quietly.
Guan Xian lips lifted up into a smile, which he tried to hide. "I know," he replied. Xia Sha did not say anything again but look at him with eyes so big that he almost thought she was a cute little rabbit filled with big curiosity.
"You look like you are really interested in my family..." he paused and she glared.
"Just tell me the story!" she snapped.
Guan Xian laughs and looks at her from sideways, "If you want to know the full version, you need to be my best friend at least! You don't even want to be my friend but digging so deep into my family matters."
Xia Sha wanted to groan but quickly pressed her lips soon as she realized he was right.
"But I'll give you a spoiler. The dandelion field is the place they fall in love again, nobody family is perfect, you see?" He stares at Xia Sha while showing the smile that makes Xia Sha's stomached filled with butterfly. It was so hard to not returned his smiles.
At that very moment where their eyes collied, both of them realized.
"Damn, I've fallen in love."
