"Yes." Xi Xing's voice when he answered pulled Xi Ming from his thoughts. "If not?" he asked as he tilted his head, seriously staring at Xi Ming's face.
Xi Ming's brows knitted. "If not…" he muttered as he pondered. Suddenly, he paused and stared back at Xi Xing. "Wait. You're really leaving Gong Xian?!" he asked, his voice and face filled with disbelief.
Xi Xing frowned, seemingly confused as to why Xi Ming would react like this. "Yes." He nodded. "What's wrong?" he asked.
'what's wrong?'?! Xi Ming thought as his eyes widened. How can there be nothing wrong when you're leaving the person you're always sticking to? Did something suddenly possess Xi Xing?! Xi Ming gaped at Xi Xing. "Xi Xing… you…" he spoke when he suddenly thought of something. His eyes brightened and he held Xi Xing's shoulders. "Xi Xing, you… you're leaving Gong Xian for… me?" he said, his voice low and sounded unsure.
Xi Xing nodded. "Yes. Aren't I going with you?" he asked.
