XiXi saw Mo Hua dolled up in curly hairs and almost drooled looking at her while on other hand Mo Hua who saw her friends standing frozen at one spot, smirked with devilish grin.
She rushed towards her friends and purposely asked, "Hey girls! What do you think of my new look?"
"Gorgeous"
"Beautiful"
"Stunning"
All three replied at the same time.
The very next moment Xi Mian pouted and said, "Why did you leave us behind and went to salon alone? I wanted to suggest new hairstyle for you."
Li Mein also sadly said, "Also you didn't select the dress which I chose?"
Mo Hua wrapped her both arms around Li Mei and Xi Mian's shoulders and said, "My Dearies, I wanted to wrap up this shopping as soon as possible. Look at the time. Its already 5.00pm now."
"What?? 5pm? Really?" XiXi exclaimed.
"Yes, so you see if I had waited for you guys to resolve the conflict on which dress to buy, then I would definitely have missed the date tonight. Do you want me to do that??" After saying this, Mo Hua made a very pitiful face gaining sympathy from her friends.
She happily smiled thinking "Thank god they believed me. It's so tiring to shop with these girls. Poor me... Huuuhhh."
All three of her friends though about their behaviour in dress shop and felt embarrassed.
Li Mei immediately said, "You are right. Good you didn't wait for us. Look how unreliable friends we are... We almost made you miss your first date..."
XiXi who was getting impatient now was continuously looking at her watch.
She impatiently said, "MoMo please let's go now else you will really not make it to your first date. Rush now."
"Yes, Yes, we should rush now so we can't catch the 5.15pm bus." Xi Mian hurriedly said while dragging Mo Hua out.
'Ugggh! Why am I always dragged everywhere? It's so exhausting.' Mo Hua thought tiredly. She wanted to have a normal talk with Yan Xuan but now with dress and makeover it is already extravagant now.
Hoping for things to go well, Mo Hua stepped out of the mall. Opened her umbrella and started walking toward the bus stop with one hand wrapped around XiXi's waist.
Soon they got on the bus and sat on the seat nearest to the exit door. It was 45mins ride back so she had enough time to rest on her way back. She was feeling exhausted from entire day's errands but still her heart was anticipating for tonight's date with Yan Xuan.
She closed her eyes and rested her head on the head rest of the seat listening to her friends giggling on some joke and letting the cool breeze blow on her face. It was a blissful feeling for her.
Mo Hua didn't realise when they reached their bus stop. She had fallen asleep and woke up only when XiXi patted her shoulders to wake her up.
"Did we reach already?" She asked while opening her sleepy eyes.
Xi Mian who saw the bus stop and was ready to get down replied to her, "Hehe girl, you slept without any care of the world. If not for us, you would have ended up somewhere in the other part of the city."
"MoMooo, was it so tiring to kiss our Aqua King that you slept so soundly?" Li Mei asked her teasingly.
Mo Hua who was about to get up from her seat smacked her arm and yelled, "Shameless!"
"What? Are you feeling shy now after doing the deed?" Li Mei again teased her turning Mo Hua's face beet red.
She got down from the bus and started walking towards the park with hurried steps.
It was a beautiful spring day and weather was very favourable for outdoor activities. Some university graduates were playing football while some where lying on the garden lawn reading books or enjoying the feeling of breezy air brushing their faces.
Some couples were sitting on the benches in university premises holding hands while some were taking a stroll in the garden.
This time of the year was blissful for every University student as all assignments and projects were submitted. Exams were still month away and they had enough time for preparations and find some time to pursue their hobbies.
This time of the year was Mo Hua's favourite as well. She liked to spent her day playing Legends of Nanshan and spending time reading some web novels.
Just when we thought about the game, she recalled something and shouted in panic, "Ooops! How can I forget that it was deadline to choose partner for couples quest tomorrow?"
Xi Mian who was walking beside her was shell shocked by her scream and halted in her steps. "MoMo, What the hell? You almost gave me a heart attack."
She patted her chest lightly to calm her heart and annoyingly glared at her, "And what is this couple's quest. You need to focus on Yan Xuan. Don't forget that he is in real and the imaginary world you are obsessed with won't have Yan Xuan. So, you better focus on today's date and don't even dare to miss it for that stupid game of yours..."
Mo Hua was surprised by her outburst and patted her shoulders to calm her down and said, "Babe, I am not going to miss today's date. Don't worry. Okay? I will do what I need to do about the game tomorrow."
Xi Mian smiled back at her when she got assurance from Mo Hua.
They were walking on the jogging track while heading towards the dormitory. All four friends where laughing and giggling while chatting on their way back.
Mo Hua was immersed in teasing XiXi for having awful time due to Rong Chi when she bumped into someone.
"Ouchh!!"
She yelped in pain and blamed herself inwardly, 'What's wrong with me today? How many times I am going to bump in to random people.'
She sheepishly raised her head with sweet smile plastered on her face and ready to apologise but what she saw left her flummoxed.
"Yo..u are bac..kk? Howw? Wh…e.n?" she spluttered when she saw the person she had bumped into.
