"Hey hey, don't. The vapour from the food will burn my left hand. " Xiao Juhan said to her as Mimi raised her hand to eat.
"Then how do you expect me to eat then? And besides, this isn't steam to burn your hands. Untie it right now. " she said to him and Xiao Juhan turned to her with a smug smile on his face.
"What on earth are you thinking now? Besides, it's better to eat hotpot during the night. It's way more convenient since its soo cold at night. Makes you feel warmer. " she asked him.
"It's almost night so it's convenient. And I was just wondering, since you can't eat with your left hand, the only option left is for me to feed you cause I won't untie this any moment now. " he said to her putting a piece of meat in his mouth.
"Oh my goodness. This taste soo good. You should make up your mind real fast otherwise I might finish it all up. " he said to her and Mimi sneered at him before turning away proudly.
But then she couldn't find herself to look way cause she was really hungry and he wouldn't stop eating. Just when he was about to put another piece in his mouth, she pulled his other hand real hard making him stop.
"What's your problem? If you don't eat then don't prevent me from eating. It's not like I didn't give you a choice. " he said to her putting it back in his mouth again and she pulled his hand again.
"What now?! " he asked her confused.
"There was something on your sleeve and I wanted to get rid of it for you so I pulled on your shirt. Sorry. " she said to him and he looked at her even more confused.
"If its something, then couldn't you have done it with your other hand. It's just something you're brushing away aren't you? If you keep on like this, my arm might come off and you'll have take care of me for the rest of your life. " he said to her about to put the meat in his mouth again and she pulled him again. This time he just turned to her looking at her.
"Open your mouth. " he said to her and she hesitated for a while before finally opening her mouth and he placed the meat in her mouth as she chewed it delightfully.
"Such a kid. " he said looking at the delightful expression on her face. She looked just like a kid.
"Eat more. You really do look thin. " he said to her feeding her even more.

"Xiao Juhan, we've been walking for a while now. Where exactly are we going?" Mimi asked him as they walked hand in hand together.
"Nowhere. We're just walking around cause it's the right thing to do after eating so you have an easy digestion. " he said as he looked on his phone and then his expression changed right away.
"Mimi, I especially came back because I want to tell you something. " he said to her as he stopped looking at her and she looked back at him.
"You're probably gonna tell me the same thing you've been telling since high school. " she said to him and he just chuckled.
"Actually not this time. This time... I'm saying goodbye. " he said to her and Mimi felt her insides squeezing right then.
"What kind of goodbye is this? " she asked him.
"I'm going to Beijing and I won't be coming back. You asked me to stop pursuing you so I won't be doing that anymore since I'm leaving... it's just due to some personal reasons. " he said to her looking at her expressionless face.
"It's not like I was expecting you to be sad or..."
"Untie it... untie it now. Since you're saying goodbye then why bother me like this? You're such a nuisance you know. " she said holding her tears back as Xiao Juhan untied it and she walked away right then not looking back once.
"I'm sorry Song Mimi, with my identity now, I can't get closer to you even if it would hurt. Maybe if things were to be different, I would still pursue you even if you didn't like me. "

"You stupid fool, how dare you play with my emotions like that. Song Mimi, Song Mimi... you should hold on firmly and not break down. Goodness why does it hurt soo bad then? " she said to herself as she walked alongside the street then stopped suddenly.
"Xiao Juhan, you have to give me a more reasonable explanation. " she said to herself as she run back quickly to the spot they parted ways.
"Excuse me, have you seen a man about 1.87 meters tall, wearing a hat and a mask on? " she asked randomly.
"Sure, I saw someone like that. " one person said and Mimi rushed over to her right away.
"Where did he go? " she asked her hurriedly.
"He just kept walking straight as though he had no destination. I don't know whether he's changed his route or something. But if you keep going you might see him. " she said to her and Mimi run after him right away.
"The guy did look like Xiao Juhan if I'm not mistaken... or maybe I was imagining him. " she said to herself and also walked away.
Song Mimi on the other kept on running straight forward hoping to find Xiao Juhan until she spotted him.
"Juhan! " she yelled and he stopped right away turning back to see Song Mimi panting heavily.
"You can't go... you can't leave until you give me a reasonable explanation. " she said to him and Xiao Juhan looked around as people had started to look at them. He walked towards her and pulled her away.

"What do you think you're doing now? If people were to take videos it would be revealed that the CEO of M&M Jewels was seen on the streets with a man and eventually they would find out it was me since my hair is clearly visible. " he said to her.
"Then you have to give me a reasonable explanation why you're leaving. You've been torturing and pestering me for a while now and you want to leave just like that? What are you playing at now? " she asked him irritated.
"So what are you complaining about now? Aren't you the one who asked for this? Why are you making such a fuss over me leaving now? " he asked her confused.
"Well you can't leave now. I won't allow you to leave until you give me a reasonable explanation. " she said to him leaving him even more confused.
"I don't get what you're saying but I'm doing this for your own good. Stop being stubborn and go back. " he said to her about to walk away when he felt a sharp pain in his neck and then passed out.
