CHAPTER 26

Haoxiang and Pandora finally walked out of the haunted house. They could both honestly say they had a good time.

'Pandora!' Chengxin was the first to run over to her. 'I hope it wasn't too scary for you.'

'Not really. Okay honestly...it was. But at least I had a partner.' She turned to Haoxiang.

Chengxin gave him a glare then looked back at Pandora's face. 'That's good.'

'Chengxin, we're trying to get footage of them explaining how it was with their partner. Move over.' The director advised.

Chengxin sighed and smoothed Pandora's hair, before going to stand next to Jiaqi. Jiaqi was watching the scene humorously and started to laugh when Chengxin had arrived.

'Dude...I know you're worried about her partnering with Haoxiang.' Jiaqi explained. 'I think you're too worried. Haoxiang wouldn't do that to you?'

'Maybe not.' Chengxin looked at the two of them talking happily to the cameras. 'But what if it just naturally starts again? I kind of liked it better when Haoxiang and Pandora were always fighting, not this. I think they got along pretty well in the haunted house.'

'It doesn't matter, if I have to be honest, I think Pandora really likes you. Don't worry about anything.'

After they were done explaining their encounters in the haunted house, Pandora nodded curtly at Haoxiang then started to leave.

'Wait, where are you going?' Haoxiang grabbed her hand fondly.

Chengxin felt his hands squeeze into a fist automatically, and Jiaqi noticed. He bit his lip nervously at the situation.

'I think Chengxin really wanted to talk to me.' Pandora answered and pulled her hand away from Haoxiang's.

'I thought we were talking too.' he narrowed his eyes.

'Maybe later. See ya.' Pandora quickly walked over to Chengxin, while Haoxiang awkwardly put his hands in his pockets.

'Took you long enough.' Chengxin stated in a bored tone.

Pandora put her elbow on Chengxin's shoulder. 'Are you mad at me?'

'I'm not mad at you.' Chengxin corrected and looked at Haoxiang who was standing by himself. He could have gone to stand with the rest of them, but it was obvious he was avoiding Chengxin.

'Then why don't you smile at me?' She moved her face in front of his.

Chengxin sighed then forced a full-toothed smile.

'Basically he's jealous about you and Haoxiang.' Jiaqi spoke on Chengxin's behalf then chuckled.

Pandora removed her arm from his shoulder. 'Don't be a baby.'

'Fine, whatever.' Chengxin folded his arms and looked back at Haoxiang, who was still standing there like a foreigner.

...

'So how did it go?' Junlin asked Haoxiang after Junlin had gotten out of the haunted house. 'By the way, that was scary. Did you get scared?'

Haoxiang shook his head. 'It's not my thing to get scared. And if your question meant how it went with Pandora, then my answer is it went pretty good. Well, she did smile at me.'

'Sometimes I think history is pretty strong you know. When you have history with someone, you feel closer to them. 'Cause that would mean she's known you much longer than she's known Chengxin. And with you, she won't have to worry about Nikita's crush. It's just the perfect relationship.' Junlin assured him.
