My Unicorn Girl

"Congratulations Tian Tian! That's so sweet. I am so happy for you." Xiao Rou almost jumped in delight seeing the ring on Sang Tian's finger.

"Xie xie (thanks) Xiao Rou. It happened so suddenly that I needed time to think and accept that I am already engaged."

"So, now will you two live together?"

Sang Tian almost choked on her milk tea.

"Xiao Rou, we are just engaged, not married!"

"So what? You can still do it one or two times before marriage."

"Will you stop?" She slapped hard on Xiao Rou's hand, making her flinch and then laugh.

"What about you and Wei Lian? How far have you progressed?"

It was Xiao Rou's turn now to be shy.

"He had already taken me to meet his family."

"That's so cool." Sang Tian paused before continuing, with a mischievous smile. "So, when do you plan to get married?"

Xiao Rou looked at her with fiery eyes but that soon turned into a sarcastic smile.

"After you have two babies."

"Xiao Rou! I'll kill you today." They ran around the shop, chasing each other while laughing their hearts out.

A few days later, Sang Tian was making her way to her dorm after a full day of practice, when she felt someone following her. It was night and the street had little light. Her heart began to thump against her chest. But, before she could even think of anything, she felt a strong hand covering her mouth and eyes. But, the hands were not rough as one would expect a kidnapper to be. Sang Tian didn't have time for brooding over this, as she felt the covering around her eyes and mouth loosen after sometime. She opened her eyes and found herself sitting beside Wen Bing in a sofa, who seemed equally confused. It took another moment for them to realise who brought them there. It was none other than their friends: Xiao Xiao, Wei Lian, Li He and Huang Hao Ran. Both of them blinked two times before pounding at them.

"You guys scared me to hell. What do you think you are doing?" Sang Tian shrieked.

"Calm down, calm down you two." It was Wei Lian. "If we didn't bring you by force, we would never have an appointment to meet you." He winked at them.

"Now, let's come straight to the topic." Xiao Xiao said, his characteristic smile etched on his face.

"What do you guys want?" asked Wen Bing, finally sitting on the sofa.

"We originally only wanted to congratulate you on your engagement and upcoming wedding, but now, there is more to the story."

"Wait wait wait..." Sang Tian interrupted. "What do you mean by 'upcoming marriage'?"

"Huh! Does that mean you two are already married?"

"N..no...not at all. I meant..." Sang Tian blushed furiously while trying to explain her point.

"Okay guys, enough chit chat. Let's start our presentation now." Wei Lian turned to face Sang Tian and Wen Bing who were seated on the sofa with looks of confusion and embarrassment. Li He and Huang Hao Ran started the projector and laptop. "The name of today's presentation is, 'My Unicorn Girl'. This is a story about a girl who was an aspiring figure skater and a boy who is brilliant in ice hockey. They met and got strangled by a black thread of fate. Though bad luck befell the girl, she decided not to give up and ended up dressing as a male ice hockey player and sharing the same dorm with the boy. But wait, there is more to this story."
