Our fate woven in the sky《Zhanyi》

《Loop 1》

"Now or never . . ." 

*** 

I let my head hang low, apologies flowing out of my mouth like a river, warmth rushing towards my cheeks.

"Gege is so careless; do you often slap people like that?" The young ghost boy waved his hand in front of me as I ignored him and his teasing undertone, pouring all my attention to the marble floor as I continued to mutter helpless sorry's.

"All I did was save you, and yet you slapped me?" I peeked up through my eyelashes, seeing Zhan rubbing a hand against his flaming red cheek as guilt made its master in my heart.

It wasn't my intention to hit him, but somehow, it happened.

"I am so sorry . . ." I let my voice trail off, knowing an apology won't soothe his pain, still refusing to meet his eyes as I continued to bite my lip.

"You know I can sue you for possible emotional damage, right?" My eyes widened as I was about to push him away.

His breath tickled against my ear, running down my cheek as I shuffled a bit backwards, my cheeks warmer than they were supposed to be.

I don't know how he managed to come so close to me without my notice.

"He's got the point there~" the cold blue eyes of the boy looked at me as I pursed my lips into a thin line, ignoring him.

"I mean, you did give me a rather hard time, baobei, while I am your saviour!" Zhan took on a position as if he was a superhero as I buried my face into my hands, praying to God to stop this shameless man.

When I looked back up at him, I glared at him, a pout adorning my lips.

"Stop teasing me; don't you have anything better to do!" Zhan raised an eyebrow at me, his eyes twinkling with mischievousness that I didn't trust.

"I am not teasing you, baobei, I am serious; I could if I'd wanted to sue you for emotional damage~" his voice sounded so deep yet soft like silk that I almost didn't catch what he was talking about, almost being the keyword.

"Who's your baobei! I am still nice enough to give you a fair warning in advance, but if you continue to spout such nonsense! And-. And act so- so inappropriate, I will ignore you!" I fell over my own words talking as I stared him right into the eyes, wanting the world to split open and swallow me alive; I was basically digging my own grave by now!

All that was left for me was to just lay down in it!

"Wait- Gege? That man acts super inappropriately, but you accept him and decide to ignore me? I did nothing gege! And I know you can hear me, gege, so stop ignoring me!" The young boy pouted, blinking his big doe eyes, looking like he was on the verge of tears as I huffed quietly under my breath.

Even if I'd wanted to answer him, I couldn't, or Zhan would think I seriously lost my mind.

"Well, you didn't give me your name, so what am I supposed to call you if not mine~" Zhan casually swung a hand over my shoulder quicker than my brain could process as I hissed at him.

A second passed as he stared me into my eyes before a burst of loud laughter filled the place; the realization minutely slow settled down upon me. I hissed at him!

I was really a hopelessly lost cause!

"Oh gosh, you're so adorable!" Immediately my thin face got forgotten as I frowned when Zhan extended his left hand, coming towards my face, I slapped his hand away, but his other hand caught my cheek, squeezing and pulling it.
