Fight ICE with ICE

Cheng Xiao: Interferences

"Hi guys! Did you have a lot of fun without me?"

As she approaches us, I feel my heart sinking immediately.

I guess I can't take pictures anymore.

I sigh and move away from Mr. Xu.

She walks right up to us and sits right next to Mr. Xu. They immediately start talking about their stuff, and I feel left out. I put my phone down and space out.

I'm feeling down. What am I feeling right now? Must be something in the air. Yea, that's right! Something in the air. Nothing else. I better walk around to get a little bit more of fresh air in my lungs.

I get up, not thinking that Mr. Xu would care if I left so suddenly. But when I get up, he grabs my wrist gently. He holds me back and looks at me questioningly.

"Where are you going, Miss?"

Wei Wei looks at me with a smile, but for a second, I swear I saw her with a look of pure anger and jealousy.

I smile back at her and then look at Mr. Xu, who is still holding my wrist. I glance at my wrist, and he notices, so he lets go immediately.

"Oh! Sorry, uh, where are you going though?"

I decide that it's best if I just tell him I want to go take a walk.

"I think I want to go take a walk. Leave me alone for a bit. I can take care of myself!"

He nods understandingly, although he looks a bit startled by my sudden aggressiveness. He reaches for my phone.

Dang it! I was about to forget my phone!

"Here. You were forgetting this."

He smiles with a little hint of hurt in his eyes.

Ughhhh, I don't have time for this!!!

I thank him and walk away.

I don't even know where I'm going. I've never been here. I wish someone could be here with me. But not even Wei Wei is on my side. At least, it looks like it.

I keep on going farther and farther away when I hear my notification sound. I look at my phone and it's Mr. Xu. For a second, I feel happy, but then I feel down again. I sigh and open the message.

*Mr. Xu*

Hey, Miss Xiao :)

Don't go too far away!

Stay safe and come back soon!

I smile and put my phone away. I look around and love the view of this park. It is so different from the city.

"You like the view here?"

I turn around and see a very handsome guy. He speaks in Chinese, but I get what he says.

"Yea! It's very pretty."

I smile and look at him. It might come out as creepy staring for too long, but this guy is way too good-looking.

"I'm Xiao Nai! Nice to meet you! What's your name?"

"My name is Cheng Xiao!"

I extend my hand for a handshake, but he takes my hand instead and kisses it.

I blush as he looks back at me in the eye. It feels all so magical that I don't know what to say or what to do. He let's the silence stay, and we just stood there, not saying anything.

Suddenly, he asks for permission to hold my hand. I'm hesitant, but I let him grab my hand. As soon as he does, he starts running, and we head towards the other side of the park.

We reach a part of the park that has a small lake. There's a bridge to cross the lake, and we decide to go stand there.

I don't even know why I trust this dude. Maybe I should tell him I have to go! I don't want to get kidnapped. I got distracted by his looks. Luckily, he didn't turn out to be some phsycotic killer... at least not yet!

"Hey, I've got to go back to my friends. It was really nice to meet you, though, and run around for a bit!" I laugh.

He chuckles and nods.

"Can I head back with you? I don't have any company and I'd love to meet your friends as well!"

I nod as I understand most of what he said and lead him through the now crowded park. It takes a few minutes, but we get to Mr. Xu soon.

"Hey! I'm back!" I smile widely as I get near.

Wei Wei sees Xiao Nai and immediately greets him with a small smile and a nod from the head. On the other hand, Mr. Xu has a weird look on his face.

"Who the hell-"
