Love in first sight. (Falling into your smile)

Chapter 55

Jiao Huang spend the rest of the week with Jia Xuan, helping her to sleep without any nightmares, eating food with her, etc. Jia Xuan had gone into from a bubbly person to a quiet person. She rarely interacts with others. Ming Ze often visits her and Lao K often go to her room to do skincare together.

"C'mon, we need to get breakfast," Jiao Huang said, as Jia Xuan was resting her head on Jiao Huang's chest, watching some k-drama.

"I don't want to," Jia Xuan quietly said.

"But you will have to, c'mon," Jiao Huang said, kissing her forehead. Jia Xuan groaned, as she got up from the bed. Jiao Huang held her hand as they walked down.

"Ah, Jia Xuan, just the person we both needed to see," Xiao Rui said, as he and God Ming walked to the kitchen where Jiao Huang was making some pancakes. Jia Xuan looked at them, curious at what they wanted to say.

"Are you up for our next match against YQCB aka our neighbours aka your brother's team aka your boyfriend's team?" God Ming asked.

"Yeah, sure. I would gladly... I don't want Lu Yue to take over me so yeah why not," Jia Xuan said. God Ming chuckled.

"So you want to battle with me?" Jiao Huang asked, wrapping his arms around Jia Xuan's waist.

"Obviously. I need to show them that I am better than you. Much more better than you actually," Jia Xuan said. Jiao Huang sarcastically laughed, "You wish."

<><><TIME SKIPS><><>

"Next we will find against our rival, YQCB. Through our analysis and the chart, everyone can see that their team are almost as strong as our team. We're slightly better than them at attacking and farming. But they are slightly better than us at vision and resources," God Ming said.

"There is literally no way that I am actually worser than Ai Jia. How can this happen? I am chopping off his hands later or when I meet him the next time," Jia Xuan gasped, "He is literally my tutor. How the hell when Tong Yao and Jian Yang were together, he taught her so well that she is better than him and when Ai Jia teaches me, I am actually weaker than him. How is that even possible. Where is the logic?" Lao Mao chuckled a little. "Yah, shut up will you!"

"Ok... When both teams are at the same level, we need to prepare ourselves for a long match. Hierophant is the hardest person to deal with in YQCB. He has always been radical with his plays. Cheng Ge, you need to be alert. You must pick Kotmasu during the Ban/pick Phase. Shikigamis like this can carry the early and late games. Even if we were to face a long battle, we could restrain with it," God Ming said. Cheng Ge was listening till he suddenly answered the call.

"Or I could be helping him. I mean I battled with Jiao Huang before and played with him before, I know his plays. Also we should ban Youko and Hakuro, that is a must. Ai Jia is average in every shikigamis so no worries, ban Onikiri because that is En Shuo's speciality because he basically use that to kill me every single time," Jia Xuan said.

"Liang Sheng? Rong Rong?" Lao Mao asked.

"Ah, you want to know them ah. Ok then. Uhhh, I might as well just bribe Jiao Huang is letting me off," Jia Xuan joked. It was a different Jia Xuan. The Jia Xuan from one week ago seemed to disappear suddenly. Maybe she is ok now?

<><><TIME SKIPS><><>

"그 사람이 너랑 함께 있지 않은 게 확실해 (You sure he is not with you)?" Jia Xuan asked Jiao Huang over the phone.

"맞아요, 그 사람은 지난주부터 나한테 연락이 없어요 (Positive, he hasn't contacted me since last week)," Jiao Huang replied.

"Oh," Jia Xuan sighed.

"손목을 쉬게 하세요. 토너먼트 전에 손목을 쉬라고 말하지 않으면 Ai Jia가 나에게 강의를 할 것입니다 (Rest your wrist. Ai Jia will give me a lecture if I don't tell you to rest your wrist before the tournament)," Jiao Huang said. Jia Xuan groaned.

"Fine, bye," Jia Xuan said.

"Bye, my love," Jiao Huang chuckled. Jia Xuan rolled her eyes before turning off the call.

"He isn't with Jiao Huang. Where can he be though," Jia Xuan questioned. Tong Yao shrugged. "Seriously, you're his girlfriend, why isn't he telling you anything at all?"

"He won't tell me. Also, I wouldn't force him to tell me if he doesn't feel like doing so, unlike you," Tong Yao said.

"Excuse me, Jiao Huang shares with me his secret. And I respect his secrets," Jia Xuan fired back. Then Cheng Ge came back. "The devil is back, let's start." Jia Xuan unwrapped the lollipop wrapper and ate the lollipop.

"Cheng Ge, you ok?" Xiao Pang asked.

"It's ok. Let's continue," Cheng Ge said. Jia Xuan slightly glanced at Cheng Ge, his wrist was hurting, badly even. "We can't win this fight. Let's farm for now." Jia Xuan wanted to disobey him but seeing him in that temper, she quietly went to farm.

<><><TIME SKIPS><><>

Jia Xuan woke up and got into her outfit.



She walked down with her hair tied into a ponytail where she sees Tong Yao holding Cheng Ge's hands.

"Did you play ranked matches until dawn? The doctor said you shouldn't strain yourself. Do you want to be crippled," Tong Yao scolded him.

"I'm fine. What about you? Does your hand still hurt," Cheng Ge said, lifting Tong Yao's hand, holding it.

"I'm fine now. Look. I'm almost fully healed," Tong Yao showed. Cheng Ge smiling like a bloody idiot. "You shouldn't train too much."

"Uhh guys. Please don't go lovey dovey in front of me right now. I swear this is the worst thing that can happened. Me versus my boyfriend. Hopefully he lets me off," Jia Xuan said, taking some sandwich and eating it, "This isn't any of yours right?"

<><><TIME SKIPS><><>

Everybody was anxious, well, except for Jia Xuan of course.

"Guys. I've bought some coffee with my own money. Come, perk yourself up," Xiao Rui said, trying to light up the mood.

"Americano? Latte? Cappuccino?" Jia Xuan questioned as she looks at it, "Can I take an extra one for you know. He likes Americano." Xiao Rui gave her a 'are you seriously kidding me right now' look. Jia Xuan shrugged before taking two Iced Americano drinks, off to the other room.

"Yah! Food delivery is here!" Jia Xuan shouted as she went into the room without knocking.

"Seriously, do you have manners even?" Ai Jia questioned, "Hey, where is my order."

"I never stated that it was all for you right?" Jia Xuan said, handing the Americano to Jiao Huang, "샤오루이의 간식 (Xiao Rui's treat)."

"다른 방에 있으면 안 돼 (Shouldn't you be in the other room)?" Jiao Huang asked as he took a sip of the drink.

"They literally made the room go so emo. It was as if I was in hell or something. Terrifying," Jia Xuan said, "Yah, there was no need to scare them that much right?"

"They are scared of Jiao Huang? Liang Sheng, we actually hit jackpot," Rong Rong said.

"Literally," Jia Xuan said, "Anyways, I have to do. Fighting or not. Jiao Huang, let me off. AND watch me become MVP." Jia Xuan walked away proudly.

"I still don't believe she is your sister," En Shuo sighed.

"Neither do I myself," Ai Jia said, snatching Jiao Huang's drink away from him.
