As I woke up the sun beaming through the windows i saw a basket on the window I immediately understood it was Lin he sent me breakfast again he knew too much I hated eating the food our cook makes cause it might be poisoned so he cooks for me personally I looked outside and saw him there looking at me while holding a bike when he saw me he smiled I didn't know why but I just couldn't help but smile back he always has his way of making my heart flutter although I know I shouldn't be feeling this way there's something that kept on attracting me to him he was like a magnet as I was thinking these things I suddenly snapped back to reality when my Father came in my room and said
"Breakfast from your best friend again?"
(X) Knock before you enter Dad
"Go down breakfast is ready"
he said and left ever since my Mom's death he has been acting as if no one can be trusted although he has a point Lin was my best friend I decided to get the basket and head to the kitchen there I saw the maids weird gazes on me as if I was some sort of Pest that needed to be cleaned although life was good and I got everything I wanted I've always hated living and spent most my time with Lin he cared about me so did his family before my Mom died I've been pampered like a precious gem until now it still is like that but the treatment is different in the past I was free now I'm like a prisoner if it Wasn't for Lins family and mine being business partners I never would have met him that was what I thought while eating as I finished I directly went In the shower and took a bath I got ready and headed downstairs with my things the driver was waiting as too send me to school I got in without thinking and we headed off to school I got out the car and went straight to class I had many admirers boys and girls but I was pretty much a boring person I did well in class and only did studying instead of hanging out with my friends which were also a rare scene I spent my time in the Library with Lin talking about how unfair the world is to us the teacher came in and class started and just like that my day starts again.
(L's pov)
Early in the Morning I got up and headed straight to the kitchen it has been a hobby to wake up early and make breakfast for Xin he has trouble trusting other people and is afraid that he'll get poisoned as I was cooking My Mom came up to me and said
"Making breakfast for your sweetheart again?"
(L) Mom stop teasing me
Your son's right Yang just let him be
(L) Dad's right Mom please let me be I just want to make Xin happy
"okay okay will leave you be come on Qin darling let's let our Lin cook for his darling"
(L) Mom!
"okay will go now"
Mom said as she made her way upstairs with Dad I couldn't help but smile with the teasing although the reason why Xin and I was close was because of the deal I couldn't help but fall in-love with him yet I'll try my best to keep it a secret so that he won't feel anxious around me that's what I thought while getting ready to send him breakfast instead of taking the car I used my bicycle and headed to his house when I got there I immediately ran to the tree leading to his rooms window after that I skillfully jumped from branch to branch till I reached his window I left the basket in the corner the knocked and directly jumped down after a while I saw him go near the window he immediately spotted me I looked at him with a big smile and he smiled back then I took the bicycle back home as I thought even just a smile from him makes my heart flutter I rode my bike home after getting home I went straight in ate breakfast took a bath and got ready for school I already had my license and my own car which I drove to school before I got in my little sister and little brother called
"lil sis: Brother Lin!"
(L) Ohh there you are you guys ready for school? "Lil bro: Absolutely"
(L) then go on don't be late
"both: okay see you later Big bro"
(L) see you,
I waved as I got in the car and headed to school I got off and everyone was looking at me as usual I had many admirers too bad I already have my eyes set on Xin they don't stand a chance I thought to myself as I went to class sat and sat down our teacher came in a few minutes later while I was thinking on how I could tell him too meet at the library again the teacher immediately started her discussion and I snapped back to reality and that was how another boring day of my life began.
(At Class)
Noisy......
(?) Hey Xin!,
(X) ohh do you need something?
(?) Wanna hangout later
(X) well-
I looked outside and saw Lin looking at me he directly looked at the library and winked at me I knew he meant to meet up so I
(X) sorry I need to meet with someone
(?) really? Who?
(X) Not important, I'll get going now see you later (?) hey wait!,
I didn't manage to look back because I was in a hurry to get to the library
(?) gosh who could he be meeting to be in such a hurry,
I went straight in the library and headed to our usual place there I saw him looking at me and smiling
(L) you came
(X) yeah, thanks for breakfast btw
(L) your welcome I'll be sending you breakfast everyday from now
(X) really!?
(L) Yea
(X) Thanks Lin I really like your cooking it's really delicious
(L) that's good to hear
(X) so why did you call me?
(L) Well, his face turned serious and then he continued
(L) we found a lead
(X) what?
(L) Yes the police said they've been getting exactly the same cases and thinks it might all be connected to each other
(X) are they finally giving this case one more chance?
(L) Yes and they want to have a word with us
(X) when-,
I couldn't finish what I wanted to say when the librarian suddenly called us through the speaker and asked us to go to the counter when we got there she said someone wanted to talk to us and handed us the telephone then left us alone as I pick the phone up someone said
"put it on the Counter so that Lin will hear me Xin"
(X) how-
"no questions just do as I say",
I put it down
"alright know that you're both listening listen closely you've got the wrong lead the person behind all of this is the same but the only ones he has harmed are 2 people which is your Mom Xin and your best friend Lin"
(L) how are we sure we can trust you?
(X) He's right how? "Meet me near the fountain where you first met and then let's talk it's hard to talk to you on the phone especially with so many eyes watching both of you right now
(X) what do you mean!?
(L) Calm down, will be there what time?
(X) Lin!
(L) Trust me Xin just trust me okay
(X) alright I trust you
(L) thank you, now tell us what time?
"After your class head straight to the fountain there's no time to lose I need to hang up now remember to meet me near the fountain
(X) wait!
(L) He hung up
(X) let's get to class now the earlier we start the sooner we can go to the fountain
(L) okay let's go, after the conversation we went to our classes and waited till we were able to go out after that we went straight to the fountain and saw a man wearing all black staring and smiling at as on the other side of the fountain.
