"Is that you?" - Cai Xukun FF

Chapter 6

Nana's POV

I'm in Qinjia's house playing hide and seek with two kids I've met today and Xukun. I don't think the comment is needed. The worst is...that I have to find them now. I still can't believe that after saving money for like six months I'm stucked in my best friend's house working as a babysitter. For free.

And I would be in a mall if I hadn't listened to music during my journey here.

"20!" I scream and turn around opening my eyes. The only sound that can be heard is the storm outside. How long is it going to rain today?

Where I'm supposed to look first? Ughh...why this house is so big?

I make my way to Xukun's room because he probably didn't bother hiding. I don't think he's even playing like for real, but I'm not going to suffer alone. I walk to his room and look around. Nothing.

Oh no...there are two options. First, he has actually hid somewhere and the second, he went out. And I don't even know which one is more possible and which one is worse. In fact it's raining but it's Xukun we're talking about.

"Xukun I swear if you had gone out I'll-" the loud thunder interrupts me and I put my hand over my heart. Jizas...I didn't expect that...

"You what?" says someone behind me and I scream. I turn around but I tripped over my own legs. My butt connects with the cold hard floor. "Ughh..." I mumble. I look up and see Xukun trying to keep his laugh in. I give him a death glare and he reaches out a hand for me.

"Are you okay?" he says chuckling a little and I wonder if I can trust him with this hand. I look at his face and advert my eyes to his arm again. I hesitantly take it and in no time I stand straight again. Note to myself: Xukun is strong. "Thanks..." I say quietly not sparing him a glance. "Your welcome," he responds still giggling a little...this boy...

"Now when I find you...help me with kids," I declare as I go pass him. "Are you really going to play this game?" he asks making me stop in my tracks. "Yeah...It's not that I want to, but they're just kids," I state as I turn to face him. "So..." he asks and I sigh deeply.

"When I was little Zhengting used to play with us. By us I mean me and Justin. He never liked it but he did that anyway for us. I liked the feeling of being found. I'd rather be found than win...Once when Zhengting was out somewhere and he couldn't take care of us my mom hired a babysitter. I hid with my brother in his wardrobe but...she'd never found us, because she didn't even tried. We had been sitting there like for over two hours until I got hungry. I went downstairs and saw her watching TV in the living room. It was sad that she wasn't even trying. That's why I'm going to look for them," I say as I turn around to leave.

"Okay, wait I'll help you," he declares making me slightly shocked. Like seriously...that's a really nice surprise. "So, come on," I smile at him and make my way to the next room.

"Ughh..." I whimper as I sit down on the couch. Xukun sighs deeply and joins me. "We've been looking for them for two hours already," I say. "Where they can be? We looked like literally everywhere..."

"I have no idea, Nana. If I knew we wouldn't be sitting here wondering," he states and I roll my eyes. He's more sarcastic than me...

"Hahaha..." a slight giggle can be heard and I automatically look at Xukun. He stares back at me with a questionable glare. "It wasn't me," I say. "Me neither," he declares.

"Hahaha..." I hear the same laugh again. It's so clear. It must come from this room. But where exactly?

We stand up with Xukun at the same time and look at each other. I glance at the couch.
