The heart beats the most genuine rhythm. Fast when he's in front of you, just a few steps within your gaze. Slow when he holds you, so tight that the world around the two of you fades.



I look at him, the man I have avoided like the plague. I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't believe I'm clinging on to the man that belongs to the world.



In this moment though, it's just the two of us. In this moment, I can be a bit courageous.



"AHEM."



I step back in surprise as Tian Yu coughs behind us.



"I guess you miss each other that much, huh?" He says teasingly. I nudge him back playfully.



"Jealous?" I say as I give him a hug again.



"Nah. Remember our ship was already sailing even before you met Xiao Nai?" He says confidently, alluding to the fact that we worked together first.



"Don't forget Gong Ming was already yours before you fell for that cocky Yi Xiao Nai He." Jing winks while chuckling, obviously pleased with himself.



"Cocky Yi Xiao Nai He?" Yang raises his brow.



Tsk tsk these boys. "Oh god, you guys. Jing, stop being a flirt in front of your girlfriend." I turn to Ni Ni. "I apologize in behalf of my wayward friend. Please guide him back to the right path."



Jing wraps his arm around Ni Ni. "My airen is an understanding one."



Ni Ni rolls her eyes at me. "Lin Xiang Xiang, can I please return your Gong Ming to you?"



I wave my hand in refusal. "I don't accept returns."



"Ouch, my heart!" Jing stabs himself in the heart dramatically. "My two best girls have forsaken me."



"Uh huh. Your acting needs improvement, Bao Bao." I hug Jing one last time. "Thank you for a fun-filled midnight cap but I'm afraid this furen needs to go."



"Oh yeah. We can't let the friend wait." Jing squints his eyes at me, scrutinizing my reaction.



"Bye guys!" I run off giggling as they yell my name. I look at my phone as it blinks.



I'm waiting downstairs.



I rush to the lift, embarrassed that I'll make him wait a bit longer.



Ay, Shuang! You just a hitched a ride and yet you make him wait. He's not your personal driver for god sake.



I tap my foot impatiently while watching the levels go down. Why is this lift so slow?



"All you do is work, work, work! See, you're losing weight again."



I remember Jing's words. Why must I worry others all the time?  Honestly, working is the only thing that's been keeping me sane these days.



"Don't tire yourself too much. You're filming again?"



Ay, stop it Shuang! I remind myself as I step out of the lift. Don't read too much into it. You know how he is to everybody, right? He's like a ball of sunshine, always positive and caring to all-



"Waiting for someone else?"
