Xia was walking back and forth the home library. Her brother had failed to come home last night and while that wasn't a new occurrence, he always texted her whenever he wouldn't come home so that she wouldn't worry. She knew that yesterday was his date with Shan Cai and she couldn't help but worry for the both of them. She sighed as she picked up her phone, about to dial the guards she sent out to find her brother when he walked in, looking very frail and weak.

"Ahia!" She called out as she rushed to hug him. He was taken aback but hugged her back tightly.

"Hey, what's gotten into you?" He asked her.

"I was so worried when you didn't come home and left not even a text message for me, Ahia. I sent out security to find you earlier. Are you okay?" She asked as she checked for any injuries all over. She touched his forehead and felt that he was warm.

"You have a fever. And is that Shan Cai's coat you have? What did you guys do all night?" She asked him as she led him out the library and into his room.

"We were stuck in an elevator the whole night." Ah Si recounted.

"Well, I'm sure it wasn't the best place to be stuck in but hey at least you got to spend time with Shan Cai. Now, get ready for school. I'll prepare some soup for you." Xia said as they arrived in her brother's room. She made sure he went inside the room and sighed as she turned around to head to the kitchen. She hoped Shan Cai hadn't gotten sick like her brother had.

------------------------------

Xia walked through the halls of Mingde University in between her brother and Mei Zuo with Xi Men on Ah Si's other side. Her brother was bringing a paper bag with Shan Cai's coat inside it.

"Xia says that you're sick. How did you get sick on a date? You get sick when you're weak. Especially when you're exhausted." Xi Men implied.

"What are you talking about?" Ah Si asked his friend who stopped him from walking.

"Where did you go with Shan Cai? Did you follow the plan we made for you?" Xi Men asked him.

"We were trapped in an elevator the whole night." Ah Si admitted.

"An elevator?" Both Xi Men and Mei Zuo asked, ideas forming in their heads.

"Wow, so exciting. How was it?" Mei Zuo asked.

"It was cold. And Shan Cai gave me her clothes. And I started feeling very hot. I was sweating all over, so..." Ah Si began to narrate and Xia rolled her eyes as she watched Xi Men and Mei Zuo lean in to hear more.

"What happened in the end?" Xi Men prompted him to tell.

"I thought something would happen in the end. But then... the workers came and found us." Ah Si said in a frustrated way.

"You're such a weird couple." Mei Zuo commented.

"Weird? I'm still mad at that elevator worker." Ah Si commented and both boys just gave him thumbs up before starting to walk again. Xia hugged her brother from the side.

"Perverted tendencies aside, I'm glad they found you or else you might have gotten even more sick." She told him with a smile as she let go and walked to catch up to the two boys ahead.
