Into You | Luqi

<Into You> Her

Staff: If you could remove one of the cast members from the show, who would you pick to leave? 

Lucas: I'd pick Yuqi, I want to trade her with another girl...

Yuqi sighed again for the nth time when she remembered the truth-game they played earlier today. She knew it just a harmless game, nothing deep or serious about that, it was a scripted show after all, but somehow it bothered her. Like a lot. She never felt like this before. This is so out of her character. It was so strange and—

"Are you okay?" A soft male voice brought her back to reality, Keep Running wrapped-up party. The staff managed to rent one of the famous rooftop bars in Macau for them.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine ge..." she mused low when she found Yanan standing in front of her, holding a half-empty glass of champagne.

"Are you sure?" Yanan stared at her, looking doubtful.

"Yeah, I'm totally fine..." she lied again. Yanan was about to retort her answer when a sudden exploded laughter from the crowded barbeque corner stopped him. Both of them turned their head in unison toward the noise and Yuqi found the other casts laughing over something Lucas said.

Yanan chuckled softly then mused, "Ah, I wished I had half of his energy. Is he always that bright?" he asked her afterward.

Yuqi stared at Lucas who animatedly explained something to Zheng Kai and the rest of Keep Running members. She sighed again and murmured, "Most of the time..."

Yeah, since the first time she met Lucas, she always thought he was a born entertainer. He's hilarious and fun on or off-screen. Naturally, people are drawn to his neverending charms.

'I do like a cute girl who said I'm not her type...'

Lucas's words echoed again in her mind, followed by the flashback scene of him kissing her on top of the kitchen counter. She could feel her face getting hotter and—

"Why are you blushing?" Yanan interrupted her jumbled thoughts. She snapped back to the present.

"Wh-what are you talking about? I'm not blushing. It's the champagne..." she brushed it off with a peal of awkward laughter to conceal her flustered expression. The latter stared at her, looking suspicious and amused at the same time.

Ever since that day, Lucas has been evading her thought more than he should. She couldn't stop thinking about him and that damn kisses while he acted as nothing happen. She glanced at the crowd again and spotted Lucas gulped down his champagne, looking unbothered and chill. How could she was the only one who feels this way? So unfair—

"Should I call him over?" Yanan interrupted her thoughts again.

"Huh? What?"

"Don't what me princess..." Yanan gave her a teasing grin. "I think I should go and fetch our prince charming..." he gestured his head toward Lucas who was laughing merrily with Yan Lin on the far corner. "Just wait here!" Yanan added again and with a playful glint in his eyes he walked off.

"No, ge, that's not—"

Yuqi tried to stop him but it was too late, he's already far away when she fully grasped the meaning between his words. In the distance, she watched Yanan walking toward Lucas and whispered something to him. The latter laughed and glanced over to her direction.

"Oh crap!" She cursed under her breath when Lucas excused himself from the crowd and jogged effortlessly toward her.

"What are you doing here all alone?" Lucas asked her.
