Forbidden Love [Jiaqi x Xueer]

06

The devious words from Jiaqi's lips made Xueer shiver while she finally realised how close they were. Awkwardly leaning back, the red headed rolled her eyes and huffed, "Whatever, you're just being weird again. I didn't even offend you in anyway."

Sighing, Jiaqi shifted back and mumbled softly, "That's what you think..." Obviously Xueer heard it but chose to ignore since she thought Jiaqi was probably just being weird again. "Let's just get into working on our project, my class starts in 1 hour." The shorter pushed as she pulled out her laptop and notes, ready to discuss for their play.

"So it's decided on Romeo and Juliet?" The latter continued while her curious gaze lingered on Jiaqi, waiting for her reply. Nodding her head, the short haired folded her arms and leaned against the chair, yet her eyes never leaving Xueer's face. Turning back to her computer, she then started typing and listing down their notes by the sides as Jiaqi read them out.

"What emotion should we convey in this part of the act?" She faced Jiaqi, only to be taken aback by the intense gaze of the latter. Even after making eye contact, she did not waver but continued staring. "Has anyone told you how stunning you are?"

Raising a brow, Xueer scrunched her nose a little at the sudden compliment and stated the obvious, "Is that even a question? What do you expect from the popular girl?" Jiaqi suppressed a smile and licked her chapped lips as her deep gaze bored into the red headed, "Has anyone described how gorgeous you are then?"

Xueer's brow furrowed as her forehead creased with confusion, "What do you mean by that? Also why are we even talking about thi-" Jiaqi completely shut her up by reaching out to her ruby red hair, twirling it between her slender fingers, "Xueer, your smile is as bright as the sun and stars combined, your eyes are like a doll's, perfect and huge. Your skin is just like porcelain and you are the definition of perfect."

The red headed was frozen from head to toe, she couldn't even bring herself to stop Jiaqi from her flirting. Instead, she felt her a weird tingling sensation in her guts as she listened to the soft sincere words escaping the latter's lips. Xueer knows it's wrong especially when she's with Yuxin but she couldn't help but feel the magnetic force as she looked at Jiaqi's galaxy like eyes, pulling herself deeper into a trance that Jiaqi was putting her in. It was like a spell that she couldn't escape.

"That's what I meant by describe..." Jiaqi's lips slightly tugged up in the corner while she leaned back again, enjoying the sight of a very flustered Xueer. Realising that she had just been played with, Xueer's blurry vision turned sharp as she glared right into Jiaqi's soul, of course still with an obvious hint of red on her cheeks.

"I-I got to go, my classes are starting soon." Stuttering a little, Xueer mentally cursed at herself while packing up. Not sparing a glance at the smirking latter, the red headed hurriedly scribbled down her number on Jiaqi's notebook and muttered, "Here's my number. Text me about our next meet up for our project. Take note that I will not entertain other messages from you that's not related to our project."

Jiaqi chuckled silently as her eyes followed the silhoutte of Xueer, a full victorious grin plastered on her face while thinking, well that went better than expected.
