Seven Years later. “Someone, save my daughter.” A woman cried as she collapsed on the ground. She had come to kindergarten school to pick up her child but who would have thought that the terrorist would hold all the children and teachers hostage inside the school? “Mam, please try to understand. You have to cooperate with the authorities, “The policeman said. Although it was the police’s responsibility to save civilians from terrorists, the emotional parents weren’t understanding that…

“Mom, ask Lu Xuan to take care of Xueyun for me, ” An Xiulan said as she looked at her other brother who was sitting there with a look that said ‘don’t talk to me or I will burst into flames’. “She is going to Shanghai, “Lu Xuan said through gritted teeth. “I’m going to Beijing. And even if we are going to the same place, I won’t take care of her for you.” “Why? Are you still bitter?’ An Xiulan asked him with a raised eyebrow. “I’m not talking to you, ” Lu Xuan snorted as…

An Xiulan took several minutes to let Yoona’s words sink into her head. She heaved out a sigh and left her room. She saw that the lights in Gu Shangyan’s room were still on and she knocked on the door. “Yan Ge?” Gu Shangyan immediately opened the door. “Are you okay?” He was worried that she was hurt and that was why she was knocking on his door in the dead of the night. An Xiulan nodded her head and he heaved out a sigh of relief. “Yan Ge, Lu Xuan is always your drinking buddy. Mind…

There was a strange atmosphere in the house after the results announcement. She could feel in her bones that something was not right. Today, when An Xiulan was on her way to her mom’s room, she heard some loud voices coming out of it. “What do you mean by this, Zhaolin?” An Xiulan shouted over the phone. “How can you do this? You know Xiulan has yet to recover.” An Xiulan knew one thing her mother never shouted at anyone. No matter how tough the situation was, she had her way to handle…

A week later, the fracture of her leg was removed too. She could still not walk much on her own but it wasn’t as bad as it was earlier. When she reached home, her family and friends all gathered together to throw her a get-well-soon party. She plastered a smile on her face and pretended to be happy just like she had been doing for a month. She acted as if her life wasn’t in shambles. As if she wasn’t crumbling bit by bit. As if she wasn’t afraid of being left behind. Sometimes, it hurts less to…

“Why are you here?” An Xiulan asked Han Zixin as she saw him sitting on the stool. Han Zixin just shrugged. He peeled an orange and began feeding her. “I told you to not come daily, ” An Xiulan said as she took a piece of orange in her mouth and began chewing on it. She was not going to say that she hated when he had to leave. She would spend the rest of the day waiting to see him the next day. Yes, she wasn’t going to say that staying at the hospital would become absolutely unbearable if he…

An Xiulan opened her eyes and at the sight of white walls and the smell of disinfectant, she groaned. Lord, please don’t let it be a hospital again! She was tired of getting admitted to the hospital. Each time she would faint and find herself in a hospital. This was now getting ridiculous. She couldn’t understand who loved the hospital more? The doctors or her rotten luck! Or maybe hospitals loved her too much that she was here every third day. “How do you feel, Miss?” The doctor asked her as she…

Song Xueyun snorted. “Hah, you wish! I’m not keeping up with your arrogant ass. Who knows I might have applied to the same college as Genius Gu.” “I can vouch that you didn’t, ” Gu Shangyan replied. “You are going to Shanghai as you always wanted to.” “You are going to Shanghai?” An Qinyan asked, surprised. “I’m not sure, ” Song Xueyun shrugged. “Nanxian and I made plans to go to Shanghai once upon a time but he got a better college. I don’t know if I want to go there…

Overnight, An Xiulan’s popularity grew by leaps and bounds. It was not that she was not popular before but now her social media followers were equal to that of an A-list celebrity. When the media was expecting her to give interviews after interviews, the girl left the contest venue silently and even after a week there was no less of her. Netizens were worried about this.
