  • by Patricia Taylor Today, the Jingyuan High School organized one last parent teachers’ meeting before the session ended. In class 12th A, An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi met Lu Zhaolin at the door. An Qinyan and Lu Zhaolin went to sit with Lu Xuan while Gu Yanxi sat with Gu Shangyan. When the teacher called out Gu Shangyan’s name, Gu Yanxi went ahead with his nephew to meet the teachers. Since Gu Shangyan was a good kid, the teachers had no complaints about him at all. They were praising him and said how proud they were to be…
  • by Patricia Taylor After the death of Old Bai, it took the Bai family a month to come back to their normal routine. Yoona’s high school had ended in China as she was an international student and she was supposed to go back to London to appear for final exams. Before returning home, she wanted to meet Gu Shangyan. Today, she was waiting for him in the same library where they met. She was sitting on the ladder just like the first time they met. As Gu Shangyan entered the door anxiously, she stopped in his footsteps. He let…
  • by Patricia Taylor “Yan Ge, are you not going to the library after school?” An Xiulan asked her brother as all of them were going home at the same time. It was one of the rare times when the three of them would return together. “Yeah, ” Gu Shangyan softly said, tugging his school tie to loosen it. He heaved out a tired sigh and checked his phone once again. Since last night Yoona hadn’t texted him. He didn’t trouble her more because these days all of them had been too busy with studies that they didn’t even…
  • by Patricia Taylor “Stop, ” Han Zixin said and An Xiulan stopped dancing to look at him. She was dripping with sweat, her face was red and her body was aching. “What?” She asked, gasping for breath. “You look thin, ” Han Zixin said. “Really?” An Xiulan said as she looked at the mirror wall. “I’m not following any diet plans.” “Do you even need a diet plan?” Han Zixin scoffed. “You are running from one place to another every day and still have the cheek to think about a diet plan.” “I’m…
  • by Patricia Taylor “Student An, do you decide which universities you want to apply to?” The headteacher asked. He called her to his office to have a talk with her. Every student had filled in the choices but only she was left in her class. “I haven’t decided, ” An Xiulan said in a soft voice. “What do you want to study in college?” The teacher asked. “I don’t know, ” An Xiulan said truthfully. “Do you mind if I give you a suggestion?” The headteacher asked her and she school her head. She…
  • by Patricia Taylor Gu Shangyan and Lu Xuan fell silent. They didn’t believe that they forgot about her phobia of water bodies. How could they forget about An Xiulan’s special condition? They shared a look which meant the beach idea was cancelled. Eventually, the sibling trip was cancelled. Nobody asked the reason and nobody tried to explain it. An Xiulan was cool with it. Maybe, it was for the better. “Lu Xuan, why are you here?” An Xiulan asked her brother who took a seat next to her in the cafeteria. “Why…
  • by Patricia Taylor An Xiulan blinked her eyes. What did she mean by ‘we’ here? Didn’t Lu Xuan make himself clear that she couldn’t bring her best friend Han Zixin and he wouldn’t bring Song Xueyun and didn’t this rule apply to Gu Shangyan too? They were going trekking to spend time with their brothers and sister. It was the reason why they weren’t even taking An Qinyan or Gu Yanxi with them. “What do you say?” Yoona asked her with a bright smile. An Xiulan looked at Gu Shangyan who was smiling at her as…
  • by Patricia Taylor “What’s up with you?” An Qinyan asked as she saw An Xiulan sitting on the dining table staring at the food blankly. “Mom, I don’t know what I want to do in future, “An Xiulan said. Lu Xuan placed his chopsticks on his bowl and looked at her before saying, “Didn’t you say you want to contest for Miss China this year?” “Of course, I do, “An Xiulan replied. “It’s a means to an end, not an end itself. What I mean is I want to be Miss China to make a difference with my voice and the…
  • by Patricia Taylor The senior year of high school is one of the most important and special years of every student’s life and it was no different for An Xiulan and her friends. For her, the year started with a boom and as for how it would end…it was not easy to predict. As for how it started with a boom, it was easier to describe as a naughty student of Class K blasted the chemistry laboratory by mixing chemicals. On the very first day of the senior year, the entire Class K was punished outside the principal…
  • by Patricia Taylor The school ended soon and she dragged him to the library with her. In just two months, their junior year was ending and soon they would be entering their senior year. He couldn’t help but think where the time went by so quickly. Has it really been around two years since he met her? “Why are you staring at me?” An Xiulan asked him. Han Zixin just shrugged. “No music class on weekends?” An Xiulan asked him. “How is your new music teacher?” “She is fine, ” Han Zixin bitterly said. He…
