  • by Patricia Taylor An Xiulan was sitting on the stairs beside her class quietly with her hands supporting her face. She didn’t go inside the class for as long as Han Zixin was playing his musical instrument. Surprisingly enough, he was playing the instrument very skillfully. At this time,  she believed that he needed to be left alone. No person likes to be disturbed when they are sad and alone. Sometimes, it’s better to be left alone than having to share their grief with someone. Although he wasn’t good to her, it…
  • by Patricia Taylor … Flashback ….. An adorable boy who was about three years old was running behind a car. He was crying desperately. Tears and snot were smudged on his chubby and soft face. “Mama!” “Mama!” He fell to his knees, crying but the car didn’t stop. It was as if his heartwrenching cries were unheard. He was crying so pitifully but there was no one to wipe his tears. No one bothered to stop by him and take him in their arms to console him. A few moments later, when he was about to choke because…
  • by Patricia Taylor 🎶 “I’m Toto. I’m slow. Slow, slow, I’m slow. I’m Toto. I’m slow, but I will win. 🎶 An Xiulan was singing along with the song, walking in the empty corridors of the school. Her hands were grabbing the straps of her school and music was playing in her ears. Her mom had purchased her a fine pair of wireless earbuds. As the song ended, she heard an unfamiliar loud voice. She was descending the stairs to enter her class as it would begin in half an hour or so. “Han!” “Han, listen to…
  • by Patricia Taylor “An Xiulan, I can see you know formulas but when it comes to applying them, you go all blank,” Teacher Jin said after she failed to solve another sum. “Can you share your problems with me?” “I get confused when I have to write statements in Chinese in mathematics,” An Xiulan murmured, “I’m not used to it.” “Okay, if I explain this sum to you in English will you understand this?” Teacher Jin questioned her. “Perhaps, “An Xiulan answered. Surprisingly, when he explained it to…
  • by Patricia Taylor “Woah! I won the race!” An Xiulan shouted, parking her bicycle. She looked at the boy who was coming her way and added, “Now according to rules, you have to buy me crayfish.” She was so excited. She won the race. And now, he would buy her crayfish. “I read at the bottom of my school diary that rules are meant to be broken,” Gu Shangyan mimicked her. His blank face while mimicking her face looked so funny. In the end, he uttered, “No crayfish.” An Xiulan’s eyes widened as she realized…
  • by Patricia Taylor Currently, both of them are in the kids’ section. Gu Shangyan was putting coins in the vending machine while An Xiulan asked another question again, “Gu Shangyan, What has a head, a tail, but does not have a body?” “What do I get if I answer correctly?” He asked. His brain cells were depleting answering her questions. He had to shut her up or soon he would go mad. “Ummmm….I will go to a ghost house with you,” An Xiulan said. “Agreed,” Gu Shangyan agreed. His face was still devoid of…
  • by Patricia Taylor “CEO Gu asked you to take care of Miss An Xiulan in his absence,” An Xiulan heard the pretty woman say to a boy who was sitting by the window reading a book. His face was hidden by the book. As he heard the words, he obediently put his book down and glanced at the door. “Sure,” Gu Shangyan said and stood up to welcome the girl who didn’t look his age. But he knew who she was. An Xiulan. Miss An Qinyan’s daughter. “Hello, I’m Gu Shangyan.” An Xiulan blinked her eyes. Why were boys of…
  • by Patricia Taylor “Shall we go in?” An Qinyan asked with a smile. She was very satisfied with her baby girl’s sense of fashion. An idea struck her. She had to go on a shopping spree with her Lanlan. “Lanlan, let’s go shopping after finishing the work at the hotel,” An Qinyan said. “But mom I have a lot of clothes back at home,” An Xiulan replied with a troubled look. Could they not spend money unnecessarily on clothes? Wouldn’t it be better to try the delicacies of this city first? “Oh darling,…
  • by Patricia Taylor “What are you doing tomorrow?” An Qinyan asked while they were having dinner. An Xiulan glanced up to shake her head. “Nothing. I have no school tomorrow. I will study at home.” The entire week had passed while she was busy adjusting to her new school. Since tomorrow was a weekend, she got time to rest and study at home. An Qinyan already knew that her daughter had no school the next day so she spoke,  “Do you want to come with mom to inspect the new hotel our company built?” “What’s…
