AN: Taking a break tomorrow. I will be back the day after. Happy reading.
Jian Ci sighed, the excitement of the long weekend gone. He didn't even feel like going shopping anymore, though he had planned to take Yu Xi. He turned toward the dorm, intending on finding Yu Xi. His steps were steady, his mind already drifting toward how he was going to sulk when he finds him, when a voice called out behind him.
"Team leader, are you heading home already?" Alarna's breathless tone carried as she jogged up to him.
Jian Ci paused, his expression unreadable. "Not sure yet," he replied.
Alarna smiled, seizing the moment. "I didn't know that Yu Xi had such a pretty girlfriend."
She thought she had found her opening. Yu Xi wasn't glued to Jian Ci's side for once, and she believed this was her chance. What she didn't realize was that it was Jian Ci who clung to Yu Xi, not the other way around.
"Do you need something?" Jian Ci asked, his voice cool.
