Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 25

"Hey, Sera! I thought you already have a boyfriend? Why didn't you bring him tonight?"
"…" Sera glanced at Tang Zheng and smiled. "Unlike young master Tang, my boyfriend is busy with his job."
"Ah? He works until seven in the evening?" the man laughed and drank the beer in front of him. "Don't you get lonely at night? I can— "
"Young master Tang, I am never lonely. I am busy looking for other people's dirty deeds on their computers."
Laughters followed Sera's words. Everyone of her classmates knew that she is particularly good at hacking. However, everyone here was also curious about this boyfriend that she used to stop Tang Zheng from courting her. Most of them actually saw Sera and Cross multiple times however, they didn't believe that the man was Sera's boyfriend.
Sera can be considered a beauty. Despite not being really tall, her face and figure are really good. Skirts and formal wear would surely enhance her beauty. However, Sera loves wearing shirts and jeans, then her signature sneakers. This, coupled with her height, made her look cuter than anyone in this room. However, no one inside underestimated this cute beauty.
Sera graduated top of their class. Despite her refusal to join regional competitions, Sera's grades were high enough to make her the top one of their department. Moreover, this cute beauty also helped create a lot of software for their university.
In fact, rumor has it that the University's Computer Science Department Professor Song invited her to become a university professor and pursue post-graduate studies. There were also rumors that she had been invited by some big company to work for them. Sadly, the cute beauty refused.
"Ai, Tang Zheng stop talking about this matter, Sera doesn't like you! That's the only reason why she didn't accept you."

Once again, laughter followed. This made Sera more uncomfortable. She was right, she shouldn't have attended events like this, ah. She really hated socializing with these people. However, Xu Je'er convinced her that coming into events like this would be beneficial for a start-up business owner. In the end, Sera awkwardly smiled and just lowered her head, pretending to sleep in the middle of the party.
"Excuse me, is Miss Zhang here?" an attendant interrupted her noisy classmates.
"Yes?"
"This is the receipt for unlimited drinks and food. Mr. Qin already paid for it. Here is a note from him." The attendant handed her the receipt with the note. For a few seconds, Sera just stared at the receipt.
"Who is Mr. Qin?" One of her classmates asked.
"Miss Zhang, Mr. Qin said to remind you not to drink too much alcohol and also the list of the things that you wanted him to buy abroad." The attendant smiled, then he promptly left.
"Hey, who is Mr. Qin?"
"Ah?" Sera stared at her classmate. She could only utter her own words and that is, "Boyfriend."
"Oh! Wow! So rich?"
"Oi Tang Zheng! You should give up on your love. She really had someone already."
"Maybe she just set this up!" Tang Zheng argued. His handsome face contorted into an ugly scowl.
"You think she would spend thousands just to impress us?"
Slowly, the noisy atmosphere continued. However, Sera ignored the teasing and just stared at the note. No, really, it wasn't a note. It was just a heart. Aside from hearts, nothing was written on the piece of paper. She glanced at the receipt and smiled.
Cross actually helped her this time. She immediately opened her phone and texted him a thank you with a heart. Since coming to this City, Cross was always there to help her. He said she reminded her too much of her younger sister, who he lost when they were younger. So, he wanted to take care of her like how he should have to take care of her late sister.

Her classmates decided to go home around eleven in the evening, and since she was the only one who didn't drink, she was tasked to call some taxis for everyone. Of course, some people had their lovers pick them up but a few of them cannot even use their phone to call someone.
"Hey, was that man really your boyfriend?"
Sera flinched at the thick smell of alcohol that assaulted her senses. "Tang Zheng, the taxi is waiting for you."
"I was asking you a question."
"Of course," she stepped back, but he quickly took a step towards her, narrowing the gap between them. "If you take one more step, you will have bruises tomorrow." That was a warning. Every one of them knew that she could defend herself, so she was confident that this man would stop. Sadly for her, Tang Zheng was really drunk.
The man was broken-hearted, and he wanted her to answer his questions. "Why?" he asked. "Since we started university, I already liked you. I was waiting for us to graduate because I thought you wanted to concentrate on your studies. Do you think I am lacking?"
Sera squinted, she was already preparing herself to tackle him once he approached her. Just as she expected, Tang Zheng, really tried to touch her. He extended his hand and tried to touch her face. However, before she could block him, a huge shadow appeared. Everything happened too quick.
The next thing she knew, Tang Zheng was already on the ground, crying as he hugged his hand. Her face instantly darkened.
"Are you alright?" a warm voice reached her ears.
"I could handle him. Thank you very much. Now I will have to pay for his hospital bill and get in trouble with his parents!" She lifted her head, irritated. She had ways to subdue him without hurting him. Tang Zheng might be taller than her but he is pretty lean plus he is drunk! There is no need to twist his hands and broke a finger like that! "Huh? You — It's you?"
