They reached the theatre and took their seats. Xian looked at Mishi who sat beside her but then Yin told Mishi if she wanna swap seats with her and Mishi agreed with her.

The movie get started. Xian was feeling bore so he texted Mark.

Mark looked at him while Xian gestured him to see.

"Why is Yin behaving this way?", asked Xian.

Mark thought to lie and typed, "what are you talking about?"

"It's feel like she's not liking Mishi's presence with me".

"Bro it's nothing like that. Yin wants to be her good friend".

"Mark you know that she used to love me. I don't know whether she gives up on me or....."

"Hey you are married. Why would she do this? She's in the US since long....I don't think she loves you anymore".

"Okay. That's good then....btw I'm not liking this movie a bit".

"You wanted to watch it. Look at Mishi I think she loves this hero", typed Mark.

Xian looked at her and typed, "every girl falls for main character of the movie".

"Haha it seems like you especially wants to see this movie with her", typed Mark.

They chatted in the whole movie and when it got over left for their homes.

"Finally home...", mumbled Xian and laid down on his cushioned bed.

"Xian did you enjoy the movie?", asked Mishi.

"I don't like romantic movies. I saw you once, you were drooling over that actor when he was kissing the female lead", said Xian.

"How can you say that? I didn't drool....I'm not a pervert like you", snapped Mishi and closed the cupboard.

Xian got up from the bed and held her waist standing behind her. "You're saying I'm a pervert?? You know I'm more romantic than that movie guy", whispered Xian in her ear.

"Leave me. Why are you telling me this??", asked Mishi.

Xian put his chin over her shoulder and said, "because you don't know anything about romance and hearing the dialogues of that movie I can tell you want me badly".

Mishi slightly turned her face to look at him and then lightly hit at his stomach. Xian released his grip from her and said, "You love to hit me here".

"No. But you were talking non sense....I'm going to my room for rest", said Mishi and turned when Xian pulled her and said, "Why would you go to separate room when our room is here...."

"Because I like to sleep alone...no one should be around me", said Mishi.

"Don't lie Mishi....look you're sweating over the forehead. Since I'm a pervert acc. to you so let me tell you what a pervert do", said Xian and smiled at her.

Mishi blinked her eyes when Xian got closer to her lips and was going to kiss them when Mishi pushed him and ran away from there. Xian got surprised with her move and smiled while Mishi closed the room and thought that he was teasing her again.

She laid down on the bed there and started thinking about the trip with Xian.

"Does he like me? He even kissed me two times but then he was saying that he was teasing me. If he kept on teasing me then I might lose to him....."

She opened her phone and thought to call Chang and talk with them for a while. But he didn't pick up her call. She brought her legs closer and kept her chin on one of her knees. "Xian has done a lot for me despite I did bad to him. I should make something good for him tonight", mumbled Mishi and looked at the time. It was 6p.m.

She got up from the bed and went outside of the room to the kitchen.

"You should go now....thanks for dropping me", said Yin and opened her apartment gate when Mark said, "Yin let's talk". Yin looked at him and after a pause said, "Okay. Come inside" and opened the gate.

"Sit here.....I'm coming in 5 minutes. If you need to drink something you can take that from the fridge", said Yin and went towards her room. Mark sat on the couch in the living room. Yin came after 5 minutes there and asked, "do you want to drink something?"

"No. Thanks", said Mark.

"What do you want to talk about?", asked Yin.

"Xian was asking me if you were coming between him and Mishi", said Mark and looked at her.

"What did you tell?", asked Yin.

"I lied to him. He said he is suspicious whether you've actually given up on him or not", said Mark.

"You should've told him the truth", said Yin and looked at him.

"Yin... Why are you doing this? You know very well that you will get hurt by doing this. Xian will never going to accept you", said Mark.

"Mark if you think that much about me then you should've stopped this marriage. Why did you help him?", asked Yin and looked at him with teary eyes.

"He's my brother. What do you expect from me? I can't see you hurt neither I can't see hurt him. You both are precious to me....."

Yin turned her face and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Mark what should I do acc to you?", asked Yin.

"Let him live his life. Same goes for you don't hurt yourself", said Mark and got up from the couch.

"I should go now...take care".

"Mark", said Yin and looked at him. "Mark I can't do that. When you told me that he's married I left my everything there for him. He's with Mishi because he hates her don't you know", said Yin.

"Yin he used to hate her that time. Now everything is changed. If you will do anything then it might endangers our friendship. You know him very well more than me that he's happy with Mishi...more than happy. I know it's hard but you are his friend so look for his happiness. We might be with him but the one who sees as his world ain't you but Mishi. Accept it if you can else I have to stop you from doing anything ridiculous", said Mark.

Yin looked at him and said, "you're doing this so that I can be with you right??"

"Yin..", said Mark in disbelief. "Yin I told you already that before my likeness Xian's happiness comes first so if he had liked you a bit I would be the one who married off you two. Let's stop now.....take some rest. I'm going home.....bye", saying this Mark walked away.

Tears fell from Yin's eyes.

"Mishi did you prepare the dinner?", asked Xian and came inside the kitchen.

"I was preparing something new today but it got ruined so it will take some time. Sorry it's already 8 pm and you must be feeling hungry just wait for few more minutes.....", said Mishi. The flour was on her face as she was putting away her hair strands from the face.

Xian looked at her and then went towards here. Mishi was busy in preparing broth for the hotpot dish when Xian put her hair away from her face. His touch made Mishi stumbled and she immediately stepped back.

"What happened?", asked Mishi with a big spoon in her hand.

"Your face has flour....so I was wiping it away", said Xian.

Mishi touched her face and wiped it but her hands already has flour so her face got more messy.

"Mishi let me", said Xian and stepped closer to her. He wiped her face gently and put her hair strands away. His fingers unknowingly touched her lips and they both looked at each other. The tension between them rose as Xian start getting close to her. He get closed to her lips and was going to kiss her when the rice cooker beeped. Both realized the situation and stepped back.

Mishi ran towards the other end of kitchen and turned off the rice cooker. "Xian please put the plates and bowl on the table...", said Mishi. Xian nodded and helped her.

They did their dinner in utter silence and after that rested to their rooms.

"Why did I do that? I hate her but I think my feelings are.... No no..I can't.....we are meant to hate each other's", mumbled Xian and laid down on the bed.

While Mishi in the other room was thinking, "What was he thinking? Does he really love me? But he was clear earlier that he won't fall in love with me because he hates me....for ruining his life. I should remove this hatred from his heart for me....I want him to be happy because his happines makes me happy". Mishi laid down on the bed thinking about all these things and after a few minutes she fell into deep sleep.
