13 Chapter 13- My Lemon Tea (1/2)

After breakfast, Ya Nuo, Qi Yang, and Huan Hei took a walk in the garden.

”Such a beautiful day!” Ya Nuo smiled while gently swinging her and Huan Hei's intertwined hands as they walked.

”It sure is.” Qi Yang replied.

”Hmm.. but something feels off today...” Ya Nuo rubbed her chin as she thought about what was forgotten.

”Ahhh!!!! today is Monday!!!! We are supposed to be at school not walking around like this!!” she face-palmed using her left arm.

After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yang and Huan Hei started laughing.

”Huh? Why are the two of you so calm?!! Isn't today the mock exam??”

Huan Hei poked Ya Nuo's forehead using the index finger from his right hand. ”Have you slept for too long? Yesterday was Saturday. Today is Sunday. You didn't skip a day did you?”

She stared into space for a few seconds before rubbing her forehead, ”Qi Yang, he's teasing me again!”

Qi Yang laughed, ”Alright, alright. Huan Hei, you're in the wrong. You're not supposed to tell her that today is Sunday. You should've waited until she got ready and then tell her that she is wrong.”

Ya Nuo immediately noticed the way he addressed her and changed to her male voice, ”Qi Yang, I'm a guy! Not a girl! Sheesh, just because I am wearing a dress and holding Huan Hei's hands doesn't make me a girl!”

Huan Hei remained silent as he observed Qi Yang's reaction because he found Qi Yang's behavior a bit unusual. 'I've noticed this since the morning. Qi Yang usually hugs and rubs Ya Nuo's head. Today, he rubbed her head softly and didn't even tell any of his jokes. It couldn't be that he also knows..'

”Haha! When did you ever take my jokes this far? Little Nuo, I was only kidding just now. Honestly, though, you broke a lot of youngsters hearts today. You are too cute in that dress~”

Ya Nuo blushed and coughed, ”Good thing you still remember that I am a male! And a very handsome one too! Huan Hei was the one getting all the guys and girls okay? He is the lamb in every girls' eyes out there.”

”Oh? Then what about you? Is Hei a lamb in your eyes too?” Qi Yang playfully teased.

Huan Hei's heart raced after hearing Qi Yang's question to her. She was silent for two minutes and then smiled sweetly, ”Of course not.”

Huan Hei felt like somebody squeezed his heart very tightly. Just when he wanted to break the awkwardness, she continued, ”He's not my meat. He's my irresistible temptation. My lemon tea.” The wind blew on her smooth black hair gently as her smiling eyes concentrated on Huan Hei. Her cherry lips and light peachy cheeks made her look extra attractive.

Huan Hei felt like his heart stopped for a moment when he heard her soft voice whisper such lovely words into his ears. He didn't realize that he was leaning closer to her face. When he got so close that his nose touched hers, she whispered, ”Hei, what do you think you're doing?”

Qi Yang cleared his throat, ”I didn't sign up for this! you two separate! Separate! Huan Hei, go do 250 squats, pushups, sit-ups, and then 3 hours of basic moves practice. Go go go! You need the mantra to calm the perverted monster inside of you!”

Ya Nuo yawned, ”I still have assignments that I have to complete. Hei, lend me your notes a bit. If I don't do them, I'll get punished when we go to school tomorrow!”

”Huh? Huh?? Uh, yeah sure, I'll go get you my bag and I'll do the practice after that.” When Huan Hei said the last few words, he narrowed his eyes and gave Qi Yang a meaningful look.

Qi Yang waved a silent goodbye to him and Ya Nuo from behind that only Huan Hei could see. He mouthed, 'Come see me in my room later'

Huan Hei nodded slightly as Ya Nuo dragged him back to the guest rooms.

After handing her the notes and homework, he exited the room to look for Qi Yang.

”Yo! Little Hei, looking for me?” Qi Yang said as he sipped the cup of tea in his hands.

”Wah! Q...Qi Yang, it seems like you are the one who is looking for me instead.”

”Oh? but weren't you about to go to my room?”

”Fine, fine. I'm looking for you.” he looked straight into his eyes.

”Let's talk in my room.”

”uh... then what was the point of you waiting for me outside your room?”

”Just in case you get lost.”
