503 Xiao Bobo (1/2)
While Han Bohai made his way inside the hotel and towards his room, he was still lost in his thoughts. For some reason, Ying's parting words were ringing in his mind and it was making the deeply buried sorrow start a riot within him. It wasn't easy to keep his face calm right now.
Even when he entered his room, he couldn't shake off the melancholy that had suddenly engulfed him. It was like someone suddenly jabbed at the wound that had barely scabbed after years.
He fell back on his bed without changing his clothes. Just as he came from outside, he fell back on his bed staring blankly at the ceiling.
”Just like a star...” he whispered to himself as he closed his eyes letting a distant memory replay in his mind bringing a sweet smile to linger on his face...
*Flashback*
”Xiao Han!”
Hearing that soft but sweet voice, he pretended to ignore it.
”Oi, little brother!”
He still refused to look at her as he kept going through the contract that she is supposed to sign but he is given the task of reading through it thoroughly since she was too 'lazy' for that.
”Han Bohai!”
Her voice texture was changing but he knew she wasn't mad at her. In fact, it was impossible for her to be mad at him or anyone for that matter. He just couldn't believe that the person who claimed to be too 'lazy' was actually dancing gracefully to the beautiful melody of zither and flute.
If she was tired, wasn't she supposed to rest? What was up with this sudden dance practice in the middle of the night? And why was he dragged into this?
”Xiao Bobo! Aren't you like a big celebrity throwing your weight around?!”
He finally took a deep breath and looked up at her, ”Sister Xiu, I told you not to call me Xiao Bobo. I don't like that nickname.” He took a brief pause to add, ”And I've said it a thousand times, stop saying that I'm like a celebrity. I don't have any desire to be a star.”
Chen Xiu who had been cheerfully dancing stopped to look at him. ”But I love that nickname. As long as I'm here, I'll call you Xiao Bobo whenever I feel like it. You can't stop me.” Seeing how she crossed her arms over her chest, he furrowed his brows while she went on, ”As for being a star... You never wanted to be a star's assistant as well. But see, here you are after four years still sticking to me like glue.”
