Chapter 250 Xin Hans Family (2/2)

He stopped shaking Kyle when he felt Kyle's hands on his, then he looked straight into Kyle's eyes. The dopey look that Kyle had with the sleep still heavy in them made Xing Han want to pinch his cheeks. Kyle rarely looked so vulnerable.

”What's wrong?” Kyle asked sleepily.

At that question, Xing Han wailed. Only Kyle understood him! Just from him shaking Kyle awake, Kyle knew that there was something wrong. Xing Han had to save his innocent brother from the evil hands of that so-called person.

”Nothing! Nothing! I just miss my family so much! I can't wait for you to meet them!” Xing Han said, lying smoothly.

Kyle rubbed his eyes sleepily and yawned, ”Fine, fine. I'm getting up, I'm getting up. See?”

Xing Han nodded vigorously, then gave Kyle one big hug, ”You're my bestest best friend, right? Right?”

Kyle patted Xing Han indulgently on the back and then pushed him aside, ”Of course. Now git.”

Xing Han didn't think any inappropriate happened between Nitocris and Kyle last night, but he was sure that Nitcoris was the reason for Kyle being so tired. For that, he hated Nitocris even more.

”When is his flight again?” asked Zhènlín, Xing Han's father.

Puay Kiow, Xing Han's mother, replied, ”It's arriving at 2pm.”

Zhènlín nodded in acknowledgement.

”Is Kyle really coming as well?” asked Karen (Tan Kai Ling), Xing Han's eldest sister. She, like the rest of her sister, preferred to use their English names. Only Xing Han was not allowed to have an English name since he was the heir.

”Yes,” answered Puay Kiow.

”He's hot,” said Jessica (Tan Yi-Lyn), Xing Han's second elder sister, ”If he wasn't younger than me, I'd certainly try my hand.”

”It's a good thing I'm the youngest then,” piped up Rose (Tan Hing Huen) with a smile as she flipped through Kyle's IG and pouted, ”His IG hasn't been updated lately. I wonder what sort of thing he's been up to this year.”

”Kai Ling, Yi-Lyn and Hing Huen!”

Their father's voice boomed loudly at the dining table, ”At the dinner table, we eat. Put away your phone now, Hing Huen!!”

Rose quickly put down her phone, face chastised.

The three had them been excited to learn that Xing Han's best friend was finally coming to their house. Ever since primary school, all it had been was 'Kyle this, Kyle that' and it drove them bonkers.

After listening to Xing Han boast about Kyle so much, that they tuned him out everytime he started babbling about Kyle. The moment they knew he was the Smith Heir, they shrugged it off. Another typical rich kid, spoilt rotten or something.

They never had the inclination to dig up about Kyle, or google him up, so none of them had ever known how Kyle looked like. All the boasting Xing Han had done, was put down to his 'overly exaggerated rendition' of Kyle.

They never took it seriously.

That is, until the IG came out.

It was purely out of luck that they found out about it, and it was all thanks to Rose.

Or rather, her classmates.

✿ Mini Flashback ✿

It was a day like any other day.

Everyone got up, had breakfast, went to school.

However, when Rose entered her classroom, it was obviously NOT a normal day. They were buzzing like flies, with the occasional squeals and gasps and all the normal sounds made when they gathered in a group to admire someone.

Rose placed her bag on her table and noted that the girls were doing most of the squealing while the guys were either scoffing at what they were looking at, or appeared thoughtful (or perhaps, envious?).

Obviously, a new celebrity came out. That was what Rose thought.

”Hey, what's going on?” Rose asked the closest girl.

”You mean you don't know??” her classmate asked.

Rose resisted an eye roll as she answered patiently, ”No.”

Well, like D-uh. If she knew, why would she ask?

With a grin, the girl did something on her phone while saying, ”Wait a minute. Okay. Here.”

Rose took the phone and looked at it, instantly transfixed.

A death-defyingly gorgeous black-and-white picture of a guy teasingly showing off that drool-worthy body?!

Rose's eyes darted over the phone, trying to see the name of the person, while asking, ”Just who is this?!”

The girl said smugly, ”Kyle Smith.”

Rose nearly dropped the phone.

No. Freaking. Way.

It couldn't be the same Kyle Smith, could it? Xing Han's best friend? The one that Xing Han stuck to like glue?

Rose looked at the picture again.

Damn. It was great being a Tan.
