historical

“Of course, you don’t,” Han Zixin scoffed. “That’s why you are still living in the stone age.”

He was not saying that she was from the stone age because she didn’t use her phone much but because of her gait or manner of speaking. It was just too dignified. Like those women in period dramas?

“What’s the stone age?” An Xiulan asked him seriously.

Han Zixin looked at her and said, “Ancient time when people used stones as weapons and tools.”

“Oh?” An Xiulan reacted. Then she seriously said even though she knew no one would take her seriously, “I’m not from the stone age. I’m from Dragon age.”

Han Zixin gave her an amused look. “Do you know what Dragon Age was famous for?”

An Xiulan shook her head._.

“You will know in history class,” said Han Zixin as he pressed his thumb on an icon. “Look here, I downloaded the app called We Chat. Now I’m going to teach you how it works. You have to grasp its basic understanding. You can use it for chatting online with your friend. Posting moments. And even for payment.”

Then he taught her how to make payments with the app. He even taught her how to post status and all the other stuff. What An Xiulan liked the most about this app wasn’t the functions that he showed her but the cute stickers

“Cheat Prince, do you have We chat?” An Xiulan asked with a bright smile.

“Why? Do you want to add me?” Han Zixin asked with a weird look.

Little did An Xiulan know Big Boss Han had never added a girl on his We Chat ever!

An Xiulan nodded. “I will add you because I want to try out something.”

Han Zixin was suspicious because nothing normal came out of her so-called experiments but he let her scan the barcode. As he added her as a friend, he was shocked by the number of stickers that the girl was sending him.

She was giggling like a kid after sending him funny but adorable stickers.

What he failed to notice was how all the stickers had the same message. Don’t be sad. Smile. Be happy. He thought she was just having fun with the app and failed to see the simple message behind her actions.

An Xiulan might be naive and way too innocent for this world but her every action had a deep meaning hidden behind it. Just like now, how she was trying to tell this boy to always be happy instead of acting as if the world owed him for everything that had caused pain to him.

The world never owes anyone anything.

What we are is because of our actions and decisions. An Xiulan could blame the world for all the misfortune that she had undergone in her past life but she knew everything she went through was somewhere and somehow because of her own actions and decisions that she had made.

Had she raised her voice against the injustice she was bearing..

Had she been a little brave..

An Xiulan looked up from het phone screen and glanced at her with a soft smile playing on her lips as she said, “Cheat prince, can you add my mom and my grandpa You, Meimei (her personal maid), Qiao Wei, Song Ci, Ye Jun, Di Mo (Demo) and..”

“An Xiulan, you wish to add everyone on your contact list?” Han Zixin said sarcastically.

Little did he know An Xiulan would nod her head like an over-excited kid.

Han Zixin didn’t know what to say at this moment.

She was..

She was just a little blockhead.

However, he still showed her how to add people and all the other features she failed to understand. The layout of the app was easy to understand and in no time, she was trying out all the different functions.

“Now will you click my picture?” An Xiulan asked him but when she saw how he was arrogantly sitting like a lord with no intention of moving it whatsoever and so she grabbed his arms and shook him with all her might, “I want to post my first picture on the app. Will you please take a picture of me?” When he didn’t react, she used the last resort,” Cheat Prince, I will buy you more than just candy.”

Now, this was something Han Zixin found a good deal.

Han Zixin didn’t realize that the tyrant of Jingyuan high school was treated as an assistant by Miss An Xiulan at this moment.

In the end, Han Zixin clicked several pictures of her because the girl was not happy with a single shot. The girl in the picture was smiling brightly at the camera. Her eyes were full of warmth and happiness. She was making two victory signs while sitting on a chair in the supermarket.

She looked adorable and fresh in her school uniform.

Han Zixin also had to help her post the picture with the caption she had chosen, ‘I smile like my beautiful beautiful mom!’

Of course, he was aware that the girl had a thick mom filter but didn’t know the extent until now.
