When people go anonymous to criticize my story or my characters all I can do is laugh 😂 you're being a huge coward because deep inside you know you're only talking shit and you don't want people to come at you, so you hide behind anonymity 🤣 You're the lame one here, buddy.

Their happiness was almost palpable at that time. Neither Zixin nor Alexandra noticed that such joy could bring equal discomfort to two people who had been looking for them and ended up seeing the whole thing.

A: Oh, Zixin, I can't believe it!! I don't even know how to thank you! Of course I'll go with you! It's going to be so much fun! Z: Hahaha, calm down, you're gonna make me fall like that, Lexi!

Z: I heard about the preview of that movie you wanted to see, "Voicemails for Bella". A: Yes!! Oh, I can't wait to see it! I'm sad they were already sold out, I couldn't get a ticket in time.

During recess, Alexandra was chatting with her usual group when Zixin approached the girls. Z: Hey, Lexi. Can I talk to you for a second? A: Sure, Zixin! I'll be right back, girls.

During his class, Zimo got a notification on his phone about the preview of a movie he knew Alexandra was excited about. When he tried to buy the tickets, he saw they were already sold out, but he still thought about asking Alexandra to watch it together another day.

Zixin lay down and quickly fell asleep, but Zimo remained awake a little longer, thinking. He felt sick of the stomach, his chest was in pain, and it was like something was stuck in his throat. The answer he gave his brother hadn't been entirely honest and now he regretted it.

BildBild

Zix: Yeah, but like... do you 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 like her? Like as a girlfriend. Zimo felt his face getting hot immediately. Zim: What? Hahaha, Zixin, what are you talking about? Of course not!

After talking to his father, Zimo went to the shower to get ready to sleep. When he came back to the room, his brother was still awake, waiting for him. Zix: Hey, bro, can we talk? Zim: Sure.

BildBildBild

V: So be this person and kill two birds with one stone. Before someone else wins her heart and our family loses a valuable aliance. Those words got tattoed in Zixin's brain. So a wedding with Alexandra was that important for his family...

BildBild

Zimo felt his voice getting stuck in his throat when Alexandra was mentioned. Z: Father, we're friends... and Lexi is still too young to think about getting married. Besides, she deserves to marry someone she really loves, not just an arranged marriage.

Z: Dad, things are different here. I don't think it'd be good to start a relationship so abruptly. V: But I'm talking about someone you already have a relationship with. Sebastian's eldest daughter. She'd be a good partner and the union with the Vretos family would be great for the Fengs.

After getting ready for bed, Victor stopped at his sons' bedroom to talk to his eldest. V: Zimo, you'll be soon finishing High School. You're almost an adult. It's time to start looking for the partner who's right for you. I was already engaged to your mom when I was your age.

Night at the Fengs came with a delicious dinner made by the family's personal chef. The radio was playing some classical song in the background, while parents and children wouldn't say a word to each other. All meals they'd do together would usually be like that. The only warm thing was the food.

The two walked side by side to the café with Bear trotting happily in front of them. While hanging out with Erica, Zixin could forget about his familiar frustrations, at least for a moment. And Erica wouldn't stop smiling as she spent time with the boy she secretly had a crush on since childhood.

Bild

Z: And who said you'll need it? I'm paying. As a thank you for today's talk. Shall we? E: Well, okay then! Erica tried to keep calm, but on the inside she couldn't be happier about this invitation.

BildBild

E: O-Of course I did. We're friends, aren't we? And... I like you a lot. I think you're truly awesome. You're not less than your brother in anything, Zixin, don't ever let others make you think you are.
