406 Grapes are sour
An Xiulan suprised Han Zixin by dropping him at his office and later picking him up. He did not say that she did not need to do that. Even boys wanted to experience some tender care sometimes. He was enjoying his day when it started this beautifully. His girlfriend arrived at his house with home cooked breakfast. Before breakfast, she rained kisses all over his face and then dropped him at his office but not before a deep sweet kiss.
When she came to pick him up, she brought him coffee, lots of kisses and love. He was the happiest man on the planet today.
He did not know why he was getting such a good treatment but who was he to question it? If it was upto him, he wished that he got same treatment everyday. He did not mind getting called greedy over this treatment. Who did not want love and care? Especially from the person one loved all their life?
To him getting loved by An Xiulan was the best thing that ever happened in his life.
He never expected her to love him back and it was a complete lie. He loved her a lot and he always wanted her to feel something for him in return. Now that she gave him more feelings in return than he could ever ask for, he felt like a happiest man on the planet. There was nothing that he wanted more than this.
"Did I tell you something?" Han Zixin suddenly said.
An Xiulan turned to look at him and asked, "What?"
Han Zixin's lips curled to form a smile as he said, "I love you."
An Xiulan smiled when she heard it. She turned to hug him but then she realised that she could not do it as she was driving the car. She pouted and seeing this he laughed. He leaned in to kiss her cheek and said, "My baby is so cute."
"Zixin!"
"Yes, baby?" He said with a smile.
"Don't do it, "An Xiulan mumbled.
"Do what?" Han Zixin asked.
"This cute behaviour, "An Xiulan pouted. "You know I can't do anything like this."
Han Zixin laughed and asked in a teasing tone, "What do you want to do, baby?"
An Xiulan had an urge to bite his lips. How could he tease her like that? All she wanted was to do was pounce on him and do some real damage.
"I will kill you, "An Xiulan mumbled. Oh my god, what's wrong with her? How could she say this just because she did not get to kiss her guy? Something was certainly wrong with her. She had to stop acting like this. But she really wanted to kiss him.
"We are stopping the car, "An Xiulan said suddenly, pulling brakes on the empty road.
"And why is that?" Han Zixin asked, raising his brow.
An Xiulan removed her seatbelt and turned to look at him. "Because of you!"
"What did I do?" He asked innocenty.
"You made me addicted to your kisses and now you are teasing me, "An Xiulan said. Once she was free from the clutches of the stupid seat belt, she faced him and leaned to reach him. Finally, she could touch him. She hugged him and placed her head on his chest. Han Zixin moved and pushed hed to his side to made her sit on his lap.
"This is a more comfortable position, "He said.
An Xiulan hummed.
"Zixin?" She suddenly called his name.
"Hmm?" He responsed.
"Are we getting too attached to each other?" An Xiulan asked. It scared her sometimes that she was getting too much attached to him recently. She wanted him all around her all the time. There was never a moment when she was not missing him or his touch. This made her frustrated most of the day as she missed him a lot but due to their busy lifestyles they could not see each other more often.
"I don't see a problem with getting attached with each other, "Han Zixin said. "Who would we be attached to if not with each other? Isn't this the whole point of the relationship?"
"Is it?" She asked for reassurance.
He nodded his head. "Are you scared?"
" A little, "An Xiulan confessed.
Han Zixin whispered, "I am too."
Although he was having the best time of his life with her, there was time when he would be scared. Whenever someone have something very beautiful there would be fear. She was the most beautiful part of his life and he was scared that she might be taken away from her. He did not want this to happen to him. He always wanted to be with her. For this he was ready to do anything. He loved her beyond words and reasons. He knew that he would die if something happened to her. As long as both of them were alive, they knew they loved each other way too much.
An Xiulan asked, "What will we do?"
Like him, she had the same fears. What would they do if the things did not turn the way they expected them to turn? This fear was always be here and she had to learn how to navigate with this fear around them because she knew that it would not go away easily.
"We will figure it out, "Han Zixin said suddenly. Even if they fail to figure it out, they would learn to figure it out. They would learn and learn and learn until they make them possible. Not everyone was lucky enough to get the person they loved this early in their life. She was his soulmate and what would he do without his soulmate? He would learn everything about making a relationship work. He could not lose her.
"What if we fail to?" An Xiulan asked him.
Han Zixin answered, "Then, we will go to our families and ask them to help us."
An Xiulan nodded her head. Their families would help them where they would not be able to know what they should do.
"Now don't be scared, "He told her.
An Xiulan said, "For that you have to kiss me."
"Yes, ma'am, "He said and their lips met.
After kissing for a few minutes, they drove to thekr destination.
"By the way, you did not ask why I came again, "An Xiulan smiled at him.
Han Zixin leaned to kiss her swollen lips and said, "Why should I? I just like you with me. What will I get after asking so many questions."
"This is also right, "An Xiulan nodded her head. "But I will still tell you. Today, mom scolded me saying that I make you drop me daily to my office and my office is not even on the same route."
"I don't mind doing it, "Han Zixin quickly said.
"I know, "An Xiulan answered him. "But she is right too. So, I decided that I will drop you daily and you will pick me. What do you say?"
Han Zixin agreed. It was a good idea. He leaned in and kissed her lips again, "Why are you so sweet, baby?"
An Xiulan giggled. "Because I am yours?"
Han Zixin laughed. "Yes. Yes. That you are."
After a while, he said, "Say it again."
"What?" She asked him.
"That you are mine, "He said.
An Xiulan giggled, "I am yours."
"Once more."
"I am yours."
"Isn't it cringey?" An Xiulan asked him.
Han Zixin shook his head. "No, it is sweet."
"Then, you may get diabetes, "She said.
"As long as you are my medicine and cure, I don't mind it, "Han Zixin gave equally cringey answer.
"Eww, "She made a face at his dialogue. "Zixin, do you remember how we used to make fun of the couples who used to talk like this?"
Han Zixin nodded his head. He used to think how dirty it was to talk this badly but now they were talking like this and he was not even feeling about about it. Instead, he was quite liking it.
"Now we are talking like them, "An Xiulan said shaking her head. "This made me realise that the grapes were sour."
"Ah?" He didn't understand her meaning.
"We used to say that because we weren't in relationship. We didn't know sweet these cringey and cliche things could be, "An Xiulan said."This is a lesson for us that we should not judge couples when they talk like this. And talking sweetly and silly to your partner is not wrong."
"Whatever you say, baby, "Han Zixin smiled.
"Ahh! I am a goner, "An Xiulan cried. "Xueyun will make fun of us if she sees us like this!"
"Grapes are sour if they made fun of us, "Han Zixin retorted.
"Why are you so lovable, Zixin? I want to bite you!" An Xiulan said and he laughed at her reaction.
