An Qinyan was in a meeting when her phone dinged. When she saw that her daughter had sent her a request on We Chat, she immediately picked up the phone to accept it. Her daughter was using her own name as a username. She accepted the request and when she saw that she had posted something, her lips hooked up and her eyes formed into crescents.

She didn’t need to try harder to be happy when something was related to An Xiulan. Her daughter’s antics always end up putting a smile on her face.

Gu Yanzi, who was sitting next to her in the meeting room,  scooted over to see who was making his Qinyan smile in the middle of a board meeting. When he leaned over, he saw a beautiful and adorable girl smiling at him through the screen.

He smiled instinctively when he glimpsed the caption. Yes, An Qinyan and An Xiulan shared the same smile. Although they didn’t look very alike, they still share similar features.

An Xiulan looked more like her birth father than her mother while Lu Xuan looked like An Qinyan._.

An Qinyan quickly saved the picture and replied to the post with a  ‘take care of yourself’.

Currently, An Xiulan and Han Zixin were engaged in a heated argument over the flavour of candies. This was nothing new for them but it was certainly for the shop manager. The poor shop manager was scared of speaking between the two of them and so she decided to let them fight and waited for them to decide.

As they were involved in an argument, a student in a similar uniform entered the supermarket. Han Nanxian saw Han Zixin and that adorable fella engaged in a heated argument. Even after getting mocked by her once, he was still thinking of her as an adorable fella. In his opinion, she was just like a cat; sometimes adorable and other times feral.  When he saw the concerned shop manager, he said,  “Miss, one hot cup of noodles. “

After he ordered and made the payment, he sat on the same seat where An Xiulan and Han Zixin were sitting earlier and with a great interest he was watching them argue. He had a huge smile on his face while he was watching the show unfolding before his eyes.

How cute!

“Han Zixin! I’m telling you I’m not trying grape flavoured candies!” This was An Xiulan barely able to control her anger. How bad his taste could be that he was forcing her to buy grape flavour candies?!

She would raise voice against the injustice this tyrant was inflicting on her!

No to grape flavoured candy!

“An Xiulan! I will not eat anything chocolate!”

They stared at each other, their hands on their waist. None of them was willing to back off.

“But I want to eat chocolate flavoured candies, ” An Xiulan said with puppy eyes. Of course, she knew she had to persuade him in any way. In a coy voice, she said,  “I have never eaten these chocolate candies. I want to try this out.”

“Fine, we will buy candies of your choice,” Han Zixin grumbled. He fell for those big innocent eyes again. Lord! ” But drinks and snacks will be of my choice.”

An Xiulan wasn’t hard to coax in the first place and so she agreed with his suggestion. She tore the candy packet without paying for it first and unwrapped a candy to try it out.

When she found that it tasted pretty good, she unwrapped another candy and pinched Han Zixin’s hand and when he opened his mouth to shout at her, she tossed a chocolate ball in his mouth and waited for him to taste it.

“That’s good, ” Han Zixin said while snatching another candy from the packet. ‘Little Blockhead has good taste when it comes to desserts. Of course, he will not say it out loud. Or who will tolerate her smug face all the time!’

“I told you this was good. But all you wanted was that stupid grape candies,” An Xiulan said gibberish while the candy was still in her mouth.

Now this comment of An Xiulan gave rise to another five minute argument between the two of them.

At this stage, these two teenagers had learned the subtle art of getting on each other’s nerves.

Behind them, Han Nanxian was having a hard time controlling his laughter. Oh god. How come he never knew the temper of big Boss Han could be tamed with silliness?

If he had known this earlier wouldn’t he have tried being a silly one too?

Little did he know he would still get beaten by a certain school tyrant for daring to copy his deskmate!

He captured a short video of them arguing while they were not noticing and sent it to a certain someone who replied immediately with sticker question marks.

And this was how Han Nanxian realized that he had dug his own grave.
