Chapter 4 Four
- The teacher later came in and informed the class "The groups should start working on their projects, you guys only have two weeks for it."
- After school, all of their group members gathered at one corner, discussing their group project.
- One of them named Zhan Shi stood up and winked at Billy, "I think we should pair together, the rest of them will only be a drag." she pointed to the rest as if she is irritated by their presence.
- The rest of the group were not surprised because she is always like that.
- The leader Wu Yi look at her furiously and he said "We will have to pair in twos to make the work easier but you are not the one to choose the person you are going to pair with."
- Hearing what Wu Yi said, Zhan Shi’s face turned sad "why can't we choose? If I don't pair with Billy, I will not pair with anyone" she said angrily and moved closer to Billy. She touched him softly and asked "Billy, will you pair with me?"
- The other students kept quiet waiting for Bill’s answer. Billy slowly removed Zhan Shi's hand from himself. "I can't pair with you but I will like to pair with Xiao Xie" he instantly said and moved to Xiao Xie and suddenly hugged Xiao Xie's neck playfully while smiling.
- Xiao Xie was not really listening to the discussion.Realizing Billy’s sudden hug, she looked shocked and pushed him away fiercely.
- Billy looked at Xiao Xie's reaction smiling because he deliberately wanted to tease her.
- Before Xiao Xie could talk and reject, Wu Yi, the group leader, said "Since Billy wants to pair with Xiao Xie, Zhan Shi you should pair with someone else."
- "I don't want to pair with anyone except Billy" Zhan Shi refused, staring at Xiao furiously, but she couldn’t change anything.
- After the meeting, when Xiao Xie was going home, Billy run after her and called her, but she did not answer him as if she could not hear him calling.
- Billy run to her side and speak directly to her ear "Xie" he call her again.
- "what are you doing?" Xiao Xie shout at him angrily holding her ear.
- Billy looked to her scared face smiling "I was calling you but you seems not to hear me, since you did not hear me calling you, I decided to speak closer to your ear" he grinned like a child.
- Xiao Xie stared at him not knowing what to do about him "what do you want this time?"
- Xiao Xie did not want to have anything to do with him, but since he kept bothering. She decided to ask.
- "Your number" Billy replied instantly shaking his phone in front of her.
- Xiao Xie is surprised because of Billy’s request. "why should I give you my number?" She asked.
- Billy smile softly "Don’t you forget we are partners now and I’ll need to call you."
- Xiao Xie blinked her eyes, staring at Billy's handsome face. Though he is troublesome, but he seems like a good person. Xiao Xie sighed, then snatched Billy's phone and typed her number on his phone.
- She shoved the phone back to him and left him.
- "Wait for my calls" Billy shouted after her and save her number with "my tease" he smiled happily because he could now get her number
- Ray drove and parked the car beside Billy. "Young master, your grandfather wants you and him to have dinner with the CEO of GB this evening" Ray said to Billy the moment he entered the car.
- Billy looked depressive instantly "again!” He exclaim frustrated, "I don't know why grandfather wants me to get closer to that old man, last time the old man was just talking about his granddaughter, I don't feel happy." Billy said and looked away angrily.
- ***
- That evening, Billy and his grandfather meet with CEO of GB--CEO Xu, who is accompanied by his granddaughter Xu Shan.
- When Billy and his grandfather came into the restaurant, CEO Xu smiled "San, come and sit beside Xu Shan" CEO Xu said, pointing to the seat beside his granddaughter.
- Billy could not reject, so he sluggishly sit beside Xu Shan. Xu Shan immediately smiled and greeted Billy, "Tiau San, I don't know that I will see you so soon.When I heard that you went abroad, I cried for weeks. I told my grandfather that I wanted to follow you but he didn’t allow me."
- Billy stared at her as if he just see an idiot but did not answer her.
- When Billy was still in China at age four, Xu Shan always came to Billy's house to play with him. She had a crush on him since childhood and after Billy went abroad she held him in her heart.
- "Xu Shan is just been childish then." CEO Xu said laughing. "Old Xu, let's eat before the food gets cold" Billy's grandfather said and they started eating. But CEO Xu continued to talk "your grandson is so filial, within one month he surprise everyone with his success."
- "He is my grandson, how will he not be capable" Billy's grandfather replied smiling as he look at Billy with pride.
- "He’s capable and he’s also handsome" Xu Shan added, glancing at Billy. The old men laughed heartily.
- Billy did not say anything and continued eating.
- "San, why don't you attend Tiaz groups of school?" Xu Shan asked with sad a face, "I thought you will come to our school."
- Billy's grandfather cleared his throat and answered "Xu Shan, my grandson wants to be comfortable studying while working without been disturbed."
- "He will also be comfortable in our school, I will personally make him feel comfortable." Xu Shan said placing her hand on her chest as if pledging.
- "That's okay, let forget about that and eat," Xu Shan's grandfather said as they continue eating
- After the dinner with CEO Xu and his granddaughter, Billy looked tired when they got back home because he could not be himself at the dinner, he was just eating since he did not want to say anything there by forcing himself to smile when he didn’t want to smile.
- His cheek seems to be paining him from smiling forcefully, he lay down on the bed and search for Xiao Xie's number on his phone, he wants to call but looking at the time he did not want to disturb her since it was already late in the night so he sent her a text "Hi, I want to call you but is already late, see you tomorrow ♥️♥️♥️" he send the text to Xiao Xie and he smile then sleep
- The next day at Xiao Xie's house, she wake up to see a message on her phone, she check the text but since she don't know the number she just stare at the message but she soon remember that she gave her number to Billy yesterday, so she hissed and delete the text
- When they gets to school that morning Billy smile thinking of the text he sent so ask Xiao Xie the moment he sees her "did you see my text?" Xiao Xie look at him with anger because it seems Billy will start to disturb him again "i didn't think so" Xiao Xie replies not looking at Billy, Billy is surprise since he sent her a text "I sent you a text at night yesterday, how come you don't see it?" Billy ask, Xiao Xie look at him as if she is looking at a fool "I told you I don't see it" she replied nonchalantly, Billy seems to understand what Xiao Xie meant "let me have your phone and I will check" he stretch his hand to collect Xiao Xie's phone from her "why will you check my phone? this is my property" Xiao Xie said angrily but Billy suddenly stand up and lean towards Xiao Xie to collect her phone, Xiao Xie is shocked to see Billy leaning towards her so she move back and quickly raise the phone up but Billy further stretch his hands to take the phone by force which makes him lean more towards Xiao Xie and their bodies were almost touching, seeing this Xiao Xie feels butterflies inside her and her face gets heat, she look nervous, when Billy see that Xiao Xie look nervous because of him for the first time he smile inwardly and continue to maintain the position so to tease her more as they both stare into each other's eyes for some time like they seems lost until one of the guys in the class exclaim "whoa! What are you guys doing?" The boys laughed, Xiao Xie jilter immediately realizing she has been staring into Billy's eyes, she feel embarrassed and she push Billy away then run out of the class hastily.
