63 Because I Know Who Is She

In a blink of eyes, its already summer festival.

Both of Xue Mei and Ren Zhi were busy setting up their booth for the presentation. This time they need help from Xui Li and Risa too, to set up the booth.

After done, she and Ren Zhi return back to their dorm to change their attire, while Risa and Xui Li wait at the booth.

"Xui Li-senpai.." Risa start.

"Hm?" He turns to look at Risa with a smile on his face.

"Sorry I'm asking you this sudden question, but actually I want to ask you since the beginning though." Risa put her word carefully.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Did you..perhaps..likes Xue Mei?" She asks straight away.

Flinch a bit, he turns silent before he answers her. "Yeah. I don't just like her. I love her, so why did you ask, anyway?" He also with bold, telling Risa about how he feels toward Xue Mei.

"I knew it! But, Xui Li-senpai, why did you never say to her?" She feels a bit overjoyed. Her eyes didn't lie when she saw how protective he is towards Xue Mei and how his gaze was so soft every time he looks at her.

"And do what? She loves Ren, so there's nothing I can do anymore."

Risa didn't feel that way. Indeed, Xue Mei said she loves Ren, but from her eyes, she also may be or slightly have a feeling to Xui Li too. But because of her obsession toward Ren Zhi is bigger than iceberg, she couldn't see her own feelings.

"Erm.. sorry, I shouldn't interfere with your feelings. It must be hard to see someone you love, in love with another person. Right? I know how it feels." She said with a bit slow voice.

"But, as long she is happy. I'll be happy too. I can keep protect and watch her from the side."

"Hm, if I were you...I will definitely snatch her away."

"Ah~ I've been thinking about that too. Let's says...I was waiting for the right time to do so.." He chuckles.

'Well, if he ever betrays you I will surely snatch you from him. With no doubt.'

"I guess, it won't be long.." Risa reply to him.

'Well, you'll have her if she realizes her feeling later.'

"What that won't be long?" Xue Mei asks Risa. She just arrives at the booth and only heard the last part of their conversation.

"Nothing. Ah, lucky you both arrive. I need to go to my practice now." She stands up and brushes off her dress.

"Eh, aren't you staying until our exhibition over?" Xue Mei pouted a bit.

"I want to..but if I stick here, then how am I able to get ready for my performance? Don't worry, I'll pray that you would win this time." She assured her.

"Hm..' kay. Do your best, Risa!" She gives him a bit of courage.

"Mm! Ganbatte!" She said and leave them.

"Okay, I also need to go." Xui Li also stand up and took his violin bag with him.

"You too?" Ren Zhi ask.

"Yeah." He pats on Ren Zhi's shoulder and wishes him luck before he caresses Xue Mei's cheek.

"Do your best." He said with a gentle tone. And that makes Ren Zhi immediately pull Xue Mei over to be close to him.

He already used with Xui Li's attitude toward Xue Mei, however, he always feels jealous toward him whenever he touches his girlfriend.

"You too." She smiles and waves her hand to him.

After he was gone from her sight, she turns around and tugs her hand to Ren Zhi's arm.

"Alright! Let's do our best!" She smiling happily.

"Yeah." He bends his body and kisses her on the cheek.

A moment he moves his head, he heard a coughing sound not far from them.

Both of them turn to look at the person. Xue Mei scrunches her eyebrow a bit not knowing the person, however, Ren Zhi's eyes turn wider and he's slightly pale.

"Ha Eun?" He murmurs slowly but still can be heard by Xue Mei.

'Ha Eun?' She tilts her head and looks at the girl again.

From her appearance, there's no doubt. She is his ex-girlfriend! Her feature is all the same as what Ying Yue once told her before.

"Erm, babe?" She tries to act calm and turn to Ren Zhi again.

"I..I'm..I'm sorry, I need a fresh air first." He leaves the booth where Xue Mei and Ha Eun dumbfounded a moment.

"Ah! I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here." She bows her head a few times to Xue Mei. Her voice was so soft and her acts are so natural.

"Um..it's okay. He might be a bit nervous." Xue Mei said.

"Are you his girlfriend?" She asks politely.

Xue Mei nods her head.

"Oh, that's good. My name is Ha Eun. I'm sorry I didn't properly introduce myself to you." She bows her head again.

"It's okay. My name is Xue Mei." She also slightly bows her head to her.

Rise her head back, she sees Ha Eun smile sweetly to her. "Is this your and Ren's artwork?" She diverts her eyes to the booth.

"Y..yes.."

'She looks so soft and fragile. How come this girl is the greatest rival for Ying Yue?'

"It's so details and beautiful." She observes everything inside the booth. Her smile never fades away from her beautiful face.

Xue Mei observes her from behind. She wearing an A-line peach dress which is in knee-length and her hair was so smooth with natural curls at the end of edge of her hair. Her skin was so soft and so fair like a snow white. She had a big rounded eye and her eyelash was so long with her eyebrow cutely shapes, she just like what Ying Yue said. A true goddess. Par with her senior before.

"You are so talented. I could see that you would become a great artist in the future." She turns around and smiles at her.

"Thank you." She replies it short.

Went to Xue Mei, she holds her hand gently. "Xue Mei, could you tell Ren later.."

She gulps a bit to what she would hear from Ha Eun.

"Tell him that I'm sorry to have shocked him like that. I mean nothing actually. I just want to see his art. And Xue Mei..thank you.. thank you for light up his world again." She said honestly and with her big puppy eyes, Xue Mei's heart calms and feel like she is the one who fell in love with her.

"Uh..sure." She said.

"Thank you, Xue Mei. I wish you luck on your presentation later."

"Thank you." She waves her hand to her after she releases her hand earlier.

"Seriously? She was so nice and gives a good vibe. Why do I feel unnecessary jealousy back then?" She murmurs and when she turn around back, she sees that Ren Zhi also approaching her.

His face is much better than before. However, his eyes are blank maybe his mind too, is blank right now.

"Are you okay, Ren?" She asks him worriedly.

"Yeah..is she gone?" He tries to look at Xue Mei same as before.

"Hm? Yeah, she leaves you a message."

"What does she said?"

"She said that she just want to see your artwork. She doesn't mean to shock you."

"Hm.." He wraps his hand around her shoulder and kisses the tip of her shoulder.

"Ren?" She was a bit surprised and blushed too.

"I'm so glad that you didn't ask me who is she." He mumbles.

"Because I know who is she."
