17 Let's Be A Partner.

Chuckles, Risa nod her head. "Yup, I agree with you. My eyes for a man who wears a hat is different from the one who is not."

"See? What we wear is important to what others might judge us."

Xue Mei scrunches her eyebrow. "But aren't we are supposed not to judge by people's appearance?"

Messing her hair, he said again. "That's true. But if we capable to wear something nice and proper then why not we wear them?"

"Erm.."

"Okay, enough with this topic. Xui Li senpai, you really look cool with a hat and Meimei, I like whatever you wear." She pulls Xue Mei close to her. Feeling a bit jealous looking both of them seem close.

"Eh, where is Ren Zhi?" Risa turns to look at back when she suddenly noticed that Ren Zhi is not behind them.

"Are you guys done?" Ren Zhi suddenly appears with a shopping bag in his hand.

Xui Li look at him with a questioning look but Ren Zhi just ignores his gaze.

"Yeah, I already buy what I want."

"Oh, wait. I want to pay for this bowler and scarf first." Xui Li went to the counter to pay for the hat and scarf. While the three of them wait at the waiting area.

While waiting, Ren Zhi suddenly turns to Risa. "Your name is Risa, right? Can you tell Xui Li that I and Xue Mei will go first? You don't mind I borrow her for today right?"

"Huh?" She's quite surprised by what Ren Zhi just said. Not only her, but Xue Mei also surprised and turn to him.

"Ok then, bye." He continues again and grabs Xue Mei's hand.

"Eh, wait.." Xue Mei wants to hold him up, but he gripped his hand on her arm making she had no choice.

Looked at Risa, she also could only wave her hand to Xue Mei.

...

After paying for the hat and the scarf, he went back to Risa and a bit surprised to see only her still waiting for him.

"Where's Ren and Xue Mei?" He looks around.

"Erm...Ren said they both will go first." Risa reply to him.

"Go where?"

"He did not say."

"Oh.." He took out his phone want to call Ren, but his call was rejected by him.

"Erm...So, what about us?" Risa asks shyly. This is also an opportunity for her to know more about Xui Li.

He smiles at her. "Where do you want to go?"

"Erm, maybe I want to watch some movie. Are you okay with accompanying me?"

He looks at the date on his watch. "Are there any action movie that is releasing this month?"

"Err…Let me check first." She took out her phone and check on the latest movie update at the movie theater.

Xui Li keep trying to call Ren Zhi but still unavailable.

"How about if we watching a 'bad guy, I love you'?" Risa tries to give a suggestion.

"Huh? Ah..sure."

"Okay.." She presses the button 'buy' on her phone screen. "Done! Xui Li senpai, let's go." She said happily.

…

Central Park, Imperial City.

"Why are we here?" Xue Mei look around her.

"Draws me." Ren Zhi said as he lay a picnic cloth on the grass. He also takes out a few painting tools from his tools case.

"Eh..why?"

He pats on the cloth to make her sit down in front of him.

She sits on the picnic cloth and put her sling bag at the side. Waiting for him to explain to her his motive.

"Draws me, and if I satisfied with your work. Let's be a partner."

Her eyes turn wider. Clearly, she's a bit shocked and she stuttered a bit.

"Be..Be..a partner?"

"Yeah. Partner."
