Chapter 456 unedited
An Xiulan went to Han Zixin's place again. Her heart was beating fastly. She did not know if she did anything wrong or not. She just followed her instincts and went straight to him. She wanted to make everything right between the two of them.
She opened the door and nobody was inside as she had thought. She put her bag on the couch and rested there for a while. She thought of texting him and asking when he would be back but then decided against it. It would be better if she waited for him.
Soon an hour passed and Han Zixin was nowhere to be seen. She was checking her phone again and again. Should she call him? Should she inform him that she was waiting for him here? Another hour passed with An Xiulan immersed just in her thoughts.
Her phone rang. She excitedly tried to pick it up. She hadn't checked the caller name.
"Hello!"
"Xiulan?"
An Xiulan was disappointed after hearing Song Xueyun's voice over the phone.
On the other side of the phone, Song Xueyun was livid. "You little liar, you told me you have a date with Han Zixin and can't spend time with me."
When An Xiulan was coming here, she got Song Xueyun's call who was asking her to hang out at her place. But she refused saying she would be meeting with Han Zixin. Since Song Xueyun was not agreeing easily, she had to say that it was a special plan and she could not postpone it.
An Xiulan could not tell Song Xueyun the real reason. If she told Song Xueyun, Han Nanxian would automatically know. She would wait for Han Zixin to tell all of this to his family. He was already mad at her. She did not want to do anything to make him more mad at her.
An Xiulan said in a serious tone, "Yunyun, I really have to meet him tonight."
Song Xueyun was so much heated that she could not sense fluctuations in An Xiulan's tone. She went on to say, "How will you meet him when he is not even here tonight? You break my heart, Xiulan!"
"What do you mean?" An Xiulan asked.
"What do I mean?" Song Xueyun said, "You did not want to hang out with me and then you lied to me."
It might seem like Song Xueyun was mad at An Xiulan but it was not the case. She was just emphasizing on meeting An Xiulan as she really wished to spend quality time with her friend.
"No, not this. About Han Zixin?" An Xiulan asked her.
"What about him?" Song Xueyun asked her.
"That he is not even here…" An Xiulan could not even formulate sentences properly as she was that much affected by this news. If he really left, why did he not tell her? He always said things to her before going. He knew that she would be waiting for him but he still went ahead?
Song Xueyun further told her, "Yes, he went to C city. I heard it from Han Nanxian." Taking a pause, she went on to say, "Don't tell me you didn't know!"
An Xiulan whispered, "I have no idea."
She was still in shock that he went to another city and didn't even tell her.
"What about your date night?" Song Xueyun asked, "Did he lie to you too?"
Song Xueyun asked, "No, he did not know about it." She felt bad for her friend and tried to console her, "Oh baby, it was you who was planning it. But why don't you know about it? He should have told you first. But it is okay. The plan might be last minute and he could not tell you."
An Xiulan said, "I was so busy that I didn't check my messages. Maybe he texted me."
Liar. She had been checking her messages every ten minutes.
"Alright, can you come now?" Song Xueyun said. Maybe, if they met now, both of them would feel better. "Han Nanxian is not even here. I am getting bored. We both can have fun together."
An Xiulan said, "Call Yue. I am tired."
To make things light, Song Xueyun acted spoiled with her, "You bruise my heart, Xiulan."
An Xiulan said, rolling her eyes, "Dramatic."
In the end, Song Xueyun said, "Okay, if you are tired, we can meet another day."
"Thank you, Yunyun." With this, she hung up.
Now that she knew Han Zixin wouldn't be coming, An Xiulan did not know what to do next. She still sat on the couch with a heavy heart and began to ponder what to do next. Nothing was going right with her life. She almost lost her job today. Now she would not be able to make things right with Han Zixin. She was not feeling good about it.
She spent around half an hour pondering and then decided to leave his apartment. If she stayed there, she would not be able to think anything and dwell into bad thoughts and mood. It was better to go to a different and positive environment to be able to think again.
She decided to get her things from the bedroom before leaving the apartment. Once she collected her things and was leaving the bedroom, she saw the plate of food that she had arranged for him on the table was left untouched.
Tears formed in her eyes. She did not know why her heart was suddenly aching so much. She tried to control her emotions but soon hot tears streamed down her face.
It was not even a big deal but why was she feeling this way? She was just trying to make things right but why were things not working out in her favor.
"It will be fine, Xiulan, "An Xiulan told herself. "Once Zixin comes, we will talk. The misunderstanding will be all cleared. "
But for the first time in life, she could not trust her own words.
