He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 168: A Moving Love Story

The bus rode to the bottom of the staircase. Xiao Yun walked with Su She In beside her and the two young men behind her. The staircase was as expected longer than what Xiao Yun had thought. It was steep and needed light movement, but because of her light clothes, she didn't felt as tired as the other girls beside her who had given up walking. 

Behind Xiao Yun, not that far, Ji Gu Na glared at her in contempt. A few days ago she had been sure that the plan that she made with Su She In as the scapegoat would work well. But she had never guessed that Xiao Yun the witch would turn the enemy into her friend. 

Now that Su She In is out, the only thing she could do is to proceed with the plan by herself. On the second day of the trip, the school would be holding a test courage for the students near the hotel. As a part of the disciplinary committee, she would be the organizer to the test courage. At that time, she would make sure to take Xiao Yun alone and show her fear.   

'Just you wait, Yu Xiao Yun!' Ji Gu Na twist her face into a hideous smile. 

"Do you need help with that?" Xue Xiu Yong looked at the bag at Xiao Yun's hand.

Xiao Yun shook her head. "No, I will be fine." After last night, she had promised to Wang Li Lei on keeping more distance with the boys around her. 

Xue Xiu Yong conceded for the first time, walking by her side quietly. "Last night, I saw Mr. Wang in our hotel. Did you see him?" Xue Xiu Yong looked at Xiao Yun who had a gentle smile on her face. 

"Yes, I know." 

Xue Xiu Yong crooked his lips a little upset regretting his question. "What did he followed you here or something?" 

"He has a business to do here. He's a busy person you know." Xiao Yun placed a flag of justice for her man. 

Xue Xiu Yong gave an oh in doubt. 'There's no way that man isn't stalking her' 

"A few more staircases and we will arrive." Zhuang Huan Wu out of nowhere spoke beside Xue Xiu Yong, startling him. "Xiao Yun aren't you tired? Everyone had taken a rest." 

Xiao Yun glanced around to see the students sitting on the staircases and shook her head. "I'm fairly good with my stamina."

"I could see that." Zhuang Huan Wu replied with his smile. 

"Ahem." Xue Xiu Yong cut down their air again. "We arrived."

Xiao Yun's eyes stuck on the view before the beautiful pagoda. It was a five-story tall tower with eight sides and because they came in the morning, morning haze lingered around the sky, bringing a sense of mesmerizing mystical air to the place. The shade of green large trees across the place brought freshness and perhaps because of the rain last night, it felt even clearer and fresh. 

"I wonder if Bai Zu Chen is here?" Su She In spoke with pitiful eyes. 

The Leifeng Pagoda had a moving love story of a young scholar who falls in love with a beautiful woman, unaware that she is a white snake who has taken on human form. A monk intervenes in order to save the scholar's soul and casts the white snake into a deep well at the Leifeng Pagoda.

Even though the white snake was genuinely in love with the scholar, their relationship defy heaven and instead turned into a tragedic love story with separation. 

'Tragedic love story.' Xiao Yun swept her eyelashes across the place. 

"Stupid, that's only a story. It's not as if it did happen." Xue Xiu Yong chided.

"Ah! Xiao Yun!" Nie An's team who had just arrived run toward her. Zhi Ling Ling also followed from behind. 

"Nie An! Ling Ling!" Xiao Yun greeted her friends with a hug. 

"It was a very looong walk." Nie An slouched her back as she sighed. 

Xiao Yun replied with a giggle. "But the view here is very beautiful. It's a reward for the people who have finished hiking to the top."

Nie An agreed and when she looked across Xiao Yun, Xue Xiu Yong and Zhuang Huan Wu came to sight, she gasped. "Did they made trouble for you?" Nie An asked in a whisper but Xue Xiu Yong could hear it clearly.

"Hey, little An, I'm not a bug, you know."

Nie An turned around, giving an empty smile at him. "Ah- Young master Xiu Yong. I didn't see you there before."

"Perhaps you need to check your eyes little An. I know a very excellent ophthalmologist to fix your eyes." 

"Hahaha, what a very funny joke young master." Nie An attacked in sarcasm.

Xue Xiu Yong crossed his arm. After playing this game with Nie An for quite a long time, he was able to keep his annoyance on her sarcasm a little longer. "Little An, I will very much appreciate it if you stop calling me young master."

"If you stop calling me little An, I can consider it, young master. Perhaps." Nie An gaze was the exact opposite of her smile. 

Before sparks of lightning coming off from their eyes, Xiao Yun raised both hands in front of their face. "Anyway, now that we have arrived at the top of the stairs, let's take a picture."

"Let's do that!" Nie An threw her gaze aside from Xue Xiu Yong to Xiao Yun who had begun to open her phone camera. 

When she took it a few centimeters away from her face to take a picture, Xue Xiu Yong, Zhuang Huan Wu, and Su She In came to picture behind Nie An and Zhi Ling Ling. 

Rejecting on taking pictures with them would be rude, but at the same time taking a picture with Zhuang Huan Wu and Xue Xiu Yong is something that she would love to reject. Rubbing to her forehead faintly, she gave a smile to take the picture. "Cheese!" 

Everyone took pictures for a moment and Xiao Yun parted with  Nie An and Zhi Ling  Ling to began again on her explore to the pagoda. Hours moved and after their trip to Leifeng Pagoda, they traveled on the shopping street that wasn't too far from the Lavender street that Wang Li Lei mentioned to her beforehand. 

Stopping at the shopping street, Xiao Yun walked over to the signboard that showed the way to Lavender Street. 

"Everyone, I have somewhere I want to go." Xiao Yun spun her head to the side looking at the three people in her team. 

"Where? This Lavender street?" Xue Xiu Yong asked looking at the street that the sign pointed. It was an empty street that was far different than the merry street where they were before. "What do they have here? It's so quiet."

"Okay, we have finished visiting the street before and we still have time until the meetup. Let's take a look around." Zhuang Huan Wu suggested and strode first to the Lavender street. 

Xiao Yun looked over the street, even though it was a workday the street was too silent and she could only hear the wind rustling the tree beside her. There was a lot of shops lining on both sides of the street. Most of the shops had an authentic touch to it, made up of wooden and covered with fabrics that had the shop names in it. 

After Wang Li Lei's suggestion, Xiao Yun thought that the place he mentioned would be somewhat packed with people, but there was barely anyone there. As the four kept on walking an old woman sitting on a swinging chair trimmed the leaf on her pot plants with her three friends before her playing Mahjong. 

"Damn you, old woman! How can you be cruel to your own friend?" The old woman sitting in front of the previous woman grumbled after her loss. 

"She must be cheating!" the other one on the left scattered the Mahjong tiles into a rumble.

The right one waves her hand and leaned back in silence. 

The winning old woman gave a long sigh. "That's what you get for being distracted, stupid!" 

Xiao Yun's eyes stayed at the four old women and walked over to them. "Excuse me-" 

The winning old woman glanced up at the pretty young lady and squinted her eyes. "What can I help you, young chick?"

'Chick?' Xiao Yun didn't dwell too much on the name the old woman gave and asked. "Do you know the shop called Camellia?" 

The three old women looked at each other, "Are you sure you are searching for that shop, young lady?" 

Xiao Yun replied with a nod and Xue Xiu Yong came talking from behind. "Is the shop closed?" 

"No." The old woman in front of the winning one shook her head and pointed the shop beside her. "The place where you are looking at now is Camellia. This old woman's shop." she pointed into the winning old woman. 

"Why are you searching for my shop, chick?" The old woman snapped an old leaf from the pot and looked over to read Xiao Yun's expression. 

"A business. I'm very interested to see your fabric, Mrs.-...?" Xiao Yun gave her Azure name card to her and saw the old lady took it to stared at it in a crooked grin. 

"Liang Hu." The old woman named herself, her eyes reading the young girl who had a green face yet deep eyes that didn't fit her the least.
