Chapter 75: The plan still failed

Nana entered through the door and was immediately surrounded by the twins.

Yukito said worriedly, “Nee-chan! You are finally here. Where were you?”

“Do you know how worried we were? It was such a heavy storm and you didn’t even contact us once.”, Yukira pouted.

Jianyu asked, “Are you okay, Nana? I was just on my way to look for you. You seem terrible.”

They then saw her state. “Gosh, you are all wet from the rain. You will catch a cold like this. Wait, we will bring you a towel.”

Nana said, “No, it’s alright. I will just freshen up in my room. And sorry I couldn’t contact you. I-it was raining all of a sudden and my cell lost the network. I didn’t even have an umbrella, so I got all wet.”

Suyin came back from the lady’s room to see everybody worried about her. She tried to give a smile.

“Oh Nana, where were you? You got us all tensed here.”

Nana was surprised to see Suyin. After their last interaction, she didn’t expect to meet her, especially not in Natsukashi.

“…Yeah, I just explained my predicament to them. It’s okay now.”

But Suyin noticed something odd about her. She found her flushed may be. A light blush was on her cheek. And her lips…Suyin jolted on realization.

Her lips were swollen and probably felt even redder and fuller than before. There was a slight bite mark on her lower lip. Gosh, she has kissed somebody!

I can’t believe my luck! My plan failed but I got even a much better deal. Guess even luck is on my side. She sneered inwardly.

“What is this Nana? You are hurt!”, she got in her acting mode.

The twins and Jianyu were surprised, “Huh, where?”

“Look at her lips. It shows a light scar.”, she pointed.

Nana froze. She instantly touched her lower lip. Indeed there was a slight depression.

This…it was when Mr. Liu bit me hard to…to enter his tongue. The memory flashed by. In the light drizzle, both being wet by it, and his tongue exploring hers. She felt unable to breathe.

“That…”, she stammered. What do I say now?

Suyin said in a teasing manner, “Oohh…it looks like you kissed somebody.”

Nana widened her eyes in shock. She trembled a little.

The twins got furious. What is she trying to imply!?

“Suyin!”, Jianyu warned.

“What?”, she asked feigning confusion, “It clearly looks like a kiss. Why are you overreacting? And it’s fine, right? After all, she is of the age now to have boyfriends. She is so beautiful. It won’t be any surprise if she already has one.”

“It’s nothing like that.”, he said it like a proven fact.

She frowned, “How can you be so sure?”

She doesn’t know that Mom has already liked Nana for me. Nana and I both have the idea that we may try dating one day. Why would she find some other guy?, He thought. God how should I explain this?

“See? Even you are stumped. What’s the big deal? Plus, she also came so late. Maybe it was a secret date after all. And it’s not like she is your girlfriend and she has cheated you behind your back.”, she smirked faintly.

“It’s not like that!”, Nana suddenly said. “I accidentally bit my own lip hard while having lunch. That is all.”

Jianyu was relieved. “See? It was nothing after all.”

Suyin was dumbfounded. What? Such a lame excuse and he bought it?

“Oh c’mon Nana, you don’t have to hide it. It’s okay. There is no need to be so shy about it.”, she still tried to stir up trouble.

Yukito said in annoyance, “If sis says that she bit her herself so that must be it. Why, don’t people unintentionally bite their own lip or tongue sometimes? It happens.”

Yukira also nodded.

“But-“

“Just drop it Suyin. The twins are right.”, Jianyu interrupted, “Didn’t you just say that it’s not a big deal? Leave it already. And Nana has just returned. She must be tired. Look, she is all wet but we are still talking.”, he looked at Nana said, “Nana, you go. And we will also leave. It’s late now.”

She nodded.

Suyin was so mad. The perfect opportunity came knocking herself but she still got out of it unscathed. Twice!

Uhh I so want to kill her. She is like a parasite, refusing to leave my Jianyu. No. I will have to plan something bigger and more dangerous that will destroy her in a single strike.

They just left the entrance when Jianyu said, “Suyin, you wait here. I will just come back in a second.”

“Huh? Where are you-“, but he already left. Suyin felt suspicious and followed him from the other side.

Jianyu entered Natsukashi again and found Nana climbing the staircase up to her room.

“Nana!”, He called out.

Nana turned back and was surprised to see Jianyu again.

“Chen Jianyu? Did you forget anything?”

“Ah no. I just wanted to ask you something.”

“Yes?”

“Umm…actually I wanted to talk something important to you. Something personal regarding us. Can we meet up somewhere tomorrow?”

She furrowed her brows but nodded.

“Ah…sure.”

“Great. I will pick you up at 11 then.”

“Okay.”

“I will go now. Take care and eat something warm.”

She smiled.

From a distance, Suyin heard everything. She got a bad feeling about this.

What is the thing Jianyu wants to talk about? He looked so serious. She quickly went back before Jianyu finds her missing.
