13 Touch of Ignition.

Shen XiaoLi was skipping towards Chen Lisheng with a confused Xixi tailing behind her. She was too happy that she didn't noticed someone else approaching Lisheng.

Fang Sa was excited after the cool move made by Chen Lisheng. She was reminded of their school days where Lisheng was known for his ruthlessness towards clingy girls. Fang Sa has learned a lot of things from the Chen siblings. One of them was how to handle nuisance behaviour of homo sapiens.

Fang Sa walked hurriedly and enveloped Lisheng in a bro hug.

"Hahaha. You were so cool hyung! As expected of my macho hyung"

Chen Lisheng chuckled and returned the bro hug Fang Sa gave him. He really adored this little girl. Even though she was very different from Chen Xixi in personality, she was one of them and she'll always be their little angry bird who called him hyung. They weren't lying to their parents of how their relationship was only as a brother and sister and nothing more.

It was one thing when the ladies were hovering around Lisheng like flies around some sweet but seeing how Lisheng reciprocated the hug Fang Sa gave him, it snapped something inside XiaoLi.

It was as if there was a mountain of gunpowder inside her and this scene just gave it a touch of ignition. Without any thought, XiaoLi's legs moved on their own and she yanked Fang Sa away from Lisheng.

"What are you doing----"

"Miss there is a limit you shouldn't cross. Lisheng gege dosen't like someone touching him as we all saw earlier. So please stop."

Chen Xixi and Chen Lisheng were too shocked to even react. They never thought the cute and polite XiaoLi will do something like this, that too to a celebrity. Fang Sa was shocked too at first but then she seemed to understand the situation. Fang Sa crossed her arms across her chest and straightened herself.

"Miss Shen XiaoLi. To think that you are brave enough to manhandle me is quite impressive. I think you should know the consequences of this move. Moreover, Lisheng gege never protested my hug and even hugged me back. So, I don't think you have a right to oppose"

Fang Sa's gaze was intimidating as if she was looking down on Shen XiaoLi.

The realization of her mistake has seemed to dawn upon XiaoLi, but she can't back down now.

This woman was challenging her openly. She was showing off her closeness to Chen Lisheng.

This made the fury in XiaoLi's eyes to skyrocket. Sensing the change in XiaoLi's aura, Chen Xixi held her arm to indicate that this is not going to end well.

Shen XiaoLi took a deep breath to calm down herself and bowed her head lightly.

"Miss Fang Sa. I know that pulling you was a bit harsh plus you are a guest so I should've been careful. But you terming this as manhandling might give wrong idea to others." Xiaoli's tone was icy cold, a total opposite of her usual one.

"And do not worry miss Fang, I'm strong enough to bear the consequences of my actions." Shen XiaoLi smiled politely but it didn't reach her eyes.

Sensing the intense tension between the ladies, Chen Lisheng became worried and decided to interrupt as he seemed to be the cause to begin with. He held XiaoLi's hand in order to stop her.

"Shen XiaoLi what do you think you're doing?" Lisheng spoke while gritting his teeth.

Shen XiaoLi was shocked silly by Lisheng's behaviour.

"Why everyone is stopping only me?!" She was mad about this hence she tried to free herself from Lisheng.

Chen Lisheng saw a headache comig his way so he did what seemed totally unnatural from his usual behaviour. He held XiaoLi's hand and took her inside the mansion. The man, who was infamous for his indifference towards women, was voluntarily holding a woman's hand, who in turn was kinda running away, was astonishing. It looked like Lisheng was declaring the woman he choose.

The murmurs around her snapped Xixi out of her shocked state. She thought of following her brother and her friend cause she knew what her brother's mood was like right now. Even though his face was expression-less, his aura turned cold and scary.

Just when she was about to move towards their direction, someone held her hand.

"Fang Sa! Let me go. I know gege will not be nice to her. I can't let him hurt XiaoLi" Xixi was desperately trying to free herself.

"Xiaoxi don't be a fool. I sacrificed my image in front of your pretty friend just to create this opportunity. Don't you dare ruin it. I'll shave your eyebrows off."

"You did what?!"

Chen Xixi was staring at Fang Sa with her mouth hung open.

"Don't stare at me like that. You know how well I can read people in just a brief meeting. It is what made me what I'm today. I saw how they were attracted towards each other but were stupid enough to hide it. They needed a touch to ignite the fire between them."

Fang Sa was smiling widely thinking about how genius she was.

"Daebak! XiaoSa you're truly amazing. I've never seen gege taking the initiative, but today he became like this. Thanks to you. But I'm still worried about XiaoLi. Gege is ruthless when he's angry."

"Don't worry about that. He definitely likes her. It's possible that he may be a little harsh on her as he's still confused about his true feelings towards her. So, he might create some distance. But he'll eventually come to her."

This comment made Xixi frown.

"XiaoSa why do you think so? Gege isn't someone who will miss a chance just because he isn't sure. He's someone who believes that you should give it a try even if you're not sure. He's a risk taker. So why will he let XiaoLi go?"

Fang Sa shook her head as if she was explaining something obvious to a curious child.

"Xiaoxi, your brother is hesitant because XiaoLi isn't someone ordinary. She's your best friend plus she's close to your parents too. If he risks to have a fling with her, he won't be the only one who would pay the price. That's why he wants to be truly sure if he can spend his life time with her or not. So, give them some space."

Chen Xiaoxi's eyes shone with admiration towards her friend's mental ability. "XiaoSa laoshi! Take me as your student."

She fake bowed to her friend to which Fang Sa nudged her.

"Stop this. You're embarrassing me. Go away. Shoo shoo"

They both laughed and were giggling when Chen XiaoLi thought of something.

"XiaoSa if gege is going to break my XiaoLi's heart, she'll run out of that room crying. So I should be there to console her. I'll wait outside just in case, okay? Tell mom dad if they search for me."

"Okay. Don't bother about anything here. Go and take care of your pretty friend. And request her not to hate me, okay?" Fang Sa waved Chen Xixi goodbye with a wink.

Chen Xiaoxi went towards the direction where she saw her brother and XiaoLi going earlier. She came face to face with a dead end where she had to chose between right and left.

She was thinking hard to remember where they went when someone pulled her by her hand inside one of the rooms.
