I love horror movies!

Bibi told them they are almost near the stop so they should seated back. Mishi and Xian came towards the cabinet and sat there. After the stop came, they got off the boat.

"Sir, Ma'am," called Bibi.

"Please call us Xian and Mishi. We're of the same age. That way it would be more friendly," said Xian and smiled. Bibi nodded, told them they have to go now for Houhai lake.

"Before that why don't we click the photo of yours?", asked Bibi with a smile and said them to stand beside the lake. Xian put his arm around Mishi's shoulder and Bibi clicked photos of them.

"Look Mishi, you both are looking good", said Bibi and make them look at the photos. Mishi smiled seeing the photos.

"Btw Yin is my friend, Xian," said Bibi.

"Oh really? Wow...Why did you not tell earlier?" asked Xian.

"It's a romantic night trip for you two so I thought to keep it a secret for a while. Let's go then to the Shicha lake where you both will enjoy more," said Bibi. Mishi and Xian smiled and followed her.

"It's like a traditional days boat where you carry lanterns in the boat," Bibi briefed them and helped Mishi getting into it. Xian came after her. "I will click photos for you two," offered Bibi.

There were many boats along with them in the lake and the wax candles increasing the spectacular beauty of the lake. Mishi smiled looking at the boats there while Xian was looking at her. The boat reached the western hill which gives a magnificent view there.

"Please stand over there. I'll click a photo for you two", said Bibi. Xian held Mishi's hand so that she can't stumble. Mishi looked at him lovingly when Bibi clicked a photo.

"Xian at least kiss your wife. It will be a memorable photo," said Bibi. 

Mishi shook her head in refusal. "It's not needed" when Xian puts his lips on her cheek and she slightly turned her face to look at him. Bibi smiled and clicked the photo. Mishi stepped back immediately when Xian puts his hand around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Don't be too shocked else you will fall in the water." Bibi smiled looking at them and after a while, they returned to the ground. 

"Bibi we will walk to the Xie street ourselves. Thanks for today", said Xian.

"Here these are your photos....you two look good together", said Bibi and walked away.

"Where we have to go?" asked Mishi.

"Well we've to walk, we will come across some shops here in this street," replied Xian. "Btw how are the photos?" he asked later.

Mishi gave him the photos. "Why are you looking at me in every photo? Don't tell me you feel something for me," said Xian.

"No. I was surprised why you are acting so much", said Mishi.

"I wasn't acting. This is the best photo of today...Look", said Xian, forwarding the photo towards her. Mishi looked at the photo and said, "It's not that good. You kissed me all of a sudden. Look at me.. I'm looking so dumb."

"I found this photo good. You acted as if you were only kissed by me three times I guess", said Xian and put the photos inside his jacket's pocket.

"Wh..what are you saying?" asked Mishi stammering.

"Tell me Mishi you were never kissed by anyone before....wait that Zhao has kissed you that day in the park", said Xian and looked at her.

"What are you talking about? He just gave me a pack at the cheek....nothing more", said Mishi.

"You don't have to be shy", said Xian and smiled.

"You're saying as if you kissed many girls," said Mishi loudly without realizing there are people around her. Xian smiled at her and said, "Don't make me look like a pervert in public place. I was teasing you. You don't even get my jokes Mishi. You've got a poor IQ," said Xian and started walking. Mishi ran after him and said, "my IQ is good, better than you".

"See you only fight with me like a wild cat. In front of others you become so innocent", said Xian when his phone rang and it was Mark.

"Bro, you left me here now I'll not pick your call", murmured Xian and switched off his phone, and told Mishi to do the same.

"They both switched off their phones. Xian must have done this", said Mark to Yin.

"Let it be. He must be busy with her," said Yin and sipped the drink. They thought to take them to a bar but the idea got failed.

"Btw we two can talk till they come into contact again", said Mark to Yin.

"What do you want to talk about?", asked Yin.

"Why did you leave your job in the states?" asked Mark looking at her.

"Because I don't want to work there anymore," answered Yin and sipped the drink.

"Yin, it's written on your face that you're lying. You left it because Xian got married right?" asked Mark.

"Your assumption is wrong," said Yin looking at him. She puts her glass at the table.

Mark smiled and said, "I've seen you since childhood days. You have got a crush on him but I thought it went away when you left for the US", said Mark.

"But he's married", said Yin.

"Exactly. Then why did you leave your job there? Indeed you gave him a gift but you know I'm sensing the other things from you", said Mark.

" Xian is happy with Mishi and she completes him", said Mark and gulped the drink. Yin looked at him and smiled. She puts one hand below her chin and asked, "Mark do you still like me?"

Mark looked at her and asked, "Why this sudden question?"

"Just answer", said Yin.

"You know the answer", said Mark looking into her dazzling eyes.

Yin smiled and poured a drink in his glass and then her glass.

"Give up on me then. It will hurt you", said Yin and gestured him to drink.

"Yin I never made a move for all the six years because I thought maybe Xian will fall for you but he didn't. Now he's married I don't think...."

Yin got close to him and with a smile on her shiny lips said, "Mark you never know what happens in the future. Don't you know Xian? He hates Mishi but because of her conditions he's showing sympathy to her".

"Yin it's not sympathy. He never did those things for any girl not even for you", said Mark.

"Let's not argue and hamper our friendship because of Mishi. Let's just enjoy tonight", said Yin and gulped the drink.

In Xie Street, Mishi and Xian almost came to the end of the street when Mishi asked, "Don't you think it's going to be late?"

"Hm....that's why I booked a hotel just a few meters away from here", said Xian and then held her hand, "Don't get lost in this crowd. It will be a burden to find you". Mishi smiled and held his hand gently. After roaming there for an hour they checked in the hotel.

"I've arranged something for tonight", said Xian while entering the room.

"What?" asked Mishi looking at him.

"Horror movie. You told me that you love to watch a horror movie so I decided why not to go with it", said Xian and smiled at her.

"Xian but I'm sleepy," said Mishi acted as if she's yawning.

"You can't sleep tonight. Don't tell me you're afraid of-"

"Hahaha.....it's nothing like that Xian. I just love them."

"Okay, then it's decided we will watch a horror movie tonight. It will be fun. My wife and I have the same choice. I'm happy," said Xian and dragged her towards the couch.
