"I will choose Zi Er. Zi Er and I will spend that 24 hours I have left doing everything I haven't done with her," Shiyi said honestly. Everywhere turns dead silent after Shiyi finished talking. Jin, who was curious to see Yifeng's expression, turned and stare at his face. He was slightly surprised to see him look so relaxed despite what Shiyi said.

"Wow, I feel so honoured that big bro would want to spend his last hours with me," Yang Zi said, beaming just to ease the tension in the room.

​​

"Big bro, how could you choose Zi Er? What about me? Don't you love me too?" Shui Shui asked, sounding jealous. Nobody could guess whether she was really jealous or was only putting up an act.

"I love you very much too, so don't feel jealous that I choose Zi Er," Shiyi said beaming at her.

Look at him, hiding his pains behind those smiles. Since we are at it, why doesn't he just confess his feelings? I know he doesn't stand a chance right now, but he will forever be free if he lets her know how he feels about her.

Wen Min thought, staring at the beaming Shiyi. She felt so terrible seeing him smile when she knew he was in pain. After talking for a while, Shiyi spun the bottle.

"Who was your first crush and was he the one who stole your first kiss?" Shiyi asked Shui Shui curiously since she chose truth.

"Shiyi, why are you asking who is my first crush when you are the one or don't tell me you didn't know about this?" Shui Shui asked curiously. After Shui Shui gave her reply, a surprised expression could be seen on everyone's face. The only person who didn't look surprised was Yang Zi.

"I was your first crush? How is that possible?" Shiyi asked, dumbfounded to hear such revelation.

"Shiyi, how could you not know that I had a crush on you in high school? It hurts me so much to know that you were completely ignorant of my feelings for you?" Shui Shui said, pretending to look hurt. Everyone just watched them speak without interrupting them.

"The first time I saw you working on your computer when we were in school, I couldn't help but think you looked cool and handsome. I started dreaming of making you mine since that day, but I had to let go of my feelings for you when I realised you didn't like me in the same way I liked you," Shui Shui relayed. She couldn't help thinking about those days she had a crush on Shiyi.

Back then it was only her and Yang Zi who were friends until Yang Zi saved a boy from some bullies in school. They all didn't become friends immediately. She didn't know how it happened because Yang Zi just introduced him to her as their new friends. Since the day Yang Zi introduced him to them, the three of them became good friends. It was during one of her visit to the Luo's Mansion that she met Shiyi typing so rapidly on his computer. She was so mesmerised by how fast his fingers worked at the same time. Her admiration for him had started on that day. She followed him wherever he went and also did whatever he wanted without complaints. The day she read an unsent letter he wrote to Yang Zi on his laptop, she felt so heartbroken that it was Yang Zi he loved, not her.

Just not to complicate their relationship, she had perfectly hidden her feelings away. Thinking back now, she doesn't know how she overcame her feelings for him.

"If you had a crush on me, why did you keep it a secret? Why didn't you let me know..."

"Would you have reciprocated my feelings if I did that?" Shui Shui asked bluntly.

"No, right? That is why I didn't say a word to you. I loved you and Zi Er so much back then, even until now. I didn't want to do anything that would ruin our perfect friendship," Shui Shui said seriously.

"Do you know what, Shiyi?" Shui Shui asked, staring at him. The way she focused all her attention on him was like everyone in the room was invisible to her.

"What?" Shiyi asked, all his attention focused on the lady whom he has known for the best part of his life.

"I don't regret keeping my feelings secret back then. If I was given an opportunity to go back to the past, I would have still taken the same decision without thinking twice about it. Do you know, why?" Shui Shui asked rhetorically.

"Because I love the way we are right now. I am so in love with our friendship. I am a hundred per cent sure that we wouldn't have remained friends if I hadn't taken that painful decision back then. Do you now understand why I said I don't regret the decision I took?" Shui Shui asked, smiling at him.

"Was he your first kiss?" Su Jin asked curiously. It was when he spoke that Shui Shui recalled they were not alone. The first person her gaze went to was her boyfriend. She couldn't read what crazy thoughts were running through his mind.

Is he mad or jealous about what I said?

Shui Shui thought, completely lost in her thoughts.

"Shui Shui, where has your mind run off to? Answer the second part of the sentence," Su Jin ordered playfully.

"He wasn't the one who kissed me, but I did. I was pretty naughty back then. I had always pestered him to go out with me to play, he sometimes agreed without hesitation but other times he refused, especially when he was busy with his computers," Shui Shui said, smiling when she recalled how naughty she and Yang Zi were. She could still recall how often her parents and Shiyi's parents always scolded them for their naughtiness.

"Tell us how it happened," Su Jin ceased her moment of distraction to make her tell them the story.

"Back then, with Zi Er having to prepare for international quiz competition, she did not have time for me. Because of these, I was very bored and since I didn't have anyone to play with, I barged into the Luo's Mansion and then straight to Shiyi's room. When I barged into his room, he was on the bed working on his laptop as usual. After pestering him for over twenty-five minutes, I threatened to kiss him if he did not play with him. He thought I was playing, not knowing that I was damn serious. After I exhausted my counting, I had pounced on him and kiss him to his greatest dismay. Thinking back now, I can't help but smile because of how naughty I was," Shui Shui said smiling.

Seeing her smile so brightly, Yang Zi felt so relieved. Knowing very well that she was the cause Shiyi didn't reciprocate Shui Shui's feelings, she wouldn't have been able to forgive herself if Shui Shui had shed tears while narrating this story.

"Wow! What a sweet love story," Su Jin said, smiling.

"Do you still love him?" Wen Min asked nervously.

"What! Hell no! I love him as my best friend, but not romantically. I love my man," Shui Shui said, smiling at Xiaofei.

"I can see and even feel your love for him," Yifeng said seriously.

"Yeah, Xiaofei is blessed to have such a rare gem as his woman. If I was a guy, I would have long married her because she is such an angel," Yang Zi said, smiling sweetly at Shui Shui.

"I would have also long married you too if I was a guy. I wouldn't have waited for Feng to steal you from me," Shui Shui said playfully. Laughter erupted in the room on hearing Shui Shui's comment. After the laughter lied down, Shui Shui spun the bottle. The bottle stopped at Su Jin's front and he chose truth.

"What is the most embarrassing moment of your life that you could never forget?" Shui Shui asked, smiling devilishly.

"The most embarrassing moment of my life was when my best friend Miyu barged into the bathroom and met me completely nude....,"

"Hahaha.....," the ladies laughed hysterically.

"I can imagine your awestruck expression," Wen Min said, still laughing.

"Do you know what made the situation worse?" Su Jin asked. Yifeng smiled, seeing Su Jin's expression as he relayed the story he recalled so vividly.

"What!" The ladies chorused, their eyes shining brightly in anticipation.

"It was when she exclaimed in shock, Oh my gosh! Jin, is that you?" Su Jin said, facepalming his face when he recalled Miyu's dumbstruck expression that day.

"Wow! What on earth did she see that prompted her to make such remarks?" Shui Shui asked, winking naughtily at the embarrassed Su Jin.

"She might have seen what she shouldn't have seen. Am I right, Jin?" Yang Zi teased.

"You ladies should please stop teasing me," Su Jin said.

"To tell you how embarrassed he was, he didn't leave his home for a week just so he won't see Miyu and even when he finally mustered up the courage to leave his home after much persuasion from me, our relationship was so awkward. I suffered a lot from having to settle their awkward behaviour towards each other," Yifeng said smiling.
