Xiao Qiao was quiet, even if she was panting from horror that Shang Xiang was ready to open the closet door. She peeked outside from several holes that were designed and carved in the closet, holes about the size of a thumb. Clearly, she could see Shang Xiang's wide smile even before Lu Xun stepped out of the bathroom. And when he did, he was only clad in a a nice, blue silk robe, the one that almost made Xiao get into trouble.
This is not good. Xiao thought. She knows Shang Xiang's flirtatious ways toward Lu Xun, and she was unsure if Xun will give in, thought he has his smart ways to find a way out, in case anything shall happen. "I knew I was right when I came here.",Shang Xiang suddenly said, distracting Xiao's thoughts easily. Flirt.she thought, Get away, Boyan, get away!
Somehow, her silent pleading for Xun to resist temptation was unsuccessful. She could see Xun's face moving towards Shang Xiang's, closer, closer, until their lips lock tight. Worse, Shang Xiang seemed to be enjoying every bit of it. This made Xiao Qiao gasp. Very loudly. She covered her mouth but it was too late.
Xiao could see the couple's reaction from her loud gasp. They immediately stopped, looking around for someone who might see them. Xiao couldn't think clearly. She was disappointed at Xun, and to herself for witnessing such event. This time, she was strong enough not to cry, but the pain inside was unbearable. Right then and there she wanted to come out of the closet and seek comfort from her sister. However, she was distracted by Xun's voice.
'I'm sorry!', he said. Shang Xiang was hesitant to stop but she felt that somebody is still watching, though she could not tell if the intruder was outside or inside the room. "I guess I got a little carried away too.", she replied. "I gotta get some sleep. Good night, Boyan.",her flirtatious tone never left her voice. 'Wait.' Xun said, hiding at a corner and putting some clothes on. 'I'll accompany you.'he offered.
Xiao Qiao was relieved. Finally, its her chance to come out.
