Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

“When did you come?” They asked her after a hug.

“This morning, “An Xiulan replied. “I had a job interview today. I got a job mom. Are you happy?”

“Very, “An Qinyan smiled. She kissed her forehead. She couldn’t express in words about how happy she was seeing her daughter finally at home. She was proud of what her daughter has turned out to be. “You are finally home.”

“Mom, even if you throw me out, I won’t leave, “An Xiulan stubbornly said, hugging her mother again.

“As if I will dare to, “An Qinyan said, rolling her eyes.

“Where did you apply for the job?” Gu Yanxi asked as he recalled that she told them that she had applied for a job in China. They were already shocked by the news that she had returned home. Getting a job here was something they couldn’t even dare to imagine.

“NL. Dad is still shocked, “An Xiulan commented.

“Did you inform your brothers?” An Qinyan asked after a while.

“Lu Xuan is still moody. Yan Ge and I haven’t talked in a month, ” An Xiulan sighed. “Yoona is in Newyork which means they fought again and I don’t wanna call and interfere between them. Mom, they always want me to act as an intermediary between them. Also, Lu Xun is in summer camp and if I called him, he would come back. So, I thought why not just go home and live peacefully without them?”

“You can meet Shangyan and Xuan in the morning, “An Qinyan said with a smile. “Shangyan lives nearby now and I will call Lu Xuan. As much as he likes to care that he doesn’t miss you, we all know that he has been looking forward to seeing you again.”

“Mom, don’t call them. I’m afraid that they will move back to annoy me, ” An Xiulan grumbled. “Can’t you let me enjoy the joy of being an only child?”

“For how long?” They asked.

“Guys, don’t give me that look. We didn’t fight, ” An Xiulan sighed. “It’s just that I’m overwhelmed to be back and I just need a little time to prepare myself to meet everyone.”

“You can take all the time in the world, ” An Qinyan smiled. “Now that you are home, I’m glad.”

“Okay, fine, you can inform them, I don’t mind. I’m just acting spoiled.”

An Qinyan sighed. “You can act spoiled because we are willing to spoil you. Now take a rest. It’s getting late at night.”

An Xiulan was sitting on the window of her childhood room. It had been a whole day since she had returned home. Last night, she slept peacefully and in the morning, she had breakfast with her family and came back to her room to sleep because she was jet-lagged. Nobody disturbed her as everyone knew how tired she would be after such a long flight.

She was humming while sitting at the window when saw a black jeep stopping in front of the house next to her. She tried to look out, craning her neck but she didn’t see anyone.

A few minutes later, an old man came out of the hero holding a cane. She couldn’t see the face of the man but she could see his head full of grey hair. She had an inkling about who it could be but it was still just an inkling, nothing certain.

Before she could fall down the window into the balcony given how she was running her neck to look down, a tall man came out of the driving seat holding a bag and wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. As if the tall man could feel a gaze on him, he looked back but An Xiulan jumped down the window and hid behind the curtains. It was a reflex action on her part. It was as if she couldn’t meet eye with that person.

She was breathing heavily. Her chest was heaving up and down. She couldn’t explain the weird feeling she was having. She could understand excitement but nervousness.

Why was she nervous?

What was wrong with her?

Clearly, something was not right.

She placed her hand on her heart and realised how fast her heart was beating. Again, what was wrong with her? What was this weird feeling that she was having? She patted her warm cheeks and decided to be brave again.

Once again, she moved a little to see the scene outside. Her eyes couldn’t move from the face of the handsome man. Those brown Phoenix eyes shining in the sunlight gave the illusion of gold shining under the sun. He was always tall but now he looked taller. She bet that he was taller than six feet. Maybe Six feet two or three? Something just like that. Oh God, since when did she start seeing him that way? She patted her cheeks once again to come back to her senses.

He ran his hand through his dark and thick hair and she was jealous of that healthy hair. His features had only become stronger with time.

If she was shocked by her brothers’ handsomeness with time, then she had no words for this man. He looked like a handsome and charming bad boy straight out of fiction.

[Gosh, An Xiulan, what’s up with you? Why are you behaving like a lovesick woman?] 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

“Missy, what are you looking at?”

An Xiulan was startled as Meimei suddenly approached her. She swallowed hard as if she was caught doing something indecent.

“What’s wrong?” Meimei asked once again. She couldn’t understand why An Xiulan looked bothered.

“Hush, ” An Xiulan said as she placed a finger on her lips and looked out of the window but this time there was no one outside, just a jeep standing there.

“Are you stalking someone?” Meimei finally asked.

“Aish, ” An Xiulan made a bad face. “I am a criminal lawyer. I know the penalty for the offence of stalking.”
