Xia Sinian was speaking to some of his friends, he didn't bring a date along. He would always attend such events alone.
"Sinian-ge."
Hearing his sister's voice, Xia Sinian turned. A smile crept up his face as he saw his sister walking towards him, "Xiao Mei-" He paused as he noticed the woman who was with his sister, it was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Li Bingbing.
He never thought that he would be face to face with her again after five years of absence.
----
During high school, ever since Xia Meilin and Li Bingbing became friends, Xia Meilin would always invite her to Xia manor.
There, Li Bingbing was able to meet Xia Sinian for the first time since he was rarely seen at school.
Xia Sinian was older than Xia Meilin and Li Bingbing by a year.
Li Bingbing was an upbeat and straightforward person, while, Xia Sinian was a shy boy who would prefer his own company.
He was always the topper of his class but ever since his sister entered high school, everyone started comparing him with his beautiful sister. He was fat, and he looked like a total nerd. No one really liked him at all.
Despite this, no one dared to tease him because of the incident during his first year in high school. He was cornered by a bunch of delinquents and yet, even with his chubbiness, Xia Sinian was able to defeat them all.
When someone dares to bully him, he would always fight back since he had his pride as a man who came from the elite Xia family.
His moves were taught to him by his grandmother and uncle but even with his training, he was a person who loves to eat no matter what time it was, that's why he never got slim.
"Sinian-ge, I love you! Please go out with me!" Li Bingbing exclaimed as she looked at him with seriousness in her eyes.
Xia Sinian's face became red as a tomato. This was the first time he had gotten a confession from a girl. Who would have thought that a beautiful girl like Li Bingbing would actually confess to him?
After being introduced to each other, Li Bingbing and Xia Sinian were able to get to know each other. With Li Bingbing's lively personality, they were able to get along well.
Xia Sinian would join his sister and Li Bingbing whenever they went out to play games or watch movies. The closer he got to Li Bingbing, the stronger his feelings became.
But because of his physical appearance, Xia Sinian was a coward, he never tried to confess. That's why he made up his mind to start dieting.
His goal was to get slim before his graduation day. He has three months to get the ideal body he had in mind.
He skipped lunch and dinner, he would do strenuous exercises until his body couldn't take it. He fainted after doing this routine for two weeks. Because of his weak body, he was brought to the hospital.
And thus, he never got his goal.
After the graduation ceremony, Li Bingbing called him, telling him to meet her at the back of the gym since she wanted to tell him something important.
"Why?" Xia Sinian couldn't help but ask this. He was not handsome. He was fat and ugly. Was she playing around with him?
But seeing the gentle look and the loving smile on Li Bingbing's face, he couldn't help but forget his doubts. Was she really serious?
"Why?" She took a step towards him.
He clenched his fists tight, "I am fat. I am ugly, there are other men better than-
Li Bingbing placed her finger on his lips to stop him from talking. "So what? Do you need to be handsome for me to love you? Do you need to have a great body?"
He held her wrist and pulled her hand away. "You love handsome men, you love their sexy bodies."
He knew this well since she would always "fangirl" whenever she saw one.
She rolled her eyes, "I may be attracted to them but that's just it. They are just eye candy. I want a candy for my heart and that's you."
Xia Sinian still couldn't believe her. He kept on doubting her. "Stop playing around with me, Li Bingbing."
"I'm not." She hugged him. "So what if you're fat? I love your softness, it's very comfortable. Besides, you're not ugly, I find you handsome."
Was this girl blind? Xia Sinian wanted to push her away but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He yearned for this hug from her for a long time.
"I really love you." She said as she looked straight into his eyes.
She loves him, not because of his appearance, but because of who he is. Even if Li Bingbing was someone who was attracted by a man's appearance, that's it. After knowing Xia Sinian, she found out that he was actually a clean and neat person. Aside from that, he was caring and kind to her. He treated her like a lady despite how wild and boyish she was. He was always gentle to her. She fell in love with this part of him.
"If you still won't believe me, that's okay. Let me prove it to you every day. Starting from now on." She held his face and kissed him on the lips.
Li Bingbing tiptoed and kissed him. Since Xia Sinian was not that tall, she didn't have a hard time kissing him.
He was surprised by the kiss, so surprised by it. She kissed him!
As she moved her lips and kissed him sensually, he finally closed his eyes and held her waist. He kissed her back.
Her lips were so soft and sweet, to him it was extremely addictive. The warm feeling on his chest was growing, he could not feel or hear his surroundings. His concentrated on her loving kiss.
After a short while, they pulled away, panting.
Li Bingbing smiled lovingly at him, a blush on her cheeks was seen. "There, you have my first kiss. This is just the start so be prepared." She kissed him on the cheek this time.
