Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

After office Han Zixin picked Axn Xiulan again. This time instead of going straight home, he brought her to a place. Currently, he had parked his motorcycle on the side of the road. She was leaning against the motorcycle enjoying her ice cream that he got for the two of them.

Behind them was a river flowing and from the place where they were standing they could enjoy a beautiful picture. They could look down the road where the river was flowing and a few meters from there, a dam establishment could be seen.

"What brings you here?" An Xiulan asked him. "We have not been to this place in years."

It had been so many years since they came to this place. An Xiulan recalled that many years ago, this place was one of the hottest recreational spot in the city. There was a dam and then there was a big park near it. People came to see the beauty of this river from farway lands.

Han Zixin softly nodded his head. On the river there was a dam and they had made a recreational site here for people to enjoy. When they were teenagers they came here with her family. He could not forget the first time he came here with her family as it was one the happiest times of her life. It was such a simple place but it had touched his heart. For the first time, he had so much fun. It could be said that it was the first time, he went on a picnic.

His childhood might not be filled with a lot of happiness after his parents died and he found out that his biological parents had abandoned him and he had been lied to. Those days were the darkest days of his life.

But his teenage years were filled with lots of happiness. Sure, there was a bad time but that bad time was overshadowed by the happy moments that he got in his teenage years. This all became possible because of her and his grandfather who left no stone unturned in making him feel loved and wanted.

An Xiulan was the most beautiful chapter of his life. She was the person who had her contribution in every chapter and theme of his life. It would not be wrong to say that it was her who shaped him as the person that he was.

Today if he was living such a bright life, it was because of her. If she had not made entry in his life when he needed a ray of light to guide so badly, he would not be who he was today. In simple words, she was that ray of his light who showed him a way to a better life and a better future.

"You are lost somewhere, "An Xiulan said to him. She could clearly see that he had been lost in his thoughts. This evening when he told her that he wanted to bring her somewhere today, she did not decline. She wanted to know what he wanted to show her this badly.

Even last night when they were on call, he had told her that he wanted to show her a place. She didn't think at that moment that he would act quickly on it and bring her here the very next day.

"I am just thinking,"Han Zixin said after a while. He turned to look at her and said, "Have you wondered how our lives have changed since the time we first came here? When we were sixteen we came here for the first time in our life. Nothing is same anymore."

"Do you feel sad that nothing is the same anymore?"An Xiulan questioned him.

"No," Han Zixin answered her. "Some changes are good changes. Do you agree?"

AnXiulan nodded her head. "I agree with you. Some changes are good changes. By the way , what brings you here today?"

"This," Han Zixin said and pointed at the sky. One day he was going through this way and he saw this scene. The sun was crimson in the sky and its redness as it set was reflecting on the river water while the sky broke out into myriads of colors. When he saw this scene, the first thought that came to his mind was not how beautiful this sky was but how badly he wanted to show it to AnXiulan who he knew would adore this view. She was one of the biggest nature lovers who would stop to appreciate all the little things.

As An Xiulan turned to look at the sky, she understood why he brought her here. It was such a beautiful picture, something she had never seen before. Then, she looked at the river that carried the reflection of sky on it.

She felt him holding her hand the next moment and her body began getting nervous on its own. There was anticipation. There was nervousness. There was intimidation. She was having a lot of feelings at once that she didn't know what to do about it.

"Xiulan?" Han Zixin called her name softly.

An Xiulan turned to look at his honey eyes. In those honey orbs, she found her reflection shining there.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Han Zixin asked the question meeting her eyes.

An Xiulan's heart boomed in her ribcage. She could feel the sound of blood rushing to her ears. She wanted to avert her gaze from his face as her own eyes carried a hint of shyness. She realised that she could no longer meet his eyes.

A while later, she answered him by nodding her head.

"What did you say?" Han Zixin asked. This time he want no confusion. He wanted to clear everything. Not because he was afraid that she would change her mind but because he was afraid that he was seeing things. Did she just nodded her head? Did she say yes?"

"It's a yes, Zixin, "An Xiulan said and Han Zixin pulled her for a tight hug. He was literally hugging her so tight that she felt herself getting squeezed in his arms.

"Oh god, you are squeezing me, "An Xiulan giggled.

Han Zixin put her back on the ground and scratched his head, "I am sorry. I got a little too excited."

One could see on his face the happiness reflecting. It was as if this man had won the biggest lottery. He was so happy that his honey orbs were overflowing with happiness.

"It's okay, "An Xiulan laughed.

Han Zixin hugged her once again and raised her in the air. "You are my girlfriend."

An Xiulan laughed at his reaction. His happiness surely was contagious as she held the same emotions in his eyes as him. She felt as if her heart was feeling relieved. She could not explain this feeling as it was something she never felt before but she could say that it was not a bad feeling. She would love to feel it everyday for the rest of her life.

"I am your girlfriend, "An Xiulan repeated his words.

"Say it again?" Han Zixin asked.

"That I am your girlfriend?" An Xiulan asked him.

Han Zixin nodded his head. He would never get tired of hearing her say this.

"I am your girlfriend, Han Zixin, "An Xiulan said in a loud voice. In the mountain, her voice echoed and put a smile on their faces.

"Once more, "Han Zixin asked.

"I am your girlfriend, Zixin, "An Xiulan said loudly and the voice echoed once again. Nobody could understand the joy that he was feeling right now.

Suddenly, An Xiulan said, "You are my boyfriend."

And it was his undoing. He put her back on her feet. She was locked between his body and the motorcycle and his lips came to meet hers. An Xiulan didn't resist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. He kissed her slowly as if he was trying to remember how her lips felt against him. The kiss was slow and sweet and it sealed their confirmation of relationship.

"You can't back out now, "Han Zixin said as he broke the kiss and pecked her jaw.

"I am not the one to back out, "An Xiulan said, raising her water eyes to meet his.

"I love you, Xiulan, "Han Zixin said, hugging her. "I will do everything to make you believe how much I want us together. Lets work hard for our new relationship."

An Xiulan shook her head. "You don't have to prove anything, Zixin. I know everything. You won't work hard for us alone. It is now our responsibility."

She hugged him tightly and whispered, "I love you a lot too."
