You're My Only Star

Chapter 97 - Didn't You Get The Card?

"Xing Xing! Who sent you this pastry box?" Liu Yu Sheng asked. She wanted to peek at the card, but before he got the chance to peek, Song Xing Xing had already hidden the card away.

Liu Yu Sheng clicked her tongue and looked at the box of pastries. Her eyes glittered with awe.

"I don't know who send me these pastries," Song Xing Xing muttered. She turned to look at her friend and asked, "Do you think it's safe to eat these pastries?"

Hearing her questions, Liu Yu Sheng started to eye the box of pastries suspiciously. "Then, should you throw it away?" She looked at the cakes with a pitiful gaze.

The pastries look good but if they come from a questionable source, it was better not to eat them. Who knew if they accidentally got poisoned or drugged?

These days, they had heard too much news about a similar incident. A person would pretend to send a gift to someone. However, this gift was sent to harm the receiver. A lot of people would not think too much when they received foodstuff as a gift. In the end, they found out that the food was laced with poison.

The frown on Song Xing Xing's face deepened.

Was it really from Lu Xun?

What if it's not? Did she know anyone with the same initial?

Lin Xian? But that person is away in another country. Moreover, she had not contacted this friend for years.

She wanted to ask him but Song Xing Xing realized that she did not have his number. Moreover, she did not know whether she wanted to contact him.

Song Xing Xing recalled the last time she had seen him at the hospital. Her heartbeat accelerated as she thought about his confession.

A few days have passed, but Song Xing Xing still did not know what she should feel about everything.

This time, Lu Xun seemed sincere but Song Xing Xing was not convinced. His words made her happy but she was worried that the man had said those words merely to make her happy.

Perhaps, he felt uneasy when he had said something to upset her and wanted to make up for it.

Song Xing Xing inhaled a deep breath as a thought came to her mind.

Last time, Lu Xun had said that he wanted to be given a chance to pursue her.

Could it be that this box of pastries is part of his plan to pursue her?

It couldn't be, right?

Song Xing Xing quickly poured a bucket of cold water on herself. It was better if she doesn't think too much and put on too much hope in him. She needed to wake up quickly or else, she might get hurt again.

After pondering about it for a while, Song Xing Xing decided to take the box of pastries home.

Perhaps she should contact her cousin, Song Yi, and inquire about Lu Xun's number.

If this box of pastries was really from Lu Xun, then, she could eat them without worry.

Song Xing Xing snapped out of her thought as the cab finally pulled over. She looked out the window and saw that they have arrived in front of her apartment.

After transferring her money to the driver, Song Xing Xing came out with a box of pastries. Her steps halted as she walked closer to the gate.

Seeing that familiar face, Song Xing Xing suddenly did not know what to do.

She did not expect that this man would be waiting for her here.

Song Xing Xing watched as the man stride over towards her with his long legs. Her heart was panicking and she had the urge to run away. However, her legs refused to make a move.

Lu Xun stopped as he was standing in front of her. He glanced at the pastel pink box on Song Xing Xing's hand and smiled. "It's good that you have received them."

As the chef was not in Capital City, the pastries were transported from Z Town in the afternoon to The Orchid Hotel. Then, they were packed into this signature pastel pink box before they were delivered to Song Xing Xing.

Lu Xun had almost thought that the box of pastries would not be arriving at the studio before Song Xing Xing clocked out. Fortunately, they still made it on time.

Song Xing Xing glanced at the box of pastries and asked, "This… they are from you?"

Lu Xun raised a brow. "Didn't you get the card?"

"You only wrote down LX. How was I supposed to know who that person is?" Song Xing Xing argued. "I have many friends with the same initial."

Lu Xun pursed his lips, noticing that he had made a mistake. Next time, he should write his full name on the card. He glanced at the box of pastries again and asked, "Do you like them?"

Song Xing Xing nodded her head without thinking too much. A few seconds later, she regretted that she had given him a quick answer. She should be making things difficult for him first.

However, when she looked at his face again, Song Xing Xing saw that his lips tilted into a smile. It seemed that he was happy to know that she had liked his gift.

Seeing the smile on his face, her heart was racing again.

"I heard that the hotel no longer made these pastries after the chef resigned. How did you get them?"

"I asked for a favor from a friend."

"Oh." She lowered her head and held the box tightly. Suddenly, Song Xing Xing thought that it was awkward to be there alone with Lu Xun. "You… why are you here?"

At this time, a security guard walked over to Lu Xun. He greeted Song Xing Xing briefly and turned to Lu Xun. "President Lu, we have checked with the others. That person did show up at this apartment building a few times since yesterday. However, because she did not have a pass, she was not allowed to enter the building."

Song Xing Xing watched as Lu Xun's expression turned darker.

"Continue and tighten the security around this place," Lu Xun spoke to the guard.

"Yes, President Lu."

After speaking a few words with Lu Xun, the guard then walked away.

Song Xing Xing watched as Lu Xun turned to look at her with a worried look on his face and thought that it was a little strange. "What's going on?"

Lu Xun frowned.. "Xing Xing, I have a few questions I have to ask you."
