Hey! You've stuck with me this far. You're amazing, yes, you. : )
So here's the chapter by GOD'S Grace.
————————-
He shall be like a tree,
A tree that's planted by the stream,
So guide my steps, O LORD
Aquilina had to stop typing the message on her phone when a phone call interrupted.
She dropped the strawberry she held in her other hand as she slid across the screen to pick it up.
"Ni hao!(Hello)" She said cheerily, feeling light.
Her mood had improved drastically since the day she had finally surrendered it all over to God.
She heard the light chuckle over the phone before the deep voice answered.
"Ni hao ma?(How are you?)"
"I'm good and you?"
"It's been better." Lu Xia sighed.
"Aww... does your arm still hurt?"
He had injured his arm previously.
"That's actually why I'm calling you, Xiao Jaye(Little Jaye)."
She groaned.
"Please don't call me that."
"Whatever—Xiao Jaye."
"I have a favour to ask of you." His tone got more serious.
"People with favours to ask don't irritate the other party first."
"Just listen, okay?"
"Fine," she sighed and lifted the aforementioned strawberry to her lips, taking a bite as she listened.
"You want me to do—what?" She almost choked on the fruit.
"Take my place in the upcoming tournament."
"Lu Xia!"
"Please."
She sighed and massaged her temples as she considered his offer.
He was supposed to lead Velvet Regent's Senior CTF team in a competition against their rival school, Oro.
(A/N: To not look too geeky, I will just explain it as a sort of computer security competition in this case. :) )
It was also attended by Royals and the very rich, just as theirs was.
"But I'm not even in your grade."
"You're a surgeon for crying out loud. And besides, you could win the tournament singlehandedly if you wanted."
"Please, Xiao Jaye?" His voice sounded so soft now.
