Li Xue didn't reply to her but her smiled deepened which further intrigued Feng Yi Lan. She wanted to ask what that gift was about but then seeing Li Xue already desperate to unwrap the parcel, she decided to wait and see herself.

Her eyes trailed after every move of Li Xue's fingers as she focused to see her reveal what exactly was there packed inside that box.

Li Xue slowly unwrapped the box and the more she got the sight of thing inside the more her eyes twinkled for it. At that moment she looked no less than a kid who received the Christmas gift a way before the month of Christmas.

Feng Yi Lan didn't understand her expression and her brows jutted more when she saw that inside the box there was nothing but a thick book which looked like some kind of fictional novel. In the angle she was sitting, getting the clear view of the title was difficult, so she strained her neck a bit high to read it.

On the cover page of the book, there was the face of a very pretty girl whose pair of eyes held great confidence. And it read, 'Raven Beauty - Devil's Only Survival Choice.'

There was nothing special about it. It looked like any other novel that they used to read in their high school days. In those times, she still remembers both she and Li Xue would hunt every book store and library to get good stories to read. But then as the time passed and they grew more matured, their passion towards reading faded away or she could say that it got somewhere suppressed within their other things.

"Girl, are you going to tell me what this is all about. Are you going back to your past where you used to read and collect fictional novels? I mean I can't see anything better than that." Feng Yi Lan spoke, pursing her lips towards end of her words.

Li Xue shrugged nonchalantly, "And I also don't see anything wrong in that."

She said and her nonchalant words like that earned a frustrated grunt from Yi Lan.

Li Xue looked up at her and couldn't help but chuckle at her expressions. Her nose was flaring as if Li Xue didn't explain to her the next moment, she would not think twice before wreaking havoc like a kid. Can't blame for Li Xue was aware how non consistent Yi Lan's mood has gotten these days. Even the slightest and simplest things could bring Yi Lan to the edge and Li Xue knew it well.

Holding back her chuckle, Li Xue put on a gentle smile over her face as he put the cover and the box away and brought just the book to the show. "This is one of the simple wishes I made to your brother and he made sure to fulfil it, Yi Lan. A few days back I asked him to get me a story to read that will be similar to ours yet very different than ours. And he found me this piece."

"..." Feng Yi Lan didn't understand. She once again took the look of the book in Li Xue's hand as she heard her continue.

"Your brother wanted to keep this as a sacrifice, but I saw it the history of her laptop when I last took it for browsing something. Maybe he forgot to clean his history data."

"You wanted to read your kind of story?" Feng Yi Lan asked, her brows jutted together, trying to comprehend Li Xue's thoughts. "Why?"

Li Xue shook her head. "Mhm-hm. You didn't hear that, Yi Lan. I said I wanted to read a story that will be similar to ours, yet very different than us."

"Isn't that the same?"

"Nope, it isn't." Li Xue said as she looked down at the book and continued, "This book might have a tinge of similarity but I have read the brief of it, it is on a completely different level. There is betrayal but that didn't make the girl retreat to her cocoon. Rather it has given her the purpose to create hell for the one who betrayed her. Yun Meiyi holds the power that the world doesn't know. The world thinks that she is at their mercy, but who has the capability to mercy the woman on whose mercy Devil's life depended."

Li Xue said as a prideful smile covered her lips. She looked at Feng Yi Lan and added, "Hence even though the story has some hints of similarity, Yun Meiyi's life is entirely different than mine. Not to mention the Devil. His charms are just enough to make people swoon to death. and later ignore the chance to be in Heaven"

Feng Yi Lan blinked. "Devil as like the real devil from the gates of hell?" She asked to confirm and Li Xue paused for a moment before giving a flutter of laughter.

Shaking her head, she rejected, "Nope! Devil as in the one who ruled the realm named as Hell."

Feng Yi Lan's eyes beamed with curiosity the moment she heard Li Xue clarify. Adjusting in her position a bit more eagerly, she looked at Li Xue better and was ready to ask, "Girl, that about …"

But before even she could say anything, Li Xue shook her head in disapproval, "No, no, now, Yi Lan, I am not going to tell you whole of it, not that I have read it. But even if I have read it, you know I never had a habit of giving spoilers. You can get one for yourself to read and ease all the curiosity you have. Also, it's a great opportunity to revive our passion for reading once again. Remember how wonderful those days were when we had novels as another best buddy?"

Feng Yi Lan pouted before pursing her lips. "Fine, don't give a spoiler. I am not going to ask. I will simply get myself one and read on my own. Hmph!" She hmphed and at her kiddish act, Li Xue couldn't help but smile.

While Feng Yi Lan averted her gaze, her eyes caught the calendar card that reminded her of the dates. "Oh gosh, how did I not notice this before." She almost jerked up, surprising Li Xue.

Li Xue followed her gaze but couldn't understand what put Feng Yi Lan on the egg shells. There was a clear expression of terror on her face. "What happen Yi Lan? What did you forget this time?"

"You." Feng Yi Lan at once replied which further put Li Xue in confusion. She was about to ask what does that mean, but just at that moment, she felt that it wasn't needed as the next moment, Feng Yi Lan said all of it on her own. "You are nearing your due dates; do you even remember?"

Li Xue pursed her lips. How can she forget it? She has already been counting the days for so long. "Of course, I remember, Yi Lan. Why would I not?"

"Then how come?"

How come what, Yi Lan?"

"How can you let me stay by your side and send my brother to the company? Shouldn't he be here taking care of you?" Feng Yi Lan said, her expression not for once easing up. "Actually, I shouldn't blame you. It's all on him. For all these months, he kept me away as if I was some virus that would infect you but now that it was actually a sensitive time, he asked me here to be with you while he left for the office. How insensitive and careless."

"It's okay, Yi Lan. Shufen didn't want to leave but the condition at the company and I forced him to go. Also, it's not such serious. Even though the due date is nearing, there are still a lot of days to pass. You don't have to panic today is not the …"

Before Li Xue could complete, she paused. Discomfort flashing on her face. Feng Yi Lan didn't understand immediately but in another fraction of second, she kind of was able to guess it somehow.

"Li Xue, don't joke that the day has turned to be today?" Feng Yi Lan was really not ready to accept that. Not even in her craziest dreams. She, herself, was pregnant. How the hell will she be able to … Holy Fu*k! She cursed internally realizing that she might not her misread it.
