Soon it was the day of the exam for Peking University, Xiao Xie already prepare but she is still a little nervous, when she gets to the front of the exam centre, she stop and did not want to enter into the place because she is really nervous, the parents of some other students were with them, though Xiao Xie’s parents wants to go with her but she ask them not to come with her since they have work to do
Billy on the other hand is not taking any college exam, he will have to totally take over the company after high school and further with online classes, as Xiao Xie is still looking nervous, Billy suddenly appear beside her, Xiao Xie did not notice since her concentration is on the exam centre “are you nervous?” Billy suddenly said softly into Xiao Xie’s ear “oh! You scared me!” Xiao Xie let out in fret because she did not know that Billy is already beside her
“I don't know you can be this nervous because of exam” Billy said to Xiao Xie “here” Billy stretch out the rose flower he brought before Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie smile seeing the flower “take this flower with you to the exam hall” Billy said and continue “when you feel nervous look at this flower then you will remember that my love is with you” he said and smile broadly
Xiao Xie giggles hearing what Billy said “what kind of thing is that?” Xiao Xie feel that Billy is been childish by saying something like that “am telling the truth” Billy said with a serious face and Xiao Xie laughs as she imagining herself taking the rose flower into the exam hall and doing what Billy said
“See, you are now laughing” Billy said looking at Xiao Xie happily, Xiao Xie smile as she already forget that she is nervous a little while ago “I laugh because that is too childish, how can I look at flower while writing exam” Xiao Xie keep laughing because it seems funny to her “what do you mean? Billy said and forges annoyance “did you mean my love is childish?” Billy pout his lips angrily “no, no” Xiao Xie quickly wave her hand to object because she thinks that Billy is really angry “I don't mean that, I will surely look at the flower and remember your love is with me” Xiao Xie said with a mocking smile as she look at the flower in her hand
“Are you trying to mock my love?” Billy said simply trying to find fault with what Xiao Xie said “then give the flower to me” Billy said still forging annoyance and try to collect the flower from Xiao Xie but Xiao Xie quickly hide the behind her, as Billy wants to collect the flower from Xiao Xie and Xiao Xie hiding the flower, Billy end up hugging Xiao Xie
When Billy sees that he hugs Xiao Xie, he decide to continue hugging, Xiao Xie blinks her eyes as Billy continue to hug her and did not let her go, though Xiao Xie did not hug Billy back but she let him her hug because she really wants his hug to calm her nerves, Xiao Xie is relief because they are not wearing uniform since they are not in school, so no one will talk or criticize them “I just want to hug you good luck” Billy whisper to Xiao Xie’s ear softly and Xiao Xie smile hearing what Billy said
After some time Billy let go of Xiao Xie from his embrace but still hold her hands and look to her face “go in and do a good job, am really sending my love with you” Billy said to her, Xiao Xie smile calmly with Billy’s words “I will wait for you nearby until you finish your exam” Bill said to Xiao Xie and release her hands that his holding, Xiao Xie feel more relax with Billy assuring words, she is really happy seeing him appear beside her to comfort her when she needs his comfort, Xiao Xie feels that Billy is always beside him when he needed someone, Xiao Xie keep smiling at Billy “alright, I will keep your love with me” Xiao Xie turns to leave but then she turns back again and hug Billy suddenly while smiling “thank you” Xiao Xie mutters and let go of Billy then run inside the exam centre without looking back, Billy smile satisfying with how Xiao Xie hugs him, Billy feels on the moon and he decides to cheer Xiao Xie up the more “Xie, fighting” ( meaning, do your best) Billy said and smile broadly, Xiao Xie hears Billy and smile but she did not look back

After the exam, Xiao Xie comes out smiling; Billy is standing at the front of the exam centre waiting for her, when Xiao Xie sees Billy still waiting, she quickly run to me him and hugs him with a smile “how is your exam?” Billy ask and smile to her also “I thought it will be difficult but it is actually easy and also whenever I almost forget something I will look at the flower you gave me, it really seems that you are sitting there” Xiao Xie said giggling happily like a child
“Really” Billy look surprise and continue “see, I told you my love is with you” Billy let out proudly but he is surprise to know that Xiao Xie actually take his words serious because he just said that so she feel less nervous but he did not know that Xiao Xie will actually take it serious but Billy is happy that Xiao Xie find the question easy
Xiao Xie then looks at him with a serious face “have you been standing here all along?” Xiao Xie ask because she met Billy at the point she left him “of course, don't I say I will wait for you” Billy said proudly but he is not actually telling the truth “why?” Xiao Xie look worried “can't you find somewhere near to wait?” Xiao Xie said because she thinks that Billy really wait for her there
Billy look at Xiao Xie’s serious face and smile then he use his hands to pull Xiao Xie’s cheeks playfully “you cute thing, look how worried you are, I was only joking with you” Billy confess smiling and continues “I waited in a coffee shop nearby, when I know that the exam will end soon, I came to stand here to be the first person to wish you well” Billy tells Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie's tensed face then ease when she hears what Billy said
But Xiao Xie look at Billy’s face “since you are here to wish me well, what have you been doing since I came out?” she eye him with expectation, Billy did not seems to understand what Xiao Xie mean, so he keep looking at her “wish me well” Xiao Xie said angrily, Billy smile seeing Xiao Xie’s angry face, so he use his hand to pat Xiao Xie’s head and stroke her hairs lovingly “success in your exam” Billy said and smile
Xiao Xie look flustered as electric shock instantly runs through her body when Billy touch her head, she only thinks that Billy will wish her well but she did not know that Billy touch her head and stroke her hairs too, Xiao Xie seems transfixed and don’t know how to react “let quickly go and find something to eat” Billy’s words brings Xiao Xie out of her daze, Billy hold her hand and they went into a small restaurant near the place
They order for food and start to eat lunch together quietly, as they were eating, Billy halt and look at Xiao Xie peaceful demo then Billy gets worried thinking about their relationship “Xie” Billy slowly call Xiao Xie “if there is a situation in which you have to leave me in the future, will you leave me?” Billy look up to Xiao Xie’s face and ask seriously, since he knows that his engagement with Xu Shan will soon be announced and he knows that in as much as his grandfather is alive, he will not be able to avoid been engage to Xu Shan, Billy hopes that even if Xiao Xie gets to know, she will understand him and will not leave him
Xiao Xie looks up at Billy’s face when she heard his question “what did you mean by that? How will I leave you?” Xiao Xie smirk and continue eating not taking the question serious because she don’t know why Billy ask such question, Billy sigh with Xiao Xie’s reply because he knows that she did not understand what he means “I just want you to promise me that no matter what, you will not leave me” Billy said with all seriousness
Xiao Xie glances at Billy’s face and smile “why are you been serious? Are you trying to cheat on me?” Xiao Xie ask jokingly “Xie, please be serious, I really mean it” Billy look distress with how Xiao Xie take what he is saying for a joke, Xiao Xie then becomes serious, she look at Billy's face and then at the necklace that Billy gave to her, she touch the necklace and smile “I promise” Xiao Xie replies sincerely “really!” Billy exclaim happily “you cannot go back on your promise no matter what” Billy said to Xiao Xie as a warning but Xiao Xie ignore him and continue to eat
“If you go back on your promise, I will definitely come for you” Billy said really serious “okay, you wish” Xiao Xie reply and did not take Billy's words serious because she don’t know that Billy really mean what he said, Billy makes Xiao Xie promise him because he knows that himself and his grandfather will be having dinner with Xu Shan and her grandfather tonight to discuss about their engagement, also Billy knows that if Xiao Xie gets to know who he really is, she might decide to leave him, so Billy make Xiao Xie promise him because he thinks it is the only way he can trap Xiao Xie.
