The chase

Xi Song's POV

After an overworked group meeting, I could finally answer his calls.

I massaged my neck, laughing at the same old joke.

Me: So, did you fail again?

Ling Xiao: I doubt if you're really my best friend. But this time, your brother grabbed the chance and turned it into the best proposal.

Frowning at his words, I quickly leaned forward and took the phone close to my ears.

Me: What? You finally proposed to her?

Ling Xiao: She was sobbing. It was heart-touching, I know.

I pressed my lips together, trying not to cringe while pulling his leg.

Me: Are you sure she was not crying in disappointment at your proposal?

Ling Xiao: Yaa! Do you want to die? I'll not let you enter my wedding, but then again, you're my only best friend.

Me: I think I won't be able to make it. The work in the US is getting out of my reach. I need to keep track.

Ling Xiao: You can't come to my wedding, but you surely can take the time to fly back once a year just to see her from afar, right?

Me: Huh?
