The Devil’s love

FLASHBACK

TEN YEARS AGO. ​​

CAFE DOWNTOWN.

"Dude, we should do this as soon as possible, what do you guys say?" nineteen years old Roger enthusiastically inquired.

"That is actually a really nice idea, I am not doing anything this summer," Guiren added.

"That sounds great but I need to ask Yuri first and make sure that she is free," Guang stated before taking out his phone and stepping out of the cafe to talk to his girlfriend.

Shrugging his shoulder's Yichan sighed, "I don't know guys, I don't feel like going anywhere."

Hooking his arms around Yichan's shoulder, Roger tried to cheer him up, "Oh come on man, don't ditch us like that." Without waiting for his reply, he added, "Look, I know that grandpa is pressuring you but you have to understand his concern as well, you are the only one he can rely on."

"What happened again? Grandpa Mo is forcing you to take over again?" When Yichan nodded his head, Yufan sighed, "He is not completely wrong though, I mean even grandpa wants me to take over and I am doing it. You just need to do what is right Yi, you can't run from reality for a long time."

Slumping on the chair, Yichan pinched his brows, "I just want to finish college and go somewhere to chill."

"How long are you planning to avoid the whole reality and keep running from it? Just face the truth Yicham, it has already been so many years," Guiren explained.

Taking a sip from his coffee, he sighed. Nineteen year old Yichan had too many things going on in his life which was exhausting him. With his mother leaving him at a very young age and marrying another man and his father abandoning him later, he grew up with his grandparents who loved him alot. But despite all the love and affection that his grandfather showered on him, there was always a constant nagging that he faced everyday.

Grandpa Mo wanted him to take over the company but Yichan had no intention of doing that. He was very tired after dealing with all the mess in his life and now all he wanted was to run away from everything and lead a separate life but only if it was so easy.

Patting his shoulder, Roger suggested, "Why don't we go somewhere peaceful for summers and spend some time together? This way you can get your thoughts sorted and we all will also have a great time together."

"Yes and we can also call Muchan over, it's been so many months since I saw him," Guiren added.

Just then, Guang arrived and informed, "Alright, I got Yuri's approval so we are in and—" Looking at Yufan, he added, "Hannah was with her and she also said yes but she has asked you to call her back."

Helplessly shaking his head, Roger chuckled, "Look at your guys all smitten by your girlfriends."

"Which makes me wonder, do you guys ask their permission even before you fart?" Guiren inquired before bursting into laughter.

"Don't laugh at us, wait until you get into a serious relationship. Trust me, after that you will ask for her permission even before you sneeze."

Rolling his eyes at his friends, Guiren retorted, "Oh please, I will be the one who will order my girlfriend around."

Taking a sip from his coffee, Yufan grinned, "We will see who will order whom."

Just then, two young girls entered the café.

"Brother Yufan," seventeen year old Yifei called her brother out.

Turning towards his sister, Yufan gestured her to come over.

With her hand clasped with the other girl's hand, Yifei jogged towards her brother and the others.

"What are the two of you doing here?" Roger inquired.

Placing her hand on her waist, Angella William puffed her cheeks, "Why are you saying that brother Roger? Don't you wanna see me?"

"I never said that—come here." Giving his sister a hug, he inquired, "Are you getting along with everyone? No, first you tell me whether you are liking this place or not."

Angella smiled and nodded her head, "This place is really very beautiful and Yifei is showing me around too so it's more fun."

Angella William was Roger's younger sister, she had arrived in the country only a month ago to continue her studies. Roger had no idea why Angella suddenly decided to change her educational institute but he just shrugged it off and supported her anyway.

After coming to the country, Angella became good friends with Han Yifei, Yufan's younger sister. They immediately clicked and got along quite well.

While Roger was asking her various questions, Angella was busy stealing glances at Yichan who did not even bother to look at her.

"So our plan is fixed right?" Guang inquired.

"What plan? Are you guys going somewhere?" Angella curiously inquired.

"We are planning to trip for the summer break," Roger answered.

"Oh, you are not coming home with me?" When he shook his head, she clutched onto his sleeves and requested, "Can I go with you too? It's been so many months since I did not go for a trip and I don't wanna go home alone during summers."

Hesitating for a while, Roger explained, "I don't think that it will be appropriate for you to accompany us Ange and I doubt if you will have fun all by yourself."

"I won't be alone—" Hooking her arms around Yifei's, she beamed, "Yifei can come with me."

Widening her eyes in shock, Yifei retorted, "What? Hmm, I don't wanna go anywhere."

"Oh come on Fei, it's gonna be so much fun," Angella insisted.

"I—" Yifei had no intention of crashing or forcing herself into her brother's plan. In fact, she had her own summer plans.

"Ange, don't force Yifei like that, I am sure that she has her own summer plans," Roger chided his sister.

"Fei, do you have summer plans already?" Yufan inquired.

"Hmm I was planning to go to aunt Grega's house and help her with her cats," Yifei answered.
