It was only three minutes away from Lu Jiao's birthday and Yun Lihua, the devil, had not come to their basecamp. Except Fan Linlin, all of The Sunshine Squad members were ranting incessantly. "Where's Yun Lihua? Does she need do this to me, her bestie? I've reminded her too many times yesterday but she actually forgot about it this morning. If i didn't wake her up, she probably... no, she will definitely not come to my birthday party . OMG, i'm so frustrated! Where is she? Where is she?" Lu Jiao started her ranting while walking forth and back in front of their basecamp. It almost the designated hour of their agreement but Yun Lihua had not come.
Luo Yu, who was slightly irritated with Lu Jiao's incessant and meaningless talk said while supressing his current mood. "Well, just wait. She will definitely come. Has she every broke her promise? Up until now, she never did right? So just be patient, sit obediently and wear your birthday cone. You look like a hungry hen looking for worms when you walk forth and back like that."
Lu Jiao was about to reply but Feng Ye's words came out faster than hers. "Tsk tsk tsk. Luo Yu, we all know that you like Lihua, so do not defend her so straightforwardly. Look, it is only three minutes away from 9 AM. This time, Lihua is indeed at wrong and you defend her. It seems that love is indeed blind."
"Who said i like Lihua? you? Little Jiao or Linlin? I never like Lihua because she isn't my type. I like mature woman who was older than me. It will be great if she has a great body. Moreover, it is just still THREE MINUTES away. The time has not up yet" retorted Luo Yu as he enunciated the words three minutes clearly to Feng Ye.
"Really? But it doesn't seem so. Last night, i saw you sneaked out of our room to give Lihua your favorite drink. And if i my eyes didn't fail me, there was a note on it" said Feng Ye. Last night, when he was about to sleep, Luo Yu stepped out of the room silently like a thief while holding his favorite beverage. Feng Ye, who was curious at that time quietly followed him only to find Luo Yu put the drink in front of Yun Lihua's room. He also wrote some words on the sticky note and stuck it onto the bottle.
Caught bare handed, Luo Yu flustered. His secret mission last night failed. What made it worse, he didn't aware that Feng Ye followed him and saw every single thing he did. What Feng Ye said was fact and he could not refute it. His face redden like a ripe tomato. Inavoidably, it made the others laugh.
"Hahahaha.... Luo Yu, Luo Yu. Which nth time attempt it was?" asked Lu Jiao.
"It's the hundreth time." blurted Lu Jiao unconsciously.
The laughters were even laughter after they heard Luo Yu's reply, even the usually calm Fan Linlin could not stop herself from laughing.
"Stop...Please stop laughing. My stomach hurts. Hahahaha...." said Lu Jiao as she clutches her stomach with both hands. She inhaled deeply to stop her laughing. After calming herself, she continued to rant because she was getting more agitated. "It's one minute away. Where is she? where is she?"
"This time probably she will..." before Feng Ye could finished his sentence, a loud voice came from afar.
"Lu Jiaoooooooooo....!!!" screamed Yun Lihua while running quickly to the basecamp. She stopped in front of it while panting heavily. Sweat dropped from her forehead profusely. Before anyone could ask, she requested, "Water please."
The members who was stunned by her screaming, after listening to the request returned to their consciousness. Then Luo Yu gave her a glass of water.
"Thank you." said Yun Lihua with smiled plastered on her face.
After seeing Lihua's smile while he didn't have any mental preparation, Luo Yu's ears and face got redder than it was. Fortunately, before the other could see him, Lu Jiao went forward with hands folded on her chest and sneered, "Oh, it's you. I thought you forgot about my birthday."
To placate Lu Jiao, Yun Lihua sugar-coated her words and shamelessly boot-licked her, "How could i forget about your birthday? You are so cute, so beautiful and so lovely. You are so memorable. It's impossible for me to forget everything about you baby."
The others rolled their eyes while Lu Jiao smirked. As a young girl, it was impossible for her not to be pleased with such words. She coquettishly said, "I'm indeed cute, beautiful and lovely and it's impossible for you to forget everything about me. By the way, where's my gift?" Lu Jiao extended her hands to Yun Lihua's who was still rummaging her handy bag.
"No this...not this one. Lu Jiao, wait a moment. It's in my bag but i forget which one." asked Yun Lihua for time out so she could searched the gift. After some seconds, she finally found it and gave it to her. "This is my birthday gift for you."
"Woahhh...It looks so luxurious. Is it really for me?" Lu Jiao looked at Yun Lihua with eyes asking for a confirmation. Her eyes brimmed with lights
"Yes. It's for you."
As if she was a child who was given her favorite lollipop, Lu Jiao enthusiastically but carefully opened the box.
The box was not big in size, probably only a size of a notebook but it is wrapped with golden paper that surely expensive for them.
"Why are you so careful? Just let me open it!" Luo Yu who had been ignored with the other two suddenly popped up and took the gift.
"No. Don't open it. Just let me do it. I want to save the wrapper too." cried Lu Jiao. The wrapper looked exquisite and expensive so it would be a waste to torn it into pieces.
"It's just a wrapper. You can buy it later." chided Feng Ye as he started to join the fry. He took the box from Luo Yu and roughly opened it.
"No. I don't want to buy even if i could. It is from Lihua so i need to keep it! GIVE MY GIFT BACK TO ME!" seeing her birthday gift being roughly opened by Feng Ye, Lu Jiao panicked and her voice slightly raised. The situation tensed up and it was the counselor time to get into action.
"Just let her be. If you still insist, just imagine how your favorite belongings is taken away from you. Do you want it? Luo Yu, if your favorite beverage is drunk by the others what do you want to do? And Feng Ye, if your computer is being taken away from you, how is you feeling?"
"Well, if my favorite beverage is drunk by Lihua, i'm completely willing." murmured Luo Yu with voice only he could hear.
"Well, if someone do that to my computer, i'll break all of his legs." replied Feng Ye.
After the situation eased, Yun Lihua said and hugged Lu Jiao. "Little Jiao, Happy Birthday."
