She was in her room when she noticed the presence of someone coming towards her apartment. She didn't take a quick cognizance of who the person was, she was only sure it was a male but had failed to predict who exactly he was.
So, to be sure who it was, she stepped outside, just as Jinyong was right about knocking on the door, Fang got it opened.
"To what do I own this visit?" She asked.
"I was in the neighborhood, so I thought it would be nice to come say hi to you." He replied with a smile on his face.
with dissatisfaction, she said, "Oh, that's quite thoughtful of you. If I may ask, who have you come to see in the neighborhood?"
"A friend of mine who just packed here some days back, he asked me to come know his new residence, I was quite shocked myself when I discovered he's now your neighbor"
Wang Fang was not satisfied with the explanation Jinyong had just given her, plus she didn't know she was having a new neighbor. She quickly thought to herself that Jinyong had told a lie to cover up his real intentions of showing up in her house.
" I don't get, there's a new tenant in this neighborhood and I have not seen him or even heard about it? this is really funny though, maybe my busy schedule had contributed to why I barely get information about stuff like this." She blamed herself aloud as if she believed what Jin had told her.
"Enough of all these, you don't seem to believe me so stop acting as if you did believe me. I've been standing your doorway with you for the past five minutes now, aren't you going to usher me into your home? or am I not welcomed at all?"
"So sorry about that, please forgive the ill-treatment I have had on you. Please, come in."
"You sure do not know how to treat a potential visitor, don't worry am going to put you through that, but you're gonna have to pay a tutorial fee for that" Jinyong teased her as they went inside.
"What visitor?... the one that didn't get me informed before showing up or is there another one here, like right now?" Fang threw teasing words back at him the same way he had done, she turned toward his direction as she was still talking, and gave him a teasing smile.
"You are funny you know? not just funny, also interesting, but sometimes you act weird and unbelievable."
"Look who's talking, well, I've got no time to go into arguments with you. Please what do I offer you? before you start telling me how to treat you.
" Don't bother offering me anything, after all, I will soon be taking my leave. So, how have you been doing?
"I've been doing well. You sure don't want anything? even a glass of water you don't want to have?"
"Fang, you just said I didn't inform you before coming, so I would definitely have something the day I would inform you before coming, okay?" He said, as soon as he noticed her countenance has changed, he smiled at her.
He Jinyong had actually come to see his friend in Fang's neighborhood. He was surprised to know that his friend had become Fang's neighbor. Although he was kind of cool with it, after all, that would pave way for him to actualize his plans.
Jinyong was very fond of Fang that he barely had a long night rest, he was almost always having a short night because of the thought of her.
sometimes, it would to him as if the night was too long with the hope of seeing fang the next day. Jinyong was beginning to act like a teenager who was just falling in love for the very first time.
Fang, on the other hand, was begging to abhor feelings for Jinyong but was scared of making it obvious before him, with the belief that that would make her look cheap and desperate before jinyong or even make him start thinking less important of her.
so she just decided to be acting weird instead.
"Are you this serious most times?" Jinyong threw the question at Fang. When he noticed she was no longer smiling or talking to him.
"Like how do you mean?" Fang asked
"You're not smiling and you suddenly stopped talking to me."
"Oo that! maybe that's because you didn't inform me before coming. What do you think?
Nevertheless, we've had some funny and interesting moments when you just came. Isn't that the truth?"
"I don't know what to say, I beg to take my leave now since I wasn't invited in the first place, and it seems am not welcomed either." He speaks as he stood up and walked out of Fang's apartment.
Fang had waved him goodbye without even seeing him off. Was she trying to be strict and doing it more than is necessary?
"I've I done the right thing by talking to him in that manner? or maybe I'm just being the real me now," she said to herself in soliloquy.
Wang Fang jumped on her bed after Jinyong had left, she was a bit relieved and comfortable now. All the time Jinyong had been with her, she wasn't in her right self, she was this shy type but had done well by not making it pronounced in front of jinyong for the second time.
He Jinyong had already tagged her as the shy type on their last outing, hence this pretense of not being shy. She had acted to be free and jovial this time around, she had acted the opposite of herself all in the name if proving to Jinyong she wasn't that shy as he thought.
Although, she was not a good actress. She had failed to play the role well, she started well and couldn't end well. At a point, she was mute with a frowned face. She had not talked to He Jinyong for some minutes, that had made her failure to act well.
