In front of them, were Fu Jin, holding his phone, eyes twinkling with amusement, He Yiqui and Mo Ginshen who were clapping wildly. It was then, Yu Yan noticed she was a mess. With the amount of sweat that had rolled down her face, she was sure she looked like a monster. Plus, Gu Jingze's friends just took her picture.
Mo Ginshen whistled out loud and Gu Jingze passed him a death glare. He wanted nothing than to slaughter his three stupid friends. Couldn't they have just watched silently and not interrupt him?
That was his first kiss, how dare they? He turned to look at Yu Yan again but was met with the silhouette of a fleeing Yu Yan. She ran so fast, her heels almost touching her shoulder blades and he burst into laughter.
Dazed, he ran his thumb over his lips. Was that a dream, it happened, didn't it? He turned towards his friends who had already folded their arms and tilted their heads towards the same side, the question evident on their faces. Gu Jingze frowned and tilted his head too, sending his telepathic question.
Gu Jingze; " How dare you ruin my first kiss?"
His three best friends; " What just happened?"
Yu Yan clumsily opened the door and made a dash for a room. She jumped on the bed and screamed into her pillow. She had just kissed Gu Jingze and she didn't even regret one bit. What was she turning too?
She picked up her phone and called Ying Yue immediately.
"You finally remember me " Ying Yue said looking a bit angry. Yu Yan just smiled at her. Ying Yue had gone for an important endorsement, why should she bother her?
Yu Yan; "How did everything go?"
Ying Yue; "Till now, fine. However, I still need this to participate in the unparalleled contest."
Yu Yan already knew that. The unparalleled contest was the fairest contest ever, in which singers world wide came to showcase their talent. Han Xue and Fu Jin where the only two musicians from Crisco to ever win that award.
Fu Jin had won because of his extremely great talent while Han Xue won by schemes. Though the competition was fair, the singers still bought others songs, bribe managers of each other, steal copyrights amongst others.
"Yu Yan, can't you just help me, help me this once." Ying Yue pleaded. Yu Yan already knew what Ying Yue was asking her to do, however, she wasn't planning on answering her.
"When you get back home, we'll discuss. I have a bigger problem." She said.
" What? Are you okay?" Ying Yue asked as she took a sip of her lemonade. The fact that it was a video call, made Yu Yan able to see everything that was going on. Though, it was just in the evening, Ying Yue was already in her nightdress ready to sleep.
"I.....I....." Ying Yue was astounded. What could it be that made Yu Yan stutter?
" I...I...mean... it is...IkissedGuJingze." Yu Yan blurted out at once.
" What? I didn't hear you." Ying Yue murmured as she fiddled with the straw.
" I kissed Gu Jingze." Yu Yan yelled, her face hot between her hands, refusing to dare look up.
Splaaaaattt. Ying Yue's lemonade went all over the screen and the call went off. Yu Yan scoffed. There went her only hope. Angrily, she reached for her laptop to fulfill a quest. Apparently, she couldn't also.
The gaming site was temporarily closed for a few hours as they were performing a huge restructuring on it. Yu Yan felt miserable, can her day go any better? From Gu Jingze's coming to her school, to her sneakers, to the fire alarms, to the parlor,to the kiss, to Ying Yue's reaction, to her favorite gaming site. She picked a pen and her diary and recorded it.
Today was her third worst day ever.
Still consumed with anger, she called Yu Yan again, this time, using her laptop.
Ying Yue; " Sorry, my assistant has gone to get me another phone."
Ha, just a lemonade splash, could it be that bad?
Seeing Yu Yan's puzzled expression, Ying Yue said;
"It fell into my cup. Wait, that was a very lame joke you know. For once, I can't believe that I took you serious. Yes, I've seen pictures of Gu Jingze coming to Winters but, wait, he came just because of you. You actually KISSED!!!!!" Ying Yue screamed.
" I'm done for. How can I undo it?" Yu Yan moped.
Ying Yue snickered happily.
" Sweetie, you can't undo it, wait, I have an idea..." Yu Yan jumped up immeadiately.
" Who kissed who first?" Ying Yue asked eagerly.
" Him, I swear it was him." Yu Yan yelled as if she was being accused of stealing an important jewelry.
"That means he's to blame." Ying Yue concluded.
"Yes, he's to blame." Yu Yan totally agreed,her love for her friend soaring higher and higher.
"I guess he trapped you, huh?"
"Yes, he trapped me." Yu Yan wondered how Ying Yue knew everything.
" And you couldn't pull away."
"Yes, I couldn't pull away." She was becoming impatient, what was Ying Yue driving at.
"Because you enjoyed it."
"Yes, I enjoyed it." She said, without thinking.
Her face flushed red, as she blinked repeatedly.
"What? Ying Yue....you scoundrel, hey!" She pointed at the laptop accusingly while Ying Yue burst into fits of laughter.
" What happened? You didn't like it?" she asked innocently.
"Yes." Yu Yan replied instantly.
"Yes, you liked it?" Ying Yue teased.
"I...I.. didn't...like it." Yu Yan yelled back.
"Mmhmm, say it again without stuttering and I'll believe." Ying Yue blatantly replied not minding her friend's red puffed cheeks and harsh breathing.
"Look, Yu Yan, you're old enough, old enough to fall in love. No one's going to hold you in bondage. You may never see a man as good as Gu Jingze, who will love you as much as he does."
" When did you turn to a relationship advisor? Who told you he even likes me?" Yu Yan retorted stubbornly, trying to avoid the open subject.
" You didn't see the way he was gazing at you while you were busy ruining his reputation? The way his aura changed when you entered?"
" What?...When did I ruin his reputation?"
"You implied he was too drunk to even help himself home."Ying Yue pointed out.
" But, he has lots of fans, they didn't even think twice before supporting me. That was all I could do to save myself! God, I was so foolish, hope nothing happened to him?"
Ying Yue smirked.
" You care!"
" I don't." Yu Yan spat back and Ying Yue shook her head.
" Just give him a chance. You can't dwell on the past forever. The feeling of being in love is the best."
Yu Yan snorted as she heard this. Her mind went straight to one person, Qing Qing.
"How about you? How is everything with Qing Qing?" She asked and Ying Yue's expression immediately turned funereal.
"He hasn't called even once, he's not replying to my text. I think he's still mad at the fact that I'm going to be engaged with someone else." Ying Yue replied.
" Just so you know, as long as this mystery guy is cool, I'm in support of your engagement." Yu Yan said, her eyes piqued up with sudden interest.
"Keep quiet and focus on how to steal another kiss from Gu Jingze! Better search him online." Ying Yue yelled and just before Yu Yan can pass her a snarky comment, she ended the call .
"Search who? Who will search who?" Yu Yan snorted and went into the bathroom. Normally, she always brushed her teeth and take a warm bath before sleeping.
She grabbed her toothbrush and stood in front of her mirror. Then, she remembered the kiss, the way she moved closer and tugged at Gu Jingze's upper lip, the way their tongues entwined.
"Haaaaaaaa" She screamed and shook her head rapidly in front of the mirror. Frustratedly, she dropped her tooth brush back and went to take her bath.
Soaked in warm soapy water, she felt more at ease. However, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jingze right in front of the bathtub.
"Tell her, I want to kiss you, Yu Yan." She screamed again, like that the body went and the room became empty. Was she hallucinating? She sat up immediately, looking perplexed.
Just next to her ear, she heard a faint whisper;
"Give me my kiss." The voice said, elongating the 's' into a snake like whisper. She turned and pictured Gu Jingze pouting as he blinked his eyes adorably.
"Aarghh!" She yelled out so loud, her vocal chords hurt.
After getting out of the not so enjoyable bath, she walked straight to her bed, and opened her laptop. Her fingers striking the keyboard fast, she typed Gu Jingze into the search engine.
So many things were on the internet. She saw that he had never kissed a woman before, she saw that he was the CEO of the gaming site, Online Life.
Just like that, her hands paused. He was the CEO? Her mind raced to all that happened today, everything was linked to him. She remembered the site was under restructuring.
With an evil smile, she exited the search engine. She was going to help him with the restructuring.
"You think you're smarter that me." She heard a voice next to her and she turned to see the face that had been haunting her. Why was she seeing his face everywhere.
Still in her towel, she balled her fists, with a frustrated yet determined look she yelled out loud;
"Gu Jingze!!!"
Just then, surrounded by three other men, planning devilishly on how to trap a particular lady, Gu Jingze sneezed out so loud.
"Aishooo..."
