Chapter 9 - Dejected Lu Qian

Even he was quite confused by his own behaviour as he has never escorted anyone till now. But this time was an exception. The reason for his behaviour was unknown to him. He scratched his head but decided to forget about it. When they were heading to spa they made some small talks. That's when he got to know more about the young ladies.

Lu Qian and Zhao Mei realised from their conversation that he was a senior student in X university but work here as a part timer. He was also surprised to know that they were going to be his junior in the university. Mother Zhao was happy to meet him as she asked him to care of them if possible and also asked him to come for dinner. But he refused her politely.

Lu Qian's eyes were shining when she heard that he is a student of economics department. She was happy as she realized she would be able to meet him again in the university. Zhao Mei laughed lightly as she understood what Lu Qian was thinking.

When they reached the door of spa he Jason said, "We have arrived at the spa". Then he smiled slightly and bowed politely one more time before he left. All the time Lu Qian didn't manage to say a single word to him as he was talking to mother Zhao. Zhao Mei saw her downcast face and controlled herself to not laugh out loud. She went to Lu Qian and said, "Qianqian what happened? Why are you sad? Let's go in." Zhao Mei said with an innocent expression on her face.

When mother Zhao heard that she turned back and asked, "What happened Qianqian?"

Lu Qian was flustered when she heard mother Zhao's question because she couldn't tell her real reason. She glared at Zhao Mei as she stutter, "N.. nothing aunty". And walked ahead to open the door.

They spent rest of the day in spa relaxing. In the evening they returned back to Zhao Mei's house for dinner. Father Zhao has prepared dinner for them. They enjoyed the dinner together. After dinner Lu Qian returned to the room early as she has to call her parents. Zhao Mei stayed back to help her mother to wash dishes. After finishing all the work they returned to their rooms.

When Zhao Mei entered her room a flying pillow greeted her. She was shocked but due to her quick reflex she reacted quickly and catched the pillow before it hit her face.

Raising her eyebrow she looked at the attacker. Lu Qian pouted asshe was unsuccessful in her attack. Zhao Mei threw the pillow on the bed and went towards the bookshelf to pick a book and sat at the windowsill. Feeling a intense gaze she looked up from her book when she caught Lu Qian glaring at her intensely.

"Why are you glaring at me?", asked Zhao Mei. She was confused at her friend's behaviour.

"I am angry at you. Don't talk to me", Lu Qian pouted her lips at her friend.

"What did I do?" Zhao Mei looked at her with a raised eyebrow as confusion was written all over her face.

"Don't act like an innocent person. Why did you tease me in front of aunt at the spa?"

Sudden realization dawned on her as Zhao Mei asked, "Did you liked Jason that much?"

"Didn't you saw how handsome he is. He is so polite when he talks". Said Lu Qian with love struck expression on her face. Suddenly she remembered that Zhao Mei has not answered her question so she turned back to her, "Why did you tease me in front of aunty? What if aunty has doubted me?"

"It's just temporary infatuation. You know that right. You will forget about him soon. So why so serious? And even if mother knows about it she is not going to judge you". Shrugged Zhao Mei.

"Noooo. It's not infatuation this time Meimei. Please believe me. It was like falling in love at first sight". Said Lu Qian very seriously.

"We will see in future. Now go and sleep tomorrow uncle and aunty Lu are returning back. We have to go and pick them up at airport in morning".

Lu Qian sighed. "Yaa. I will sleep early. You sleep early too. Good night". She lied on bed but she was not able to sleep as image of Jason keep flashing in her mind.

Zhao Mei returned to her reading. After some time she got up and placed the book on shelf then went to sleep when she realized that Lu Qian was still awake. "What happened Qianqian? Why are you still awake?"

"Meimei I can't sleep. I can't forget about Jason. His face keeps flashing in my mind". Lu Qian said while showing her puppy eyes.

Zhao Mei sighed. "It's nothing Qianqian. Close your eyes and eventually you will fall asleep".

"Yaa right. Who am I asking help from? The Great Aromantic Queen".

Zhao Mei was shocked by the way she called her. Before she could retort Lu Qian rolled her eyes at Zhao Mei and went to sleep. Zhao Mei followed her and slept on the bed.
