A lot of youngsters in the nightclub immersed themselves with the interesting EDM music played by the appointed deejay in the luxurious club in the middle of the city A. The spotlight with variant colour illuminated the 3-floor building by following the music beat heightened their spirit and made them dance joyously. Spending their night after an exhausted day.
Li Da Zhan and his friends, Yu Yao and Long Wei did not mixed with the crowd. They opt to enjoy the view at the vast place provided on the second floor. The floor designated for elite regular customers of the LED Club. The music was clear and they could see people on the dance floor from their place.
The three of them left the Final Year Party 20 minutes ago. They found it was a lame party, with slow background music, bored them to death, while they wanted some fun. So they decided to look for it.
While Yu Yao and Long Wei talked about the party, Li Da Zhan choose to closed his eyes and rest his body comfortably against the broad and soft couch he settled on. Just three of them. They never allowed anyone disturbing their area even the girls were forbidden to join them.
The loud music could not ease his mind from the incident happened at the balcony earlier. He felt something in his heart wrenched after Chen Rou Jiao punch him and expressed her feelings to him.
Somehow, he questioned his doubted towards Chen Rou Jiao. Maybe Chen Rou Jiao was not the person he thought she could be.
Li Da Zhan had a good impression of Chen Rou Jiao since he saw her at the first day of college. Her lively and good-natured personalities caught his attention thus he wanted to get close to her. However, due to the different faculty, they rarely met.
Only by chance, they being in the same group, Li Da Zhan took the opportunity to get close to her. From then on, he could tell Chen Rou Jiao was a good person.
However, that very day had destroyed his perceptions on her.
It's happened last year. He and his friends accidentally heard Chen Rou Jiao had a conversation with her senior. Seems serious so he get closer, wanted to listen to their coversation. They were talking about someone but Li Da Zhan could not get a name yet, so he patiently waited.
"Really? Li Da Zhan mother left him and his father because they were poor back then?" Li Da Zhan widened his eyes in shock. They were talking about him and he peered at Chen Rou Jiao's expression, looked so fascinated with it.
"Yes. That's why, you shall not get closed to him." that senior warned her effortlessly. He even leaned to her, whispered something that Li Da Zhan care not to know. He was still in state of disbelief because Chen Rou Jiao knew his past.
He saw Chen Rou Jiao expression slowly turned dark, she glared at the senior, "Such a crow in the jungle who think he is a phoenix in heaven."
That discovery caught him off guard. He never thought Chen Rou Jiao could uttered those word casually without feel guilty. What shocked him the most, those words was once said by someone who left him and his father 15 years ago. The exact same words.
That was the time he swear to hate her forever. For him, Chen Rou Jiao was same like his mother. Always looked down on others without understand their struggles. And as a commoner like Chen Rou Jiao, she managed to say that without knowing her own place. He left that place immediately. Not bothered to listen more of her insult.
Li Da Zhan accidentally chewed his lower lips, the place Chen Rou Jiao punched him. Hence the fresh wound made him hissed in pain.
He opened his eyes and sat properly on the couch but still leaned his back against the sofa. He gulp the blood which taste like rusty thing in one go.
"What's wrong with you, man?" Long Wei who laughing with Yu Yao cracked, turned his head towards Li Da Zhan.
"Nothing." Li Da Zhan slightly smiled. He fixed his position, made him comfortable before he grabbed a glass of beverage on the table and took a sip.
"What are you guys talking about? Sounds fun."
"Chen Rou Jiao rejected Yu Yao confession. Now he distressed."
Yu Yao when he distressed, he will tell nonsense jokes about how the scene likely to be.
Like now, he told Long Wei that Chen Rou Jiao should be clasp their hands together. He wouldn't be there with them because he had rent whole movie theatre to watch movie alone with her.
"I even paid for an amazing fireworks show for her tonight. We supposed to watch it together." Yu Yao leaned lazily at his couch, sulking like a baby who did not get his lolipop.
Li Da Zhan recall the enormous fireworks at the balcony earlier. Where he witness Chen Rou Jiao exclaimed happily watching the beautiful explosion. He lowered his eyelids, stared at Yu Yao in disbelief and annoyed.
"So, it was your doing?" his asked in a flat tone.
Yu Yao looked at Li Da Zhan, "Of course. It took me about seven days to find the best fireworks. But it totally wasted."
Li Da Zhan wanted to say to Yu Yao that Chen Rou Jiao actually loved his effort but that thinking stay safely in his mind, never had intention to tell his hopeless friend the truth.
"Why would you had feeling to her? There were many other girls that suit you better." he always confused with Yu Yao great affection toward Chen Rou Jiao. As if she was the innocent goddess, but the fact she was a wicked witch.
"No. Chen Rou Jiao is the best for me. She is kind and full of ambition. A good match for me."
Long Wei sneered and chuckled listening to his nonsense. He wondered how a manly face like Yu Yao could conveyed such a sentimental expression.
"Aiya... Your hopeless romantic confession might make our Da Zhan furious. Ya know?"
Yu Yao checked on Li Da Zhan expression immediately. He just realise how much hatred Li Da Zhan had with his love of his life. He just did not know why.
Long Wei cleared his throat. He leaned his back at the couch like others and put his arms on top of the couch, like a boss.
"Why are you hate her so much, Da Zhan? I never acknowledge she did something wrong to you before."
"Yeah, Ah Wei has his point. You even blame her for the things she never did."
Li Da Zhan thought Long Wei and Yu Yao already forget that incident. Well he could not blame them. They never knew how he was hurt by Chen Rou Jiao, so he just exhaled deeply.
"None of your business."
Long Wei click his tongue. He knew Li Da Zhan would answer that. After he and Yu Yao befriended with that cold guy for 10 years and counting, they acknowledged this behaviour of his. Always secretive. No matter how hard he and Yu Yao forced him to tell what was on his mind, he never tell. Ever.
Yu Yao suddenly feel anxious about Chen Rou Jiao.
"You.. will not do anything to her anymore right?"
Li Da Zhan lifted his shoulders. Acted like oblivious with his friend's question.
"I don't know. Maybe yes. Maybe no."
Yu Yao and Long Wei looked at each other with fear and disagreed.
Long Wei quite concerned with his comment.
"Don't do something that you will regret in the future." Long Wei spared a sharp glared to his friend.
Li Da Zhan chuckled. He leaned towards Long Wei, an evil expression appeared on his handsome face. "We will see who will regret later." he ended his words with a smirk, endured the pain of his wound significantly.
They looked at him silently. Only the loud music played by the deejay, and cheered from the people in LED Club could make them forget about what Li Da Zhan said.
