The students were getting out of class still talking about what they witnessed for their first lesson. They couldn't wait to relate all what happened to their friends.
Ye Ziyun was still on her seat seemingly waiting for something. Shen Yue was still by her side not bulging, waiting for her to make a move.
Ye Ziyun was exasperated. What if they were going to be engaged in a year? Does he plan to follow her and 'accompany' her in everything every day forever? She tried sending pleading looks toward Wang Wei but he didn't even look at her yet.
If her friend and crush turned out to be a coward, she would have to take the initiative as her aunt advised her to.
She stood abruptly, surprising Shen Yue by her sudden actions and stomped furiously towards her friend. She initiated the conversation :
'' Wang Wei, we need to talk! "
'' Indeed, I need a favor. ''
Her eyes lit up at his words. Wang Wei isn't the kind of person to ask for something. Maybe this is the opportunity to finally set things right between them.
He took her out but stopped when he saw that someone was following them.
'' Your payement is scheduled for tomorrow. Don't think to try to change our terms. ''
'' Of course not, my word isn't given lightly. ''
'' I expect so. ''
The pair then continued walking until they reached a secluded room. Ye Ziyun's heart began beating faster. She was feeling slightly anxious but nonetheless excited. They were alone, a boy and girl in a small room. She could smell his unique scent. Was it her moment? Would he finally admit his wrongs and take their relationship where it was and evolve where it should be? Did she want it? Will she finally disobbey and ignore one of her family's wish? She kept staring hopefully at his face that lacked handsomeness but that had always represented to her hope, care and love.
She didn't even heard what he was saying, her attention fixed on his lips. Those lips that would be put upon her own in an intimate gesture that would display love, care and possessiveness.
Did she want that kiss? What about Ning'er? Wasn't she also infuriated with him when kids always competing for his attention? What if this intimate gesture would put an unbreakable wall between the 2 girls? Would she have to choose eventually between the both of them? Would she be forced to leave her friend be with the only male that ever took her heart? Why did fate have to be so cruel?
Couldn't she have her romantic story while keeping her friend Ning'er? What would she choose, love or friendship?
She was awaked from her thoughts by a flick on her forehead. Surprisingly, she loved it although she would never admit it. To her it symbolizes all the care that he often shows her. She loved the fact that he isn't shy when interacting with her, never applying to social customs of never touching. All the others boys seems cold and detached compared to his warm habits of hugging and touching and she had deeply missed those kind of warm interactions.
'' Ziyun, I said I needed your help for something really important. It concerns Ning'er. She needs help. ''
Ye Ziyun was furious :
" We can finally freely talk after so many times and it involves Ning'er. Why isn't it ever me? I also need help. Why can't you just act a tenth of what you do for others when it comes to me? I love you!"
" No Ziyun, you don't. You don't know what love is. I'm more like a brotherly figure for you. You do admire me and care for me but that's not love. ''
'' Cut it off. I have 2 'brothers' and I don't imagine doing things I hope to do with you. ''
'' That's interesting, what kind of things? "
" You know.... kissing and stuff. ''
'' So you do know about kissing. Have you exercised on it on your pillow? "
" What? Why is a pillow involved? Aren't we a little young to take things to bed? "
" Nevermind. Do you want to kiss? "
" I don't know. Is it difficult? Is it painful? Could I still get married afterwards? "
" Mouahahahahahahaha. Tell me little girl. Do you want to loose your 'innocence'? Do you want to perform with the lowly me the forbidden act of kissing? Do you want to loose your 'mouth virginity' to your 'brother'? Mouahahaha, can you call me Onii-chan while doing it? "
'' What are saying Wang Wei? You're making me a little nervous and afraid. Is it painful? Will I feel something afterwards?"
" You will feel funny, as if you had been poisoned and the worst will be the addiction that follows. You would feel strange but you would want to do it again and again. ''
Ziyun was then taken by doubt. Is she ready for it? She was also having expectations, would her perceptions of things change once again thanks to Wang Wei? She wanted to know but was a little apprehensive about it. She needed a distraction, maybe she could ask her aunt for advice afterwards.
'' So what about Ning'er? I can't help with her engagement. ''
'' Getting cold feet? Your loss. You don't know what you're missing. '' Ziyun retaliated by a stomp on his foot.
'' So, concerning Ning'er, she suffer from a weird disease. She has an accumulation of yin energy in her body and it inflict her tremendous amount of pain. If she's not treated quickly, she could end up bedridden for a long time. ''
'' Really? Is this coming from your mysterious and all knowing book? "
" Of course not. I can just feel it. For her treatment you must perform a message that I'll teach you and prescribe the herbs that I'll tell you about so remember it well. ''
After telling her about the cure and after what followed to be a weird but a pleasant experience for Ziyun as she performed the message on Wang Wei, she finally asked :
" Why are you telling me all of this? Won't it be simpler for you to it? Don't think that I don't know how you act nicer to her than me. Don't you want to be her prince charming?"
'' Tell me Ziyun, what would Ning'er do for the person who can cure a dangerous illness that can destroy her hopes and dreams?"
" Well, Ning'er is the kind of person who repays her debts a thousand fold and is very prideful when it comes to receiving something. ''
'' And what would Ning'er do if I cure her? "
" She would do anything I think, even becoming your faithful servant. ''
'' Not exactly but you got the point. ''
'' So why don't you? "
" Because I have a better way of treatment but it should involve more than kissing to make yin and yang whole and in harmony once again. ''
This earned him another stomp on the foot.
'' Thanks WeiWei, I know you're doing it for us so that we can be friends again. Thank you. And maybe we can try to be in 'harmony' if you reach the Legend Rank. ''
She said those words nervously before running out leaving Wang Wei alone scheming once again. He got a lot on his plate and he will surely be very busy in the following week.
