Be My BEST Friend (2)

Hot chocolate!

"Why we must dropped  XiaYou first, we more less already passed my house on the way there. Now Shushu Yan needing to turn around again ", Shancai questioned him.

Daoming Si glanced at her, " you know why.  "

Shancai inhaled and exhaled, shook her head.

"I haven't finish explaining to you, and I don't feel comfortable talking with other people listening. I just need talking to you only. We still need to solve some issues " he told her.

" my mother will be at home, so that's mean will be other people around too ," Shancai replied.

" that's why we are not going to your house yet, we are stopping at the cafe shop " he exclaimed. I hope you don't mind. I take the liberty to chose the place. It's very cosy and quite. I guarantee we won't see any of our friends, if that's you worrying about. "

"Shushu Yan, we are stopping at the Maple's nearby, we are having coffee there before taking Shancai back home."

"The one closer, ..  surely, Young Daoming ", his driver answered knowingly.

"Although, Shancai, I suggest,  we phone your mother to let her know, that you'll back home a little bit late. If you want, I can talk to her ", Daoming Si offered .

" No, it's fine. I'll ring her".

She phoned her mother and telling her Daoming Si need to stop somewhere first, therefore they will be back slightly later. Her mother didn't even asking why, it seemed she has a full trust in him. Hmm.

**********************

The car stopped at a small hotel's car park.

Shancai feeling uneasy, ( why here ? ) 

"You said a coffee shop, this is more like a hotel to me ". she said uncomfortable.

"It is a Boutique Hotel. A niche one, rather exclusive. Not many people knows ", AhSi replied.

Shancai shocked and started nervously sputtering her words very fast,

"Daoming Si, if you think you can just solve your problem in this kind of place or you are prank me, you are playing with the wrong girl. If you think,  this is the kind of payback for taking me to school and back. I will never agreed. I am not doing it. I am not that kind of girl.  I will find other way to pay, I promise. I can't believe you are like this! "

Daoming Si looking at her very surprised but can't help to laugh.

" I will scream you know, I mean it ! " she shouted again.

"Shancai, relax .... you got it all wrong!" AhSi chuckled.

"It is a Boutique Hotel belongs to our family. I am taking you here, because they have great Coffee shop inside and for sure none of our friends will coming here. Mostly hotel residents are westerner expatriates or tourists. So, you are safe, see ".

Daoming Si explaining to her patiently, 

Shancai's face so red.

"I am sorry,... I just —- I didn't know, but all they saying were....." she can't even express her feelings. She embarrassed for even think about that.

"It's okay,  I should be offended by you having such that thought of me, but I do understand. Now I hope you know me, I am NOT horrible guy, Shancai.... he paused, 

"I though, however enjoyed your little drama earlier ".

" but you okay now, yes? "

"Yeah."

"Let's  sit at that corner ".

"What's you having, tea, coffee, hot chocolate? " AhSi asking her.

Shancai still can't decide. She just looking around the place.

Indeed very cosy, quiet and classy. Lovely place.

"If you let me order for you, their hot chocolate is the best here. Made from dark and milk chocolate melted. They says it's a mood lifter,  drink it then you will feel better afterwards. "

" okay, I trust you. " Shancai easily agreed as she has no preferences.

" Can we have one special hot chocolate and one coffee latte for me please. A selection of cakes and pastries for eating in and also one box to take away, thanks ", Daoming Si giving orders  to the waiter.

"sure, Mr Daoming Si ". 

Shancai heard that, of course they knew him.

Not long, their order arrived one tall coffe latte for Daoming Si and one Maple's special hot chocolate with cream and pretty white, milk and chocolate decorated in shaped of maples leaves for her.  Just by looking at it, Shancai feels her mood lift up.

"thanks AhSi, I feel much better already! ".
