Be My BEST Friend (2)

I DUMPED HIM !

I. DUMPED. HIM !

"For crying out loud!! "

" yeah right! Sure you did "

Daoming Si yelling in his bedroom.

He just got back from school and got Weibo notification on his phone.

He Yuanzi posted on Weibo with the caption in bold " I. DUMPED. HIM " along with his picture (obviously she took it  from Daoming Si's Weibo account), then she tagged him.

Before he could even thinking straight and calm down, his phone ring, it's Ximen .

" AhSi... ? "

" yeah I know what's you going to say, she tagged me ffs ! As if I care " AhSi blurted out.

" what are you going to do about it? " asked Ximen .

" Me? Nothing! Why should I ? " AhSi shouted again.

" Are you not worry about your reputation? " concerned Ximen.

" What reputation? Being dumped by her ? ABSOLUTELY NOT !

Been involved with a girl like her, that's more like it. Ruined my reputation. That was a mistake. No, not even I had anything to do with it. It just my bad luck! ". Daoming Si keeps telling him his annoyance.

The fact is, he was not even angry, just irritated.

"Well, I mean it could implying you are a womaniser, a player .. you know that AhSi? " Ximen asked carefully not wanting fuelling up his friend's bad mood more.

" Ximen you are my friend and you know it very well I am not a player! That's more than enough for me. I don't care if those people who don't know me, think I am a player as long people who I care the most know the truth. Who really am. You and MeiZuo were there when I was told her, that's nothing between us . Other word, I was the one who's dumped her. Though, i didn't feel like it, because nothing was there between us in the first place . " AhSi muttered.

Ximen didn't reply, his friend is really stubborn and when he made up his mind, he is not going to change it.

" Beside, I think of it as a blessing in disguise. Scares others. Now, all those girls who keep pestering me will back off. I will finally free of them. Haha ! " he chuckled.

Ximen said  " I doubt it . " and continue, " If that's what you feel, and you are okay with whatever the consequences after her posted something not truth like that, then it's fine. I just phoned to checking on you . "

" I know man, thanks for your concern. I honestly okay! Tell MeiZuo okay . Haha, I don't want him to bugging me after you and worry about me too.  I don't suppose Lei will phone me, he just understand ." Daoming Si reassured his friends.

" Okay Si. Got it.  By the way I heard that Xin Bai just got suspended from school for a week. She is pleading really sorry, and because this is her first misbehaving, the school giving her a second chance. However, she must make a personal apology to you and Shancai, also making a public statement apology in school newsletter."  Ximen continues, 

" I think that's quite an embarrassment enough for her. She will definitely learn after this. " Ximen explained.

" fair enough. " AhSi quickly replied.

" as long as she must apologise to Shancai. She's the one more affected here, I know it's hard for a girl to have that such a reputation. It's ruined her name. I really don't want that, she has done nothing wrong. She never flirting with me, to think again, actually  it was my doing ".

" ... wait, wait a minute, did you say you were flirting with her ?!! Deliberately? Really AhSi?  "

Ximen shocked to hear his unintentionally confession.

Daoming Si flustered, caught of guard.

" no , no Ximen. Nothing like that. " he sighed try to think of something.

" I just want to help her. "  best thing he could said.

" help her for what exactly? " amused Ximen

" I don't know .... She is so tiny and cute and interesting . " AhSi answered without not knowing what's better to say.

"did you feel the urge to protect her from anything bad happened to her?" Asked Ximen gentle.

" yeah, something like that ..." Daoming Si said consciously.

" hmm, it's sound to me like you care for her. It could be the beginning AhSi...." Ximen told him.

" beginning of what? " wonder AhSi.

" the beginning of you becoming more human, idiot! Haha " Ximen chuckled.

" you know what I meant... don't pretend you don't . I've been training you for years and waiting this conversation finally happens! "

Daoming Si laughing loudly.

" well, to be honest ..I am not really sure Ximen. This is new thing for me. This kind of feelings. I feel very excited for some really simple things but at the same time I am afraid of ... " he couldn't finish his sentence.

" afraid of what AhSi ? " encouraged Ximen.

" hmm, afraid of the disappointment. Of not getting what you want.. something outside my control. You see, I'd like always in control of everything in my life. I know what I need, what I want and I make sure I get it. I like making plan for myself. The only thing that could stopping me, only my mom. Out of respect because she was borne me. "

" you scared your mom will not approve? " just like reading his mind, out of the blue, Ximen just spelled out for him, what's feared him.

" Ximen... how — how did you come to that conclusion? " stuttered AhSi.

" for this subject in life, I can read you like a book AhSi. You are so transparent anyway. I guessed I am right, aren't I? " uttered Ximen.

" but - I still can't figured out myself. Beside, err - beside I promise my mom, no girl for the rest of my high school. That's for an exchange to get rid of that annoying b*** " AhSi told Ximen in all honesty.

" so, I can't.... I can't do anything about it. I mean, I can't do anything with her or offering her beyond friendly stuff. "

Ximen saying, " but you feeling more than that ? "

" yeah,..... I wish I can control it. I thought if we can build a big bro kind of relation, at least I can get beyond just a friend, I can get more close to her. But without breaking my promise to my mom. Then she refused my offer. I really so confuse now .... ", AhSi sighed.

" probably it just a temporary AhSi , maybe just infatuation. You never falling in love with a girl before. All the girls around you, falling for you and they're the ones chasing you. Your feeling just got numbed with girls. Then, out of nowhere came Shancai, she's different, she is immune of you charms. Perhaps you just curious and got puzzled but that feeling in your heart will go away after you get to know her for awhile. Give it some time. Okay ? "

Ximen tried to offer him some explanation from his point of view.

" I am not so sure, but I heard what you saying Ximen. You probably right, only infatuation. I hope really is that's simple. I am Daoming Si after all. I conquered!"

[ but the truth is, I do really care about her to the point, it's hurt! ]
