" Xin ge, whom are we waiting for?" One of the boys asked, unable to contain his curiosity any longer. He, and a couple of boys were perched high up in a tree, hidden in it's foliage. Apparently, they had teamed up to wait for something, or someone. Hearing the question, their leader turned back and grinned " My fifth uncle is coming... God knows how many more brothers my dear ma has!" For sure, they were up to no good!

" But,why are we waiting for fifth uncle here?" An older boy asked Xin Zhiwang, with an air of innocent righteousness

" But,why are we waiting for fifth uncle here?" An older boy asked Xin Zhiwang, with an air of innocent righteousness. He was the kind of boy, who could snitch about you if he wanted, and nothing could stop him, from doing that..

" Da ge....my dear Zhongcheng... " Xin Zhiwang whined, with puppy eyes.. " He is bringing his daughter's alliance for me...! I haven't yet decided if I want someone in my life. He should not reach home at any cost! Da ge, do you wish to see your little brother wasting his life, married to some unknown woman? I would rather prefer to enjoy life, remain single..Maybe love isn't meant for me...."

Xin Zhongcheng - Xin Zhiwang's elder brother

The older boy chuckled sadly. ' Azaan....' He was cruelly reminded of a certain angry young man, whom he had loved too much, too much that for him, Zhongcheng broke his own heart, and persuaded him to move on. The young man's heart had also shattered to pieces, in the process. But Zhongcheng never regretted letting him go, as it was for the greater good...

" Da ge.... I didn't mean to remind you about Azaan ge! Sorry.." Xin Zhiwang had an apologetic look on his face. Zhongcheng ruffled his hair with a smile and said " It's alright... Maybe love isn't meant for us.."

As they were talking, one of the boys nudged Xin Zhiwang. " Xin ge, Xin Da ge, someone's coming" He whispered. Sure enough, someone was approaching the tree, oblivious to the people waiting on top.
