Is It Worth It? (Huan Zhu Ge Ge Fanfic)

Chirping

Yong Qi walked out of his residence toward the Shu Fang Zhai. He had promised to Zi Wei to be there. Yong Qi walked with a book in his hand. Every now and then he lowered his book to see the road, the occasional attention remained focused on his book regardless his surrounding.

Buk!

Yong Qi collapsed on the road. He began to feel resentful. Who dared to violate him, a prince ?A lady who was collecting the fruits scattered, which likely fell from the basket in her hand.

"You!" Yong Qi scolded her loudly. 

"You again! This is the third time you bump into me! What's your name?!"

The maid looked scared and immediately knelt .

"Wu Ah Ge, I'm sorry. It's unintentional. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." The girl said repeatedly as she bowed her head .

"What's your name?" Yong Qi repeated his question.

"Xia....Xiao Yan Zi." Sputtering, Xiao Yan Zi replied. She knew that it was her fault, made the prince angered.

"Yong Qi!" A voice greeted them. Xiao Yan Zi , who was kneeling and Yong QI who glaring at her, the turned towards the owner of the voice .

"Zi Wei."

"I was searching for you. You were late." Zi Wei walked toward her brother. At that time, she noticed the presence of a lady maid who was collecting the fruits scattered apund them.

"Eh, Xiao Yan Zi. Why is this?" Quickly, she helped the girl

"You know her?" just look at both of them.

"She is Huan Zhu Ge Ge's maid. " Zi Wei helped Xiao Yan Zi to stand after helping to collect fruits .

"Huan Zhu ge ge's maid?"

"Yes. Now,Xiao Yan Zi, what are you doing here?"

"I'm sending this fruits for you," Xiao Yan Zi replied softly when she was being stared by Wu Ah Ge sharply.

"Again?" Zi Wei appeared surprised . Xiao Yan Zi just nodded .

Finally Zi Wei and Yong Qi went back to Shu Fang Zhai, followed by Xiao Yan Zi behind them .

"You know, Yong Qi. This isn't the first time Huan Zhu Ge Ge give me things. She always gives me foods, fruits and also other things."

"Seems like she wants to be friend with you. But you should be careful with her, Zi Wei. She might have something on her mind right now." Yong Qi's words surprised Xiao Yan Zi.

"Huan Zhu Ge Ge has no bad intentions towards Wu Ah Ge and Ming Zhu Ge Ge," she said from their back. Yong Qi quickly turned to the girl. The girl was really brave to interrupt both prince and princess's conversation. However , the brave girl held her gaze, defended her master .

Yong Qi got out of bed when he could not sleep after a few minutes of lying down. It is not the room setting that made him unable to sleep. He was thinking of someone because of the words of the girl, named Xiao Yan Zi, afternoon. The lady maid was so intent and defended the dignity of her master, Huan Zhu Ge Ge.

Yong Qi thought, was the princess kind?

Yong Qi changed his clothes to go out for a walk outside his residence. The quiet night atmosphere is so peaceful and soul stirring. Actually, since the competition between him and Huan Zhu Ge Ge few weeks ago, the image of the princess who covered her face often played on his mind.

On his way to the lake, he faintly heard the sound of birds chirping . Birds chirping at night? Yong Qi his way over to the area. Over the time, the sound of birds singing louder and clearer. Finally, he saw someone sitting whose back was to him. At that time, Yong Qi stopped and watched from there.

Huan Zhu smiled at the stories of birds that was told to her . A bird named Peach and the rest of her friends talked about their lives. Huan Zhu Ge Ge was told the stories of Peach flying out of the area without the knowledge of their parents.

"You shouldn't do that. Your parents must be worried," Huan Zhu gave her adviced to the little bird. The little bird chirped, responded to the words of Huan Zhu.

A mynah bird flew and perched on a branch which is not far from all of them.

"Oh, hello Mika. " A reply of chirping from the bird made the face of Huan Zhu changed. At that time, she quickly reached the cloth that was used to cover her face below the eyes. Luckily, she remembered to bring the cloth here.

A news brought by Mika, the mynah bird was a real surprise. Someone was watching them from the back of a tree not far from there. Even surprising, when she was told that the person was Wu Ah Ge.

Without warning, Huan Zhu leaped high and landed behind Yong Qi before attacked the prince. However, Yong Qi deftly dodge attacks directed against him even though he did not see who was attacking him in the dark. Despite their fight, Yong Qi was more to avoiding, than attacking.

Huan Zhu finally relented and took a few feet of the prince.

"Wu Ah Ge Ji Xiang." Huan Zhu greeted Yong Qi politely.

"Who are you?" Yong Qi asked. He could not identify who was fighting him earlier.

"Spying is not good, Wu Ah Ge." Huan Zhu said sarcastically before removing herself quietly . She did not want her privileges of talking to birds exposed to the public and only a certain people know about it.
