1. Wandering thoughts

20:00 pm ~
"No way!" Shi Qingxuan's voice rang like a bullet though the air in the bowling hall. The room could be described as quite small, but still big enough for the visitors of the Wind bar. Not everyone knew about this secret bowling room since Shi Qingxuan, the owner, allowed only his closest friendjs there. No particular reason he says. It's just better this way without all the unnecessary drunk people tripping around and doing harm to others.

"PAYS YOU RIGHT YOU FUCKS!! YA THOUGHT I WOULD SCORE A DAMN ONE! I'M DEFINITELY NOT THE ONE THAT'S AN ASS IN BOWLING" Qi rong laughed as he looked at Xie Lian while saying that one last sentence.

Xie Lian just rolled his eyes and sighed "SO WHAT!! NO WONDER Y-"

"XIE LIAN!! PLEASE PLAY ALREADY, I DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE NIGHT FOR YOU" Shi Qingxuan interrupted him mid sentence with his loud scream. He truly didn't have any more patience for his friends after dealing with customers the whole day.

Xie Lian just pursued his lips and clicked his tongue and continued in their play of bowling. He walked over and grabbed the ball that was closest to him. Turning left he swung his arm and his gaze followed the ball.

bang!

He looked up and saw the score. 1.

An ear piercing laugh broke the silence "...YOU SUCK AT THIS YOU DAMN HOMOSEXUAL!! I COULD SCORE BETTER WITH MY TOES"

"SHUT UP ALREADY QI RONG, I'M TIRED OF YOU SPEKAING THE WHOLE DAY PLEASE SHUT UP DEARLY"

Xie Lian already knew who said that and thought that there's no need to go over to his friends after all. His ears hurt from that one voice and he had enough.

He wanted to grab his bag from the couch they were sitting on and go back home since the last bus bus will be there soon amd there's no way he can miss it. "This fucking village's bus schedule is so annoying, why couldn't Qingxuan build a bar somewhere else and not in this farmer looking place, I wonder what he does the whole day, I bet he plants potatoes the whole day..." he thought to himself.

He was already close to the couch and could hear everyone more clearly. However who knew that while he was zoning out and walking a certain man would run straight into him and fall onto the ground with him. He only realized after a while when he felt his back hurt from the fall so he looked up and squinted his eyes.

The man had long black hair in a braid with a strand of red hair interviewing with his black hair. His hair fell onto his shoulder, continuing onto his chest. The man's ears had multiple piercing and a sparkly red pearl on the bottom of his ear which complimented his red eyeliner that was barely visible to the naked eye.

Xie Lian admired evey part of his face, he truly was beautiful. He looked like a singer? or an artist perhaps.

Even with his loud presence, the only thing that caught Xie Lian's attention were his eyes. The dark brown eyes that were full of passion and hope like he was living his best life right now. Like no one could take away his passion that was so dear to him, almost his entire life.

Xie Lian thought for a moment about how can eyes tell so much things.

He wished he also had his passion, something special that was unique from others. He wanted to own such an emotion too even if it wasn't a physical thing. Nothing can beat the feeling of having something dear to you, only you.

He felt his stomach turning from the overwhelming feelings. He wished to have something or someone too. Something that would battle the loneliness in him and take away all the bad thoughs. He felt like the loneliest person in every room even if it was busting with people. So much around him and he still doesn't have anything.

...

"uh.."

"sir..."

Xie Lian heard everything and at the same time he didn't. He heard but didn't understand the words.

...

"ah!" a cold hand touched his cheek and he suddenly came to reality again. His eyes widened and a chill ran down his spine.

He felt so embarrassed about what happened, has he really been staring at the man infront of him for that long? He couldn't believe himself and wanted to quickly organized his thoughts, when the coldness on his face went form his cheek to the area under his eye.

He focused on it. It smudged something... He has been crying.

He looked up and saw the fellow man's eyes looking at him. The passion disappeared from his eyes, it was no longer there. He didn't know if it even was there, what if he just overreacted and maybe it was never there?

Now his eyes rather seemed to be bland with a hint of worry. His eyebrows were also knitted together more than normaly. He was worrying about...Xie Lian?

Xie Lian felt his cheeks heat up, he probably looked like a mess, he wanted to hide himself. Why was the man still staring at him? He wanted him to never look at him anymore.

"umm...I... I'm sorry" were the only words that Xie Lian managed to get out of himself. He looked to the ground and wanted to get up, but the man was faster and pulled him up while leaving an arm around Xie Lian's shoulders in order to support him.
