Secret Love Nest

Lesson in Jealousy pt 5

And now we've reach the climax...

Zhi Ming shrug like he found me uniteresting. I think he has made up his mind about me. Just a nobody. A country bumpkin that Qing met and picked up then dressed to look a little presentable. Like most people, he thinks I am a pushover and won't be able to hold on to my man.

Well fuck that! I don't care how he thinks about me. I sometimes even ignore Qing's opinion on me and I love the man. I just want to ask him a question. That's it.

Me: (still looking at Qing) Is there somewhere a bit quiet where we can talk? I just want to ask him something cause I am really curious. You know me when I am curious, I won't be able to sleep until I get my answers. Please...

Qing stared at me for a few moments, looking for something, but he won't see anything pass my cute begging face.

Qing: (sigh) Fine. Let's go to the library. I think that room is empty. I will ask permission to the owner of the house so we can talk there.

I nodded and he left. Yu ShuLuo stood beside me and asked if I am fine. I said I am okay. We will just talk then Qing and I can go home. She kissed me goodnight and I smiled and thanked her. Just in time for Qing to come back and give the okay on the library.

Qing tried to hold my hand again by I evaded his touch and instead walk first. He followed me and Zhi Ming at the last. We entered the library and when the door shut, the world suddenly consist of just us three...

I turn to face Zhi Ming.

Me: (smiling) Do you still want Qing? (I don't like mixing words.) Cause I saw you leaning on him and whispering and smiling at him so I was wondering if you still want him.

I managed to shock them again.

Qing: (walking to me) Dayu....

Me: (points at him) You stay there. Let me hear his answer first then you will have your turn.

Zhi Ming: (crossing his arms on his chest, smirking at me) Looks like Qing was wrong. You are no sweet kitten, looks like you have claws you can use. I see, you are not that boring after all.

I nodded. So he also thought I am boring. I am fine with that.

Me: And you didn't answer my question. Should I repeat it?

Zhi Ming: And if I still want him? (Laughing humorlessly) Will you be willing to give him back to me?

Me: He is not mine to give away.

Qing and Zhi Ming both froze. I turn to Qing.

Me: Do you wanna be with him?

Qing: (blanching) Don't be ridiculous!

Me: Then what's with the whispering and the hand on the waist and the laughing?

Qing close his eyes and sigh tiredly. I nodded, not expecting an answer from him anyway.

Me: (looking at both of them) So here's the thing. I may not be as rich or as sophisticated or as classy as the both of you but I am not stupid. That little performance you both did out there, I get it. You (pointing at Zhi Ming) want to get back at me cause your pride is hurt that Qing is with someone like me. I mean look at you, you must think you are perfect, then look at me. I get it. While you (points at Qing) wanted to get a reaction from me. You want me jealous. Am I right?

Qing: (tried to come to me again) Dayu...

Me: Stay there. You won't answer that? Then I will assume I am on point. So what are we going to do now? (I look at Qing) You want me to be jealous, why? Do you need jealousy as a proof that I love you? Is that the confirmation you want? Well I am jealous now. Are you happy? Is that proof enough for you?
