Secret Love Nest

Lightning and Thunder pt 2

The first time Dayu and I got to talk, other than the usual greeting, was in front of the dorm's bulletin board. The dorm room where I am staying is under fire again. We are on the top of the "troubled room" list.

Dayu: (standing beside me) Again? Really, you should start packing cause you will need a new room soon..

Me: (frowning) Isn't that a bit harsh?

Dayu: (eyes going wide) Oh, did I blunder again? I'm sorry, my friends always said that I say the most honest yet awkward things. I guess some people can't appreciate the truth.

Me: And some people should mind their own business. Right?

Dayu: (slapping my arm) Hey don't be mad, we are all friends here...wow, your arms are hard (squeezing my arm) do you work out?

Me: (is this really happening) You are weird.

Dayu: (happy) Cool! If weird is the worst thing you can say about me, that's good. And I like you too.

Me: What? You like me too...when did I say that I like you?

Dayu: (tiptoeing to put his arm around my shoulder) Goodness this is hard because you are tall. You see, wait what is your name again.

Forget weird. This guy is insane.

Me: (what to do eh) Wang Qing.

Dayu: (licking his bottom lip) (now why would he do that?!) Wang Qing, nice name by the way. Wait?! You are Wang Qing? The Wang Qing? The one who owns the...

Me: Yeah that's me.

Dayu: (eyes lightening up) I love your hotpot man! I always order on your shop. Hey, we are friends now, can I get discounts?

I should have known by that time how stingy he is.

Me: We are getting far from the original topic. Can we go back now? Although for the life of me I can't remember what we are talking about.

Dayu: I remember! About you packing your things and leaving that room. I am suggesting that because our room will have a vacancy. We, me in particular, will be happy to welcome CEO Wang into our room.

I frown at him. Take his arm off my shoulder and regard this short, weird (insane) guy.

He smiled. Eyes twinkling. Secrets behind those eyes. My own eyes drifted on that mole under his left eye again.

I wanna get closer to him. Well, this is the chance I am waiting for. Let's see how ordinary this Feng Jian Yu is or how insane he can be.

Me: (nodding) Fine. I am in!

Dayu: Wonderful! Now how about those discounts?

I sneered at him before turning to leave him. If I am changing rooms, I need to do that packing he advised to me.

And that is the start of my downfall.

Dayu is not insane. But he can drive anyone crazy, that's for sure.

It's that mouth of his. It has bipolar syndrome (no insult to those with genuine bipolar of course).

He will blurt out things out of the blue. And make everything awkward. For example...

Me, him and our other four roommates are talking about our last exams. One of us is being reprimanded for cheating but I think he had a valid case to say that he is innocent.
