Dayu's POV

Why did I let Qing kiss me? Why did I respond to him? If it wasn't for the doorbell; who knows what we would have done on the couch by now.

What was that, Dayu? I asked myself. A momentary lapse of judgement? A sudden madness? A reminiscence of the past??!?

I don't know what it was; but I know one things for sure, it shall not be repeated. I wouldn't let it happen again. I had already forgotten about Wang Qing, for two years; I was able to breath, sleep and eat easy for two years not thinking about him at all. I am not about to change that.

I loved him once. Deeply. Thoroughly. Unconditionally. But, that love has ended. For me.

I never imagined myself to be in Qing's world again, not even once. I fully intended to live my life, away from Qing. I was prepared on never meeting him or seeing  him again, for the rest of my life, if I have to. And even if one day, we should meet again; I hoped that by that time, we could both treat the two years we spent together as a memory; how we were when we were young. That's what I hoped.

But now, this happened and I don't know how to act. I was not ready to meet Qing again. I hadn't prepared myself with the confrontation with him. And I really was not ready for the way Qing behaved. He's not like the Qing I remembered. He's speaking in a different tone. He's looking at me differently. He's telling me things I never would have believed I would be hearing from him; not in the million light years..!

I was so not ready for this meeting with this Wang Qing!

I dazedly walked towards the door; thanking my lucky stars that the doorbell rang at that exact time; if it hadn't rung, honestly I can't say where I would have been and what I would be doing. But; judging from how I reacted; it's not only clear about what I would be doing and where, but it's also very clear with whom.

My brain left me for dead. Thankfully, I was saved by the bell.

I opened the door and Rui was standing there; looking very grim and very worried.

"Rui!?"

"Dayu..!" The taller man who was two years younger than me, called my name; as he inspected my face and my whole body, "are you alright!?" He's worried. Qing came and threatened them at three am this morning; and demanded to be brought to see me; of course he would worry.

"I am alright..." I replied, blushing guiltily a little because I was actually hardly alright; I almost succumbed to my momentary madness just now.

"The man is still here?!?" Rui demanded as he began scanning the apartment at my back.

"Yes. Of course I am still here..!" To my horror, I heard Qing's voice behind me, and several seconds later I felt his hand on my shoulders. I stiffened and automatically tried to shrug his hand off but his hand wouldn't budge, instead he gripped me tighter.
