Patient (433)

Xiao Nai couldn't place it. He couldn't figure out why, she kept looking away. He didn't think it was because he was ugly. Years and years of girls chasing after him proved to him he wasn't, though he could do without the stares so much. His mother made sure his confidence wasn't to egotistical, but it was still a big confidence booster. So why was she looking away?

The one time he went to run at the college track, just to make sure it was her that he had saw at the internet cafe, he had finally made eye contact. Though from a distance, yet the moment their eyes met, her body went rigid and she bolted in the opposite direction. Xiao Nai has been trying to shake off the slight disappoint ever since.

One day he found himself at the library, researching on workspaces for the office they would be needing once college was over with. He overheard a woman complaining to another girl about someone named Meng Yiran. He was about to get up to leave, the whining was trying his patience but the name he had been dying to say came out her mouth. He paused, wondering what this could be about.

"It's not my fault that she's jealous that Bei Wei wei likes Xiao Nai! How could I stop other people from having feelings!" Xiao Nai caught himself almost smiling in public at the words. He felt like a school boy finding out the girl he liked, felt the same way for the first time.

"Did she say she liked him?" The other girl who also sounded her patience was being tested asked.

"She said she would like to date someone from her department, Like Xiao Nai, how is that not a confession?! Why use his name at all?" The girl complained more. His smile disappeared. That small difference, might not mean a lot to someone like her, but it does to someone like him & her. She used him as an example, not as the main reason. The smile was gone.

Later, he sat in front of his computer, finally home, away from other people, distractions. Where he felt the most comfortable. The most himself. He opened up the game, to find her online already. A message popped up, from her, asking to come and help her.

He knew while helping her fight, he just had to be patient. He had to wait for the right time, the right moment, to get her full attention, He just had to be patient. Because

That's how you win Bei Wei Wei.
