A few weeks later we were back in Shanghai, it was a nice mini vacation and well needed. It gave me an excuse to check out of the real world for a while and spend time with my boys and get to know Shancai more. Now that we were home things picked up again. Classes, work and real-life stuff.
I had just finished my last class and walked out, I was currently working on a several orders that came from some clients, Serena asked me to make her and Song Woo Bin matching clothes for a party coming up. I was very busy.
Anyway, I walked out of the school and headed to the small pastry shop where the boys were waiting. The second I stepped into the building a bunch of fans came up to me, it was a daily thing, not that I minded.
I smiled greeting them, signing autographs until they all got their fill and ran off. I looked around spotting the boys and walked up seeing Ah Si with a phone.
"Hello, I'm Daoming Si what he said is true" He said and lightly tossed it on the table. "Hey I've been repeating this over and over. Are we done?"
Lei got up from his seat, pulling a chair out so I could sit. I smiled at him lightly and sat down saying hello to the other three. Lei sat back down, grabbing my hand underneath the table.
"I've got no choice, we didn't invite anyone to Canada." Ximen told him. "Xin Hui and Bai He came alone, Many people are complaining"
Lei scooted a glass of tea and a slice of chocolate cake towards me, my eyes lit up staring at the chocolatey goodness and gave Lei a kiss on the cheek as a thank you before taking a drink of the black tea and just listened to the boys talk.
"It must be those lame girls" Ah Si said
"No Chen Qinghe too" Meizuo told him
"Qinghe can be categorized as a lame girl too" Lei said jokingly.
"Qinghe is at a high school reunion, Xiaoyou shared photos in the group, Shancai looks dumb" Ximen said playing with his phone.
" Gege that's not nice" I told him sternly.
"Let me see" Ah Si demanded taking Ximen's phone looking at the picture.
"See? Such a dumb look" Ximen told.
"Ximen!" I snapped reaching over and knocked his head down.
"Sorry but it's true" He told me smiling innocently.
"Where is this" Ah Si asked.
"A restaurant on Huashan Road, I don't know the place" Meizuo said
I looked at Si seeing the expression on his face.
"Ah Si I know that face." I said quietly. "Don't even think about it"
"I'm going there" He told me.
" Shancai will not like this" I told him shaking my head.
"Ah Si they're having a reunion it doesn't concern you I don't think it's okay" Meizuo added
"Why not? I think it's perfectly fine" Ah Si said making me sigh.
"Yeah it doesn't sound like a crazy stalker at all" Lei said.
"Hey who are you calling a stalker I just happen to be near by" Ah Si told him punching Lei's shoulder almost hitting me in the process. I glared at him on both accounts.
"Hey!"
"Sorry" Ah Si muttered.
"Two thousand meters is nearby? " Lei asked. "Are you saying you're like star-crossed lovers?"
"I'm going to see my girlfriend, What's wrong with that?." Ah Si said confidently. "You and Xiaoli are always seeing each other, kissing holding hands in public, girlfriends like this kind of stuff"
He stood up walking out.
"Hopefully Shancai thinks so too" Ximen stated.
I looked at them standing up.
"should we go?"
The boys looked at me nodding we all rushed out.
------
We got there just as a fight broke out, standing outside the restaurant listening to the fight inside a group of kids ran out Shancai moments after that she stopped seeing us standing there and looked at me I could see the tears she looked scared to move.
"I'll take you home." I told her moving forward and wrapped an arm around her, turning to the boys. "You deal with him."
Lei handed me the keys, I gave him a small smile and walked Shancai to the car with Xiaoyou following behind.
"Where do you need to go?" I muttered.
---------
When we got to where Shancai wanted to be dropped off, we talked for a little bit before I left, stopping at the hospital before driving to Si's house and walked down the stairs to the hang out.
"Just look at him, if you were Shancai, would you forgive him" I heard Meizuo ask.
"you mean someone who beat up my friend without a reason" Lei asked
"Yes"
"Never in my life" Lei told him making me smile a little.
"School is starting soon, you need to figure out how to make up" Ximen advised I stopped on the bottom stair arms crossed, watching them.
"Let's continue" Meizuo told him.
"Hurry up" Ximen said.
"My rash behavior has brought harm to your gentle soul...I...and then what?" Ah Si asked trailing off as he forgot the rest of it.
"For that, I am ashamed and sorry I hope the beautiful and merciful you will be able to forgive my stupidity. Don't leave me in the dark" I said making everyone finally notice, they stared in shock. "What?. Gege and Zuo use that line all the time."
I walked over and sat in the middle of Lei and Meizuo.
"Do we really?" Ximen asked.
I nodded.
"when did you get here, since you memorized it, you can do it then" Ah Si said we stared at him and he walked away sitting a little ways away from us pouting.
"so what's the verdict" Meizuo asked looking at me.
"Shancai's friend will be fine, he has to remain in the hospital overnight just in case." I told them. "And he won't be pressing any charges, Don took care of it but now I owe Serena a favor."
They nodded, sighing in relief.
"And Shancai?" Ximen added.
At that all of them including Si looked at me I crossed my arms.
"It's not going to be easy she's really hurt, not that I blame her" I said looking at Si, giving him a look. "Ah Si you really messed up this time, girls are sensitive about things like this."
"Like Lei wouldn't do the same"
"Lei knows all my friends." I told him flatly. "We have no secrets."
"Wait really"
Lei and I nodded
"if you want Shancai to trust you, you need to learn to trust her and sometimes let her breathe, intruding on her get together without being invited, ruining her fun and then beating up her friend was not the answer, learn to control your anger and show her your not just a bully." I told him earning looks. "You have no idea what it's like being bullied but I do and I'm really disappointed in you."
I shook my head, sighing and stood up. Meizuo, Lei and Ximen got up with me and we headed up the stairs, to our cars and headed to school.
