The Tender Flower {Meteor Garden 2018}

Chapter 28

Warning: Filler chapter so it will be short

These past few weeks Meiza had been constantly on the lookout for Ju. She had avoided Lei as much as possible and only hung out with the guys when needed. Meizou usually stayed in his room these days and Meiza sensed that he was worrying over Ju.

"Come on, Ju. Where are you?" Meiza muttered to herself whilst scrolling through her social media on her laptop. She hadn't posted anything in days.

"Shit," Meiza said and closed her eyes in frustration. She grabbed her phone which had been buzzing for the tenth time today.

"Hello?" She answered the call as calmly as possible.

"Meimei! It's Jing! I have some things I would like to talk to you about. Are you at home now?" Jing's sweet voice ran through the phone. Meiza hesitates.

"Yeah, come on over, Jiejie," Meiza said and ended the call. Her stomach did double flips as she wondered what Jing wanted to say to her. Did she find out about her and Lei?

Meiza quickly checked her Snapchat to see if she could track down Ju using the map but there was no luck. She sighed and went to the kitchen to make some tea for her and Jing.

"Is Meiza here?"

"She's in the kitchen, Miss TengTang,"

Jing's heels clicked against the floor and became louder with each step as she got closer to the kitchen. Meiza his her worries and nervousness behind a smile and hugged her close friend.

"Hi Jiejie!" Meiza said, faking some of her excitement.

"Meimei! I feel like I haven't seen you in ages! Why don't you come to our gatherings anymore?" Jing asked concerned.

"I've been busy with university," Meiza lied and Jing nodded. "Would you like some tea? I just brewed it."

"Sure," Jing smiled sweetly and sat down at the counter. Meiza poured her a cup without milk and placed it in front of her. She grabbed the same thing for herself. Model life.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Meiza asked curiously leaning against the counter in front of Jing.

Jing grinned widely and grabbed Meiza's hands. Her eyes sparkled with joy and excitement.

"I want you to be my maid of honour," Jing said seriously and Meiza almost cried. The wedding was still on then.

"Me? Really?" Meiza asked surprised and Jing nodded, giggling and smiling a lot.

"Yes of course! I couldn't imagine a better person for it!" Jing pressed. "Don't tell Lei yet though. He doesn't know yet."

"It would be an honour," Meiza said after a small pause. Jing clapped excitedly and punched her cheek.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Jing said and sipped her tea. "The wedding will be in two month's time but I have to get your dress ready and I need your help to pick our outfits."

Meiza frowned and put her cup down, "Our?"

Jing smiled and nodded, "Ah Si will be out of the country when we go to get our outfits done and Ximen said he was busy courting someone?"

"And Meizou is not feeling well," Meiza continued, gripping the edge of the countertop.

"Yes, so I was hoping you would accompany him because you're his best friend. If you need Shancai she can-"

"Yes! Please! I think I'll also need Shancai's help," Meiza quickly added. Jing gave her a weird look but brushed it off.

"Okay, I'll tell her then. So next month we'll start with my dress and then you and Shancai can go with Lei!" Jing grinned and Meiza nodded.

"Cool beans," Meiza mumbled and drank her tea. Jing stayed for awhile, chatting about Lei and how excited she was to get married to him. Meiza couldn't help but feel guilty for going behind her Jiejie's back but she also felt sad that Lei didn't love her anymore... and that he loved Meiza.

Jing left after awhile so Meiza decided to turn in for the day. She was frustrated enough looking for Ju and now she had to go and help Lei with his suit. Things could not be worse for her.
