11 - " Was it true ? "

Two months later :

My plain had just landed at Shanghai, I didn't told anyone when I was coming back, I want it to be a surprise for Shancai. She had participated at cooking contest and she had won the special prize. I've planned my return from the moment I learned that she was going to participate to this contest. When I got out of the plain I ran to the exit the airport and took a cab, I gave the address of Daoming Si, that Ximen had sent me a while ago, knowing that she will probably be there.

When I arrived, I took my luggage out of the cab and I went to the entrance where I entered discreetly.

" It's a bit spicy, but it's quite good. " I heard Ah Si said, so now I knew Shancai was definitely here.

" Can I taste them too ? " I asked, showing myself.

They all looked at me surprised to see me. Shancai was the first one to come hug me.

" What are you doing here ? I thought you were still in France ! " She wouldn't let me hug the other, she was attached to me like a snake who will not let go of his prey. " How did you know we were at Daoming Si ? " Asked Meizuo. " Yeah how do you know where I live ? " I looked at Ximen who, now, understood why I asked for Ah Si address.

" I wanted to do a surprise, when I learn that you were participated at this contest I knew it was the moment I'll come back and frankly I was missing you a little bit. I love my cousin but I was getting bored alone in France. " She finally let go of me and embraced everyone and meet Daoming Si's sister, Daoming Zhuang.

" So this is THE Manon. " I looked at the guys confused. " Ximen talked a lot about you. "

" Zhuang ! " He exclaimed. " I'm not talking that much. "

" You're talking about her at least five or six times  a day. " We looked at Hua Ze Lei who had gone back to his sit to eat. " I count. " I laugh at this, Ximen was blushing while the other were laughing too.

We spent the evening all together eating the amazing dinner of Shancai.

" Well... Actually I'm very thankful for the experience I gained from the preparation until the actual competition. Thank you for helping me, Ms. Zhuang and everyone. So thank you to all of you. "

" Come with me for a while. I want to tell you something. " Said Daoming Si to Shancai. " You don't need to leave. We'll leave. Come, follow me. " Said Ms. Zhuang. " Ms. Zhuange, are we going to buy some wine ? " Asked Meizuo. " Enough talking, let's just go. " We were all about to leave but Ah Si interrupted us in our action. " You all don't need to go. I'll say it in front of you. " We all looked at him confused while he was staring at Shancai.

" Shancai, Spent the day with me tomorrow. " We all laugh discreetly, that was so cute. I had missed a lot of thing. Shancai, her, looked scared.

" Who asked someone on a date in front of everyone ? "

" Why should we date in secret ? " He asked her. Well I missed more than a lot. " Didn't you want to thank me ? If you really want to thank me, then spent the day with me. "

" All right. Let's all spent the day together ! " I spit out my win after what Shancai said, why did she asked us to spent the day together ?

" My schedules is full tomorrow, I have a tea ceremony tomorrow morning. At night I have to discuss something with Ella, Selina and Hebe. " Said Ximen, I looked at him with dead eyes. Daoming Si then looked at Meizuo. " I have to set up our exhibit tomorrow morning. Then I have a date at night. " Replied Meizuo.

" Huaze Lei, you're always free, right ? " Asked Shancai desperately.

" He's going shopping with me tomorrow. " Intervened Ms. Zhuang, Lei nodded.

And then she looked at me, praying that I say yes.

" Well euh... I have to empty my suitcases tomorrow morning and euh... I have to meet up with some guy from school, who is really cute by the way. " This is not what I was going to do but I had to help Ah Si.

Ximen choked with his drink. " What ? " He asked me.

" What what ? " I asked him.

" Are you serious ? " Why wouldn't I. I lifted my shoulders in response.

" See, I'm the only one available to go on a date with you. " Shancai looked very embarrassed from the situation. " All right. Let's not talk about it first. I'll make a toast first to thank everyone for supporting me. Bottom up. " And she drank her drink in just one time.

" Hey Shancai that alcohol is really strong. " We were all looking at her surprised by how quickly she drank her glass. And she fainted.

Daoming Si took her home and we, the F4, Ms. Zhuang and me finished our dinner. While I was talking with Daoming Si's sister and Lei, Ximen asked : " Was it true ? " I looked at him not knowing at who he was talking but I quickly saw that everyone was looking at me. " For the guy ?"

" Was it true for the three girls ? "

" Of course no. "

" Then you have my answer. " First he looked at me confused but then he understood what was the meaning of my answer.

" You two should spend the day together ! " Exclaimed Ms. Zhuang.

" What ? " We both said at the same time. Everyone was laughing at us and at this moment Ah Si made his appearance.

" What are you laughing about ? " He asked us. Ximen and I were red like a tomato and Ms. Zhuang couldn't stop laughing at us.

" Ximen and Manon are going to spent the day together tomorrow, right ? " Meizuo I'm going to kill you. " yeah, too bad that you missed it. " Said Huaze Lei.

" Alright I'm going to go, I have a lot to do. " I get up from my chair but Ms. Zhuang, who had get up without me seeing it, pushed me back in my chair.

" Another drink first. "

" No, i'm going to get fuzzy after. "

" I insist. " She served me another glass of wine and give it to me. " Now tell us how was France, what did you do ? "

" I did nothing, I was with my cousin. "

" Don't believe you. "

" That's the truth. I was with him, we walked around Paris, gone shopping and I saw some friend. "

" When we were at Sanya, didn't you said you had to see your doctor ? " asked Meizuo. " Yeah that's true ! " Exclaimed Ximen.

I drank my glass of wine and get up again. " I finished my wine, I have to go now. " I quickly ran off the room and exited the house.

" She's smart. "
