Far Away Love (Yizhan. Zhanyi)✅

Chapter 4 (Waste of Time)

Chapter 4 (Waste of TIme)

Finally, the results came, closing my eyes, clasping my hands together and with a stress heartbeat, I have never wanted anything so badly before and worst of all, the trophy is not even for my self, I wanted this trophy so much for Sean. I wanted so much for Sean to be proud of me. Finally, I heard my name

"1st Place – WANG YIBO".

My heart race and I mumble "Sean, this is for you and you only" I raise my trophy and only I know who I like the most to have this trophy.

My heartbeat is raising and my joy is like the sky full of sunshine reigning the earth. I raised my trophy high because this is how I feel at this  moment, I feel like I am at the top of the world. I could see many girls squealing and screaming and raising their hands for me to touch them, but I totally ignored them because I don't even know why as I just don't want to touch any of them like I might get COVID19 or something. Then, there are also some boys that are cheering for me and I think they are just decently cheering and so I smile at them but when they gives me flying kisses, I stopped and turns my face away. I feel like giving them a bucket of ice over their heads because I really don't like the flying kisses, it annoys me.

Worst is when I look at the team who is the second place, it is Tongming, they seems so angry with me, like they would like to swallow me up. I just don't care because I work hard, I practice hard and this is my reward.

After getting the trophy, the Dean of the University wanted to take some photos with the winner which is me. I am never a social butterfly and so this is quite uncomfortable for me but somehow, I still managed to smile for the cameraman which honestly, I think I did exceptionally well today. However, when the Dean invite all the contestants, winners and organizers for a bite at the Hotel to celebrate a successful competition, I turned it down quietly by sneaking out from the back door.

"Hey Bo, why don't you want to join them at the hotel, I think you deserve it the most" Seoungyoun told me.

I just shake my head and then I told him

"This is not what I come for?" I told Seoungyoun

"Then, what do you come here for then?" Seoungyoun frown and asks

"Mnn...to win the first prize and then go home" I told Seoungyoun

"Why?, for what and FOR WHO?" Seoungyoun winks and asks

"To prove to myself that I can do it" I told Seoungyoun and I am now getting irritated because I think I have already spoken a lot.

"OK, come and celebrate then" Yixuan wanted to pull me

"NOOOOO, I want to go home" I told him irritatedly

"O-Ok man, I am just hoping that you will be more happy after wining and celebrating" Yixuan told me with a frown.

Then, I starts thinking, these two friends are my only friends in my life and they have stayed with me for the past 3 years accepting my quietness and unwillingness to talk, yet they never abandoned me like my father and brother. I begins to hate myself for losing my cool, so I soften and told them

"Er, I am tire and I thought I better go home and s-sorry" I told them and their eyes almost drop off their socket

I am learning from Sean that it takes a bigger man, a strong person to be the first to apologise and I am learning now although it seems unwilling to them but their reaction is a pleasing results of learning
