Because of Xu Mey’s persistence, Ye Jie didn’t bother lecturing Ye Jun in any possible way except for firing frozen glares at him from time to time. But the intense glares were akin to harmless flowers for Ye Jun. Because he perceived well enough, that Ye Jie won’t be able to do anything since he had Xu Mey’s protection.
The subsequent week, when Wu Wang arrived back to the country, the friends’ group voted to have a get-together.
On Friday night, they met at the illusions nightclub’s exclusive room on the 3rd floor. All of them sat at the couches with their drinks in hand, except for Xu Mey who was avoiding the drinks, for some reason.
This fact was very unusual for all of her friends. "Xiao Mey, are you alright? Why aren’t you drinking your favorite thing in the whole world?"
Before Xu Mey could answer Lin Shen’s question, they heard a loud gasp and turned to look at Wu Wang who had eyes as big as saucers. "Don’t tell me!" He screamed a little louder than necessary. Suddenly, he dropped the pitch of his voice and came close to Xu Mey asking, "Are we going to become Uncles soon?"
When his words registered in Xu Mey mind, her mouth opened wide. Then she gritted her teeth and punched Wu Wang’s chest like a punching bag. "Wang-Ge, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" she shouted making his ears hurt a bit.
Wu Wang made an innocent face while being assaulted by Xu Mey and said, "Did I say anything wrong? It’s about time that you give us some good news." He turned to Li Qiao, He Jian, and Lin Shen who were busy in trying to muffle their laughter and asked, "Did I say something wrong guys?"
All of them shared a look before darting their eyes between Xu Mey’s fuming face and Wu Wang’s nonchalant expression. "Yes... You’re in the wrong." They all voiced out simultaneously making Wu Wang shake his head.
’I knew it! You guys will ditch me as always!’ Wu Wang thought bitterly. ’But who cares? I would have done the same for her.’
"See! Wang-Ge, only you have a weird mind." Xu Mey remarked taking pleasure in the fact that all of them took her side instead of Wu Wang.
Wu Wang smiled seeing the smug smile that bloomed on her beautiful small face and couldn’t help smiling himself. "Xiao Mey, it’s very obvious that I’ll conjecture such a thing." Xu Mey’s brows crinkled up. "You love to drink and today, you haven’t even touched a single glass of alcohol. It just gave me the suspicion that maybe..." He coughed lightly and went on, "There might be a little bunny on the way to us."
Xu Mey scowled, crossing her arms before her chest, she said, "I don’t think getting a little bunny to this world is that easy. Also, I’m not drinking because Ah-Jie doesn’t like it when I drink." She smiled beautifully and added, "He said that alcohol is good for my health and if I’ll be sick then he’ll be worried. And, since I don’t want to see him worried, I decided to not drink at all."
Her words were on a whole new pinnacle of strange for all them that Li Qiao spurted out the drink in his mouth, Lin Shen started coughing awkwardly while He Jian was finding it difficult to maintain his calm demeanor.
They all stared wide-eyed at her and wondered if she was really their best friend or someone else. Although they kept their suspicion to themselves; Wu Wang didn’t. "Who are you? And what have you done to my Xiao Mey?"
"What are you saying, Wang-Ge?"
Wu Wang scrutinized her and said, "You can’t be my Xiao Mey... She didn’t serve me so much dog food. So, tell me who are you?"
Xu Mey puffed up her cheeks and stomped her foot on Wu Wang’s making him wince in pain, "Ouch!"
"Do you believe now that it’s still me. One and only, Xu Mey! Your best friend."
Wu Wnag smiled broadly and held her shoulders saying, "Now I know. Only my Xiao Mey can be this cruel with her favorite brother."
"Who said you’re the favorite one?" Wu Wang bit his tongue when he heard three furious voices from behind along with glares that were piercing through the back of his head. He felt a shiver run up his spine at the intensity he had to bear.
He immediately raised his hands in defense and said, "I was kidding guys... No need to be this hyper for no reason." He laughed dryly.
Wu Wang was saved from the wrath of Li Qiao, Lin Sen, and He Jian when the door of the private room opened and in walked a beautiful face with a radiant glow on her face.
"Azalea!" He Jian was the first to recognize her and he immediately got up from his seat to walk up to Azalea who was smiling guiltily. "How are you here? Do you have any idea how much I’ve been worried? I’ve been looking all over for you but there were no tracks of you leaving this country at all."
"Jian-Ge Ge, calm down!" Azalea spoke trying to pacify him a bit. "I’ll tell you everything but you need to give me a chance to talk."
He Jian controlled his emotions and pulled her towards the couch with himself making her sit right beside himself and asked, "Okay... Ge-Ge will listen patiently." After a pause, he frowned and asked, "How did you know that I was here?"
"About that..." The voice came from Xu Mey who was scratching her ear sheepishly while biting her lip.
"Xiao Mey, do you know Azalea?" He Jian asked very calmly.
"Yes..." She replied.
"And you know where she was as well?"
It took Xu Mey some time to say, "Yes."
He Jian closed his eyes briefly trying to not get angry without knowing the whole story.
