Don't Take Me Lightly 42. CABIN
The next couple of weeks passed quietly as they settled into their routines. Classes came and went, but there was one change Lin couldn't escape: Pei had made it his mission to whip him into shape.Some mornings meant going for a run; others involved hitting the gym. Swimming was the worst. Lin swore he was breaking world records with how long he was forced to keep going without a break.Mei had a great time keeping track of everything. Lin had even been signed up for combat training. He was learning how to throw punches, but he seemed to be on the receiving end of them more often.“God, poor Lin. Hopefully, he gets a break today,” Xue said.“Nope, he's hitting the gym again. Probably leg day, I think. He'll be wobbling around tomorrow,” Mei said with a laugh.“Schadenfreude.”“He asked for it.”“You were the reason, Mei. If only you'd minded your own business.”“Well, that ship has sailed. Let's go. We've got another class to attend.”Xue felt defeated, but there was a warmth in her h

The wings restaurant seemed to have turned into an interrogation room. Pei looked furious about what had happened. The police had taken care of the three guys, and the girl had been escorted back to her dorm. Pei had handled everything with care.Now, he had gathered them all together, and their night out had taken on the mood of a funeral.“Mei, you did it again? What did I tell you last time?” Pei demanded.“Brother, listen, it was a damsel in distress. I was just swooping in as the hero.” Mei tried to make it sound justifiable.Pei turned to look at Xue and Lin.“I broke my leg and got a black eye the last time I helped her. The eye was her handiwork. So, nope, I wasn't involved this time,” Xue said.“My right hand was in a cast for a month, and my neck was in a brace. I had a hard time even going to the washroom. Never again. But I did land the final punch this time, you know. She was kind of on the losing end,” Lin said.Pei turned back to Mei, who tried to adjust herself in her c

The night was young. The three of them had set out together towards the building where the festivities were taking place. As Mei had predicted, they weren't enjoying themselves.“We're only a year older. How can we have already outgrown this?” Xue asked.“I think this is cringe,” Mei said. Watching all the foolish games made her gag.“I guess I was the only one who never really liked this sort of thing,” Lin stated.“Hopefully, it'll be someone's night,” Xue said.They all decided to head out.“Where to?” Lin asked.“There’s a wings place right outside the campus. Let’s head there!” Mei suggested.“Good! Food is always the best,” Xue agreed as they all walked out of the campus.They had barely made it past the gate when they spotted three guys surrounding a completely drunk girl. At first, they seemed to be helping her. Mei watched them for a little longer, but Xue and Lin were already tugging at her, eager to get to the wings restaurant.The girl seemed completely wasted. The guys sur

Nina and Mei were enrolled in different courses. Nina had her mind set on business, while Mei was majoring in design. Classes were slow-paced on the first day, leaving everyone with some room to breathe.Xue was running late, too. Typical of her.Halfway through the class, she sneaked in and took the seat beside Mei.“The traffic, I swear,” Xue whispered.Mei shook her head, not believing a word she said.It wasn't long before the class ended. They packed their belongings and began walking out.“What about Nina?” Xue asked.“I thought we all had this class together. Wasn't this her elective?”“Yup, it was. She's in class with my brother. They managed to work out a schedule that lets them spend time together, so…”“Why am I not surprised?” Xue asked with a sigh.Mei merely shrugged.“So, Lin. Why didn't he join us? Wasn't he supposed to be there?” Xue continued.Mei stopped and thought for a moment. “That's right. Where was he? I left him with my brother. I have no idea.”“Well, I belie
