Changing into her night dress, ZouMi came back after ten minutes, and she saw Gu Huan in the kitchen with a serious expression wearing a light blue apron, which originally belongs to her, skillfully cutting the vegetables.
"Hey, what are you cooking, let me help you." she offered her help.
"No need, wait for me on the dinning table. It'll be ready, soon." He smiled politely, and made her set on the stool.
After several minutes, a bowl with noodles and perfectly cooked vegetables on the tops were place in front of her. The sweet aroma filled her nostril tugging directly to her heart.
He sat opposite to her, face to face she gazed at him and blurted out.
"Well... How many more favors are you going to do for me?"
"It's up to you, if you think it's a favor, then it is. If not, then it's not." He shrugged his shoulder.
"What do I think, you say."
"Well, a friend or a brother"
"Brother, Ugh! No I already have three and trust me,
When YangYang reached office, as usual a figure stood at her parking slot daily. She wished to hit him, but controlled herself. After parking her car, before she could open the door, the door opened from outside and a man extended his hand towards her. Slapping his hand away, YangYang collected her things and came down, the man tailed her like a dog."Mr. MaoHo, do you know, you're annoying?" From the day, he met ZouMi, his behavior totally changed towards her. He acted as a caretaker for her, with no sign of the old rude MaoHo, when he is with her. But, he treated others the same as he used to. Her office was arranged right beside his, and he would enter, whenever he wants.MaoHo, totally ignored her words and tailed behind her, after getting confirmation from her sister, he need not think of anything, except of making her fall in love. But, it's easy to say than to do, her previously broken heartache, isn't healed yet, and she fears to trust anyone, which he was well a
Engrossed in her work, ZouMi had no idea of time, until she felt someone near her, out of reflex, she formed a fist, ready to punch with all her might. The person beside her sensed her next move, and held her wrist right before his face. With her head hanging down, and her free hand was trying to reach for the gun near her waist, stopped when she heard the voice."Are you always on guard?"She raised her head and met with a handsome face, paired with deep hazel blue eyes, she felt something stuck in her throat, which was unable to swallow, she could feel his hot breath on her cheeks."You... Why.. How are you here?" she stuttered."When did you start stuttering?""Ahmm." Clearing her throat, she recovered from her shock and moved back lightly, to make a space between them."Gu Huan, what are you doing here? I mean how did you come in?"Pointing at the door with his index finger, "Except of this, is there any way to enter or leave? Or a
"Follow me." The doctor said.Si Ban walked with him, when he sensed Gu Huan, following them, he turned around."You wait here." He said and left.Gu Huan, thought for a while but, ignored Si Ban's, warning eyes and followed them.Si Ban, and the doctor entered a room, but Gu Huan just stood outside the room and listen to their conversation.Gu Huan heart was pricked with a needle with each passing words between them. He didn't know, how he came back to the ward and entered in ZouMi's, room and sat on the chair beside her.He observed her face, which was pale like a white sheet, her fair sun kissed skin exposed in light more brightly. With her eyes closed, she looked like a sleeping doll, unknown to his actions, he bent down and kissed ZouMi's forehead. Before he could kiss her forehead, his eyes widened, snapping back from the daze, he moved. But, as if this was what he does all the time and is familiar to doing this, he was normal. He coul
After having their lunch in silence, Gu Huan and Si Ban, both sat on the sofa with their mind somewhere else. The silence was disturbed by someone's phone, which was Gu Huan, looking at the caller he sighed and said to Si Ban, "I need to receive this." and excused himself.After coming at the end of the corridor he answered the call."Grandpa." he greeted."You brat, where are you?""Grandpa, what's wrong you were coming today why haven't you arrived yet?" He changed the topic and choose not to answer his grandpa's question.As expected the old man forgot his question and charged towards Gu Huan with his furious words."You remembered, what a surprise! You brat, I'm still stuck here, I won't be coming, and you didn't even call me and asked about my delay. Don't tell me you forgot about your old man?""Grandpa, for once can you be less dramatic, please. I'm sorry, I didn't ring you, because I didn't see the time and when I did, you call
"After fainting did you got amnesia?" Gu Huan asked."Huh?" ZouMi was confused."Will you say the same to Si Ban, or the other two boys, who you were talking to?""Why would I? They are my fri...." Her eyes widened, and a guilt feeling flashed in her eyes.Gu Huan, chuckled and said, "I know you don't trust me, but don't worry, I don't need anything from you, it's just I promised being your friend and no one else is my friend.""What do you mean?" Completely shocked by his words."I never had a friend, since childhood." He said calmly.Her eyes widened in shock, "How come that is possible? How can one not have a friend?""Everyone is not lucky as some. So, look you have friends, family and siblings, still you don't care about your life. While some are alone in this world, wishing to have someone by their side, yet no one is, and they still choose to live." Gu Huan gave a word of encouragement to her."Who said I don't want to liv
"Y.... You've extra sensitive sense?" Quite shocked."Yes, I'm sorry this wasn't intentional."'Is this a coincidence or what? Someone can be this familiar? How can this be possible?'Seeing him in daze, ZouMi waved her hand in front of him and said, "Hello, earth calling Gu Huan.""Yes." He came back to his sense."Why do you blank out, while staring at me? This is the second time, you blank out." She asked, curiously."No, I was thinking of something, forget it. Are you, okay?""I'm fine. But why?""No, you just screamed calling your dad, did you have a nightmare?" Followed by his words ZouMi, let go of his hand and moved a bit. Her expression was something hard to guess, sad? Regret? Anger? All at once or none."Are you hungry, do you want to eat?" Seeing her like this, he knew she didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the topic.Forcing a smile, she was about to reject when the door opened and Si Ban came in
ZouMi, glared at the doctor, trying to tell him to discharge her."Stop glaring at him." Gu Huan, voice came from the side. Feeling helpless, she closed her eyes to calm herself down."Your stroke this time was big, when compared to the last ones. Thanks to him, if you would've been delayed for ten minutes, you would slip into coma. Stay a little longer here, at least for two days, and don't stress your body to an extent, which it couldn't bear. You're a human not a machine."ZouMi rolled her eyes on him and promised herself to teach a good lesson to him, soon.'Two days, I can't sit ideally here for two days, when the day I've been waiting for is, near. No way! I need to get out of here!' ZouMi was determined."Two days? What do you want me to do for two freaking days? Rot here?""Yes. If you think like that, then that's it. Even if you rot here, you've to stay for two days and guess what, you have no other choice." Before the doctor, could say a
After, three hours Gu Huan, waited for her to keep her laptop aside, but she showed no sign of that, so he stood up walked towards the bed and..."Hey! What are you doing?""What do you think, I'm doing?"This was the first time, someone actually dare to pull her laptop, while she is working and surprising, she didn't kill him."You really don't have any friends?""Why did you suddenly ask?" He was shocked at her changing situations."Say na, you really don't have a friend?""I had...""What do you mean by 'had'?""Sigh... I lost contact and have no idea where my friend is." Gu Huan shake his head."This justifies...""What for you need, justification?"'You're so annoying, why would anyone be a friend with you.' She screamed in her brain but, didn't voice out, because she took him as a friend.'Wait, what? Did I just take him as my friend?'Not hearing anything from her, he said, "Times
