I am currently walking towards the tree where I usually sit. This tree became my shelter from all the pressures of school activities. The peaceful shade GOd has given me to have. 
Arriving, I sat down and get the book called Redeeming love. 
A few moments....
" Xichen's mei mei! It's really you hahaha" I looked up and saw Wei ying.
I merely nodded at him then continued reading.

" Where's Xing xing? You seem to be alone today" he sat beside me. He smells like lotus.
" Library." I said not looking up.
" I noticed you're always alone coming he.. Ahh I mean do you come here alone all the time? "
" Mn."
" Why though?"
" Silence. Meditate."
"Hahaha.. Well since I'm here I must be disturbing you." 

"This is not my place. Feel free to stay."

" Ohhh~~ is that an offer?  Is it that you want me to stay?" 

"Ridiculous!" 
" hahaha..." Now I can't concentrate. Sigh. Maybe it was better driving him away. Or I'll just find another place

" What are you reading anyway? Is that a bible? " A bit surprised, I looked up at him.

Wei ying's pov
Not a talker huh. What would be something that'll interest her ? Hmnnn...Ahh the bible. Maybe. The book she's holding  surely isn't a bible but...
"  What are you reading anyway? Is that a bible? " Then she looked up.. Gotchaaa..hahaha.. I laughed to myself.
"Yes."

"Wow, that's cool! I read the bible sometimes, too. It has an old and new testament right? " Jie jie would punish me and Jiang cheng by letting us  memorize multiple chapters from it because we quarrel hahaha
"Yes. Are you a Christian?" 

" No no.. Hahaha. My Jie jie is. She reads us some bible stories. Me and my younger sister. " 
" I see." Then she went back to her reading
" Ah ah.. What is that bored response ! Im sure  Xichen has better response than this even though it doesnt interest him. Not interested with non christians eh? Not even gonna question who my Jiejie is?"
"I will speak with her when the opportunity comes." 
" Ohhhh~~~ Are you suggesting  I let you meet her? My , Xichen' s mei mei ! Were not even dating yet but then you're already suggesting to meet my family... Wait waittt! Im kidding .. Im kidding hahaha" jeez so serious hahaha.. I stopped her when she attempted to stand up.
" Silence!" she said as she huffed. Hahaha
" Hahaha alright alright!"
Hahaha.  Ah Lan Zhan Lan Zhan .. What a wonderful name. But I'll just call you Xichen's mei mei for now! It feels unique if im the only one to call you this. Just you wait Lan zhan I'll seriously study that bible and you're gonna be so impressed you wont look away from me ever. Hahaha

Time to go on to the choir practice. The chorale. My chosen club. As I was close to where the area is, a group of students surrounded me then make fun of me. Again. Sigh. 
" Here comes the bible girl..."
" hahaha such a waste of a beautiful appearance tsk tsk"
" yeah right! A beautiful weirdo freak hahah"
" Hey! Stop it fuc.. Puke freaking idiots!"  I laughed to myself 
" Yo pretty Jiang cheng why do you hang out with that freak anyway? " 
" Why do you care huh! And dont call me pretty! " Jiang Cheng attemped to throw a broom at them and they ran away while still shouting insults at me. Sigh. Mercies from above. I stopped her by touching her arm.
" Freaking puke idiots .. Lots of them! Don't they have a life to live?! "
"Let it go." 
She huffed.
"Why do you let them anyway? Not standing up for yourself. Not even once! They've been like that since I met you. Tche."
"Bless those who... " 
" Alright alright! But.. what's with the smile huh?" she said as my mouth lifted upwards a bit.
"Thank you." 
" Dont thank me. It's not for you.  I just hate those bunch of idiots. Tch. Let's just get inside" 
"If you say so." I said as I went ahead of her.
" Wha.. It's really not for you! Hey Lan Zhan!"  I laughed to myself again

Tsk. Bunch of idiots! Bullies. I really hate them. I know Jie says that we should love those kinds of people and not only those who love us back as it is written in the bible but they really piss me off. Lan Zhan's patience is really strong. Sometimes I envy her. With all her beautiful appearance and talent , intelligence and even her attitude. Her only flaw as those idiots said is reading the bible. I read the bible too. Even memorize it when Wei ge and I would quarrel. It's Jie jie's way of punishing us.  He's a year older than me but I don't really call him ge to his face. No matter what!
Though I dont see how reading the bible would be a flaw enough to be made fun of. Isn't it just like reading your favorite book?  These kinds of people seems to think otherwise.
I met Lan zhan just like this. Though it was quite worse before. If I hadn't intervened, she would be beaten more worse than her usual state. Were 1st years at that time.

" Hey! Stop it ya all. I'll report you to the dean if you dont stop this instant!" the three students quickly ran away
" Damn these people! What are they elementary students? Were already college for Go... sakee! " damn no swearing aloud.. Jie jie would be disappointed if she knows I swear again. Well , chastise me with that gentle voice of her anyways. 
"Bless those who persecute you...." I looked at her and saw her picking up a ruined ... Bible ? Ahh i see why now . Sigh. 
"Tch. Let me help you to the clinic."
"No need. I will go there myself. Feel free to continue on your destination."  

" Tch.. Don't be like that. Here lean on me." 


Present
" Tch. Where do you have that much patience anyways? " 
" God's grace." ahh.. Why did I even ask? I just huffed
