I'm under the tree. It's been a few weeks since my encounter with Qing Jie. I've been thinking about what she said. Sigh. I hope she's right. I hope God would somehow...give her to me. To be mine. Hahaha. What am I thinking?
I feel sleepy so I closed my eyes. 
Suddenly I hear footsteps but my eyes remained close. They seem to be coming here. When they come close I feel them squat down. They smell like berries and apples. Just like Lan Zhan. Wait. Is it Lan Zhan? But she may run away again so I remained in my position with eyes closed.
They touch my face and then put a tiny bundle of hair behind my ear. My heart beats fast. Afterwards they touched my face. Very lightly. My how bold! I hope it's really Lan Zhan. Then I heard a deep sigh.
"God, what will Wangji do?" that voice. How I miss that voice! It's her. It's really her! I feel my heart beat even louder. 
After a few caress on my face with her thumb, she withdrawed her hand. Then I feel her stood up. I have to do something before she goes. So I opened my eyes then called her before she could go away. 
"Lan Zhan?" I pretended that I just have woken up from sleep. She stopped then turned towards me. 
"You're here. " I stood up. 
"Wangji is strolling." ah, so caressing my face is also called strolling huh.
" Hahah i see. I'll come with you then. " I saw her eyes widen a bit. 
"No need. Ying-ge looks tired. Feel free to sleep some more." she said then turn around but I stopped her. 
"Wait! I already slept quite long hahaha. Im fine now really" 
She reluctantly agreed. Surely Lan zhan did feel something. Why else would she do that? The caress arghhh. Then we walk side by side. 
"How are you? Xing chen said you're busier than usual." 
"Midterm is fast approaching." 
"Hahaha yeah right.  After midterms we should go out together." she stopped then looked at me.. What did I just say?!
" Ahh.. I mean we should all go out together. You know with Xing xing and Xichen ge "
"Is that necessary?" 
"For celebration, yes! We've been busy these past months so I thought we should you know get together. Oh! And Jiang cheng too! You know her right?"
" You are acquainted with her?" 
"She's my younger sister. Ah, I forgot to tell you her name." 
"But your surname.."
" Ah.. I'm adopted hahaha" 
"I see. Forgive me for asking." She answered with remorse.

"Oh no! It was fine. You did nothing wrong, Lan Zhan."

It's time to stop running away from myself. I must face it. I'm not defined by my feelings after all. So I decided to stop ignoring Wei ying. I've been coming back to the tree after I spoke with him the other day. But then Wei ying did not come. He must have been busy. Master's degree is hectic after all. It's fine. Better this way. Sigh. Seems like I cant concentrate in reading this book. 

I put the book in my bag, gather my belongings and decided to stroll aimlessly. While walking around, I arrived in the school yard. 

" Mian mian! I can't do this. So hard arghh" Wei ying? I looked closely. But I'm still a bit far from where they are with his girlfriend. Ah of course he would spend more time with his girlfriend. It's fine. Im fine. 
" Wei ying, it's fine! Dont push it if you really cant." I turn around to where I come from but...
" Ah! The beautiful freak weirdo is here huh" sigh. What a day. They surrounded me. 
"Pardon me" I said then tried to walk past them but they pushed me to the ground. Oh God can I at least give them a punch? Just today? I know self defense after all and I really dont want Wei ying to find out Im here. Sigh. Alright. Let's calm down. 
" I didn't say you can go! How dare you be bold huh!"
" Jiang cheng's not here and no one's gonna defend you " 
" Hahaha... Let's get it on! " then they started pouring out things in my head. Flour, the egg, sugar? What a waste .. I can already make a pancake out of this. May you forgive them for wasting the ingredients Lord.
" Hahahaha look at that!"
"How pitiful. You should stop walking like you're a big deal freak! "
" Hey!" Shouts a very familiar voice. Wei Ying's voice to be exact. 
Ah.. now Wei Ying's gonna see me like this. Sigh..

" Maybe you should let Xichen mentor you. As Christians we are advised to have one on one mentoring with the same gender, too. It's not that I dont want to do it you know hahaha"
"Yeah. Actually Qing jie mentioned it to me."
"Wei ying , are you really doing this for yourself, to actually know God or you're just pressured because you're surrounded by Christian friends and a special someone which is a christian too? Just asking.. "
"Of course I want to know God! You all seem to know Him in a different manner and I want to understand why" 
"Okay that's good. But I still think Xichen or any Christian male should mentor you. Besides, Im already engaged. It would not be good for us to be together like this. "
"Ah hahaha. You're right! I'm sorry"
"It's fine. I also agreed for a few days you know. Im equally at fault here."
" Thank you though. I've learned a lot from you. "
" No problem. It's God's grace. Let's go eat lunch "
" Alright!"
As we walk towards the building we saw a group of students. 
"What are they doing?"
We get closer and we saw a person sitting on the ground covered in flour and some eggs. Ahh this bullying thing again. 
" Hey!" they look at us. 
" What are you doing?"  I saw the person sitting on the ground get up. That bag and figure looks familiar. When the group scattered, she run fast. Huh?!
"Nothing! She's just so annoying!" 
" yeah! Always walks like she's such a big deal. We just want to teach her a lesson." 
"Ptui! You should have seen that freak reading her bible!" I clenched my fist. 
" Hahaha right! A waste of a beautiful face and figure! " 
Suddenly, the victim rose and run as fast as she can. 

"Look at her running like that Hahaha.. What a bitch! She runs fast!" I was going to punch them one by one but Mian  mian stopped me. 
" Let's go !" Then they started to to go.
" It may not be her, Wei ying. She cant be the only girl who reads the bible around here. Calm down." I inhaled sharply.
"That figure and that bag, I recognize that. I've seen it for how many times I've seen her, Mian-Mian."
"I see."
