"He proposed to you!" Xiaoyou says surprised.

"Shh! keep your voice down and it's not like that. He made a proposal to sleep with him. He said sleeping with him is a way of an apology." I explain to Xiaoyou as I stack the cups in the correct sizes.

"That Dao Ming Si guy is really full of himself." She says to me and I nod in agreement. "Just say the word and we will march over there and kick his ass." Xiaoyou says as she puts up her two fits and I laugh at her actions.

"Why does he have to be so difficult? He couldn't just swallow his pride and apologize to me. He is so arrogant." I exclaimed.

"What are you going to do when you head back to school tomorrow?" Xiaoyou asked.

"Same as I always do. Ignore and avoid him." I admit to her.

"Dong Shancai. How dare you run from your problems?" Xiaoyou questions me as she gives me a motherly type disappointment look.

"I'm not Xiaoyou. I'm just avoiding unnecessary conflict." I tell her but she doesn't believe me.

"Whatever but if Dao Ming Si or whenever those other boys show up, don't let them bully you. You're a smart girl. Don't let them intimidate you." Xiaoyou says to me.

"I won't." I promise to Xiaoyou.

10:30pm
Xiaoyou is right. I won't let Da Ming Si scare me anymore. This is my year in college and I'm not gonna let him and his little clique F4 ruin it for me.

Before I get ready for bed, I decided to go on instagram for a bit. As soon as I get on, I see Xiaoyou tagging me in cute little puppy videos. Li Zhen tagged me as well in a cooking recipe post and Qing send me a picture of F4.

Despite the amount of likes and comments from girls I see, They only person from this group I can't keep my eyes from is Lei. He looks so cute in this picture.

"Hua...Ze...Lei." I type in my keyboard to search for his instagram page.

I finally find his instagram but nothing much posted on his account. Most of his post is him playing his instruments and some pictures of him and Dao Ming Si but once I scroll down further, I see this pretty girl giving Lei a hug.

She has both of her arms wrapped around him as she is as close as possible. Nearly about to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"She is so pretty." I say to myself but who is she?

Is she Lei's best friend? Maybe Girlfriend? After looking at the post, I start to remember what Dao Ming Si said to me.

"Well let me make this very clear for you. You can't like Hua Ze Lei. He is not interested in you and in fact, none of my friends are." He says.

Just remembering what he said has me thinking that's what he meant that Hua Ze Lei is not interested in me because he is with this pretty girl.

Makes sense. She is perfect for Lei. I could never compare to her.

8:30am

"Hey Shancai!" I hear my name being called. I turn to see Li Zhen and I smile.

"Hey Zhen. How you been?" I asked her.

"Great. I felt like I haven't see you around. Is everything alright?" She asked me and I nod.

I don't want to trouble her or get her worried about what's going on with me. I'm just a little bummed out because Hua Ze Lei could possibly have a girlfriend.

"Are you sure?" She asked again.

"Yes I am sure."I say to her.

Li Zhen and I walk together but we notice people moving to the side and scattering all over the place but that's when we notice F4 coming our way.

As we walk past them, it felt like it took forever to pass them because they are so tall and it's four of them. I watch Lei's tall figure the most. He just look more composed than the others.

"Shancai, I think Dao Ming Si was looking at you." Li Zhen said.

"Who cares." I say as we continue to walk into the building.

Dao Ming Si's POV
8:32am

"Guys do you know that Shancai is infatuated with me?" I say to my friends as I smirk to myself.

"Really?" Ximen says and I can hear the sarcasm in his voice.

"How is she infatuated with you?" Mei Zuo asked me.

"I brought her over to my house and she was practically begging to sleep with me. I couldn't do it though. She didn't look ready." I say to them.

"Ah Si you are many things but I seriously doubt that she likes you or even wants to sleep with you." Mei Zuo laughs and I turn and look at him.

"It's true." I say to him.

"Whatever Man." Ximen says as he and Mei Zuo and Lei walk pass me.

"Shancai!" I hear someone call out. I look over where Shancai is from a distance to see that guy that is always near her.

Is that her boyfriend? Is she seeing someone? Is that why she turned me down and didn't want to sleep with me?

Shancai's POV
10:30am
I just finished my Nutritions Class with Qinghe and it went pretty well.

"Shancai. What are you doing over the holiday?" Qinhe asked me.

"Hmm.... I am not sure." I admit to him.

"Well if you are interested, we should go to my family's beach house in the Sanya. My dad has a boat that we can ride. It will be fun." Qinghe suggested.

It really does sound like fun but I worry about the money for this trip.

"Qinghe....I really want to go but I don't think I have the money." I say to him doubtingly.

"Don't worry Shancai, You don't need money. All you have to do is show up." Qinhe says and I look up at him happily.

"Really?" I asked excitedly and Qinhe nods his head. "Okay I will think about it and let my parents know. I just don't want to leave me parents behind in case they might need me." I say to Qinhe.

"Alright." He says and we start to walk to our next class.

As me and Qinghe walks, he trips and slides on a banana peal, almost making me fall with him.

"Woah!" We say in unison.

"Qinghe, you alright?" I asked him as I help him up.

"Jeez, who could play a dirty trick like that?" Qinghe asked and I look down the hall to see Dao Ming Si walking away. My gut feeling is telling me that he did this.

That son of a bitch.

"Don't worry Qinghe. I'll be right back." I say to him as I let go of his arm and begin to jog my way down the hall. Dao Ming Si can mess with me all he wants but I won't allow him to bully my friend.

I try to follow up to where Dao Ming Si would go until I finally found him walking up the stairs. I quickly follow him up.

"Dao Ming Si!" I shout at him and he stops in his tracks. "Stop it. If you have a problem with me, tell me. Why are you bothering my friend?" I question him.

"Why? Are you pissed because of that farmer dude?" He asked him.

"Farmer Dude? He's my best friend Dao Ming Si. I won't let you bother him anymore." I state to him but Dao Ming Si just scoffs.

"What's wrong with you? I offer you sex and you chose to associate with that loser. What is wrong with your taste? What's so great about your lame friend like him?" He questions me.

"He's a million times better than an annoying guy like you. Being with him makes me feel 1,000 times, 10,000 times better!" I state to him but Dao Ming Si just chuckles a bit.

"Fine than I wish you two 1,000 times and 10,000 times happiness." Dao Ming Si says to me.

"You better just stay away from my friend. I won't tolerate with your bullying anymore." I say to him as I begin to turn and walk away.
