・・・☆・Four ・ ・・・☆

Okay so YingYue could only have one day a week when she awoke with a pep in her step and an overall enjoyment of the morning. Most of the time she just couldn't do anything in the early hours of the day. It was another one of those days when her phone went off at least four or five times in a row before she willed herself to get out of bed and start getting ready for the day. She was very tempted to just not attend her first lecture and go the later one that day, maybe. And as she texted the group chat about this possibility she was not surprised but a little annoyed by the answer.

YeetYue:

X-men:

You can finish your makeup in the car. I'll drive steady on purpose.

YeetYue:

I make no promises

And with this new encouragement she quickly tried to get herself together. Going to the wardrobe she picked items of which would be easy to put on. Putting on a pair of slim tailored black trouser and a white shirt. She pulled on a maroon knitted cardigan, rolling the sleeves so that they were folded under the cuffs of the sleeve. She matched this with her maroon watch and the gold bracelet the group had brought her for her birthday the year earlier. She very quickly did the majority of her makeup with the only thing that she had yet to do being her lipstick. But as she looked at the two different shades of red she didn't know which one to choose. She quickly pulled on a pair of dark red chunky heels before picking up her bag and placing her laptop inside. She had only just finished packing her bag for the day when a text sound played. It was the distinctive sound of a text coming from Ximen as she had a set ringtone for him. You know as you do. 

She then rushed down the stairs not staying long enough to properly greet the members of the staff other to shout a thanks and I love you as she ran out the door. 

"Looking gorgeous once again Red" He commented once again opening the door on her behalf before getting in himself and driving off. The ride was in a comfortable silence until she checked her makeup in the mirror and let out a little squeak. 

"I almost forgot the lipstick I think I packed two." She mentioned rumbling around in her bag before bringing the two out. She stared at the two for a couple of minutes trying to work out which one she thought would look best. Though this pondering ended up taking the remaining part of their journey as she continued to debate once they had parked. He lent over getting close enough that she could feel his breath on her neck. 

"The darker one" He mentioned before reaching down and unbuckling her seat belt before jumping out his side of the car. She applied it as he walked around to the passenger side which might have been her side of the car and opened the door. He stood there watching as she finished applying it before helping her out of the car as they headed to where the rest of their friends awaited. 

"YeYe you made it!" Cheered Meizou

"Still look like Shrek"

"Zip it donkey" She replied giving Si a little push as he faked wobbling. The five continued to joke about for the most part as they all relinquished in the fact that the school year was only three days in yet it had felt like they had already been there a month. 

"Daoming Si!" Came the loud and aggravated voice of Shancai as everyone's heads turned towards the very angry girl as she stormed her way towards the group. The five had seen the girl angry before but this felt like it was much worse than the previous occasion. If someone could have edited her face, YingYue was sure that they would have put the steam coming out of her ears and the red face. Xi-Men didn't have enough time to pull YingYue behind him as Shancai jumped into the air performing a perfectly aimed flying side kick to Si's face. Knocking him both down and unconscious. 

This was the opportunity for XiMen to pull YingYue behind him though this time she was completely covered by his body, as despite the heels she was still not as tall as he was. YingYue was shocked over the situation as she clung onto the back of Ximen's jacket her hands shaking slightly. She was impressed over the girls capability but she was also shocked that it had happened so fast and that her friend, whom was thought to be untouchable was straight up unconscious and lying on the floor.

She watched as Lei and Meizuo went over to the unconscious rich boy and picked him up by the arms. They dragged him over towards the bridge room thinking it would be the best place for him to wake up. Setting him in a chair in the room, she watched as Meizuo and Ximen worked together to wrap the unconscious friend up to mimic an Egyptian mummy. She let out a loud laugh as this happened taking to recording the process on her phone. She continued to laugh as they wrapped his legs around a pole with the toilet paper hoping it would prevent him from standing up properly. 

As this process was occurring, Lei had turned to her.

"That girl, Dong Shancai is quite something" He started the conversation as she studied him. Looking for the tell tale characteristics he had when he liked someone. The characteristics she had only see him have for Jing though she thought she may have seen a slight something it was not much. So she brushed it aside for now.

"Ah Si, deserved a beating" Meizuo added to their conversation happily letting out a laugh as he added the finishing touches to the mummified F4 member. 

"It was coming, he was being unnecessarily harsh to her" Commented YingYue as a frown covered her features. Lei placed and hand on her should giving it a little rub to which caused her to turn towards him giving him a smile. 

"Dong Shancai, just did the work of God today" Commented Ximen as he stood back and looked at his work he had done on the mummification. And the three discarded cardboard rolls from the toilet rolls they had used. Was it a pointless use of the toilet roll? Yeah it was, but it was still pretty funny anyways. 

Meizuo had quickly pulled out his phone getting ready to take photos of the masterpiece they had created. He turned it onto the front camera mode and very quickly started narrating their current situation.

"Hi it's Feng Meizuo reporting from the crypts of Egypt. Today our team has discovered a rare mummy." He reported as he recorded the 'mummy'. He edged closer to the 'mummy' using his finger to press on the bump which had formed on the 'mummy's' head. "Quite possibly the unluckiest man of the 21st century he sports a bump from a girls flying kick" He continued to film making sounds as he poked and prodded the still unconscious man. He let out a laugh as the toilet paper began to fall from Si's head and as Ximen rushed over to reposition it. She let out another laugh as Meizuo wrapped up the filming of: Dioming Si's first knockout.

"Come one lets get a photo together to remember this" Encouraged Meizuo as he turned the camera onto selfie mode and passed it to YingYue.

"You take the most photogenic selfies" He explained as she took a seat in front of the 'mummy' and the three other boys got into position behind the 'mummy'. She took a series of four photos before sending three so that everyone could have a slightly different photo of the occasion. For memory purposes. 

Not long after doing this did Si raise his head. "What time is it?" He groaned a pain surfacing in his head. And this was when she had an idea.

"Oh Ah Si, you're awake its been three months. We thought you were never going to wake up. We had started to plan your funeral." To which she was pushed by Lei. She then watched as he tried to explain what happened and then tried to have another go at Shancai.

"Did you know she was attacked on the way home from delivering your order last night?" commented Lei as YingYue turned to look at the mummified member.

"She was attacked?" Came her delicate voice as a horrified look crossed her features. "She wasn't harmed right?" She questioned again watching as Lei's features dropped.

"Only mildly shocked" He replied watching as the girls facial features did not change rather she became more distressed if possible. 

"What has that got to do with me? Besides, those two boys must have been stupid to pick on her." Came the reply of Si. YingYue's features continued to drop as a tear welled in her eyes. She felt the pain as if she was the one to have been attacked by two men in the night. She felt terror as if they were going for her and could only imagine what Shancai must have been feeling during that moment. Unbeknown to her the tears which had welled in her eyes had slowly started to fall down her cheeks. 

She cried for the girl as she started to think of the situations it could have ended up in had Lei not turned up. She felt arms wrap around her waist as she was pulled into a chest. The hands on her waist rubbed small circles She stood there for a short period of time as the others talked around her and she tried to control her emotions. 

Eventually she was moved from the room to outside as they had decided to allow Si to unwrap himself for being rude and because it would be funnier to allow him to do it on his own. she instantly recognised the hand which held hers and led her out the room. And she didn't want to let go. But as her eyes remained trained on the floor she let out another sigh. She just couldn't seem to move on past the what if's of the situation and rather kept a small frown on her face as they went to their next lecture.

It was eventually lunch and when she was pulled into the cafeteria she was sat straight down at the table they normally sat at as Ximen went to go and get lunch for the pair. He only ordered one dish as he knew she was probably not going to each much and then would feel like she was wasting food which could have feed the homeless and would be sad again. When he brought the food back to the table and sat across from her, she did not move her head up to look at him.

"Hey red" He commented watching as she looked up at him once he had used the nickname. He had already put a serving of which he then looked at her before she complied and allowed him to feed her. He then alternated between feeding himself and feeding her watching as she focused on something else and became happier at the simple process. But he knew he'd do anything to make her smile and this was nothing. 

And that evening after school he was still determined to keep her smiling. Therefore, in the process of taking her and Lei home, he decided they were going to stop at the shopping centre and he'd treat her to a drink and cake whilst he was at it. 

Lei had directed them to a specific tea shop, though he didn't complain as he worked on making sure the girl continued to smile. When they entered though he soon worked out why they had come to visit this shop in particular. Behind the counter stood no other than Shancai as she started to serve the three. He made a cheeky comment but was ignored and turned towards YingYue with a pout on his face. 

"Ohh Ximen you're still funny to me" She commented as her right hand ran its way down his right arm. She stopped as her hand hovered over his right watching as he opened his palm and held onto her hand. Normally he would have flirted with the other girl stood behind the counter just for the sake of it. But seeing the position he was in now he couldn't bring himself to do it knowing that he could loose the woman who meant the most to him, before he had even got her. 

"What would you like" He spoke lowly though it had caught the attention of Shancai's friend who watched the couple in awe. 

"Nothing will be as good as the tea you make but maybe one of the cupcakes" She mentioned watching as his face lit up in a smile. 

"You heard the beautiful lady, a cupcake and a black jasmine tea" He ordered quickly pulling out his phone with his left hand and paying before she got the chance to do so herself. He stuck his tongue out at her when she tried to protest before passing the box and drink her way as they turned and headed out the little shop.

"Who were they?" Asked Shancai's friend Xiaoyou asked as the three had left the building. 

"HuaZe Lei, Yan Ximen and Jiang YingYue, two members of F4 and the princess of the school" responded Shancai before she hinted she was very done with the whole conversation. 

The three had made it back to Ximen's car and chatted idly before they dropped Lei off and headed back to YingYue's house. When Ximen pulled up she turned towards him. 

"Do you want to maybe come in for a little while?" She asked looking him in the eyes. And when their eyes locked he found himself completely unable to say no to her.

"Of course I can come in. I'll let my parents know I'm staying out late" He replied quickly typing on his phone

"So my mum has just said to spend as long as possible at yours" He laughed as she used her key to unlock the front door. 

"To the east wing" She commented pulling him by his hand and towards her section of the house. They passed many guest rooms before coming across her living room. It was the place they spent the most time together alone due to it having many sofas and blankets they could lay on and enough each others presence. Also there was a tv in here which she did not have in her bedroom. 

Turning on the tv for background noise they soon sat on the sofa with very minimal distance between the pair. His arm was slung on the back of the sofa as she leaned slightly into his chest. The pair spent most of their time talking without much of a real point to the conversation or a direction it was heading in. 

At one point in the evening some of the Jiang staff brought the pair food after YingYue had let her mother know that Ximen was in the house. They had eaten together once again taking it in turns to feed each other rather than themselves. A film had been put on and despite her best attempts, she could feel herself become unable to maintain an interest in the film but rather heading towards falling asleep in his arms. By this point they had shifted slightly so that she was curled into him. 

She had very quickly from then onwards fallen asleep in his arms and he shifted the pair so that they remained on the sofa but were in a much more comfortable position for spending the night upon the small item of furniture . He too found himself falling asleep very quickly after she had gone to sleep herself. 

It wasn't until an hour or so after the pair had fallen asleep that her mother wandered and stumbled across the pair. The female head of the household had initially come to find the pair to ask the boy whether or not he was staying the night to only get her response when she walked into the room. She brought another blanket over to cover the two before turning off the light and asking for one of the staff members to not only wake the pair up with enough time for them to get ready for school but to also fetch some clothes for the boy to wear the next day.

She brought out her phone pressing the number of his mother.

"Hey its YangYang" spoke YingYue's mother as his mother picked up

"Just letting you know that Ximen's spending the night here. They both fell asleep on the sofa. I think we'll have no problems setting this whole thing up. They're truly made for each other." She gushed as the two mothers spoke a little more before agreeing that two of their employees would meet to make sure the boy could have clean clothes for school the next morning.
