In the courtyard of Xu Residence, when Wu w.a.n.g parked the car and got down, he saw Yang Ziyi being all grumpy.
"What"s wrong with you now?" He asked while he was spinning the key chain on his index finger.
"I thought you were gonna take me to a fancy restaurant for a fancy dinner." Yang Ziyi retorted softly.
"Do you care about fancy food or fancy restaurant?" He asked in amus.e.m.e.nt.
Yang Ziyi stared straight at his face and said matter of factly, "Obviously, both!"
"Well, I can"t say anything about the restaurant part but I can promise you that you"ll surely have a fancy dinner." Wu w.a.n.g had no doubt about this certain detail. After all, it was Xu Mey who was cooking herself.
Yang Ziyi sighed heavily. "If you say so. I"ll reluctantly go inside to try this fancy food." Seeing her acting like a drama queen, Wu w.a.n.g really wanted to reach out to pinch her cheeks.
And he would have done that if he hadn"t seen Li Qiao coming his way with Yu Kim. Both were grinning like lunatics as they were lost in the eyes of each other.
Yang Ziyi also turned to see where the sound of giggling was coming from and saw a flushed Yu Kim. "Ah, young love..." She remarked dreamily.
Wu w.a.n.g flicked her forehead and said, "What young love? Can"t you see they both are of our age? Not young at all."
Yang Ziyi scowled at him. "I"m calling their love as young. I didn"t call them young."
Wu w.a.n.g rolled his eyes at her. "They had been in love for the past decade. How is their love called young? Have you lost your mind?"
Yang Ziyi slapped the back of Wu w.a.n.g"s head and added, "Have you ever seen them holding hands like that? Or perhaps, being this coy?" Wu w.a.n.g frowned and shook his head in negation. "Then obviously, this love is still young. Now, shut up! If I said it is young, then it is! You can"t insist on me being wrong."
"Why not?"
"Because I"m never wrong. Even if I am wrong, you can"t point it out to me." Yang Ziyi answered twirling her hair around her finger.
"Hey, w.a.n.g! Why are you standing here?" This voice not only caught the attention of Wu w.a.n.g and Yang Ziyi, it even brought Li Qiao and Yu Kim out of their own little world.
Looking at Sun Ju, Yang Ziyi was star struck. Why? Because she had been fascinated by the fact that Sun Ju and Lin Shen had been together since they just graduated from high school. Even more so, she had great respect for Lin Shen, so it was obvious that she"d like Sun Ju as well. If her Dr. Shen loves this girl, she"ll do exactly the same.
"I was waiting for our Ju-Ju to drag our mister doctor here." Wu w.a.n.g answered playfully. "By the way, did I mention our Ju-Ju is getting gorgeous with each pa.s.sing day. Oh, no, no. By each pa.s.sing second."
Sun Ju knew he was again teasing her but she was the only girl except for Xu Mey who was used to the friends.h.i.+p of this group. Therefore, she didn"t mind at all. Instead, she hit Wu w.a.n.g"s chest. "You and your glib tongue. It"s no wonder you are called the flower boy of the century."
As they were joking around, Wu w.a.n.g felt a burning gaze and turned to look at Yang Ziyi glaring at him as if she was ready to throw arrows through her eyes. "What?" He asked with cautiousness.
Yang Ziyi took a step close to him and said in a threatening voice, "You playboy! Don"t you dare try to seduce my Dr. Shen"s girl! I"ll murder you with bare hands. You should know as a doctor, I"m quite skilled with knives." She made a slitting throat gesture making Wu w.a.n.g gulp visibly.
"Haha..." Bouts of laughter spread around. "This little doctor is as amusing as Shen-Shen said. Aww... I love her." Sun Ju touched Yang Ziyi"s head like a puppy. Feeling a strange sense of warmth, Yang Ziyi"s anger was immediately deflated.
Yang Ziyi looked at Sun Ju"s affectionate eyes and felt touched. She wasn"t even embarra.s.sed at all. "Close your mouth. Your drool is touching your s.h.i.+rt." Yang Ziyi fell for Wu w.a.n.g"s trick as she touched her mouth but it was dry.
This time, Sun Ju slapped Wu w.a.n.g toa avenge Yang Ziyi. "w.a.n.g, be nice. She"s such a pretty and cute little doctor." Sun Ju left Lin Shen"s side to hold Yang Ziyi"s hand. "I heard you really look up to my Shen-Shen." Yang Ziyi nodded her head in a daze. "Then if you don"t mind, call me sister Ju. I"m older than you anyway. Do you mind?"
Yang Ziyi frantically shook her head. "I don"t mind..." Pressing her lips, she hesitated before saying out, "Sister Ju."
"Oh, look. She"s certainly very obedient." Sun Ju was glad to hear that.
Wu w.a.n.g knew the reason why Sun Ju allowed Yang Ziyi to call her a sister was because she knew Yang Ziyi was all alone. Sun Ju must have seen herself in Yang Ziyi as she chose to become a family for Yang Ziyi just like Lin Shen became family for Sun Ju years ago when she was left all alone in this world.
Perhaps, this is why he loved his friends so much. They were always ready to offer their love and care to people whom they liked. It seemed like this bunch of friends took "Sharing is caring" too literally.
