"I have never thought about that so I cannot give you a straightforward answer. But what do you think? Do you think she was my first love or not?" Yifeng asked, moving closer to her.
"You are asking me what I think about your relationship with her when I wasn't there, when you were flirting with her? And I have never fallen in love with anyone so I can't tell if your best friend was your first love," Yang Zi said looking away.
"Then why did you say she was not only my best friend but also my first love if you are so ignorant about the matter of the heart? Don't tell me you asked because you are jealous," Yifeng asked, trying to sound as playful as he usually did. Yang Zi instantly turned to face him when she heard what he just said. She wouldn't have turned around if she had known that Yifeng had brought his face closer to her cheek. Their faces were so close. Anyone who stepped into the office at that moment could mistake them for kissing each other if they did not move closer to where they were sitting.
"Why will I be jealous?" Yang Zi asked sternly, staring into his dark eyes. She could smell mischievousness all over him. She found it hard to believe that his mood transformed within the blink of an eye.. "Is he pretending to be happy for my sake again?" Yang Zi assumed, still staring into his eyes.
"Because you like me," Yifeng said, moving even closer to her. He felt the urge to kiss her, but he resisted with all his strength.
"What do you think you are doing?" Yang Zi asked, seeing his affectionate filled eyes.
"Nothing, just staring at you close by so I won't forget how you look even though I was to go blind later," Yifeng joked raising his right hand to her face. "I am so glad that you are alright now," Yifeng said, caressing her face.
"That is because of your strong will. You didn't give up even though I spoke harshly to you or pushed you away. Thank you so much friend," Yang Zi said, patting his hair. Her actions stunned Yifeng.
"What are you doing treating me like some child?" Yifeng asked, holding her hand, which was on his head.
"Ok, I know it might look that way but I don't know other ways to thank you apart from doing this," Yang Zi spoke innocently.
"What do you mean you don't know ways to thank me? You can caress my face like I did. You can also give me a peck or kiss, I won't reject it," Yifeng said shamelessly, smiling at her.
"You are so naughty. Since you did such a great deed today. I will grant you one of your requests but don't forget to send the six songs to me. I might desperately need them soon," Yang Zi said, pretending as though she wanted to kiss him. She could not help smiling when she saw him close his eyes.
"What were you thinking? Having dirty thoughts again," Yang Zi said, pulling his nose gently like he normally did to her.
"How could you be so cruel to tease me in that manner?" Yifeng asked, pulling her right cheek gently.
"You did that so many times to me so I was just taking my sweet revenge on you and it feels so nice," Yang Zi said, smiling along with his. His smile was so contagious. She couldn't resist smiling along with him. They kept on teasing each other for five minutes before Yang Zi raised her right hand and placed it on his face.
"I know my words might not matter but my condolences on your best friend's demise. Just like you want me to move on. I will also suggest you do the same. I don't know what happened but all I want to tell you is that it is not your fault you were the one left behind and neither is it their fault for abandoning you. It's all about fate," Yang Zi said, caressing his face. All this while they were laughing and playing, Yifeng thought she had forgotten about all he had said, not knowing that she was just waiting for the right timing to speak about the topic.
"Neither is it your fault too. Stop according blames to yourself. You have the right to be happy just like every other lady," Yifeng said, caressing her face too. It was at that minute Su Jin and Yuan Quan entered the office.
"Goddamn it," Su Jin exclaimed, staring at them. Since Yifeng had brought down the folds, they didn't know that they were having their sweet time together. He would have left if he had seen from the glass walls that this was what they were doing. No matter how many times Yuan Quan has seen them this, he could never get used to it. He was as shocked as the first time he saw them this intimate.
"Sorry for the interruption. I guess I will have to come back later," Su Jin said, turning to leave.
"You didn't Interrupt. We were just discussing so you don't have to leave," Yang Zi said, moving a few distances away from Yifeng.
"Discussing? What discussions were you having that warranted you both to caress each other's face affectionately?" Su Jin asked curiously as he walked to where they were sitting. He sat on the opposite couch giving them suspicious glares.
"It's none of your business," Yifeng said, annoyed that they had to enter the office the time they did. He was enjoying his time with her, but they ruined everything.
"I know that is what you would say. I now understand why Wen Min said you are the biggest bully on earth," Su Jin said playfully. His gaze was on Yang Zi the entire time. He wanted to see whether she was now alright because according to what he saw the last time he visited, Yang Zi was like a walking dead.
"You are no different from me," Yifeng replied, staring at him.
"If you guys are going to continue bickering at each other, then I and Yuan Quan will take our leave now. Call, if you need any of us," Yang Zi said as she stood up and walk towards the entrance. When he got to where Yuan Quan was standing she looked at him.
"Aren't you coming with me," Yang Zi asked, tapping his shoulder. He quickly snapped out of his daze.
"I was about to," Yuan Quan replied, turning to leave with her. Immediately after they exited the office, Yifeng and Su Jin's expression changed to a serious one.
"I can see there is a tremendous improvement in her condition from the last time I visited your office. Is she ok now?" Su Jin asked curiously.
"I don't know whether she is ok or is pretending to be alright but all I can say is that her condition has improved. I will continue trying until I see that she is perfectly fine," Yifeng said seriously.
"Did Miss Qing Shui Shui enlighten you about why she is acting this way?" Su Jin asked, staring at him for answers. Yifeng hesitated to reply when he recalled what Qing Shui told him about how sensitive Yang Zi get whenever her past is brought up.
"Sorry Jin, but I can't narrate what she told me to you. It's not that I don't trust you, I do, but I am certain Yang Zi will hate me if she finds out about this," Yifeng said apologetically. He trusted his best friend, but he knew he would intrude into Yang Zi's privacy if he told him all that Shui Shui relayed to him.
"I understand so how is your preparation going?" Su Jin quickly changed the topic.
"Perfect, Miss Qing even promised to convince Mr Luo on my behalf," Yifeng said. What he failed to tell Su Jin is that he hasn't finished preparing his gift for her.
"Wow, that is great. I was damn surprised when you told me she agreed to meet you. I guess Yang Zi's efforts in setting up our weekly meeting have finally yielded excellent results," Su Jin said.
"I don't know if Yang Zi's efforts yielded good results or not because she sternly told me she only agreed for Yang Zi's sake. She also said I should not delude myself that we are friends just because she has spoken to me," Yifeng relayed. At the moment, he did not know how to feel. He was happy that at least one of her friend had spoken friendly to him while, on the other hand, he felt unhappy that he couldn't win over their trust.
"I have told you countless times that winning their trust will take time so don't feel unhappy about how they treat you. I heard from Wen Min that they have been friends for over a decade. I am sure they have a valid reason for being so overprotective of Yang Zi, so try to be more understanding," Su Jin advised. Within the space of a month, he knew what Yifeng has gone through in the hands of Shiyi and Shui Shui. The experience wasn't a nice one. They only treated him nicely because they didn't see him as a threat, but that wasn't the case with Yifeng.
