The tour in Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia were so successful that even as early as now, they’re already planning a repeat. The last stop would be Taipei, where they will have a 2-night performance, but before they proceed there they will have a 4-day break that everyone will surely take advantage of.
As for XY, she’ll be heading out to Taipei ahead of the rest of the company, and try to reclaim her life, as Anne has put it, its either that, or make her life more miserable, (you choose), she knew deep inside, that until now she has been longing for this chance again, to see Ximen, to know whether he thought of her during the 5 years that Xiao You stayed away, to know if he still is continuing with his 1 week policy, to know if she asked again, whether he will give her a week of his life, but most importantly to know if it is still Ximen that can give her happiness.
“This is it, its now or never”, Xiao You muttered as she step out of the airport, she immediately hailed a cab and instructed the driver to bring her to Maple hotel. As soon as she was settled in the cab, her thoughts went back to her last conversation with Anne.
“Are you sure you won’t come with me? There are lots of places I could take you to, you know, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the sights of Taiwan.” Xiao You mumbled uneasily,
Anne knowing what Xiao You was up to, hugged her friend again and reassured her, “ You can do this girl, and you have to do this alone. Much as we want to be there for you, this is something you have to face by yourself, but if ever you need us, just give us a call, but I wouldn’t be too worried, you have Sancai there, so I think you’ll be just fine”, Anne said with much conviction that finally made Xiao You realize the wisdom of what her friend just said.
“Thanks, and have fun! I’ll see you in 4 days”, XY said as she took her final steps that will bring her to Taiwan.
“Were here ma’m”, Xiao You was suddenly pulled out of her reverie as she heard the driver mutter those words. “ oh, ok, thanks a lot”, she replied as she stepped out of the cab and into the posh hotel of Maple.
Since it’s still early, only 10 o’clock, Xiao You has decided to take a shower first before trying to call Sancai. After 30 minutes, she was ready to take on a new chapter in her life. “Jia you, Xiao You! You can do this” Xiao You murmured while dialing the numbers, she was glad she was able to keep Ching He’s number, and through him he got Sancai’s home number at the Daoming mansion.
It rang 3 times before someone picked it up, she was quite nervous, not knowing how Sancai would react to her sudden phone call.
“hello, Daoming residence how may I help you?”, said the voice on the other end of the line.
“ hello, may I speak with Sancai please,” Xiao You replied,
“ who is calling please”, asked by the voice,
“ could you tell her its her friend Xiao You please”, she replied.
After a few seconds, she heard the voice she had missed on the other line, “Xiao You?!!!!!!”
“Hello Sancai……….”.
*********************************
Sancai and Xiao You is now enjoying their lunch at Maple’s restaurant, after that tearful talk on the phone, Xiao You was not able to stop Sancai from coming to Maple to see her (not that she was really stopping her, she just thought that she would be the one to go to Sancai’s house).
Xiao You was really happy to see a pregnant Sancai, sauntering to Maple’s lobby and screaming her name, but Sancai was quite surprised to see her friend looking gorgeous, and stylish.
******************************
They now transferred to Xiao You’s room for a more comfortable place of conversation. Sancai can’t help her tears from falling every time she looks at Xiao You, she was really happy to see her friend again, but blame it all on her hormones, that after every story of Xiao You, Sancai can’t help but cry. She was doubly happy to know that Xiao You was able to fulfill her dreams of becoming a ballerina.
“I’m going to invite all the guys in the mansion for dinner, so that they could see you, I’m sure everyone will be surprised!”, Sancai, gleefully said.
Before Xiao You can stop her, she dialed the DaoMing mansion, and instructed the cook to prepare a special dinner for her friend’s comeback. After her instructions to the cook, she then placed a call to her husband and the rest of F4, instructing Meizhou to bring his wife Xiao Qiao, and Lei to bring Jing, and for Ximen not to be late.
After all her calls are through she faced Xiao You again, and told her to get ready for they are now heading out to the Daoming mansion, Xiao You could just stare at her friend helplessly. “ Let’s go!”.
Daomingsi arrived at the mansion, and not sighting his wife started to holler out her name
“Sancai!!!!!!”.
“what are you shouting for, Pighead!”, annoyingly replied by Sancai.
“well, I’m here now, and you were nowhere in sight, so I called you, what’s wrong with that”, Daomingsi replied.
“And why did you call this special dinner for? What’s the surprise? But before Sancai can answer Meizhou with Xiao Qiao right behind him asked,
“yeah Sancai, what’s the surprise?”,
“ If you would all just be patient, and wait for everyone to arrive you’ll know it soon enough”, Sancai said with a smile on her face, and totally forgetting that she was annoyed with Daomingsi.
They then proceeded to the living room for some before dinner wine, and waited for the others to arrive; they didn’t have to wait too long, Lei and Jing arrived, with Ximen behind them.
In the meantime, in one of the guest room’s, Xiao You was really getting agitated, she is both excited and nervous in facing her friends again. She stood up, and faced the full length mirror telling herself that she’s ready, and that she’s looking her best so no need to worry, “you have gone this far, its time to face the music. JIA YOU, XIAO YOU!”, she said to herself as she heard a knock signaling that the group is complete and that it’s time for her to come down and show herself.
She heard them before she saw them; her heartbeat is drumming in her ears and in every step she take, she was brought closer…..
And there was Ximen…..
He was standing across the room, his dark head thrown back as he laughed at something being said. Xiao You’s heart pounded uncontrollably as her gaze took in his handsome features; how he appears to be elegant in dark long sleeved polo; the casual way he held his drink in his hand. She noticed every painfully familiar thing about him.
“Hello, everyone”, Xiao You softly said.
Ximen’s whole body snapped into rigidity at the sound of a soft sweet voice, and then he forced himself to turn. A sharp jolt of recognition was immediately followed by relief and then pure masculine admiration as his gaze drifted over Xiao You. He seem to be rooted to the spot while admiring her beauty but far more intrigued by the indefinable, but unmistakable presence that seem to make her stand out so clearly.
