[BTS - SHI BU KE DANG (ADVANCE BRAVERY)]

Uuurrghhhhhh...just wanna give Xia Yao a good whipping and do bad things to him :v.

********************

Just when Xia Yao was struggling with the uninvited guest, another ridiculous story went on on Meng Xin Yi's side.

How coincident was it, that Yuan Ru's meeting place (set up by you-know-who) was right in that cafe. Oh god bless myself, I asked for a man and brother put this uptight dude for me. I wonder what he was thinking ?!

Suddenly, she spotted a familiar face.

Sitting in the opposite corner, right across that very room was Xia Yao, apparently on a date with some girl. The funny thing was, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Yuan Ru flew into a rage, for she had never even thought of the day when Xia Yao's solemn could wear such a smile, especially for someone else, "Screw this, don't tell me that he is also seeing somebody else?! So you're impotent and still has the energy to go on blind dates?! This is 100% a dupe !!!"

As she was distracted of the thought, Xia Yao has ran over to Yuan Zong.

But the seat wasn't empty for long as the Yuan Ru decided to seize the opportunity of ruining the poor guy's date. She quickly sneaked to Meng Xin Yi's spot and sat in Xia Yao's place.

With the sarcastically cheerful attitude, she asked, "Are you also here on a date?"

Out of no where appeared a stranger, Meng Xin Yi was very surprised, for a second, let her guard down but still tried to be polite. She nodded to answer.

So it is true...Yuan Ru gnashed her teeth together, immediately pushed herself to the responsibility of saving the unlucky naive girl from her date, as it was what one woman should do for another woman. (Uh oh :))))) )

"I'm just saying, women are human, from the most immoral ones, to the most graceful, traditional ones, sex is indispensable. So I'll be straight with you. Don't judge the book by its cover, or you may wind up regretting your whole life."

The odd warning had succeeded in getting attention from Xin Yi. Confusedly, she asked, "What exactly are you saying?"

Yuan Ru smiled mischievously at her, slowly whispered in her ears," That man you are seeing, he may seem picture perfect but...how unfortunate, he's useless...in bed ."

Like a bolt from the blue came this weird information, Meng Xin Yi was thunderstruck.

Yuan Ru continued, " Because we've both experienced that, I think it's needless to say how important..."

"Who says I've done that before huh?" said Meng Xin Yi, red-faced with embarrassment. "It's not like I'm you, I don't have such great experience in this field. I just simply think he's a good gentleman."

Yuan Ru shrugged her shoulders, showing genuine regret, "If that's the case, consider I didn't say anthing."

After a while, Xia Yao finally came back.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep it like nothing ever happened.

"Give me your phone numbers, we'll contact more in the future."

He was totally taken aback when she replied, "I think...this won't work out."

"I'm sorry, what?"

Her words seemed stuck in the throat "It's just that - I don't - it's not u it's me (Ann: the legendary saying )...I just can't feel secured in this relationship...since you are such an exceptional man. I'm sorry. I have to go."

Right after that, she fled away, only slightly slower than Yuan Ru just did.

Yuan Ru, although was sitting on, still made the best effort to catch up to everything going on on that table. When Meng Xin Yi was completely out of sight, she hissed, "Who can put up such a play huh? Insecurity? Please! The guy's impotent, she's better off finding someone with no dick!"

(Ann: well, you did something right for once in your life, Yuan Ru :)))) )

Suddenly, Xia Yao was standing there, confronting her. Yes, even when he has bedroom problems, one still can't resist that beautiful a face, especially Yuan Ru.

"Oh what a nice surprise to see you here." Yuan Ru smiled shyly.

Xia Yao's smile held no warmth in them, "Yeah, such a coincidence that you're here with your brother."

"My brother? Big bro is also here?!" Yuan Ru stared in utter confusion.

"You seriously think I would fall for that?"

After throwing those words at Yuan Ru, Xia Yao swiveled on his heels and turned away.

***

A few day's time elapsed, Xia Yao had thought through carefully. To handle cases like Yuan Zong, a tiny spark could cause a massive explosion. The best way there was was to disregard him, show no kind of concern about his existence, "If that creep wants to stare, I'll ignore it. If the bastard wants to follow me, I'll let him. If he even wishes to be the guard dog of my bedroom, be my guest. The second he shows his face outside the house, I'll throw out trash of all kinds. The stinky smell comes out and that will lure the mosquitoes in."

The plan turned out to be such a failure. In contrast to Xia Yao's "prediction", Yuan Zong changed his attitude out of the recognition, from provoking mode to sincerely protective mode, automatically neutralizing Xia Yao's defense. When it got cold, Yuan Zong got him more clothes. When it rained he got him umbrella. When Xia Yao worked night-shift, he brought food. He was undoubtedly attentive to the tiniest details. (Ann: OH MY GOD!!! Give me a boyfriend like that and I'll be the happiest girl ALIVE! )

Later that afternoon, Xia Yao found Xiao Hui and Zhang Tian in his office, happily eating duck necks. He then joined the club.

"Nice! How do you guys know I like this stuff?" He proudly asked.

"Heh! We didn't. It was your brother in law. He brought this awesome treat here, we were just being friendly and took it for you."

"Brother-in-law" came out and indicated who else other than Yuan Zong. Xia Yao was lost for words. However delicious those duck necks were, everything suddenly turned tasteless. He didn't finish even a half before throwing it into the trash.

"We're just being good friends and reminding you, ok? Your brother in law has done for you a lot of favours. You'd better settle down quickly withYuan Ru. Even we feel rushed for you."

Xia Yao didn't say a word. His eyes were busy gazing at a small wooden house on the table. After a while, he asked, "Who sent this here ?"

The question sounded meaningless as obviously, no one could be as ludicrous as Yuan Zong to spend time on something like that.

Xia Yao intended to get rid of it, but then, falling out of the little house was a little figure.

If anything, that thing was a shocking joke! It was, compare to the real Xia Yao, nothing less than a miniature replica. The figure has the exact same face, same aura and even the same freaking mole on one side of the nose.

But the shocking part was that he was naked. A "Xiao Xia Yao" (you know...that thing ) sticking upwards, a round perky butt that makes you just want to take a bite.

Xia Yao was furious, insulted, he harshly threw the thing into the trashcan.

"Aizzz, be careful. " Zhang Tian said.

"Need I remind you that this little guy is virtually you but smaller and...of course naked. Laying in the trash doesn't mean people can't see it. And by people, I mean your adoring fans in the company. The worst scenario is a female colleague sees this as an opportunity given by gods and will take it home to masturbate with it."

Not having any other choices, sadly, Xia Yao took it out of the trashcan.

He then stumped his feet again and again on the toy but it barely worked. The thing was still fine, no harm done.

"I choose not believe that I would lose to you."

He ran to the guard's room, borrowed a hammer and with all his strength smashed it down.

Xiao Hui standing there, didn't have the heart to see this continued. "Boss Xia, that figure is made out of a mixture from clay, egg yolk v glutinous rice flour, the same ingredient as Yuan Minh Yuan's Ta Sui Fa [1], which ha undergone many invasions and wars but still stood strong. If you don't have the power of 8 country's armies, I suggest not to waste your time."

[1] this thing here.

Xia Yao's face was set and hard.

"I can't destroy this thing, then the least I can do is to destroy that wooden house!"

"Sure, but uhm...your mini copy doesn't even wear clothes. You destroy its home, where would you put it then?" (Ann: I seriously Love Zhang Tian >_< he's sooo freaking cute!)
