“Did you take the picture?
I want to see, show me, show me!
But, why are you angry?”, the group of the noisy and impatient boys jumped on Yibo.
He harshly pulled the wig off his head, and slammed it onto one of the boys’ palms, along with his phone on its screen was indeed displayed the picture of himself kissing the kiss seller:
“Here is your proof!
Are you all satisfied, now?”
“Calm down, now what are you even angry about?
You have agreed to do this, what happened, did you not enjoy the kiss, or what?
I checked out the boy while talking with him, his lips looked pretty kissable and alluring, so what might have gone wrong?
Was he against taking the picture?”
“He didn’t even notice that I took the picture!
Maybe, because his mind was too focused on getting the money.
I find these kinds of gold diggers very much disgusting.
All they want and think about is money, no matter what…just look at this boy!
He sold his so-called first kiss, which it’s supposed to be a treasured memory, for the rest of his life!”, Yibo replied with a grimace of disgust.
“Why are you saying that it was his “so-called” first kiss, he was that much of a skillful kisser that you suspect him of lying in this matter?”, one boy grinned , wiggling his eyebrows.
“It’s not like that, but what makes you trust him that he was telling the truth? How can you be so sure that it was his first kiss? Who knows for how many times he’s been selling kisses, like he did this time, lying that it’s the first time doing it?”, Yibo shouted in anger.
“Hmm, you have a point here, but why do you even care if he was lying or not, and if it was his first kiss or not?
What should matter to you is that you’ve paid successfully your duty to the winner of the poker game, and you showed us that you are not an aSs full of himself, who doesn’t know how to bravely face a defeat!
I’m glad that our dads are going to be business partners.
So, hip-hip-hurray, for Wang Yibo!!!
Let’s celebrate!”, the birthday boy shouted.
All the boys started an indescribable uproar, trying to lift Yibo up on their arms, but he was not in the mood for that.
“Sorry, guys, thanks for everything, and please tell your father that I thank him for inviting me to your birthday party.
I really had a great time, but now I have something urgent to do, and I need to go.
So, go and celebrate without me, nice to meet you all, hope we’ll meet again some other time! Happy birthday, once again! “, Yibo smiled and shook hands with Dong junior.
Wang Yibo exhaled in relief when he finally got inside his room.
He locked the door, removed the girly pink blouse, and didn’t even get to the bed, but dropped his exhausted body on the sofa.
And started to run in his mind the film of the last hours.
“So, he is not any different, he likes only money, same like all the rest of the people around me.
I was so wrong, thinking that he might be something else! That he might like me, just for myself, and not for my parents’ money…
But dammit, I realize now how much I’ve been missing to taste his sweet lips…
What’s wrong with me?
He is not sweet, he is just a profiteer, a…a…an unscrupulous bastard…jeez!!!”
Yibo shook his head like trying to unload his brain filled with images of fluffy lips and foxy eyes.
Oh, yes, that flawless skin, too!
He touched his mouth and closed his eyes. The taste of that kiss was still lingering on his lips…
“I must forget about that jerk!”, Yibo spoke in a loud voice, getting up and going to take a shower.
~Meanwhile:
“Oh my god! What happened to you, ZhanZhan?”, ZhuoCheng and Lulu asked in the same voice, with their eyes widened at their friend’s bruised and swollen lips.
“Nothing much, besides the fact that the buyer was a violent, aggressive kisser.
I’m thankful that at least she didn’t try to do anything else to me, don’t know, something like trying to beat the crap out of me, or who knows what.”, Xiao Zhan laughed awkwardly, wiping his lips with the back of his palm, then cupping his flustered cheeks in embarrassment.
“What the hell was wrong with her? She seemed to me to be a nice girl!
Oh, my poor bunny, try to forget this episode from your life, it’s not important anymore!
We have more important things to do now.”, Lulu said, hugging her favorite plush doll-like boy.
“What things do we have to do?”, Xiao Zhan asked in confusion.
“We need to buy some appropriate clothes for the trip.
You have the necessary money now, and I know some great places for shopping!”, Lulu clapped enthusiastically.
The night before the trip, Xiao Zhan couldn’t sleep at all, because of various reasons.
One of them was his guilty conscience, as he was lying to his parents for the first time in his life.
He told them that he won some sort of a competition at the school activities and the prize was the Paris trip.
And all those new clothes were gifted to him by Wang ZhuoCheng.
Secondly he was wondering why the prince had vanished in thin air lately, he never tried again to look for him or to ask about him, like he used to, before.
Another reason was the turmoil that he could feel out of place between all those rich students, accustomed with expensive things, fancy meals and exotic places…Well, at least ZhuoCheng and Lulu will be there, too, and they’ve promised to help and guide him whenever he would feel lost.
And finally, the last reason for being nervous was the same image appearing clearly in his mind, whenever he would close his eyes and try to fall asleep.
That pair of deep, dark eyes, were haunting his nights and days since that damned prince had ignited his heart.
It was enough to just close his eyes and he would be able to feel the prince’s aura, like standing only a few inches away from him.
He could feel his eyes looking at him, looking through him, he could feel his breath lingering on his lips, he could even smell his exquisite, subtle cologne.
Damn, he was so obsessed with him, that he even hallucinated while being kissed by the tall, bully girl, that he was smelling the prince’s scent, that he was tasting his sweetness on the girl’s lips.
Even the girl’s fingers looked much alike the prince’s long, noble fingers.
That’s how crazy he became, because of that first kiss he had shared with Wang Yibo, the school’s prince.
Wang Yibo…What a wonderful name…
That’s enough!
He must compose himself and try to rest a bit, if he doesn’t want to scare his prince, tomorrow, with red, bloodshot eyes.
The French teacher requested that all the students who will attend the trip, gather for a short meeting in the school meeting hall, after classes.
It was raining hard outside and Xiao Zhan’s last class was in a different building. Luckily his mom forced him to take the umbrella with him.
He was just entering the hallway when he halted and gasped in shock!
But he was not the only one in shock!
The school’s prince was standing in the meeting hall’s door and his eyes grew big in surprise, when landing on the boy with the umbrella.
“You?
You will come to Paris, too?”, the prince asked, not hiding his surprise, while stepping away from the door, to make room for him to enter.
“Yes, I will.
But why are you so damn shocked about it?
And since when are you blonde?”, Xiao Zhan asked, trying hard to hide his surprise.
Suddenly, ChengCheng’s confusing words popped into his mind: “Our bunny is not the only one in love! Now I get why! I met Wang Yibo today, and I involuntarily eavesdropped on his phone conversation asking for a bookmark to a…. Now it rang my bell. I will not tell you more, as I will leave you the pleasure to discover the surprise by yourself, later. It’s hilarious actually, ha, ha, ha! Bunny, you must meet him asap!”
Probably the prince was asking for a bookmark to a hair salon in that phone convo, to dye his hair.
But why did ZhuoCheng say that Xiao Zhan was not the only one in love?
“You’re right, nothing should surprise me anymore!
And about dying my hair, it was just a spur of a moment. But it’s none of your business!”, the prince snapped, surprising Xiao Zhan even more with his harsh tone of voice.
Xiao Zhan flinched when the chair next to him was pulled with a sharp screech, but who plopped in the chair was not who he expected or hoped to be.
The one taking a seat next to him was not Wang Yibo, but it was the coriander girl, who rolled her eyes at him:
“What the hell is doing your broke aSs here? From my research, you come from a family of poor peasants, how could they afford to pay for this trip?”
The teacher asked the students to go silent and to pay attention to her:
“Kids, the flight is tonight at 10PM, but we will meet in front of the school at 7PM. The school bus will take us to the airport, please, don’t be late.
The seats in the airplane would be established by the airline staff, but I will allow you to choose your seatmates, after all this will be a trip I want you to enjoy at its best.
Therefore I will now write the list of your sitting.”
When the teacher read Wang Yibo’s name, the stalking girl jumped up from her seat and startled the teacher with her screams:
“Meee!!!
It will be me who will sit next to our prince!
No other but me!”
Xiao Zhan mused for a second before deciding to go bold and help the stalked boy once again. So he stood up and spoke loudly and determined:
“No, I’m sorry XiangCai, but the seat next to him is already taken!
By me, Xiao Zhan!”
Yibo looked at both of them then spoke to the teacher:
“Wouldn’t it be normal for me to decide who my seatmate would be?
My name was read from there on the list, after all…so I will choose…XIANGCAI, to sit next to me!”
The girl went ecstatic, starting to hit her chest with her fists and pulling her hair like a mad person, while Xiao Zhan’s knees gave up and his butt hit the seat with a loud thump, shocked by Wang Yibo’s choice.
“So, he would rather share the voyage with his stalker than sitting next to me?
But, why?
Why did he ask me before, to act as his boyfriend and kiss him?
Not for getting rid of this crazy girl?
And why did he sound angry with me?
I understand nothing more!”
Xiao Zhan’s inner thoughts were cut off by the teacher’s voice:
“I’m so sorry, my dear Yibo, but I promised XiangCai’s parents that I will take care of her personally, for the whole trip. Not only because she is always sick in the airplane, thus she will sit next to me, but also she will be my roommate in Paris, as well, as I must take care she would take the medicine prescribed by her doctor.
You, Wang Yibo, have two options, one: choose someone else, or two: fulfill my personal request for your help.
My request would be to ask you to stay with the new student, Xiao Zhan, because you are the most indicated person on helping him. I would have taken him in my personal care, if it wasn’t for my promise to XiangCai’s parents.
You, Yibo, would be a great help to me, you handle the French language the best, and you are sort of a leader between the students.
The new kid is a beginner in my class, he studied another foreign language until now, English, so you will help him during the whole trip. Also, sitting together in the airplane would help you two to know each other better.
You would be roommates in Paris, too, so better try to get well along and be friends with each other.
If you agree, I’m counting on you, dear Yibo, to help the new student feel welcomed in our school, okay?”
“Thank you very much, Missis Won Li, but it’s not necessary to force him to do that.
I have two good friends here who will help me if I need it, so…”, Xiao Zhan uttered in a broken voice, almost crying, yet displaying a forced smile.
He was cut off by the prince’s loud, emphatic words:
“I will do it!
You can write on the list, Missis Won Li!
My seatmate will be Xiao Zhan!”
