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

At sun set after work, after having received a call, Xia Yao was so excited that he made a dash for a private club.

"Sir, please follow me."

Xia Yao was shown into a room, the door creaked open to display a group of male and female packed inside, the chaotic situation took Xia Yao aback. His eyes frantically maneuvered around, only to stop at a man smoking by him self in the corner.

"Da Yu" Xia Yao shouted simultaneously.

Xuan Da Yu was chattering away with others, having heard the voice, at once darted his eyes around. The moment he saw Xia Yao, his eyes swiftly drew up, then from the bottom of his heart broke out a fire.

"The fuck..."

Xuan Da Yu rushed headlong from the sofa like a cheetar, almost kicking all the people in his way and made a dash for Xia Yao. After that his big hands tightened around Xia Yao's neck and directly brought him down onto the sofa, strongly pressing him down, raining kisses onto his face and neck, even biting his skin.

Normally Xia Yao didn't like skin contact with other people in the least, however, it was obvious that because of his excitement that Xia Yao forgot about that preference. Xuan Da Yu nibbled him as he did the same to Xuan Da Yu, the two finally separated, both out of breath.

"How long has it been since we last met? Mother fucker, you surely have no recollection of me, do you?" Xuan Da Yu questioned as if he was in deep anger.

Xia Yao's blood-coloured eyes let out particular amusement "Who don't remember who, huh? I've been searching for you for years. When you left you didn't even save me a goodbye, leaving only a phone number that was unreachable."

"Nonsense." Xuan Da Yu smiled sneakily, "All those years, had you been willing to find me, you would have soon done that."

The trio Xuan Da Yu, Xia Yao and Peng Ze were childhood friends who lived together in a residential area, together with Dou Ye who often stood by when they were enjoying themselves. However, Dou Ye was three or four years older than them, so he only occasionally play with them, therefore, the relationship was not as close as close knit as the other three people. Of course Xia Yao was the dearest to Xuan Da Yu's heart, indeed, the two boys slept in one blanket and even wet one bed as they grew older.

Up until grade 11, Xuan Da Yu suddenly moved to another school, his whole family moved to Macao. He also stopped keeping in touch with Xia Yao and Peng Ze, only to finally show his face now.

The waiter brought up a dish of fruits, Xuan Da Yu immediately poked a piece of pear and crammed it down Xia Yao's mouth, while seeing him eat and said, "A little while ago when you came in I nearly didn't recognise you, when did you become so handsome?"

"What do you mean "become handsome"? I have always been handsome!"

Xuan Da Yu burst into laughter, then fiercely pulled Xia Yao into his embrace and pinched his waist, "I remember when you were in school you didn't use to have such a fair complexion, how can you be so succulent now?"

Xia Yao laughed with his self-importance, "I keep myself in good condition."

"How?" Xuan Da Yu asked.

Peng Ze on one side spoke with a teasing voice, "Eat vegetarians food every day."

Xia Yao sneered, giving him a kick, "Go away! And stop talking nonsense."

Xuan Da Yu again concentrated on observing Xia Yao from the top to the bottom, having a profound hatred of not being able to rip off his clothes and even taking that thing in the trousers out for inspection. In the end, he opted for resting his large hand on Xia Yao's nape, pulling his face just beneath Da Yu's lashes, and smiled softly.

"You didn't bring your girlfriend here?"

Xia Yao bared his teeth "I don't have one."

Xuan Da Yu squinted his eyes, giving Xia Yao a suspicious look, "Theoretically, you should have countless of women chasing after you!"

Peng Ze gave a low heh, "It's not that no one is following him, but because he hasn't picked a person who meets his fancy, yet. Living a life of luxury, taking his bird out for leisure walks each day, paying no attention to sexy girls in short skirts, it's noble indeed."

The surprise struck Xuan Da Yu, "As far as I can remember, you were the most knowledgeable kid among us. Wasn't it you, the one who didn't wait for his pubic hair to fully grow before readily tease innocent young female students on the street by pulling up their skirts or brushing against their breasts?"

Peng Ze reverted, "Couldn't agree more. He was truly a rascal, taking pride in his large 'turnip'!" (Bwuahahahaha ...How things have changed!!!)

Xuan Da Yu burst into laughter, "Right! Right! Right! I remember now! The large 'turnip'. Fucking hell! I haven't touched that thing in ages! Come here, come here, let your big bro see whether it has grown into a real ginseng or not." (~_~)

"Fuck off!"

Xuan Da Yu and Peng Ze teased Xia Yao mercilessly, which resulted in a raucous between three men. Eventually they composed themselves as Dou Ye invited them for a drink.

"How are your parents?" Xuan Da Yu asked Xia Yao.

"Same old same old." Xia Yao replied.

Peng Ze added, "His father was transferred to a new province."

"When?" Xuan Da Yu asked.

"Last year."

"Did you and your mother have to come along with him?"

"No, we will make use of a long term break to visit if we have one. When my father arrives in Beijing to attend a conference, he will stay at home for two days or so. We usually see each other once every two months."

Xuan Da Yu's eyes fell on Peng Ze, "How about you? Still single?"

Xia Yao disseminate what he knew before Bach Trach could open his mouth.

"He always hangs out with this gay dude."

"Do not call him 'gay'," Peng Ze lamented, "Zhenzhen is a nice guy, although he can be a little bit bitchy at time."

Xuan Da Yu rubbed Peng Ze's hair, "I have been away for only four years and now this capital is filled with gays."

The two laughed out loud, while Xia Yao, who sat to one side, could summon nothing more than a painful smirk.

And then, Peng Ze questioned Xuan Da Yu, "Why did you move your house so suddenly?"

Xuan Da Yu's eyes twitches with discomfort. He clinked Peng Ze's glass, "There were a lot of issues in my family, some of which couldn't be clearly understood. Forget it! Let's continue drinking."

There was nothing but the "Clink! Clink!" sound of their glasses and the sound of their chatter about their childhood. The pressure, the hardships and the suppression Xia Yao had sustained all day disappeared. All the men and women danced to the music that blared out and echoed in the room. Xia Yao drank up, slapping the bottle down on the table.

"Is this a circus? What are you doing! Move aside, I'll show you how it's really done!"

Xia Yao ran to the stage, like lighting, his shirt became loose, that swift flexible hip swished from side to side filling him with adrenaline. All the formal training outfit did was highlight his miles long magic pair of legs, seductive but out of bounds at the same time. (*Squeal!!! >_< aaarrggghhh!!! I need to see this in the series!)

Xuan Da Yu peaked at Xia Yao who smirked lopsidedly back.

Sparks went off inside Xuan Da Yu, the piece of apple that has only been chewed on twice got stuck in his throat, making his chest hurt. Xuan Da Yu grabbed Peng Ze and pointed at Xia Yao, an expression of disbelief etched on his face, "He really doesn't have a girlfriend?"

"Absolutely not!" Peng Ze leaned into Xuan Da Yu's ears, "His colleagues all secretly call him Monk Xia!"

Immediately after saying that, a commotion started on stage, Xia Yao was shouting at someone.

Xuan Da Yu frantically ran up, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yao pointed at a woman who was madly gluing herself to his body and dancing with frenzy, "She's crazy!"

"Okay okay..." Xuan Da Yu patted his back in an attempt to calm his friend down, then he pulled Xia Yao back to the sofa where he started to tease him, "I remember you used to bite people when you're drunk, so why didn't you give her a bite back then?"

Peng Ze laughed out loud, "Right right right, not just the usual biting, but once your mouth attaches to something, they won't come off."

"Why haven't you bitten anyone yet?"

"He must have not drank enough!"

"Come on now. Cheers!"

And just like that, the three friends drank their hearts out.

Peng Ze went home with Dou Ye, leaving Xuan Da Yu and Xia Yao behind. Xia Yao was so drunk that he could barely walk straight, Xuan Da Yu, who was less out of it, grabbed Xia Yao and put him on his back.

"Let's go, I'll piggy back you home!"

So with wobbly steps, Xuan Da Yu started carrying Xia Yao home. Standing outside were a few personal drivers, "Mr, where would you like to go?"

"No, it's alright, I can still recognize the roads...When he was young... I used to piggyback him all the time... he really likes it."

Xuan Da Yu carried Xia Yao quite a distance. Xia Yao, who was on his back, was still passed out, only to sometimes mumble incoherent words.

"There's this guy who likes me."

Xuan Da Yu'a ankle staggered, nearly falling to the ground. It took him a big effort to rebalance himself and continue walking.

Xia Yao muttered again.

"What's more, I can't beat him."

Xuan Da Yu answered in a drunken tone, "Kick his balls."

Yuan Zong, who was standing not far away from the two friends, took the advantage to pick up another drunken guy stepping out from a club by the side of the roads. (My baby has appeared! Yay! Save the day Yuan Zong!
