The Dainty Boy

Upon my arrival of this place, I never noticed this fine, dainty boy that had magnificent emerald green hair with ancient-chinese-styled golden and green clothing to match.

I have no idea if he was always there or if he just arrived. I hoped it is the second theory.

However, looking at this person calmly staring at me, it seemed like he has been there for a while.

But good news is, he hasn't mentioned anything so far. That's a good thing for me though. Some things are better left unsaid.

Then without warning, the dainty boy suddenly came closer to me, and as he got closer, I noticed that he had an eye colors of gray, long eyelashes, and flawless skin, resembling a maiden even more.

In fact, I would have thought him a maiden if not for his barley visible Adam Apple.

While I was lost in thoughts of observations, the dainty boy bended down to me and smiled at me, who was still sitting on the ground, and asked me, "Why does someone that looks as noble as you act as if they never saw a reflection before?"

It took me a moment to process what he was saying but then I realize he was talking about me and the incident before.

I opened my mouth to say something back, but of course, I just had to embarrass myself even more, and I stuttered," I...I-I don't know what you are talking about." Not to mention my voice was all cracked and hoarse.

I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself alone forever and reflect on what I did.

The dainty boy once again, smiled at me and said," Is that so? Well then, I won't dig any further."

I was glad he didn't.

The dainty boy then asked my," What's your name?"

I thought about it and said," My name? It's..... Bai-He. It means pure and white lotus flower."

Dainty boy beamed and cheerfully said," Ok Xiao-Bai!"

I gaped at this boy. I couldn't believe him! How could anyone decide to call someone a nickname upon the first meeting! But before I even had a chance to say anything, the dainty boy started to slowly pace around me.

He then said," You can call me Ju-Long! Don't I have a nice name Xiao-Bai!"

I don't even want to bother with him anymore. I feel like he won't shut up no matter what I do. Although I have to admit he have a pretty nice name. After all, his name has Long in it and since his hair is green, it would make him like a green dragon! It's kind of neat, but not that I'll tell him that. Instead I'm going to tell him that no one ever asked him.

But before I had a chance to tell him that, his whole demeanor changed, and he smiled and said," Let's get down to business shall we?"
