On the other side of the city, the manor was being neatly cleaned and the blinking star lights were put up.
On one side of the wall, red, maroon and gold colored balloons were being filled and plastered on the wall in a crescent shape. In the middle of that same wall, there was a cardboard with the name 'Shan' written on it. It was dazzling with lights and red roses.
Ai looked around as she instructed carefully. She anxiously ran towards the kitchen and when she saw the Asian cuisines and European desserts being made, her smile brightened. She instructed some more details and left the kitchen to go to the living room.
Just as she was pondering on what more to add, a long legs stepped down the staircase and the shoes being clanked on the marble floor was loudly heard.
She immediately knew who it was without looking back at it. She stood up and ran towards to hug that person.
"Feng Biming, when did you arrive? I was so excited to see you and you hid from me?" Ai hugged him tighly as she reminisced their childhood memories.
She held his hands excitedly and dragged him to the little sitting corner in the living room. Lu Jung and Ah Si were talking amongst each other while looking at the scene.
"Hello boys? You must be Lu Jung?" Lu Jung noticed the guy who was so close to his woman and he immediately stood up. He looked at Feng Biming with a cold eyes as she took her hands away from his.
He came in between them as he stared at the intruder. Receiving no answers from him, Feng Biming chuckled: "Chill dude, I am engaged." Feng Biming showed him his ring finger and they was a Tungsten Carbide diamond ring glowing shiny.
Feng Biming then looked at Ah Si and nodded his head to greet.
When Lu Jung heard that, he immediately shrank back and he looked at Ai for confirmation. When he saw Ai rolling her eyes, he looked at Ah Si with a hurtful gaze.
What kind of brother was he? He pranked him again.¹
Ah Si on the other hand looked like he didn't do anything wrong at all as he calmly sipped his brewing coffee and nodded as a gesture to greet Feng Biming.
He was more excited to see when she was going to come and complete his day with her beautiful smiley face.

It was eight past half at night and the room was filled with laughter and joy. Friends from school and friends from childhood were all in one room and everyone seemed to get along well. Lots of girls decked up purposely and looked towards this party as they got to see the infamous Ah Si.
They knew better than anyone that no one could get his attention or affection but they were satisfied by just seeing his long hair tied into a low bun and his fierce eyes focused into the book he was reading.
Guys on the other hand were wiping each others tears as they saw the women they died for in collage settled and happy in her new home.
While everyone was enjoying the party and getting excited by seeing the little angel in Ai's arm, Ah Si was reading an "interesting" book to decrease his boredom. He would once in a while take a glance at the main door but the one he was looking forward to was nowhere to be seen.
Feeling his eyes dropping in fatigue, he put the opened book on his face and laid in the sofa as he shut down all his senses in the bustling, crowded room.
Suddenly, like a slow-mo romanitic movie, the windows opened by the cold wind outside and the main door opened to indicate someone's arrival.
Ah Si originally felt cold so he was about to get up to go inside his room but when he saw the view infront of him, his steps faltered and his calm heart pounded harder than the usual.
