What did you do?

Gu Huan reached his car, his head dropped. He heard everything ZouMi said, thanks to his extra sensitive hearing power. Knowing that she would die soon, his heart was hurting, as to why, he was confused as well. They didn't spend much time together, but he felt at ease around her, he wanted to befriend her. He made a friend, and she is going to leave him soon, was the fact he couldn't take it. He was here to ask ZouMi to accompany him in shopping, who would've known that earth-shattering news awaited him. Gu Huan made his mind, he took his phone and made a call…

---------

In ZouMi's office,

Just as the door closed, ZouMi raised her head, her eyes were red, but not a single drop of water fell from her eyes.

"I'm dying soon, Mr. An, are you still planning to be a sleeping beauty?" she questioned, as if there would be an answer for her question. She stood up walked towards the window, closing her eyes she leaned on it.

-------

A five or so years old girl sitting on a bicycle, was accompanied by a handsome man.

"Dad, hold me, I don't want to fall" her childish voice contained fear.

"If you don't fall, how will you win?" He pushed the bicycle a little, the little girl started hitting the paddle of the bicycle. She looked back time to time, making sure her father is following her, getting confirmed after many times, she concentrated on the road ahead.

The man, who was called dad, pushed her till a distance and left her. Without his help she drove the bicycle, and when she turned around she didn't find her father following her. She became happy, on her own she drove this far, which was enough to make that small girl happy.

-------

A ten or so years old girl, stood in front of a desk, beside her was a man in a suit. On the other end sat a fat old lady who was complaining, "Mr. An, this is the third time in a month. If she doesn't behave, I'll have to suspend her from school. Her grades are good that doesn't mean, she could bully anyone and will be forgiven."

"Principal, I didn't bully anyone, he was the one bullying." the girl didn't hang her head down, neither was she ashamed of anything.

"Xiao Ming, quite" Her father said softly, he turned towards the boy sitting on the couch, who was around fifteen or so, with an ice-pack placed on the eye and bandage on his hand.

"What did you do?" Mr. An asked, his voice wasn't as softly as before when he talked to ZouMi.

"Your daughter bullied my son, how dare to ask him this" The women sitting beside the boy furiously asked.

"My daughter isn't a retard, to go and hit anyone, neither she is a bully, until he did something."

"He was forcing himself on a girl." ZouMi voice out.

"Is that true?" Mr. An looked at the boy, whose head was hanging down.

"You brat, don't you dare say false things about my son. He would never do that." the boy's mother angrily glared at ZouMi.

ZouMi turned towards the principal, "If you don't believe me, you can call, Nei Ling from 12th B."

The principal nodded, and called that girl, after five minutes, a girl came in. The moment her eyes fell on the boy sitting on the couch near the door, she flinched.

"Afternoon principal" She bowed and looked at ZouMi.

"Afternoon. The reason, why Zou Ming hit that boy is true?" Principal asked.

Nei Ling hesitated, then said, "From the past month he was following me everywhere. He threatens me, by telling he would spread rumors about me if I don't date him. I constantly ignored him, but today in the morning, he forced himself on me and tried to kiss me. Zou Ming arrived in time and saved me, I wanted to complain, but she stopped." Her head was hanging down.

"Why did you stop her? You should've complained." The principal asked.

"Wouldn't her name will be spoil if she complained." ZouMi said.

"Mrs. Tin, you should've investigated before calling me. I know my daughter well, she won't do anything without a reason."

------

In a vast meeting room, Mr. An was sitting at the end of the table with a serious expression. ZouMi was sitting on the chair beside him, she was around thirteen, with a tiffinbox in her hand. ZouMi time to time to feed her dad, who was busy listening to the presentation. At the end of the presentation, before Mr. An could say anything, ZouMi spoke.

"If we go by your way, we will only end in a bottomless pit. Quantity doesn't matter, quality does. Me&U would never compromise on its quality, for the sake of money." Mr. An smiled proudly.

"I'm done, don't work past eight. Meet you at home." ZouMi got up and kissed her father's cheek and left.

The scene changed again, this time, ZouMi was sitting on the chair, on which her father used to sit, her face void of any emotions.

------

Those memories of her father, bringing her up, building her into a strong girl passed a sad smile on her face. Her legs turned numb from standing for so long, she turned to walk to her chair, the door of her room opened without a knock. She frowned and looked at the door. The familiar scent, with the familiar hidden face came in her view.

Surprised, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Get up, lets go. Hurry" he urged her.

"What for?" She asked.

"You are coming with me."

"Where?"

"For shopping."

"Huh?" ZouMi looked at him strangely, then laughed. "Me? Shopping? You're at the wrong office, go ask gege. I hate shopping."

"But you're my friend, not YangYang. I'm not that close to her."

"Neither with me. Stop urging me, I won't come"

"Please, friend. You know, I don't have friends, you're the only one. Can't you do this for me?" Gu Huan looked at her, trying to act cute.
