Chapter 6 - We Have To Leave

Li Hua stared at Wei blankly, his mind raced, Zhao Shufen was here? But how he checked right. There was no name on the list. Being a coach and knowing strategies, made sure Hua had a good memory, his mind traced back to every name on the list. There wasn't any Zhao Shufen or any of the other guys' names. Then how? While thinking about the list, Li Hua realized what he had missed. He might have checked on Zhao Shufen, Wu Kun, Huang Zhen ... but he forgot to check for Wu Cheng, Kun's elder brother. Of course, they wouldn't have come on a trip without him. That means the person he saw on the Ferry was Zhao Shufen. But does that all matter now, Zhao Shufen was here. In the same resort as them.

Li Hua's heart started beating fast, his mind was racing. What is he suppose to do now? What if Liang saw Kun, Liang finally started to be himself, what would happen to him? and Wei could he handle seeing that jerk again? He was freaking out... he couldn't focus on anything. It was like he was the only one stuck, he had to breathe but he couldn't stop thinking! Stop calm down! he tried to look around focus on anything around him. Get him out of this trance, while doing so he looked at Wei who lips were moving no stop, it was like he was telling something, he was freaking out, probably more than him. He tried to make sense of Wei's ramble. Wei screaming about how they need to leave right now and How Hua should not see Shufen and how he needs to beat shufen's ass and wait! did he just say something about a photo shoot?

huh?

Hua finally broke out of the trance, he grabbed Wei by the shoulders, with all the strength remaining in his body he croaked, "What photoshoot?". Wei stared at him for few seconds, seeing the desperation in Hua's eyes, he replied, " Shufen was in the middle of a shoot, over there" Wei pointed at a direction they came from. He then continued his rambling

Photoshoot? Hua's mind raced, yeah! Shufen's interview, What if the destination changed. Makes sense, it also makes sense that Wu Cheng would have the reservation being Shufen's agent and all! Does that means the other 2 aren't here and this was for a shoot. Hua's heart lightened a bit, knowing his younger brothers are safe.

He was a bit calm now, but Wei wasn't he was, he kept screaming that they need to leave the island and go back. In a way, Wei was right, they needed to leave. They should leave. But he was worried about Liang. They came all the way here , not to just go back because Shufen was on the same island and them. The main reason why this whole trip was planned, was because he wanted Liang to get a break from the drama his life was serving him. He knew this wouldn't be easy, but the island is big, and he hasn't met Shufen yet! and it's a shoot they will probably leave once it's over. So there are probably fewer chances of them meeting.

He picked Liang happiness.

"We can't leave Wei," he said slowly sighing. Wei suddenly stopped talking . He looked at Hua like he grew a pair of horns. "What? What are you talking about Ge? how can you be around where he is? Don't tell me you still have hope for you and he gets..." Hua ignored whatever Wei used the words "You still hope for you and him".

Li Hua felt a familiar heartache. He felt his eyes burn with tears. Yes, Li Hua still had hope just a small hope that was hidden deep inside his heart for the past 2 years. He knew keeping that hope was a waste , but he still kept it. For his whole life it had always been Shufn, he still doesn't know how or why they broke up! Maybe he is in denial, maybe he knows but just doesn't want to accept it. All he knows is 2 years is not enough to get over his and Shufen's relationship. Shufen may have, but it's impossible for Li Hua. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to move on. No, he does...but it would take longer.

Listening to Wei say it out open made him feel stupid. It made him feel like an idiot hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't care for him , what hurts more was that Li Hua was exactly that idiot. When he couldn't take Wei's rambling anymore. He covered his ears and screamt. That kind of did the trick. That's when Wei realized that he hurt his Gege with his harshness. Wei is stupid he really is. "Ge... I'm sorry!" He whispered slowly and he hugged Hua tightly, giving Hua the warmth and comfort that allowed him to let his tears flow freely. Zhang Wei kept mumbling apologies while Hua cried about how he was an idiot.

It took Hua few minutes to calm down, he broke the hug, and wiped his tears, and gave Wei a sad smile. "I'm not doing this because of that hope Wei," he said as he smiled wider through his tears. "Ge" Wei tried to say but was interrupted by Hua "I'm doing this for Liang." Zhang Wei looked at Hua with a puzzled expression. "Don't you think that Liangb needs a break from seeing Kun's picture with his fiancé. Even if he doesn't say it out loud I know it hurts him every time he hears , reads or sees any related to Kun's marriage. Even if he doesn't notice anything, the people around him talk about it and this idiot just smiles through it like it's no big deal. Isn't that the reason why we came here in the first place? We can't leave just like this" Hua said slowly.

Zhang Wei couldn't believe his ears, He knew what Hua said was true! But still! this is just... He stared at his Gege with tears in his eyes. "gege" he said as he hugged Hua again. His gege was so strong. Hua just hugged his little brother and best friend back. "But won't it be painful to see Shufen now and then" Wei mumbled between his tears. Hua just smiled into Wei's shoulder. "It will...but the pain good if Liang could be happy again....that's all I want... And maybe seeing Shufen here and there will help me move on forgetting about this stupid hope. " Hua mumbled back. Wei felt his eyes tear up more. His gege was strong.
