79. Regret

Such weird thoughts of Qi Longwei wasn't just without any reason.

Being slapped by Li Zhilan showed how much you could affect her emotions. She always acted like a boy and so was more accustomed to punching more then slapping but that doesn't mean that she doesn't slap people. She only slaps those who can affect her emotions to such a degree that it goes haywire. And that wasn't an easy task. Only those whom she deem important can do this almost impossible task so being slapped by Li Zhilan is like getting the stamp of how important you are to her.

In the entire world there wasn't any other then her four monkeys who got slapped by her before. Her family was an exception because she can't just slap her elders as she is the youngest among everyone there. But now, Qi Longwei was added to the list. This just showed how important these few were to her.

''You should have told me. We would have had so much more time to spend together.'' Li Zhilan said while punching Qi Longwei not so lightly. She had already broken down into tears.

''We still have a long way to go together. I'm not letting you go anymore. Never.'' Qi Longwei said in a coaxing voice while gently patting her head and back simultaneously.

''Come here.'' Li Zhilan dragged Qi Longwei and herself out of the hallway towards the rooftop away from everyone's shocked eyes.

...

''I am only here for three months Spider. Now I only got a little more then a month only. After that I have to go back to my school. There isn't much time left.'' The sorrow in Li Zhilan's eyes were very genuine to be faked. There was still a little tears in them.

''What do you mean?'' Qi Longwei couldn't beleive it. He prayed that it wasn't what he thought it was. He really wished it wasn't.

''I'm here as an exchange student Spider. I won't be here for long.''

Boom.

The words hit him just the same as something extremely heavy. His heart felt like it was suddenly very constricted. It felt heavy and uncomfortable.

''Can you not leave? I'll get you admitted here. I'll do all the paperwork. Can you... stay?'' Qi Longwei felt like crying at the moment. On his journey to jokes and punishment, he had missed a lot of their time together. They could have had a lot of time together, they could have bonded well again, their connection with eachother could have been a lot stronger, but he had missed it, all in the name of some silly pranks. He regretted it. A lot.
