Lulu opened the door carefully. Afraid will startled his beloved. But he is the one who was in shock as his eyes caught Mu Zhe who was studying at his desk with a dark aura around him. Lulu swallowed his saliva. "What should I do?" He asked to himself.
"You'd better be prepared and accepted every outcome from what you have done."
Lulu remembered Jiang Hai's words clearly.
"Once you made him sulking, you'll have to try hard to persuade him. He'll bring up what you've done to him until you have no choice but to feel guilty for the rest of your life."
Zhou Jun explanation make him more nervous.
"Lulu... haaa.. I've given you a chance to confess your love today. But..."
Zhang Yiran said. The sigh is heavy and the sounds totally disappointed.
"But.. it was an accident. I don't even know who is Jonathan. Could you at least trust me that?"
Lulu explaining. Defending himself. He really didn't know who Jonathan was. But without warning, he being dragged into this mess.
"But... that Jonathan kid, knows you well."
Ah Fei said with his deepest voice as he poke Lulu's chest with his index finger. Put even more pressure on Lulu.
Lulu took a deep breath. His heart felt heavy and tight. Will the flower of his love wither before it blooms? Or is there a hope at the end of the tunnel.
With a slow motion, Lulu sat at his desk. Trying act as calm as he could. Every now and then his eyes glanced at Mu Zhe. Peeking for his reaction. But. Disappointing.. There was no reaction at all.
It seemed that Mu Zhe was really sulking. Or more to, angry. Lulu burying his face in his palm. He sighing deeply. All the words was stuck in his throat. And the guilty starting to devouring his courage little by little.
"Who is Jonathan?"
Mu Zhe asked suddenly. His voice echoing throughout the entire room. Lulu quickly turned his head. Staring at his beloved face deeply.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Mu Zhe's heart was beating fast. Same dose with Lulu's.
Glup!
Mu Zhe swallowed the saliva that was on the tip of his lips. He quickly averted his gaze after he remembered about his anger. He pursed his lips again.
"I don't know him either."
Lulu answered honestly. Mu Zhe quickly turned his head.
"You said you don't know him!? Is that how you said you don't know him!? Hugging and spoke sweetly? Don't know him!!!?"
Mu Zhe asked in disbelief. His blood was already rushing to his head. He felt he was being played. And he hated that.
"Tch!"
With a disappoint face, Mu Zhe threw his pen on the table. Right in front of Lulu. Letting out all his anger there. So Lulu could see how was his feeling at that moment. Lulu swallowed his saliva.
"I swear. I really don't know him."
Lulu give his oath. Mu Zhe gave him a sharp glare. With an innocent face, Lulu swore in front of Mu Zhe. trying his best to convince Mu Zhe that he really doesn't know who Jonathan is.
"But he know you so well? Can you explain that?"
Mu Zhe asked while crossing his arms. Lulu shook his head. He really didn't know who Jonathan was. How could Jonathan know him? What was his relationship with Jonathan? Lulu really didn't know any of that.
"Before... it was Zhang Yiran, now it was Jonathan. Who will it be after this?"
Mu Zhe asked, releasing his long-suppressed jealousy. Lulu quickly shook his head.
"I swear there was no more."
Lulu said. Determinedly. He hoped it would end with Jonathan. He really couldn't bear to face Mu Zhe's anger.
"Mu Zhe."
Lulu called softly as he pulled his chair closer to Mu Zhe.
"What!?
Mu Zhe answered. Still with his sullen face. Lulu was at a loss for words. His heart was beating fast as if it would explode at any moment.
Mu Zhe looked at Lulu's face without blinking. Waiting for what sentence will come out of Lulu's thin lips.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Like a Bluetooth, their hearts connect with each other. Perfectly clear.
"Who am I in your heart?"
Boom!
Lulu's question was like a volcanic eruption right above Mu Zhe's head. Spraying his lava all over his face until his face was red all the way to his ears and neck.
He don't know what to answer. He was stiff there. Can't even move his fingers. His entire body becomes numb as if he just being struck by high voltage electric shock.
Lulu lean closer to Mu Zhe. He took Mu Zhe's hand and placed it right on his chest.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Mu Zhe could feel Lulu's every heartbeat. Fast. Just like his.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
And his heartbeat answered every Lulu's heartbeat.
"I want you to know that... You always be here. Forever."
Lulu's words added redness to Mu Zhe's face. And out of nowhere blood flowed from Mu Zhe's nose. One drip. Two drip. It's became faster.
"Ahhh... your nose. Ahhh.. tissue? Where's the tissue?"
Lulu screamed anxiously as he nervously tried to find a tissue. Mu Zhe wiped the blood from his nose with his thumb. It seemed that he was too excited that his nose started to bleed.
"Hahaha..."
Mu Zhe suddenly laughed.
"Ahhh... I'm sorry."
Lulu said even more anxiously.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Mu Zhe and Lulu turned their head towards the door. Looking at the door without blinking. "Who's coming at time like this?" Lulu looked at Mu Zhe. Mu Zhe shrugged.
"Mu Zhe, Lulu."
Called from outside. Lulu wipe Mu Zhe's nose with a tissue before he stepped to the door. With a sullen face he opened the door.
"No need to make that face on me."
Zhang Yiran said as soon as the door was opened while pushing Lulu's forehead away from him. Behind him there was Ah Fei, Jiang Hai, Zhou Jun and followed by Ma Yuan entered one by one into their room.
"Lulu."
Zhang Yiran said without delay. The others took a place on the edge of the bed to sit. It looked like something big has happened.
Ma Yuan approached Mu Zhe with a worried face. Seeing the blood flowing from Mu Zhe's nose made him panic.
"Are you okay?"
Ma Yuan asked with a trembling voice. All eyes were on Mu Zhe.
"What did you do to Mu Zhe!?"
Zhou Jun asked. His voice was high and rough. It shook the entire room. He stood up and grabbed Lulu's collar. Zhang Yiran quickly tried to stop him. He gripp Zhou Jun's hand tightly. His eyes were sharp as he staring at Zhou Jun as if to say "Don't you dare touch my little brother!"
"I'm okay."
Mu Zhe said.
"You don't need to defend him..."
Zhou Jun's words stopped when Mu Zhe touched his hand.
"I'm really okay. Just..."
Flush!
Mu Zhe's face turned red again and blood started flowing from his nose like a stream.
"Ahhh....tissue?"
Zhou Jun quickly realised Lulu's collar and tried to help Mu Zhe.
"I'm okay."
Mu Zhe said as he walked casually and reached for a tissue. Without feeling anxious, he wiped the blood from his nose. For some reason, just looking at Lulu's face, he began to feel so excited and all of his nervous system rushed all over to his head.
Zhou Jun looked at Lulu and Mu Zhe one after another. Feel like he was trapped in a mazes. Are they fighting or what? Is there a secret between them? Why Mu Zhe blushing? Why Lulu looks guilty?
"Just... What going on here?"
He asked. Zhang Yiran who could guess what was happening just smiled. So do Ah Fei. They looked at each other as they tried to swallow their laughter.
Jiang Hai pinched Zhou Jun's arm. Zhou Jun turned his focus on Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai signaled for Zhou Jun to go to Ma Yuan who was sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked uncomfortable. His face was pale as a ghost.
Zhou Jun quickly went to Ma Yuan. He tried to gently stroke Ma Yuan's shoulder but Ma Yuan dodged as quick as lightning. His face looked scared as if he just meeting a God of death.
"Ma Yuan."
Zhou Jun called softly while kneeling in front of Ma Yuan. All eyes were on them. Confusingly and nervously.
"Ma Yuan. It's me. I'm sorry I scared you."
Zhou Jun said. Trying his best not to scare his love one.
"I promise I won't raise my voice ever again. I also won't use violence anymore. I won't ignore you from now on. A Yuan... please look at me."
Zhou Jun persuaded earnestly. He started to regret what he had done. Because he lost his tamper, he forgot how sensitive his beloved Ma Yuan was.
And they all forgot the original purpose of coming to Mu Zhe and Lulu's room. And, the mystery of a boy name Jonathan, was still a mystery in their minds.
