Chapter 41 - A Challenge
"Are you tired of the sluts you have been playing with for the past one week which is why you called me? I have already told you I will never in this life become your play thing. Why don't you understand?" Yang Zi asked rudely. Shiyi quickly grabbed a pen and a paper from the table and scribbled something on it before he held it for Yang Zi to see.
"This is not the time for you to be angry. Don't forget you need to earn his trust in order for your plans to be successful, so why don't you play with his feelings like he is doing with yours right now? Your new mission is to make him fall in love with you," Shiyi showed her the words written on the paper. She could not help but agree to the new mission. Yang Zi did as she knew. She played with Yixian feelings just like Shiyi suggested. She was astonished that Shui Shui did not object to their plan. At the end of the conversation, Yang Zi agreed to meet him in the cafe close to Yixian's workplace.
"You want to play? Then, I will show you how it's done," Yang Zi said, smiling menacingly after she ended the call. Shiyi could not help but shiver when he saw how scary his best friend looked.
Yang Zi prepared herself emotionally and mentally before the time for her to meet Yixian. She knew that guys dislike girls that are over sensitive so she considered this meeting as her last chance of getting into a relationship with him. Their meeting was supposed to be at 5:00 pm but she arrived there fifteen minutes early. When she saw Yixian coming she smiled at him sweetly. Her action amazed Yixian, but he could not help smiling along. As they ate and talked, people kept staring at them, some with looks of admiration while others who are jealous of their relationship stared at them disgustedly. The two were somehow similar because no matter how people stared at them or gossiped behind their backs, they pretended as if they did not hear a thing. In the middle of their conversation, Yang Zi decided to give him a challenge.
"Yixian, you said you like me, right? What would you say if I tell you I will be your girlfriend, but on one condition," Yang Zi stated firmly. Her sudden change of mind startled Yixian, but he did not let it show on his face.
"Really? I will really love it if you will accept my humble heart, but what's your condition, honey?" Yixian asked smiling but Yang Zi did not laugh along with him, she just stared at him.
"My condition is not a hard one, it's simple. If you can make me laugh or smile right now then I will instantly agree to become your girlfriend however if you cannot do so then you will personally get rid of all those rumours that are circulating about us. You will stay away from me forever," Yang Zi said coldly. Anyone would have assumed that making someone laugh was a minor task, but Yixian knew that it was not as easy as it seemed with this pretty lady in front of him. She barely smiles whenever she was with him, so how will he come about making her smile?
"Honey, can you tell your darling to do anything else, I think it is almost impossible to accomplish this task or don't you agree with me?" Yixian requested as he smiled weirdly.
"How will you know if it is impossible if you don't even give it a shot?" Yang Zi cross-questioned nonchalantly. Yixian took a deep breath to compose himself before he proceeded in doing everything to make her laugh. After ten minutes of telling so many jokes just to make Yang Zi laugh or even smile a bit, Yang Zi refused to laugh. Despite looking so stupid in front of everyone, Yixian disdain giving up. He has set his mind on getting Yang Zi and he would do anything to get her on his bed. Yang Zi smiled wickedly in her mind. To her, she concluded his jokes and little display as being silly.
"Zi Er, don't forget our plans. Smile right now if you want to really become someone he will trust. Zi Er smile, Okay or I will come over there and spank you?" Shui Shui who was listening to their conversations through the wireless earpiece shouted at the other end. They were afraid that she would mess up their plan. That was why Shiyi suggested using the earpiece. Just in case she needs their help. Yang Zi could not help smiling when she imagined the expression of Qing Shui screaming at the top of her lungs for her to smile.
"Oh! You finally smiled. I did it. Yes, I did it," Yixian shouted excitedly as he ran to hug her. His single act made people glare at him strangely.
"Yeah, I am amazed at myself too. You finally won, Zhou Yixian," Yang Zi added as she patted his back. Out of happiness, Yixian even pecked her on her cheeks. Yang Zi pretended as if she did not mind, but deep down she cursed him for taking advantage of her. They finally parted ways after Yang Zi declined his offer to take her home.
"Hey guys, I don't think I will come back today. As you know, my one week suspension ended yesterday, I should have started work today, but I decided not to so I have to resume work unfailingly early tomorrow morning or else my mean boss will be at my neck. I hope you both understand my plights," Yang Zi said after she parked her car at her apartment's parking space.
"Ok. I bet he is already fine right now so throw him out of your house today so you won't have to stress yourself over commuting from your apartment to the Mansion and back to your apartment again?" Shui Shui said coldly.
