Chapter 2：Good Morning, Takeshi-kun!

"Uuuhhh…" Xiao Ping opens her eyes and shocks to see Bai Zi, her beloved dog lies on top of her, licking her whole face.

"Bai Zi, Doown!! Your breath is so stink!!" she exclaims while pushing Bai zi's body to her side. After that Xiao Ping wakes up and sitting cross-legged on her bed. Remembering the dream she just had, she smiles and touching her lips. Takeshi's kiss still imprints on her lips. So warm. So soft. So real.

"Xiao Ping!! Haven't you woke yet ?! Quick take a bath, the sun is getting higher!!" her mom's voice exclaims from outside dispersing Xiao Ping's reverie.

"I'm coming!" Xiao Ping exclaims in return. She quickly jumps off the bed and walks across the room to open her bedroom door. But shortly she turns around, smiling to a big poster that stick on the sidewall of the door.

"Good Morning, Takeshi-kun," she greats to the handsome face on the poster. While happily smiling , she comes out the room.

-------------------------------------------

Xiao Ping quickly leaves her bedroom. This time she already wears her high school's uniform, a light blue top with a navy blue skirt. Her shoulder-length hair is raised up in a pony tail, leaving only her neatly brushed bang on her face. She looks fresh.

"Morning," she greets to her father, mother, and brother, then sits on one of two empty seats. She takes some rice to her bowl and adds dried fish and mixed veggies, then eats heartily.

"Sis, be fast, today is my cleaning picket duty, " Xiao Lan, her brother, asks a bit impatiently. He has already finished his breakfast and now standing in front of the door with his backpack on.

"Okay, just a minute," Xiao Ping replies with a full mouth, causing her to choke. "Xiao Ping, don't speak while eating," her mom is advising from kitchen which is just separated by a small cupboard from the dining room. Xiao Ping nods to response. She then drinks her hot tea and wipes her mouth.

"I'm finish," she says while standing thus grabs her postman bag and puts it on her shoulder. She puts a quick kiss on her father's forehead. "Dad, Mom..I'm leaving!!"

"Eh.. wait a moment," her mom's words holds Xiao Ping. Xiao Lan pouts, feeling her mom only slowing down their departure. His mom quickly comes closer with a package in her hand.

"Give this to Aunt Yin. It's the dress that she ordered. Don't forget to ask the money," her mom orders while giving the package to Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping nods as a sign of understanding.

While in-arming Xiao Lan's shoulder, she gets out of the house and takes her bicycle. The package is tied on the steering. After Xiao Lan goes up to the rack, she starts pedaling her bike across the narrow alley.

Yuan Tai Ping, usually called Xiao Ping, is an ordinary 16 years old girl who studies at a public high school. Her father, Yuan Li Hong, is a public/cleaning service employee at a TV station. Her mother is just a housewife who some times receiving clothes sewing orders. Everyday Xiao Ping takes her younger brother Xiao Lan to school with bike before she goes to school. Some times she drives by to houses of her mom's customers to deliver packages just like today.

Xiao Ping walks in rush to her classroom. She can't wait to tell her dream to Er Hua, her closest friend. Her bang that neatly laid out right on top her forehead moves as energetic as her legs. She widens up her smile to she Er Hua is already on her chair. "Morning," Xiao Ping greets cheerfully.

Er Hua turns her head to her and replies, "Morning." Xiao Ping puts her bag on table and sits on her chair. She does it with so much happiness until Er Hua can sense it. "What's up ?" Er Hua asks in curiosity.

As if her smile in not wide enough, Xiao Ping pulls her lips corner up to the max. She then moves her eyeballs to the right and left before comes closer to Er Hua and whispers, "Last night ... I was kissed by Takeshi."

Er Hua widens her eyes, "Really ?" Xiao Ping nods in firm. Er Hua looks at her with a little envy. "Oh.. why haven't I ever dreamt about Takeshi ? Even less dreaming to be kissed just like you. Humph! I also want to be kissed by Takeshiii," Er Hua grumbles with a pouted mouth. Yet she excitingly continues, "So .. how did it feels ? Was it like real ? Tell me the whole story." Xiao Ping's face turns red because of enthusiasm and a bit embarrassed. "It felt.. warm and soft. It was just sooo beautiful. So, in the beginning, ... " Xiao Ping vivaciously tells her all about her dream.
