Hotel Bluestone.
''Hahaha…'' Shi Luo threw her head back as she laughed.
''This guy seems to have a good sense of humor,'' Yu Chen nodded as he glanced at Jun Boyan, ''But why are we acting like stalkers?" He adjusted the pink cap on his head. He had to beg for this from a young boy outside.
They were sitting one table away from Shi Luo and her supposed blind date and Shi Luo could not see them because her back was facing towards them.
Jun Boyan pulled his black hoodie cap to cover his head properly. He leaned back on the chair, adjusting his shades, ''Will a good sense of humor feed her?" he mocked.
''That guy is wearing a luxury brand tuxedo, looks handsome, it won't be a surprise if he is a second generation heir,'' Yu Chen stroked his chin with his thumb, ''And the woman… She is wearing branded clothes as well and the mannerism speaks for itself. Although I can't see her face, it doesn't look like she is the kind of woman who needs a man to feed her. Moreover, Hotel Bluestone is not a place where just anyone can come and go around.''
There was no response from Jun Boyan.
Yu Chen turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed, ''What has it got to do with you anyway?"
No response.
''She can be well-fed or she can starve. Why the heck are we acting like some creepy stalkers for the past 15 minutes,'' Yu Chen glared at a certain moody young master.
No response.
He was about to speak again when something clicked in his mind. He glanced at Shi Luo's dress before looking back at Jun Boyan, ''Wait… Is she the woman whom I saw at your place?" He failed to notice it earlier because of his friend's weird antics.
Jun Boyan finally moved, he removed his shades and his eyes narrowed dangerously, ''That bastard…'' he spoke through gritted teeth.
Yu Chen pulled back from him. He knew that his friend was a weirdo but he didn't have to prove it like this again and again.
He slowly followed Jun Boyan's gaze and noticed that there was some movement on the other table. The man was patting the girl's hand very gently.
''That bastard dared to touch her in the first 15 minutes they met. Did she tell me that her blind date is this jerk, huh?" Jun Boyan pushed himself to his feet.
Yu Chen almost fell down the chair. ''Calm down,'' he grabbed Jun Boyan's hand, trying to pull him down to his chair but his attempts were futile as it looked like the man was not going to budge until he wreaked havoc at the other table, ''Damn. Do you think she will be very impressed if you go at her like a caveman? She would probably run away thinking that you are some toxic jerk who is jerkier than her current blind date.''
Yu Chen concluded that his friend must have fallen in love with this woman in short notice. If he had a love life, then why was no one aware of it?
But then, all this time, he has been living with his mother in Beijing, taking care of her, so it was impossible for him to go out dating. And even if he did, why would that girl be here, sitting on a blind date? After all, in what aspect was Jun Boyan lacking. Name, fame, looks, money, everything was perfectly enticing about this guy.
He is the current Prince Charming of Crystal University, taking over the position of his elder brother. And that fact only made numerous girls keep him under their radar.
So, on what basis will a girl ignore him and sit on some blind dating session?
Yu Chen knew what it was.
This thing was usually described in two words which will go down in history books in golden letters.
'Unrequited love'
His friend, Jun Boyan, was loving this 'lady in blue' one-sidedly. His love was intense. So much so that he was willing to watch her sitting with another guy so that rate the guy on the basis of whether he was worthy of her or not.
But meanwhile, he was unable to control his caveman instincts when his ladylove laughed at another man's words and when another man touched her.
Yu Chen removed his thick rimmed glasses. He sighed before shaking his head. His friend was living through a love greater than what was explained in those antique looking historical romance genre-based books.
Unaware of his friend's wild imagination, Jun Boyan quietly took a seat. Half of what Yu Chen said made a point. If he crashed her blind date like this, what if Shi Luo saw him as some crazy stalker?
''You have been indifferent to these worldly mirages all your life. Look at you now,'' Yu Chen patted his shoulder, looking at the man in pity.
Jun Boyan frowned, ''Have you lost your mind?"
''Sigh… I understand where you are coming from. You don't need to be embarrassed.''
Jun Boyan was about to snap at him when he saw something from the corner of his eyes. He tilted his head to get a clear view of what was transpiring at the other table.
Shi Luo's date was holding her index finger, stroking the tip gently and she was letting him. Damn, she was sitting in such a relaxed posture.
Don't tell me she knows this bastard well.
Jun Boyan placed his clenched fists on the table, the veins on the back of his hand popped up.
''Unrequited love, my friend, is just this…'' Yu Chen glanced at the ceiling of the grand French restaurant, letting out another deep sigh, ''Bitter yet sweet, pain yet relief, tears yet smile….Haish, shall I just become a writer? I think I have that in me,'' he mumbled under his breath.
The situation on the other table was polar opposite from what these two people had imagined.
