23 She Hadn'st Laughed Like This For A while

Xu Zhuya was awake due to continuous knocking on the door. She got up of the bed and while scratching her head she went to open the door.

Yan Rong was knocking on the door since 3 minutes. As the door opened, Yan Rong gave out a loud scream and when Xu Zhuya heard her scream she screamed back too. When they came back to their senses, Xu Zhuya said "Its you. Gosh, You scared the heck out of me. Why did you scream even ??"

Yan Rong was still confused as to whether this was her friend speaking or someone else. She dragged Xu Zhuya towards the mirror and showed her true self "Now look in the mirror."

When Xu Zhuya looked at herself in the mirror she everntually screamed. "Aaaaaaaaa." She touched herself through the mirror "Yan Yan, is this really me ??"

What they both saw in the mirror was Xu Zhuya. Her appearance changed a lot after a small nap. Her hair were completely messy. Her strands of hair were and here and there, up and dowm. And moreover, she had a face mask on her face. She forgot all about it and had gone to sleep. And she even was wearing a white dress so that's why she looked completely like a ghost.

After they got their senses back Yan Rong spoke "You really look like a ghost haha haha" She kept her hand on her stomach and started laughing. She kept on saying in between her laughs "Ahh, Xu.... hehe really.. tr...trust me hehe, You were looking like a ghost. haha."

Xu Zhuya gave a light slap on her shoulder and said "Shut up Yan Yan. You almost gave me a shock. Everyone wears a mask where was your concentration huh ??" She removed her face mask and touched her cheeks. "I ain't a ghost. You scared the shit out of me. Little dumb. You know what your expression was good too see.Looks like I'm really good at scaring people. haha" Xu Zhuya also started laughing and patter her shoulder as if indicating that she is praising herself.

Yan Rong frowned at her "Hmmphh!! My looks were still better than yours okay ?? You screamed in a worsest way than me." They both laughed as if the night was still young.

After a while Yan Rong said "Its good to have you back in your same sondition Xu." Yan Rong gave her a light hug. "Alright then Xu I'll leave now. Meng Bao is waiting for me. Bye. Sleep well."

When Yan Rong left the room, Xu Zhuya came back to her normal self. She sat on the bed and remembered how she used to be before her divorce. She used to be like a living soul with all cheerfulness and hapoiness. Now for these past few days she was living like a dull person. But today she felt alive again.

She used to be like this with Li Wei; always cheering and happy. She remembered how they communicated about kids. It happened like this ; once Li Wei came to Xu Zhuya's hospital because his mom told him to give some stuffs to Xu Zhuya. Li Wei took it as an opportunity to meet me and immediately went to her work place to meet her.

He reached the hospital and went to the receptionist place. He asked the direction for Xu Zhuya's room. The nurse directed him to her room and told him to wait for a while.

Li Wei looked at her room. It was plain and simple. On the desk there were few papers piled up. He sat at her swivel chair and waited for a while.

Just as he sat an idea popped in his mind. He kept the stuff which his mom gave on the table and hid somewhere she couldn't see. Li Wei managed to hide himself under the table.

After a while Xu Zhuya entered the room with Yan Rong. Yan Rong sat at the sofa front of the table and as usual Xu Zhuya sat on her swivel chair. She bought her chair nearer to her table. Just as she bought her chair nearer, the legs of the chair collied with something hard. Without looking down, she pushed the chair again. This time the chair didnt move forward but it went little back.

She looked down to see what it was, as she was about to see down Yan Rong spoke "Hey, who bought these stuff? It looks like some traditional thing."

Xu Zhuya looked at the stuff kept on the table. She shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know. Check the name it might be written on it." Xu Zhuya opened her legs wide and rested her head on the upper part of the chair.

She was resting peacefully on her chair. But down the table there was someone who was loving the whole view. Li Wei was controlling himself from touching her. After seeing those slender legs in front of him, he really wanted to touch her.

Meanwhile, Yan Rong was checking who had sent her the gift. She opened the pack. There were two dresses inside - One for male and the other for female.

"Hey, Xu ! Look at this ! There is a set of traditional dress for both male and female. Ohh yeah! There's a letter also." Yan Rong took the letter in her hand and started reading it " 'Hello, Daughter-in-law. There's a ritual in our family in which the newly wedded couple has to wear a traditional dress and greet all the family members so, therefore I want you both to wear this dress. The party is tomorrow starting from 7. Li Wei will give these gift to you.' woah this is good. Now you will attend a party wearing traditional dresses.

I'm gonna love it. You never wore any traditional dresses before, let's see how you are gonna do it this time. Wait a minute, your mother-in-law said that Li Wei will give the gifts. Now if the gifts are here, then where is Li Wei ? He must be here somewhere right ? He can't leave so early right ?"

Xu Zhuya felt that someone was tickling her body. She annoyingly removed the hand and said "Yan Yan, Stop touching me, it tickles me."

Yan Rong looked at her situation. She saw her sleeping. But she was confused as to when did she touch her because since 5 minutes she was standing in front of her table observing the gift. She didn't even go near her.

She approached Xu Zhuya to wake her up, just as she was about to wake her up she saw someone waving a hand at her from underneath the table. She looked towards the hand. She was shocked to see Li Wei sitting underneath the table and telling her to stop her from waking Xu Zhuya up.

Yan Rong understood the situation and embarassingly went out of the room. When the closing of the door was heard, Li Wei moved his slender fingers on her body.

Xu Zhuya pushed the hand away and said "Hey Yan Yan, just stop it, will you ? Let me sleep for a while. I'm just too tired."

Li Wei gave a mischievous grin and said "Yeah sure , I'll let you sleep, but ...."

Just as he about to complete his sentence, Xu Zhuya opened her eyes and said "Wait! that's a man's voice and it looks kind of familiar too. Where's Yan Rong ?"

"Yan Rong is gone. Now it's just the two of us, babe." Li Wei spoke from underneath the table showing all of his teeth by giving a devilish smile.

Xu Zhuya was shocked to see Li Wei sitting underneath the table. She looked at him questioningly and said "You ?? Why are you over here ?"
