Was it actually him?
The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity. The leaves of the plants were covered from the dew drops.
Hui Jian Yu was sleeping soundly when the early morning's bright sun rays shove into his room through the windows. Hardly lifting his left hand, Jian Yu rubbed his eyes as he tried to avoid the sunlight.
''Shit!''
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and sat down on the bed. But then he moved his hand to the back of his head and rubbed it.
All of a sudden, the events from last night started picturing in his mind.
''Cheers!''
''Can I join you for a drink?''
He then remembered that he bumped into someone.
''You have the same ring as Lu Qiao Yan''. He remembered saying that.
As his slender fingers moved toward his lips, his eye's almost popped out of shock.
''Fuck!''
''Who did I kiss last night?''
He quickly turned around and looked for his cell phone. Upon finding it on the bedside table, he picked it up and tried to turn it on but there was no charging. Leaving his phone on the charging, Jian Yu rushed out of his room.
Upon reaching the stairs, he stopped as he checked his pockets to search for something.
''Fuck it!''
Hui Jian Yu ran back upstairs to his room.
On a beautiful morning, the cool breeze was blowing lovely and the birds were chirping and the butterflies were dancing. The dandelions were flying in the air and he was watering the plants with all his love and care.
Wen Yuxuan carefully watered every plant in the garden while Yan Yifeng was sitting there drinking some coffee and doing his office work.
Wen Yuxuan's morning was very peaceful until Hui Jian Yu called him. As his phone started ringing, Wen Yuxuan placed the watering can aside and took out his phone from his pocket only to see the little devil calling him to ruin his lovely morning.
''Pick up! You are a damn little plushy''. Hui Jian Yu angrily cursed his cousin, Wen Yuxuan who took a couple of seconds to pick up.
''Agh!! my battery is running out''. Jian Yu gritted his teeth.
As he picked up the call. Jian Yu burst out.
''What took you so long?''
Wen Yuxuan smiled, ''It took me only twenty-eight seconds to pick up the call. It's not too late''.
Ignoring him, Jian Yu asked him. ''Do you know how I came back to my own house last night?''
''I don't know''. Wen Yuxuan said. ''I came back first. You can't remember?''
''I remember! But what happened after that?'' Jian Yu asked. ''I can't remember how I got home last night''.
''You usually grab a taxi. Or sometimes it's Bolin who drops you by''. Wen Yuxuan observed his plants while talking to Jian Yu over the phone. He felt a sense of beauty around him.
How could he not? After all, aside from his precious plants in the garden, one lovely and handsome person was also sitting there, Yang Yifeng.
Hui Jian Yu interrupted him. ''But I vaguely remember that I...''
''Hmm!''
''I think I met a guy who looked exactly like Lu Qiao Yan''.
''What!'' Wen Yuxuan almost dropped the phone from his hand. His voice was so loud that Yang Yifeng looked at him panicked.
Wen Yuxuan shook his head assuring him nothing happened and resumed talking with Jian Yu.
''Are you serious?'' Wen Yuxuan asked him.
''Yeah!'' Jian Yu sighed. ''I am not sure if I asked him to send me to my own house or not''.
Hui Jian Yu whined. ''The worst thing is..that I think I kissed him''.
''What!''
This time Wen Yuxuan's 'What' was so loud that Yang Yifeng got startled, he almost spilled the coffee onto his jeans. Wen Yuxuan looked back at him and shook his head again.
Sighing heavily, Yang Yifeng returned to his work.
Almost whispering, Wen Yuxuan asked Jian Yu. ''Did you check if anything was missing''.
''I did. Nothing is missing''. Jian Yu replied.
''Did you talk to Lu Qiao Yan?''
''Not yet. I am scared to talk to him now''.
''Wait! You said he looked like Lu Qiao Yan. Was it him?''
Hui Jian Yu tried to think about what Wen Yuxuan asked. ''Was it him?''
He remembered something from last night.
''Hui Jian Yu''. It was his voice.
''You sound like him. You smell like him''.
''Jian Yu. This house, right?''
Shaking his head vigorously, Jian Yu shook off all the thoughts from his mind and answered back to Wen Yuxuan.
''It can't be him. Lu Qiao Yan will never do that to me''. He said.
''Do you want me to come over?'' Wen Yuxuan asked.
''It's okay..I..'' Suddenly something popped into Jian Yu's mind, and he shouted. ''My honeybee..''
Running out, he came out of the main door into a lobby and sighed as he thanked god. ''It's still there''.
It was his racing bike.
''What a relief''.
''Hello, Jian Yu! You still there''. Wen Yuxuan asked.
As he turned around to go inside, Hui Jian Yu's eyes fell on the CCTV camera. He ran to the control room to see the footage from the last night.
''What?''
As he searched, he got anxious. ''Where did all the files from last night go?'' He kept searching through the computer.
''It's not here''.
''Who could come here and mess with my CCTV cameras?''
He called Wen Yuxuan again.
''Dude!''
''Where did you disappear all of a sudden?'' Wen Yuxuan asked.
''I checked all the cameras, but the footage from last night has disappeared''. Jian Yu told him.
''I think you should report this crime''. Wen Yuxuan suggested.
''What am I going to report?'' Jian Yu asked. ''Am I supposed to tell the police that I was drunk? And I came back with a random guy who looked like Lu Qiao Yan. He even came inside my house. And then I fell asleep. All like that?''
''Umm..then why don't you just ask Lu Qiao Yan?''
''How can I ask him?''
''Why not?''
''I will be busted if I ask him?''
''What will he do when he would come to know..that...that I kissed a random guy?'' Jian Yu was super annoyed. ''He came inside my bedroom too''.
''Wait..!'' Wen Yuxuan said. ''What are you going to do if it was him?''
Hui Jian Yu felt like banging his head on the wall as the thought of Lu Qiao Yan kissing him struck his mind.
