His Birthday Part 4

February 14, 20XX (Thursday)

Zhao Manor

Yang could not measure the anger flowing in his bloodstream, like a deep river flooding the plains of the city. He was murderous. Yang and his friends had observed Mei Li and Ye Lan's talk; they were ready to defend Mei Li should they need to. He was only a few meters away just in case. Even Chang Min was sitting tensely on his chair, ready to bolt to Mei Li's rescue.

When Mei Li had talked back and dragged Ye Lan to the ground with her words, Ru Shi had even hollered a loud agreement of, "Preach Mei Li! Preach!"

Yang was grateful to Mei Li that she had defended him. She had done it most shamelessly and savagely too; he approved of her ways. Everyone near him had gasped when Mei Li had mocked Ye Lan about her deeds of the past.
