Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

DING

Eric's phone buzzed with a notification. It was loud enough, to gather everyone's attention. They all tuned their gaze towards Eric.

Seeing all the stares, Eric flinched and said with an awkward laugh,

"I am very sorry, I forgot to put my phone on silent. Excuse me" and took out his phone, reading the notification he subconsciously exclaimed, "Oh!".

Again all the stares towards him.

Li Wei, who was annoyed, cleared his throat.

Eric raised his head, to look forward and met all the gazes again, in the midst of them was Li Wei's cold glare.

Sweat formed on Eric's head and he said, "I am very sorry, please don't mind me" but still the gazes were on him.

Changing the topic, he said, "The result are out for the recent medical exam."

Turning his head towards Wang Yu Yan, who was adding wood to the fire,

he said, "Miss Su, do you by chance know someone with the name Su Yu Yan? This person came first in the national medical examination. Such a genius, this person maybe"

Wang Yu Yan: "..."

Li Wei: "….."

Wen Mei: "…."

Cao Guang: "….."

"Well Miss Su, what's your full name? I didn't get to ask you throughout the trip." Said Eric, unaware of the things he just said.

"Pftt…hahaha" Wen Mei burst into laughter as soon as she heard his words, followed by Wang Yu Yan and Cao Gaung.

Whereas Li Wei, did not show any expression and he could only sigh.

"Is there anything wrong in the words I have said?" asked Eric Lee with a confused expression.

"No there is nothing Wrong, Mr Eric. Well then answer your question, my full name is Su Yu Yan." said Wang Yu Yan with a smile on her face.

"Oh Su Yu Yan….wait, what?!" Eric asked in astonishment and disbelief.

Coming to his senses, he said, "Means, y-you are the one who came first"

"It seems so, Mr Eric" said Wang Yu Yan.

"Congratulations Yan Yan" said Wen Mei, while she hugged her friend. Breaking the hug, she said, "I knew you could do this".

To this Wang Yu Yan just gave a wry smile.

"Congratulations, Yu Yan." Cao Guang said while he clapped lightly.

In the midst of this, Li Wei was beyond surprised, it seemed like the one in front of her was an extraordinary gem.

"Congratulations" he said with a light smile.

"Well I think this calls for a party" said Wen Mei, while she brought the bottles of wine.

....

After almost two hours of partying and celebrations, the camp area was overtaken by quietness.

"Wen Mei, Mei, get up" said Wang Yu Yan, while she poked the drunk Wen Mei's cheeks.

Feeling some disturbance, Wen Mei's eyebrow's twitched and she groaned in annoyance and again fell into to great slumber.

Sighing, Wang Yu Yan announced, "I think she will not wake up. I will tuck her to bed then."

"Can you carry her? Do you need my help?" Cao Guang said.

"No it's ok. I am used to this. Well you also look tired, you should rest too. You look drunk." Wang Yu Yan suggested.

"Are you sure?" asked Cao Guang once more in his tipsy voice.

"It's fine" Wang Yu Yan.

"Ok then, but have you seen Ah Wei?" Cao Guang asked while he looked around.

"No, I didn't" she said.

*And honestly i don't want to face him* Wang Yu Yan said in her mind, while she supported Wen Mei, on her shoulders, and went to her tent.

"I saw him, he went to answer a call" Eric said while he took part in the conversation.

"Oh. So, I will be heading to bed. Good night, Mr Eric" he said.

"Good night" said Eric, as he saw Cao Guang heading to the tent and then Wang Yu Yan coming from the tent.

"Oh, Mr Eric. Are you not tired?" said Wang Yu Yan while she picked up the empty drink bottle that was in her path.

"Ah, No. But Miss Su, I'd like to apologize to you, for my behaviour earlier" Eric said with an apologetic expression.

"It's ok, Mr Eric. I didn't take it was a offense." Wang Yu Yan said, while she tried to pick up a bottle.

"Let me help" said Eric, as he dashed to her and picked up the bottle instead.

"Thank you" said Wang Yu Yan.

They slowly picked up all the bottles and went to the dustbin to throw it, when Eric said suddenly, "But Miss Su, I must truly say, you are indeed a beauty with brains"

To which Wang Yu Yan showed a smile.

"So I wonder, Has Miss Su ever been in a relationship?" Eric asked cautiously.

Wang Yu Yan didn't answer, but she kept walking.

Yes, she had a relationship in the past.

She too was a dreamy teenage girl, who dreamt of his prince and a relationship with him.

She too, wanted to get married to him and make a small yet happy family, where no one could ever disturb them, and where she can with her prince, live peacefully.

Her dream became reality when she got her prince and fell in love, they started a relationship. But the reality was nowhere, she dreamt of. The peace she felt was that before the storm.

Her relationship started to crumble and the cracks then developed into a gulf, a gulf so deep that it could not be filled.

That's when her prince started to distance himself from her. But she didn't lost hope and continued to love him and the relationship then turned into a chain.

And one day, her prince left. That's when she made a promise.

A pinky promise that she won't love him anymore.

"Miss Su? Miss Su?"

Wang Yu Yan was brought to her reality with the voice behind her.

CRASH

Wang Yu Yan dropped a glass bottle and as soon as it hit the ground, the bottle shattered.

Coming to her senses, Wang Yu Yan said, "I-I am sorry" as she bent down to pick up the glass pieces.

"Ah" she flinched in pain, when a glass piece made a cut on her skin.

"Miss Su, are you okay?" Eric said as he made Wang Yu Yan stand.

He took her hand where it was a cut and frowned. He examined the cut and started to blow on it.

Seeing his actions, Wang Yu Yan's mind went blank.

"Zhang Yong" she said subconsciously.

"Huh?" Miss Su did you say something" he asked confused.

"Z-" Wang Yu Yan wanted to say something, but was cut off by a voice

"Come with me"

The next thing she knew, her wrist was grabbed by a familiar warmth and she was dragged somewhere.
