No Time - Chapter 35: Running Away

School’s going fine. Soon, there will be a halloween festival in a few months.

Our school has some foreign students and they promoted the event saying that it would remind them of the nationality.

I don’t care, I just want candy and food.

Our school has three major events. The halloween festival, the sports convention, and the regular school festival.

The halloween festival would come several months later but they were already preparing for it.

This week, on a Friday, would be the birthday of my siblings and I. We were all born on June 4th. It must be some kind of out of the world thing. Mom almost had a miscarriage as Xiao Bing was born because it was a very early premature birth.

I invited my two friends, Yun and Hua. Xiao Lai invited several friends that were counted to be about 50 people. And Xiao Bing invited everyone from her grade and younger, counting up to 500 more people. Ge invited Di Li Feng, Nightcall band members, his manager, and classmates from his grade, counting up to 100 more people. So doing the math, there would be about 650 people in the party. But Xiao Lai said that there would be plenty of uninvited guests, so maybe 700?

Xiao Lai was in charge of ordering all the decorations. Xiao Bing would be ordering the drinks and cake. Ge would think of the entertainment. I would try to invite the principal.

It wasn’t as hard as it sounded.

My excuse was: “Principal, we won’t have any booze in our party, but some people need to be supervised. I don’t want people sneaking off and going into any of our rooms.”

The principal agreed instantly. Di Li Feng likes this man, so this would be a bribe to get him to provide some entertainment to our guests.

It took 3 days to get all the preparations done.

Ge and I worked hard to get all the food cooked to the best of our abilities. A karaoke station was set up at a room, a billiard at another, and you get the point. Bunch of rooms with different types of entertainment. Of course, they all had monitors that would be supervised from time to time.

On the day of our party, Ge had to go back to his apartment condo and get ready. All his clothes were moved over there after all.

He came back an hour before the party with the Nightcall members and his manger.

“Ge, how come you didn’t tell me about your manager?” I asked as nicely as possible.

“Xiao Yu… I didn’t want you to worry…”

“This is making me worried.”

“I-I didn’t mean it that way.” Oho, really?

“Shui Yu, I really like your brother.” Bastard, don’t call me so familiarly!

“Don’t butt in!”

I guess nobody expected me to yell. Xiao Lai and Xiao Bing dropped whatever decorations they were putting up and turned to me in disbelief.

“What? I can’t say anything I want?” I smirked. Sorry, but I was in a terrible mood.

“Xiao Yu, I also like Lu Han, please give him a chance. You gave a chance to Xiao Lai!”

“Ge, this time, you’re the one being chased and you’re already at the stage of being in a relationship, of course that causes much more trouble! Do you expect me to believe that a person can stay truthful and loyal forever? With all that I’ve been through and seen? Unless he survives and you guys get the blood marriage ceremony done during the apocalypse, I won’t believe it!”

Ah.

What did I just spout out? So stupid!

“Apocalypse?” Shut up bastard!

“Blood marriage ceremony?” Ge, I really don’t want to talk about that right now!

“Xiao Yu, I really, really, like him. And I believe he’ll live. Please, don’t mind?”

“Go away. Leave me alone. Go and tell your lover everything.” I was being a little mean.

I rushed off and I could hear “SHUI YU!” Ugh, he only calls me that when he’s serious.

I left the house. I was still many times stronger than my siblings. I ran as fast as I could, rushing pass the cities, I became a mere blur that swept through everything in its way.

I wasn’t going to think about the party right now, neither of my Ge and Lu Han.

Too bad for Yun and Hua but I wasn’t going to participate in the party anymore.

I just ran as fast and far as I could. My speed had increased after more training. Nobody would be able to beat me at this aspect.

But… where was I?

I had crossed over mountains, seas, and deserts already. Where was I?
