Chapter One

So Noisy..So annoying

I Love Your SisterChapter 1

"Mei! Wake up! You’re going to be late for school!” Xu yelled at his sister’s bedroom door. He walked away shaking his head. Yuchen Xu dotes on his sister, Yuchen Mei, very much. They were the only ones left of their family after their parents died in a murder. As the elder sibling, Xu had to play the part of both a father and mother to Mei. It was very tough for Xu, who was still, at the same time, pursuing his university studies in order to take over his father’s business empire.

Xu and Mei both had traumatic childhood experiences. They grew up with nightmares of their parents being brutally murdered every night. Xu was very strong for a 20 year old. He had to be. 5 years back, when the incident happened, Mei used to cry every night. She was just 13 then. She became so quiet and afraid to be alone even for a minute. Mei went into a fit every time she was left alone by herself so Xu had to take her to see a psychiatrist. Mei was admitted to psychiatric hospital for treatment for 3 years before she was deemed to be fully recovered.

Mei was more cheerful when she came back home and was with Xu. He was all it took to make Mei smile whether she was angry or sad. There was nothing about Mei that Xu didn’t know of. Mei never did anything that would upset her brother because she knew how much he has sacrificed for her, how much he has worried about her and how much he has done for her. To Mei, Xu was everything.

“Mei! For the last time! Get out of bed already. You’re going to be late for school. Hurry get dressed! I’ll drop you on my way! Mei!” Xu yelled again, knocking the door even harder this time but there was still no response. “ Mei! I’m going to be very angry at you if you don’t get up now! I won’t talk to…”

Xu didn’t finish his sentence when the door opened and Mei leaned against the door, arms folded across her chest. She was already dressed all ready to go to school. Xu smiled and sighed at her.

“Xu-Ge.. I wished you wouldn’t do that every morning. It is such a sore to hear you ranting every morning. I’m not even in the wrong. See? You thought I haven’t even woken up didn’t you? I was getting ready. When you yelled, I was in the bathroom. Haiyo…” Mei explained shaking her head as they walked down the corridor of Mei’s bedroom.

“ Alright. Alright. I wish you would wake up a little earlier. I have to drop you on my way to school and it’s quite a distance from you school and mine. You do know that right? I’ll be late for school.” Xu nagged at his sister while they were walking down the 30-steps staircase of their home.

“Ge,” Mei stopped in her tracks and turned to face Xu who also had stopped. “ If I’m burdening you to send me to school, then it’s ok. I’ll take the bus instead. I don’t want you to be late for school and get into a row with your lecturers because of me.” Mei said to her brother with a sad expression on her face that made Xu feel guilty. “ From tomorrow onwards, I will go to school myself. I’ll take the bus like everyone else.”

“ Mei.. You’re not a burden to me. You never were and never will be.” Xu told Mei, his eyes drooping as though Mei had said something that hurt him very much. He took Mei by the shoulders and looked into her eyes. “ I love you very much and I will do anything for you. You know that. You know I will go through anything so long as you are happy and safe Mei. I will never let anyone hurt you and take you away from me, never. You‘re all that I have.”

Mei couldn’t help but feel guilty for what she had said before. She stared her brother face. She gave up and stamped her foot on the steps. Mei frowned and put her hands on her hips.

“GE!! You always do that! You never give me a chance to win once in a while. You always win! I don’t know how you do it but you’re good. Damn good. Looks like I have to try even HARDER than always.” Mei sulked.

Xu burst out laughing on the staircase and ruffled Mei’s long black hair before skipping down the remaining steps, leaving Mei behind.

“Hahaha.. You shouldn’t have bothered trying in the first place if you knew that I’ll win.” Xu teased an already frustrated Mei. “Come on. We’re really going to be late if we don’t make a move now.”

Mei could only smile at her brother before skipping down the stairs to join him. She knew that her brother meant every word he said. She hugged him around the waist and they both headed for the door.

“Shao Ye, Xiao Jie, Have a nice day .” Their servants at the door greeted them as they passed by. Xu and Mei nodded in acknowledgement before getting into Xu’s white Mercedes convertible.

Xu sped up as they went along. It was a routine every morning. Xu would have to wake Mei up and they would challenge each other’s love before heading to school. Should Mei wake up earlier, then they would squeeze in breakfast into their schedule. Today was like any other day of the year. Xu looked at Mei, who was singing along to the songs that were played, and smiled. The wind blew her hair all over the place. She stopped singing and cursed the wind.

Mei looks so happy. I hope it stays this way Mei. I cannot bear to see you heartbroken again. If only I could give the whole world to you Mei. I would. You know I would. Xu said to himself.

The white Mercedes came to a halt in front of Sakura High School, Mei’s school. She suddenly became quiet and stared into space. I hate to leave Xu-ge. Every time I leave school for long periods of time, I‘m so happy. Even if I only have Xu-Ge to spend my time with, even if it is at the therapy sessions. I only have him, he‘s the only one who loves me and the only one I love. The first school bell rang.

“Mei.. Shall I get Ah Yie Shu-Shu (uncle) to drive your bike here or do you want me to pick you up after school? MEI!” Xu called to break Mei’s daze. “A penny for your thoughts. What had you in a daze? Is there something wrong? Are you alright?” Xu asked looking a little worried.

“Huh? No.. no.. Nothing’s wrong.. I was just.. Never mind. Don’t ask Ah Yie shu-shu to send the bike over. I want you to fetch me home. Ok then. I finish at…” Mei did not finish her sentence when her name was called out loudly.

“YUCHEN MEI!!!! YOU’RE FINALLY HERE!! HURRY!” It was Lin Jingmei, Mei’s only friend in school. “We’re going to be late. Classes are already starting.”

Mei nodded her head and raised her hand to signal to Jingmei that she heard her. Mei turned around to face Xu.

“This is why I hate taking leave from school for long periods of time. I finish at five in the evening. Don’t be late. I’ll get upset. Take care.”

Mei kissed Xu on the cheek before she got out of the car. Xu smiled at his sister and told her to have a nice day at school. Mei could only smile and lied to him that she would. Xu too knew that Mei did not like coming to school but there was not much that could be helped. Xu waved goodbye and drove off.

Mei watched her brother’s car leave the school ground before turning around to face Jingmei, who was only inches apart from her. Mei gasped and looked at Jingmei as though she had gone mad.

“What are you trying to do, scaring me like that?! What if I had fainted here?” Mei asked her 2nd year junior. Jingmei was still staring hard at Mei. “What?!”

“I have bad news, I have good news. Which one do you want to know first?” Jingmei asked with a serious tone.

“Give me the good news first. Being in this school itself is bad news. Spill the good news first than blow me with the bad news.” Mei told Jingmei as they walked into the school campus.

“Okay. As you wish. The good news is, my class is just above yours this year and the bad news is, if we don’t speed up, we’ll get detention.” Jingmei said pacing up in her steps.

Mei could only sigh and roll her eyes at Jingmei’s lame announcement. Mei always thought Jingmei was very adorable. She always seemed to be in a rush. She was always running after something or classes, even when she wasn’t late. Mei had to smile at Jingmei’s child-like behaviour. Jingmei was Mei’s 2nd year junior who got acquainted to Mei when she was being bullied by the school varsity team on her first day. The varsity team found Jingmei very nerdy and had tried to bully her on her first day at school but Mei came to Jingmei’s rescue. Mei rarely intervened in other people’s business but she was unstable that day and stood up for Jingmei. Mei exchanged a few slaps with the varsity team before pulling Jingmei aside.

Mei was one of the more well-known people in school because she was amongst the richest students in school. By far the richest one of them all. Not to mention one of the prettier girls in school, so the varsity team decided to recruit Mei into their sorority club, which of course Mei turned down. That was when the enmity between them began. Mei was also popular amongst the school boys, which some of whom she has never even talked to. They seem to know more about her than she does herself. In fact, the entire school knows her past better then she does. Mei was also frequently talked about, by the teachers of her school. There were times when Mei would absent herself from school for long periods of time because of an appointment with the doctor or she was too tired from racing the previous night.

Mei raced three times a week as a hobby with a bunch of street boys. Xu did not stop her because he believed that, so long as it can keep her mind off of the traumatic memories and make her happy, there shouldn’t be any reason why he should stop her. Mei preferred speeding on her Ferrari super bike than spending time in the dance studio, an extra-curricular activity that she had to take up at school. As much as she preferred racing, she was good at dancing too. Her dance instructor adores Mei’s passion and energy when she was on the dance floor.

Her being well-liked by the dance instructor drew further jealousy from the varsity team who were also in the dance club. In the past they had tried to sabotage Mei, switching her tape with some other tapes. Mei got pissed off and went into a rage, almost strangling her fellow schoolmate. Since then, they did not dare to try anything else on Mei.

Mei herself did not understand why her schoolmates would not leave her alone, which was what she wants to be in school. She did not see why they would want to trouble her when she has done nothing wrong. Mei tries very hard to keep a relatively low profile in school but often to no avail.

Beautiful day. Too bad I have to be in this dumb place. Sigh.. Mei said to herself as she walked along the basketball court with Jingmei. They were heading towards the locker area, so they had to pass by the basketball court, which in the mornings were buzzing with boys playing basketball.

Wasting their energy here so early in the morning instead of paying attention in class. Such a waste. Mei thought.

“MEI!! You’re back in school already!” Someone shouted across the court.

Mei stopped in her tracks and looked at the direction the voice was coming from. It was her classmate Jun Yin. He was with his normal bunch of ignorant friends who thought of nothing else but girls in short skirts. Mei rolled her eyes and kept on walking. Jun yin and his friends ran after Mei with their school bags and crowded around her.

“Mei, where have you been? You were away from school for 2 weeks this time. Are you alright?” Jun yin asked.

“Mei I heard you went back to the hospital because you had an attack again. Is that true?” another asked.

“Mei, FaYun told me that you went into a rage and almost killed somebody. Then you got called down to the police station and they sent you to psychiatric hospital. Did you really kill somebody?” Hun Fa asked.

“Did you really do it Mei? Did you?” Jun Yin asked again.

Mei was at the verge of screaming her head off. She stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She looked up at the boys with eyes filled with annoyance and danger. The boys took a step back feeling threatened and feared Mei might hurt them if they had offended her. Mei glanced at each of the fear-stricken boys’ faces and lowered her eyes and looked on the ground.

“He didn’t die. Lost too much blood. He slipped into a coma.” Mei said. The boys gasped in fear. Even Jingmei looked scared. “He asked so many questions. He talked too much. It was getting on my nerves.”

Mei then raised her eyes and stared at Jun Yin’s face. He was turning purple and looked as though he was about to cry. “I had to shut him up. I had to. So I punched his nose several times before he fell on the ground. He was bleeding but he was crying for help. So noisy. So annoying.” Mei then looked at Hun Fa, tilted her head and gave an evil-looking half-smile. “Then I strangled him. That’s when the police came.”

Hun Fa’s eyes widened with fear. So wide they looked as though they were going to pop out of their sockets. The rest of them didn’t look any different from him. Jun Yin looked sick to the stomach.

“You guys kind of remind me of him. Annoying and asking too many questions.”

The boys fled at those words, leaving Mei and Jingmei alone. Mei couldn’t help but let out a giggle when they left. Jingmei was shocked and thought that Mei had gone out of her mind. Mei shook her head and continued walking, smiling to herself. Jingmei followed. She became quiet all of a sudden.

“Mei Xue-Jie. Did you really do all those things? I mean.. you didn’t even call me to tell me where you were or what happened to you. You don’t even pick up my calls.” Jingmei said, stooping in front of her locker. She too was on the verge of crying but it only made Mei laughed even louder.

“Eh. Xue-Mei, did you really believe that I am capable of doing all those things? I was only trying to scare those boys so that they would leave and stay away from me. You know I don’t like crowds.” Mei explained, approaching her locker and punching in the combinations to her lock. Jingmei heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Mei.

“Besides, did you see the look on those guys faces? They thought I was going to kill them or something. It was so comical. Don’t you think so? Hahaha…” Mei laughed, drawing her books from her locker.

"Yeah it was. Especially Jun Yin Xue-zhang. I thought he would wet his pants there and then by the look on his face. “ Jingmei told Mei. They both laughed at it before their laughter were drowned by high-pitched laughter from behind them. It was the varsity team.

“Some people really have the guts and face to come back to school after committing a crime and being labelled a nutcase.” Cai Ye, the gang’s leader, said loud enough for the entire locker area to hear. She had a smug looking smile plastered on her face as she walks towards her locker, which was only 5 doors away from Mei’s.

“How can the school authorities take in such dangerous people like them in? What were they thinking?” another member, Hu Li added.

“That is not the problem. The bottom-line is, if I were a nutcase and am already being labelled by the society, I wouldn’t even show up at school. Would you Shun Mei?” Xiao Qiao said, trying to add fuel to the fire.

Mei stood at her locker’s door looking on the ground. She was trying so hard to control her temper. Mei closed her eyes and tightened her grip on the handle of the locker as the varsity members shot their mouths off.

“I certainly wouldn’t. I ‘d probably quit school and get married. Wait. I probably shouldn’t. Or maybe I couldn’t. I mean if I were a guy, would I marry a nutcase?” Shun Mei asked her fellow bimbo friends. They laughed at her statement.

“Lonely Nutcase!” The Huang twins, Wen Ning & Wen Ling said together. Again the varsity members laughed at their own lame jokes. Except for them, the whole locker area was as silent as a funeral. Their high-pitched laughter echoed throughout the area and corridor but was silenced as Mei slammed shut her metal locker door. It startled everyone there.

Jingmei sensed trouble and tried to intervene by tugging on Mei’s uniform but Mei pulled away from Jingmei’s reach. Mei took slow steps towards Cai Ye and stared at her. Cai Ye looked a little intimidated but could only look at Mei with her big puppy eyes and her breathing paced. Mei was now only inches away from a frozen Cai Ye. Mei moved behind Cai Ye and put her lips closer to Cai Ye’s ear.

“You see, this is what happens when a nutcase is standing close to you. Your heart beats faster, it races like mad. You breathe faster because you are afraid and then you freeze and tense up.” Mei whispered into Cai Ye’s ear. Cai Ye stopped breathing. She jumped when Mei rested her arms on her shoulders. “But what you really need to know about nutcases is that you shouldn’t piss them off. You shouldn’t even try to. You might put your life at risk. Remember that.”

The whole locker area was now so dead silent, you could hear a pin drop. Mei patted Cai Ye’s shoulders and signalled a frightened Jingmei to leave for class. Coincidentally, the 2nd bell rang. Jing Wen, another member of the varsity team, ran over to the panic-stricken Cai Ye and asked her if she was alright. Cai Ye snapped out of her aura and panted, cursing Mei. Swearing that she would get back at Mei.

Xu’s tires screeched as he comes to a halt in front of his school campus. The crowd, especially the girls, went wild as he steps out of his car. Which was nothing new to Hishedori University. Xu was a superstar at school. A second year senior in Business Management who was very popular at school. A crowd pleaser and a good-looking one too. Xu was well-liked by his peers and was the major gossip subject amongst the ladies of the campus. He was not very interested in any of the girls at school because of Mei. Xu believes that Mei deserves his full attention rather than the girls at school, which was not something new. Everyone at school knew that Xu was very protective of his little sister. Xu did after all bashed a schoolmate black and blue just because he called Mei a mental retard. It was not like Xu to show his temper, so since then, none of the students at school dared to speak ill of Mei. Xu was sociable and trustworthy. Even the teachers at school liked him. Hardworking and diligent, Xu respects his elderly very much especially the ladies, even if they were just his friends. Xu had two best friends since high school, Huang Lin (whom they address as Lin-Di- and Fang Jun Yu (also known as Jay). Lin-di, Jay and Xu (Xu Shao Ye) made up the SunBoys. The trio was top at school in academics and sports. Lin-di and Jay knew about Xu’s past and his character very well. They were both by his side because they knew Xu had no one else left in his world other than Mei and them. Lin-di and Jay were like two extra big brothers to Mei as they always hung around with Xu at his house during most of their free time.

Speaking of which, Jay and Lin-di drove in moments after Xu and halted their black convertibles behind Xu’s. Jay and Lin-di stepped out of their autos and slapped Xu high fives before the trio walked into campus together. The campus was buzzing around with students and teachers like any other days of the week. The SunBoys were heading towards changing room.

“Eh, Xu, you weren’t around for the past two weeks, did something happen to Mei?” Lin-di asked Xu when they were in the male changing room. They were changing into their gym attires and Xu’s voice was muffled. Lin-di arched his eyebrows and rolled his eyes. “What was that?”

“I said, yes. I took Mei to the psychiatric hospital. Mei had an attack and she fainted. She had to be admitted there. I couldn’t possibly leave her alone, can I?” Xu repeated when he was done putting on his attire. He sat down on the bench and rubbed his knuckles. “She was screaming and calling out to my parents. Then she cried for me not to leave her. She wasn’t even conscious when she said all that.”

Xu sighed. Jay and sat down beside Xu and put his arm around him. Xu had his head buried in his hands and seemed tired. Jay looked at Lin-di hopelessly and gestured Lin-di to say something.

“Look Xu, she’s going to be alright. It’ll take time of course but she has gotten better hasn’t she? Is she at school already?” Lin-di asked, wiping his face with a towel.

“She’s already in school but I’m worried that she hasn’t recovered fully from the last attack. I feel so helpless right now I think that I’m a useless brother.” Xu said shaking his head.

Jay playfully punched Xu’s shoulder and cursed him. “Bullshit. If there was any award for the most caring brother in the world, you should… No.. You WOULD win it. No questions asked.” Jay encouraged Xu, smiling at him. Xu gave a half-hearted smile back to his beast friend. “Hey, you don’t look convinced. Look Xu, we all know that you love Mei very much and would do anything and everything for her. But she has to live her own life. There’s a limit to how much one can help another. Some things are just beyond us. Hmm?”

“Jay’s absolutely right Xu. You’ve done all you can to help Mei. Let her recover on her own. You just have to be there for her and stop worrying yourself. If you get sick, that’ll upset Mei even more. You don’t want her any more upset than she already is do you?” Lin-di added. Xu shook his head and looked at his two pals and smiled.

“Come on. Let’s make a move, or we’ll shock the entire school by being late. Then we’ll be on front covers. Hahaha.” Jay said to lightened the mood. The trio laughed and made their way to the gymnasium. Before they entered the gymnasium, the trio was stopped by a 1st year junior who wanted to talk to Xu.

“ You guys go ahead. I’ll be right behind you. Go on.” Xu told Jay and Lin-di. They left Xu at the entrance with the junior to talk. When they had left, Xu walked with the junior and took her aside so as to not block the entrance. Girls glanced enviously at the junior as they passed by.

“Er, you’re Kurakanna of 1st year class aren’t you?” Xu asked. The junior looked surprised and embarrassed that Xu had recognised her. “Is there anything that I can do for you? I‘m sorry but you‘re going to have to hurry a little. I‘m not fond of being late for class.”

“Enn. You can call me Kanna. Sorry to bother you senior. I just wanted to give you this.” Kanna handed Xu a piece of paper that had numbers on it. “That’s my phone number. Please call me when you are free.”

Xu took the piece of paper but he did not look too pleased with Kanna. Kanna could not look at Xu so she kept her head down and felt scared. Xu sighed and smiled at her. “Kanna.”

“Eh? Yes?” Kanna finally looked up and she was blushing. From a corner, Jay and Lin-di was peeping at what was going on. Jay smiled as he watched Kanna’s bravery from a distance. Lin-di was amazed at her courage.

“She’s amazing.” Lin-di and Jay both said together. They turned to face each other and let out a laugh.

“What do you think Xu will tell her? She looks very cute. Chinese you reckon Jay?” Lin-di asked Jay. Trying to figure out the junior.

“Nah.. She has to be Japanese. Her skin is far too white to be Chinese. But yeah, she does look very cute. Xu would be dumb to not take her number.” Jay replied.

“Kanna.. I appreciate your attention for me.. I noticed you looking at me since the first day you came into school. You leave gifts for me too in my locker I know. My schoolmates told me it was you. Thank you very much. That is very kind of you to do so.” Xu explained to Kanna. Kanna was embarrassed and looked away. “ But I really think that you shouldn’t waste your time on me. You should concentrate on your studies instead. I’ll be more proud of you if you were topping your class with excellent scores.”

Kanna looked up. She looked disappointed with Xu’s reply even after all those things she has done for him. “My friends and seniors told me that you wouldn’t entertain such things. I knew that you would reject the idea that I made a move.”

“Kanna. I think you are very brave to have come forward like this. Plus, you are cute too. But I really have no time for this. If you have been listening to people about me, than you must no why I say so too.” Xu reasoned.

“Enmm.. I do. But I have no regrets coming forward and doing this. I hope senior Xu would not take offence. If we cannot go out, than maybe we can be friends. Eh?” Kanna said. She still looked disappointed at the same wishfully hoping that Xu would give in.

Xu smiled and tapped Kanna’s head. “Kanna.. You are very silly. But I’ll accept your friendship. Thank you.” Xu told Kanna. “Please do not drop me gifts anymore.”

Kanna was disappointed at Xu’s refusal to accept her gifts. “Dakedo.. I don’t mind spending on you.” She looked as though she was about to cry.

“Kanna, if you regard me as your friend, please accept my request and stop sending those gifts. You can give me one on my birthday. Alright?” Xu comforted her. Kanna looked a little relaxed and nodded her head. “Well, I’d better be moving off than. Thank you Kanna. See you around.”

Xu turned around and walked away into class, smiling to himself. Lin-di and Jay rolled their eyes and waited for him to come in.

“That Xu.. He is really something isn’t he? Upsetting brave girls like that. If only I had as much attention as he does. Not that I don’t from Kahure but.. Still.. Wait till he gets here..” Lin-di said to Jay, cracking his knuckles. Jay could only chuckle to himself.

Xu walked towards them still smiling and holding the piece of paper in his hand. He was stopped by Lin-di who stood only inches apart from Xu. Xu was startled by Lin-di’s behaviour and asked what he was doing. .

“What am I doing?! What am I doing?! What are YOU trying to do.. That’s my question.” Lin-di said to Xu with a raised tone but Xu smiled. This made Lin-di more frustrated. “Argh! Here I am trying to get some senses into him and all he does is smile?! Xu! You are so detestable! That girl was cute AND… she gave her number to you! Why did you reject her?! What were you thinking of?!”

Xu turned his back towards Lin-di. He kept quiet for a moment. “Mei.” Lin-di’s frustrated expression faded and soften. “I was thinking of her. Kanna.. Reminds me of Mei. That’s all. I cannot give her what she wants.”

Jay stood up and walked towards the two. “That’s understandable. Even I couldn’t date my sister. Yucks. The thought of it.” Xu turned around to look at Jay and smiled. So did Lin-di. Then the trio laughed together. “Come on. Let’s warm up before Mr Hikumura gets here and beat us three to pulp.

Ding Dong Ding Dong, Ding Dong Ding Dong. The lunch bell rang and Mei immediately left the classroom. When Mei had left the room, Mr Cheng made an announcement to the whole class.

“ Minna chotto mate! The finals timetable is already up on the main campus notice board. Please check it out for your scheduled papers. The instructions has been posted there too. Have a nice day.” The classroom started buzzing with chattering and voices of student’s discussion about the finals.

Mei was frantically running towards Jingmei’s classroom only to find out that Jingmei also had left earlier. Mei panted as she walked around the school grounds looking for Jingmei. Mei remembered how worried Jingmei looked before they went to class because of what she did Cai Ye earlier. She felt guilty and wanted to explain to Jingmei that she was only trying to scare Cai Ye. If only Jingmei had not left her class earlier.

Mei was so tired she could hardly stand on her own that she had to sit. Mei dragged herself towards a giant Sakura tree where she and Jingmei usually have their lunch. Mei sat down and unpacked her lunch.

Forget it. She’ll show up later. Jingmei is always rushing for time. Perhaps she had some assignment or errand to do for a teacher or something. I’ll just have to talk to her later then.’ Mei thought to herself, eating her sandwich.

‘What right have I got to be mad at Xu? After all that he has done for me, after all the troubles I had put him through. What right have I got to trouble Xu? He has done everything for me. Protected me, loved me, cared for me even more than a mother or father would have.’ Mei said to herself. ‘I can never repay all of Xu’s kindness and love him the way he loves me. No one can ever love and care for me the way Xu can. No one.’

Mei stood up holding her crumpled lunch garbage. ‘Perhaps if mom and dad were still alive, Xu would be happier than he is right now. If only mom and dad was here..’

Mei recalled at the psychiatric hospital out of a sudden. Images of herself screaming, tossing and turning in her sleep flashed through her mind. She threw the blankets and pillows all over the room and yelled for Xu not to leave her. The doctors had a hard time trying to restrain her down to the bed to calm her down. Mei felt all the emotions all over again

Jingmei was approaching the field after coming to know that Mei was looking for her. She has to be at the field. Jingmei noticed that Mei’s gestures were weird and she was trying to steady herself as though she was drunk. ‘Mei? Why is Mei.. Oh No!! She’s having an attack!’ Jingmei paced up and starting running across the field of boys playing soccer. “MEI!!! MEI!! STOP! MEI!” Jingmei yelled trying to make her way through.
