Then the moment he opened the door, he saw a delivery boy holding a parcel in his hands and said to him, "Sir, it's a parcel to Zhao Shiza."
And I heard that from outside the door. I quickly stood up from the couch and went to the door and said to the delivery boy that yes, it's mine, and I signed it and took the parcel in my hands.
Yuan looked at me very shockingly and said, "Did what you have ordered just now come this fast?" he asked me.
I closed the door and sat on the couch while holding the parcel in my hand and looked at him and smiled and said, "No no, it's not that."
"So what's that?" he asked me.
I started opening the parcel while he came towards me and sat beside me and then he looked at the parcel very curiously. I saw his face and said, "Yuan, you don't need to see the parcel like this curiously," I said to him.
"Of course I have to, I need to see what mysterious thing my girlfriend purchased."
I smiled hearing that from him. Hearing him calling me his girlfriend is the best song I have ever heard till now in my life. Then I finally completed the unpacking of the parcel and opened it.
"Surprise," I said while showing the case of a movie.
He looked at me, really looked at me, and asked me, "Zhao Shiza, we are living in the twenty-first century and you are showing me the movie cassette? Are we going to watch this movie?" he asked me.
I hit his arm slightly and said, "Yuan, you are really too much. Can't you see it's not a cassette? It's a game, not a movie," I said.
"Game? What game?" he asked me.
I smiled mischievously and said, "See, this is the most horror trending game in the whole China nowadays. I have ordered it from past two months. Look, I am really not fond of games soo much, but this game is a horror game and I love horror and I have pre-booked this game. Then after almost two months later I received it, and tonight we both are gonna play it," I said to him.
"Is this game a board game or video game type?" he asked me.
"A board game," I replied.
"Then how does the board get packed like this in a box? I mean it's more looking like a book," he said.
"Ooo Yuan, you are soo silly too just like me. You are literally getting your girlfriend's habits as well. See, this is the foldable board game and you know what Yuan," I said.
"What?" he asked me.
"The person who invented this game said that it was his real life experiences that he put into this game and you know what, its market value gets soo high that all the other games, infact even the video games also get their sales very lesser due to the launching of this game and the whole youth of China is mad over this game soo now we also—"
Before I could say anything more, he took the box of the game from my hand and said, "We are not playing it."
"What? What did you just say Yuan?" I asked him a little shockingly.
"Yes, you heard it right. We are not playing it," he said.
"But why?" I asked him.
Then he showed me the box of the game and said, "Read yourself what's written on it."
"Yuan, what's this?" I said.
"No, read it first then only you'll know it," he said.
I rolled my eyes and read what was written on the box of this game where Yuan landed his finger and it was written that kids are not advised to play this game.
"See, now got it," he said.
"Who is the kid here?" I asked him while folding both my hands.
"Don't you know? Do I really need to answer this question?" he said.
I nodded my head and said, "Yes, give me answer. I think you are the one who is kid over here, that's why you are not letting me play it."
He laughed a little and said, "Even the things in my house know who is the kid," and then he touched my cheek with his one finger and said, "My tiny little silly girlfriend is the kid."
I rolled my eyes again and said, "Ooo really Yuan, I am the adult one."
"Yes of course you are adult but not in my eyes, cause I know that deep inside how much childish you are, you silly girl," and he tapped my head while saying it.
"Yuan stop teasing me, I really do wanna play this game very badly. See everyone gets distracted because of this game," I said.
"And I want that my girlfriend can only get distracted by me, not by some lousy games like this," he said.
"Yuan I am asking you to play this game with me, after all I am playing it with you only soo what's the reason behind saying no to it?" I asked him.
He looked at me and came a little closer to me and said while looking into my eyes, "Your Mr heart is soo gentle and sensitive. I don't want it to get burdened on itself because of this lousy game," he said.
"Yuan, first stop calling it a lousy game," I said.
"Hmm ok, but why it seems like that you have invented this game? That's why when I say it lousy game you got angry," he said.
"It's not that, I mean I don't know, just please play it with me tonight, it will really gonna be fun, please please Yuan," I said in the most pleading tone that I was able to make to melt him and started shaking his hands like a kid.
He looked away from me then looked back at me and said, "Stop making these puppy eyes and this innocent face."
"I am not, trust me, but if you are feeling that soo then please don't let these puppy eyes change into teary eyes and don't let this innocent face get changed into the upset face," I said while still shaking his hands.
He smiled a little and said, "You are not gonna listen to me."
I shook my head and said, "I am listening to you."
"Ok fine, we'll play it tonight but whenever I feel that this game is not good for you, I'll ask you to stop it right away and you have to. Soo if you are going to agree to this condition then only I'll let you play it."
I took five seconds to think over it and then I looked up at him and said, "Ok I agree to your condition but if you ask me to stop it on very first level then I won't do that," I said.
"Ok done," he said.
Then finally the night arrived and I sat on the couch in the living room fully prepared to start the game. He came and sat beside me while holding the box of the game.
"Yuan what are you waiting for? Open it and start the game," I said to him.
He nodded his head and said, "Ok, but remember my condition, do you?"
"Yes of course I do," I said.
Then he placed the box of the game on the table and slowly opened it. He took out the board and placed it on the table.
The board was nothing ordinary. Infact, the board was black in colour and there was a star drawn in the middle of it. There were two points on the board from where we needed to start by pressing the button on the board and when I pressed that button then the point started moving automatically and then a card came out of the box.
Very excitedly I took that card in my hand and read it and it was written on it "Find me."
"Find me?" I repeated it again. "But what should I need to find? It didn't even tell me that what should I need to find. It's soo much lousy game, I don't wanna play it," I said while getting frustrated from the game and then I threw the card which I received and by myself only I packed the game back into its box.
Yuan was smiling while looking at me.
I noticed that and said, "Yuan I know you are very happy cause what happens is what you wanted to happen," I said.
"What happens?" he asked me.
"This, I am myself only closing this game," I said.
"It's totally your choice. In the afternoon you were the one who was saying to me that I should stop calling it a lousy game and look at you now, you are the one who is saying it lousy game at night," he said.
"Yuan I got tricked by its rating, it has nothing to do with me. This game was soo much trending in the whole China and I didn't even get it that the youth is that stupid that it's going mad over such a lousy game like this. I have never imagined it ever, the youth is in danger," I said.
He laughed hearing this and patted my head and said, "Soo now if you are done with this game finally then I am going to put the dinner on the table," he said.
"Dinner? When did you make it?" I asked him.
He smiled and said, "When my girlfriend got distracted by this game."
"Ooo really, it was like that," I said.
"Yes it was like that only," he said.
"What did you make for dinner?" I asked him.
"Curry and rice," he said.
"Ok then I'll come with you in the kitchen and help you to put it on the table," I said and stood up from the couch but he held my hand suddenly and said, "No, you don't need to. You just sit here and wait for me."
"But why? I really wanna help you," I said.
"Waiting for me here is the biggest help you'll do to me," he said.
"How?" I asked him.
He smiled and came a bit closer to my ears and said, "Didn't I tell you this before?"
My Mr heart's beat really became a little too fast hearing that from him and then I gathered the little courage left inside me to ask him, "What?"
He smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you having you in the kitchen is very dangerous thing to me," he said.
"Why? I never did anything wrong there, even I didn't mess up there, then why?" I asked him.
He smiled and tucked the strand of my hair behind my ear and said, "There is nothing to do with you in that. It's me who got soo much affected by your presence that I get distracted very badly there and I might—"
"You might what?" I asked him.
He was about to say something but then like always he stopped himself and said, "Leave it, it's nothing," and went straight into the kitchen leaving me confused like he always does.
He was about to say something but he didn't say it. But I really don't know why he stopped himself. But if he didn't tell me this then definitely one day he'll tell me whenever he feels to, I said to myself.
Then I sat on the chair of the dining table waiting for him and started swaying my legs while waiting for him and then he arrived taking two bowls in his hands and then he put them right in front of me and then gave me the chopsticks in my hand after cleaning them.
And when he did it, I still remembered that it was always done by my paa. He always did that since I was little. He always cleaned the chopsticks for me before giving them to me and now I see my Yuan doing the same thing. Is he similar to my paa? I asked myself this question.
"Eat, what are you waiting for? My cooking is not bad, you can eat it," he said.
I laughed a little and said, "Yuan I know you are a wonderful chef, you don't need to say this to me. I totally trust your cooking skills, I always do, even when I didn't taste your cooking," I said.
"Ooo god, I have forgotten it completely that right now in front of me my fangirl is sitting," he said.
I smiled and like this our chaotic day finally ended with few light arguments, teasing, and with a lot of our eternal love which grows even stronger than before more and more. Now I am completely captivated by you Mr Xu Yuan and now there is no way back for me, no way, I said...
