CHAPTER 1: GRAVITY

I finally understand
The lonesome feelings during those lonely nights
Are because you aren't near
So I'm willing to stand in the rain to wait for you
You are the one that rekindled the love that I don't even understand

I'm not an expert on happiness, this type of thing
But I really do want to take everything you want
And put them in your hands

Jerry Yan - Gravity

It was quite a while before Dao Ming Si and San Cai realized that they should probably go back to their awaiting hotel room. Dao Ming Si and San Cai enjoyed an evening in each others' arms, staring up at the sky to watch for a meteor shower.

So this is how it feels like to be in Dao Ming Si's arms. San Cai had long forgotten the comfort of Dao Ming Si's warm embrace.

San Cai had already called her travel agency to tell them that she wanted to take three weeks off from work. You could almost see the amount of adoration between the couple as Dao Ming Si and San Cai walked hand in hand back to the hotel. Dao Ming Si immediately recognized their room to be the one that they had stayed in before, during their first trip together to Barcelona.

"Wait here, San Cai. Don't be a pig head! Don't move" Said Dao Ming Si, as he quickly ran out of the room.

Out on the streets, Dao Ming Si runs around looking for a balloon vendor. He wanted everything to be as it was before, but the balloons representing his own happiness were missing! Frantic to hurry back to San Cai, Dao Ming Si finally finds a balloon vendor and buys all of the balloons. Panting hard, Dao Ming Si rushes into the hotel room to find San Cai missing.

"San Cai, where are you? No need for pig-headed jokes! Come out, San Cai! Aiyo! I told you to stay here and wait for me!" Letting the balloons float up to the ceiling, Dao Ming Si goes out in search for San Cai.

Meanwhile, San Cai is staring out unhappily at the night scene of Barcelona on the rooftop of the hotel. There is something bothering her on her mind.

I finally have my wish today, after the whole summer of searching for this Dao Ming Si. I should feel so happy, right? Aiyo! San Cai, make up your mind. Now that you have it, is this what you really want? You have to decide…have to decide..

"San Cai, stupid woman! Why did you leave? You will catch a cold up here, stupid."

Startled by Dao Ming Si's voice, San Cai quickly pushes her thoughts away. Grabbing San Cai by the arm, Dao Ming Si starts pulling her back to their hotel room.

"Eh, San Cai, hurry up! I have a surprise for you in the room" says an excited Dao Ming Si. San Cai can't help but to smile at Dao Ming Si's enthusiasm.

"Hi, I am your Chauffer Mei Zuo. Did I make you wait?"

Xiao Qiao smiles fondly at Mei Zuo.

"Aiyo, Mei Zuo! Why are you wearing such a silly hat? Making bystanders think I am dating you, this weird person!" This fellow, look at him! So cute!

Pretending to look hurt, Mei Zuo opens the door for Xiao Qiao to get inside the car. "You don't like my chauffer hat? Eh, who cares about what other people think of me? Just as long as you are happy, I don't mind."

"Where do you want to go today, Miss Xiao Qiao?"

"Let's go to the beach for a walk! Just like before."

"Oh, okay. To the beach, Miss Xiao Qiao" says a smiling Mei Zuo, before putting his keys in the ignition to start the car.

A restless San Cai keeps tossing and turning in the hotel room bed. She finally gives up trying to sleep and sits up straight, staring at the balloons in the room. She turns to look at Dao Ming Si sleeping on the sofa, just like the old times.

Why does he want to sleep on the uncomfortable sofa? Stupid pig head. So pitiful! But I still love him, no? How to know which one I love more? Big stupid pig head? Or small stupid pig head? Aiyo! So complicated!

Confused, San Cai decides to take another walk since Dao Ming Si is already sleeping soundly. She goes back to the hotel's roof top and looks up at the starry Barcelona sky. Ahh, such freedom!

"It's closing time now, sir" says a bartender to Lei. "Do we need to call for a car to pick you up?"

"Orh. No need. I can get home by myself. I am not that drunk anyways."

Standing up, Lei staggers out of the pub. The people walking on the sidewalk hurry pass Lei, bumping into him. Lei finally cannot stand anymore and sits on the street curb. He stares blindly in front of him for a while, before taking out his cell phone to punch numbers in.

Should I really call her? Tell her about my true feelings? Aiyo! What am I thinking? I cannot ruin the relationship between Dao Ming Si and San Cai any more than I already have. Besides, the one San Cai loves is not me. There is only Dao Ming Si in her heart. I can only be a comforting friend.

Sighing, Lei stops dialing and just sits there while staring at his phone.

It is already dawn and San Cai hasn't moved from the ledge of the rooftop. She hasn't slept all night and seems to still be mesmerized in her own thoughts. Realizing that she must get back to the room before Dao Ming Si wakes up, San Cai runs quickly back down the stairs leading to the rooftop.

Dao Ming Si is yawning and sleepily rubbing his eyes. Seeing that San Cai is missing again, he looks a little bit annoyed. He is getting up off of the sofa just as San Cai comes barging into the room.

"Aiyo! Where were you, San Cai? You are always making me so worried for you."

Holding out the two breakfast trays in her hands to show Dao Ming Si, San Cai doesn't say a word. Instead, she just sets up a little makeshift table for eating on top of the bed. Why does he always expects me to be where he wants me to? No freedom…but he is just caring for me by worrying, no?

"Hurry up and eat, stupid. I don't tell you to be worried for me, and you are still worried? Pig head. Eat quickly! You still have to take me sightseeing around Barcelona!" Upon hearing this, Dao Ming Si immediately starts stuffing food inside his mouth.

Watching Dao Ming Si ferociously eat, San Cai thinks to herself, The pig head eating in front of me like this, maybe I was meant to be together with him all along. I have realized that Lei is just someone that helps keep me so down-to-earth. Lei is my gravity, pulling me back down and keeping my mind in place. From early on, I knew that we could only be friends, no?
