Chapter 10: Forgive in the White Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas...

We wish you a Merry Christmas...

We wish you a Merry Christmas...

and a Happy New Year...

Zhen Ji sang along the way to Wu Cafe. Finally, she thought, after those business in my house, now I'm ready for my first day here. Well, if you could say in other words, I think we could say that," Zhen Ji started working in Wu Cafe."

In her maiden suit, she skipped and skipped around the snow. While singing the 'Merry Christmas' song, she went slowly but sure to Wu Cafe.

Finally, she reached there. As she opened the door, well, everyone looked at her in surprise, especially the twins." Oops..." She said," Am I late?" In this time, SSX came and said," No, it's holiday today. We're redecorating the cafe now." Zhen Ji sighed in relief. She ran through the cafe and ended up in the Christmas tree. Slowly, but beautifully, she hung the decorations there. Da Qiao, who currently was done with her job, went to Zhen Ji and asked," You work here?" Zhen Ji nodded.

A few moments later, Boss Quan appeared. He patted Zhen Ji's shoulder, which almost caused Zhen Ji to drop a breakable accessory for the tree. Zhen Ji looked behind and soon bowed for several times." Sorry, um, I, um... I was shocked..." Boss Quan smiled," Don't worry, Zhen Ji. I just wanted to say that I'm so happy to see you here. Hope we'll cooperate well." Zhen Ji nodded gladly. She spun and hung another one. Boss Quan stepped behind for a few steps, made his fingers shaped like a box, and aimed it to the tree." Hmm... Perfect! I'll only have to put a star on the top of it." Zhen Ji said," No problem. I'll get a ladder." Boss Quan warned her as she was going to get the ladder," Careful not to take the weak ladders. The tree is tall and if the ladder you take is weak, you'll be heavily injured." Zhen Ji replied," Ai, yi, Cap'n." She ran to get a ladder. Boss Quan smirked and muttered," Seems that this Christmas will walk smoothly."

The next day, when the girls walked back from school...

" Phew... The test is killing me!" SSX shouted.

" If only the world made cheating as an acceptable one..." Xiao Qiao sighed.

" Impossible, eh?" Diao Chan giggled.

" I-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e. That's right." Yue Ying moved her pointer left and right.

Suddenly, they noticed Zhu Rong staring at them angrily. Da Qiao sighed," I think Zhu Rong still didn't believe that Zhen Ji can change..."

" Everyone should be given a chance, but why..." Da Qiao continued her stopped words.

" I don't know, Da..." Xing Cai still gave Zhu Rong another glance," but she was very upset, I think..."

" I know! It's all my fault!" Yue Ying shrieked.

" Yue Ying... It's not you. It's us!" Xiao Qiao replied. Then, Zhen Ji suddenly felt a hit on her neck, made her fainted. They looked at her. Oh, she...

" Why, everyone? You think this little b***h can be your friends? Impossible!" Zhu Rong asked with rage, with her boomerang, which was the one hitting Zhen Ji.

" Zhu Rong, please! Zhen Ji really wants to change..." Diao Chan replied.

" Yeah! Give her a chance!" Xiao Qiao added.

" Grrr..." Zhu Rong clenched her teeth, made a growl. She went away, after a snort.

As Zhen Ji woke up, she found herself being in her own bedroom.

" Zhen Ji..." She heard her uncle's voice. Yes, her uncle. She woke up, looked around, and saw his worried face." Your friends sent you here. You were fainted just now." He said." Strange..." Zhen Ji muttered," I've never been fainted before."

Zhen Ji walked slowly, while holding her head, which suddenly turned dizzy. Then, slowly but sure, she tried to go to the kitchen to get some water, but she suddenly... Fainted, again...( Gee, I made Zhen Ji this weak? Nah, I actually don't want to, cause she's one of my favorite character.)

Meanwhile, in the living room...

" Zhen Ji," Xiao Qiao sighed," her tounge really brought her a bad luck."

" Yes, siree. I agree that so." SSX nodded, while sitting on a sofa like a boy.

" But Zhu Rong didn't want to say sorry to her? That's a bit...hurting." Da Qiao sighed.

" Don't say anything about it again!" Yue Ying covered her ears with her two hands," I can't stand it!"

" Yue Ying, this is fact." Xing Cai patted Yue Ying's shoulder, hoping Yue Ying wouldn't weep.

Diao Chan sighed." If only we had a way to make her and Zhen Ji together..."

" If only Meng Huo didn't leave, he would help us." Da Qiao continued," He's close to Zhu Rong and..."

" That's it!" SSX snapped." Anyone has Meng Huo's e-mail?" (Okay, Meng Huo's shown up again ;))

" Nah, Zhen Ji did." Xing Cai shook her head," I knew she'll have his e-mail, since they were close friends."

" Great! Now we'll wait Zhen Ji to wake up, then we'll..." SSX was going to say more about her plan when...

RING! RING! Diao Chan's mobile phone rang with the ringtone of "Seikan Hikou"( just a bit promotion. I love this song, y'see?). Diao Chan picked up the phone and it's... Meng Huo!

Meng Huo: Hi, Zhu Rong!

Diao Chan: Sorry, Meng Huo. This is Diao Chan.

Meng Huo: Oh, wrong number, eh?

Diao Chan: I think so.

Meng Huo: Where's Zhen Ji? May I talk to her?

Diao Chan: Oh, she's sick, I think.

Meng Huo: Oh, poor her. I wish she will get well soon.

Diao Chan: Meng Huo, may I ask something about Zhu Rong?

Meng Huo: Sure. Why?

Diao Chan: Zhen Ji's tounge made an accident again, and now Zhu Rong left her.

Meng Huo: Hahahaha...

Diao Chan: Huh?

Meng Huo: Haha... Both of them... They're very contrast, but same rude. They could have their tounge fighting, I think. Zhu Rong's tounge is not as sharp as Zhen Ji's, but she's wild, and didn't like to care much. Childish, as you can say. Sigh...

Diao Chan: What's wrong?

Meng Huo: I bet, it will be difficult to change her mind. She should be so bad-tempered. Well, I'll try to search her phone number. And, if Zhen Ji's recovered, may you ask her to phone me back?

Diao Chan: Why not? She'll be glad.

Meng Huo: Well, I'll try to call her now. Bye!

Diao Chan: Bye!

As the phone hung up, Diao Chan stood up and asked the six girls," Let's see Meng Huo's reaction, then think another step." And... RING! This time is Yue Ying's. She picked up and... Meng Huo again." Sorry, wrong number again. Bye!" Meng Huo said. Yue Ying hung the phone and... It kept happening till, after 10 times..." Meng Huo," Xing Cai said in the phone," Let me give you her number. I think you didn't get it, or you forgot it." She hung up the phone, and typed an SMS to him, containing the phone number. Then, there's no more nuisance from Meng Huo.

The next day...

" Zhen Ji didn't come, huh?" Yue Ying asked.

" Poor her, she must be so depressed, or..." Diao Chan nodded.

" I think you are right, Diao Chan. Zhen Ji's seldom being sick." SSX said," Well, I think I'll get her a visit."

" Me, too." The other six shouted. SSX grinned for a bit while, without any of them realizing that someone overheard their conversation. It's Zhu Rong!" What? So she's sick? Hmm... Interesting." She thought, with an evil grin.

Well, the next afternoon, you could see Zhu Rong standing in front of Zhen Ji's house. She sneaked in, since the door was not locked. She walked slowly, slowly, and sneaked away from Zhen Ji's aunt. She didn't worry much about her uncle - he was working. She ran quickly but lightly to Zhen Ji's room. As she reached there, she closed the door slowly, her boomerang's on ready, she crept slowly to Zhen Ji, who was sleeping. As she was near to her, she slowly raised her boomerang, while saying to her heart that Zhen Ji's life was over. It almost succeeded, till she heard a loud shout," Zhen Ji! We're coming!"

" Damn..." Zhu Rong thought," I must run away!" She noticed the window and jumped out from it. She walked through the 'roof' and jumped, like a ninja. She didn't hurt, though. She quickly ran away, quick...quick...

She ran away, and soon she heard her mobile phone rang. She picked it up. As she knew it was Meng Huo, she was actually relieved, but after a series of conversation, she hung up the phone, with her eyes wet. She ran and ran to her house, and found... Her mom?

" Zhu Rong... What happened?" Her mom asked. Zhu Rong told everything.

" Well, you'd better forgive her. She wanted to change, so why not giving her a chance?" Zhu Rong grumbled again, and again. It's not fair, she thought, why did everyone think Zhen Ji's right? No, I can't...

A few days later, Christmas eve...

Zhu Rong walked slowly, thinking about her mom's saying and Meng Huo's. She walked and entered a church. She sat on one of the chairs, without even realizing where she was. She soon realized it when she heard the choir, singing "Silent Night" in a great voice. Then, a voice was heard." Excuse me, may I sit here?" Zhu Rong looked at the person, who made that voice. It's an old woman. She let her to sit beside her.

A few moments later, Zhu Rong let out a sigh. The old woman looked at Zhu Rong thoughtfully. She said," You know, you reminded me of my daughter. She had problems when she was small, like you. Especially about making friends."

" Yeah. I had a friend. She got a sharp tounge. Once, she scolded my friend till she cried. I hated her a lot! She's ever apologized, but... I can't let..."

" And my daughter had the same problem before." The old woman made a little chuckle.

" Whatever it is... As she asked your apology, believe that she really wanted to change. I knew, since she really wanted to change, she would try her best not to make things happened again. She would need your help, too. As a friend, why shall you bother if she needs only a little help to change her to a good one?"

" I understand. I know what to do now." Zhu Rong smiled. She hugged the old woman, and said," Thank you" to her. She left the church, leaving the old woman with a grin, a warm and friendly grin.

Zhu Rong ran to find Zhen Ji, but as she reached her house, she finally knew that Zhen Ji wasn't there!" She went to Wu Cafe." Her uncle said.

Zhu Rong ran to Wu Cafe till she found a girl in a dark brown jacket, walking in the snow. She ran to her and asked," Are you all right? May I help?" She couldn't see her face clearly, which was covered by a part of the jacket.

The girl asked in confuse," Zhu... Zhu Rong?" Zhu Rong shuddered when she mentioned her name." You..." Zhu Rong pointed at the girl." Z... Zhen Ji?" She asked.

The girl took off the "part of the jacket" which covered her face, and soon, in Zhu Rong's surprise, it's really Zhen Ji, but her eyes seemed wet, of something.

" Zhen Ji..." Zhu Rong looked at her thoughtfully, being glad to see her.

" Zhu Rong, I knew you are mad, but..." Zhen Ji tried to explain everything in her heart. Zhu Rong cut the words and said," Don't worry, I've already forgotten those things. I forgive you, Zhen Ji." Zhen Ji's eyes grew wetter than that time. Zhu Rong felt that she was going to cry, too, but she didn't. She smiled and said," Wipe it off, Zhen Ji. This is not a sad event at all." Zhen Ji then asked nervously," Zhu Rong..."

" Hmm?" Zhu Rong asked.

" May I ask you a favor?" Zhen Ji asked.

" Sure, whatever you want." Zhu Rong replied.

" I wish... I wish you could help me to get my sharp tounge no longer be sharp. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings again." Zhen Ji replied.

" Okay. I know everyone will, too! But, remember... I'll get myself being hot for that." Zhu Rong nodded.

" Oh, really?" Zhen Ji asked, pretending that she was still like her current self.

" Aw, Zhen Ji..." Zhu Rong patted her shoulder hard.

" Come on, heading to Wu Cafe!" Zhu Rong shouted." We'll get some mocca."

" Why not? Even free one since I worked there." Zhen Ji smiled. Both of them walked merrily to Wu Cafe, and their fight ended...

Okay, it's all ended. One thing's for sure, once again, Merry Christmas 2010 and Happy New Year 2011! God bless you!( Though I'm Buddhist, not Christian.)

And, please review! And stay tune! Bye! \(^o^)/
