In the Land of Fantaisie, Cupid Xiao Jie managed to sneak into the Tower of Commons at long last to carry out his plan. Reaching a certain floor, he flew his way past billions and billions of glistening diamond crystal filing cabinets to come to the right one. He quickly pulled open the top drawer and browsed through the many folders of sophomore cupids' annual achievement reports. His sharp eyes were a great advantage to help him speedily located the only one he needed. Taking out Ya Tou's folder and flipping it to see, he was abruptly astounded to find that it had turned into a thick sheet of solemn contract already sealed by the Senate. He hid it under his robe and teleported out of the area.
On this morning, Wang Zi woke up to the day after an eventful previous evening. All those lovely moments he had shared with Gui Gui still remained fresh in his heart and mind. By the bedside, there was placed a newly-drawn more accurate sketch of her which he had done the night before. Pushing aside the pillow, he sat up and studied his latest work. Following, he decided that he would change his mind of dropping out of that Art class after a number of promising attempts. He then kept the sketchpad back into the drawer and got out of bed to ready himself for school.
After spending some time in the bathroom, he ventured into the kitchen and aimed straight to the fridge. He smiled upon spotting the remaining slices of his birthday cake still in a container. Taking it out, he noticed there was an envelope of something stuck under the plastic container. Opening it, there was a $100 bill inside along with a piece of note. He read, "I said that I will help you out with your survey's draw, didn't I? Good Luck, Gui Gui..."
Wang Zi did not expect this from her in the least. He thought she was simply joking the other day. Yet, he admired the fact that she could be so earnest in such a pure-hearted way. Quickly stuffing the container of cakes into a bag, he figured that he should drop by to see her.
Later that day on his way to the school's campus, Wang Zi stopped by the book cleaning store in hope of meeting Gui Gui. Walking up to the door, he saw a 'Closed' sign hanging over the window. Cursing his luck, he tried to peer through to see if there was anyone inside. All lights were out and so he turned about to leave.
"Woah!!" The store owner standing quietly just right infront of him scared the wits out of Wang Zi.
He smiled, "Sorry to have frightened you, young man...I recognise you to be Gui Gui's...friend??"
Wang Zi nodded awkwardly, "Do you know if she will be coming by today??"
The man gave a brief thought before shaking his head, "She just told me that she will be going on vacation for at least a month...That's why I can't open the shop as often as before...Well, what about you, young man? Wanna consider working for me??"
"Huh?" Wang Zi was surprised. "I don't know if I can handle..."
He simply dismissed, "No worries, I'll train you! Just think about it, okay?" Taking out his keys, he walked over to unlock the door.
Wang Zi spend some moment pondering and then held up the bag of cakes he had brought along. Turning back to see the owner entering the shop, he rushed up to him and inquired, "Is she really not coming for sure? I have something here for her..."
Heeding Wang Zi's pleading, he flashed a lop-sided smile, "Good guts, you're a determined person...Here, I'll write down her address and phone number for you...I'm guessing that she hasn't left the country yet...haha...We should not give up on our pursuits that easily!"
"Thanks! You're very helpful..." Wang Zi expressed gratefully.
In a secluded gazebo, Xiao Jie has on the table over a hundred opened ancient scrolls and files just so in order to make out the meanings of the whole mysterious contract he founded earlier. However, even up till the end of the laborious day, he was only able to understand one harsh clear statement on the last page.
"One of the pair of sophomore cupids will be liable for a curse pronounced out of trespassing the River of Flurries for 41-and-2/3 Cupid days. Based on the outcome of an undisclosed judging procedure, this ultimate bearer of impending hardship is likely to be Cupid Ya Tou," Xiao Jie read with trembling hands. Once he beheld the seriousness of the tone highlighted by such heavy stolen secret, he quickly rolled up the contract. Moaning with guilt, he buried his face in his hands and felt as though he had just been stabbed deep by a double-edged sword. "Oh no, what shall I do now? How can the situation turn out to be this way??" He ought to better work out a remedy as fast as possible.
