*Lei*
I was taking care of Shan Cai ever since her bandages came off her eyes. She has been smiling ever since they were removed. I couldn't be more happier. I asked Shan Cai to go on a vacation with me. She agreed happily. My only problem, was my father. He would never let me go... how could I leave Japan without him knowing... I was stuck...
The door opened suddenly, and my parents stepped in. My eyes widened when I saw me father. No... no... don't let him take my Shan Cai from me... I looked at my mother, hoping she'd stop him. My mother looked at me with an "it's-okay" look. I looked back at my father and prepared myself for whatever he was planning. "Father, do you need anything? Do you need me to return to the company?" I asked scared. I was afraid... I didn't want my father to know about Shan Cai... I would rather hide my Shan Cai from him than for him to hurt her.
"No son, right now, I don't need you to come back. I'm here to visit this woman who has captured your heart. Your mother was telling me abou ther."
"Father... I... I would like to go on a vacation... with Shan Cai..." I was nervous... my whole life, I've been afraid of him. But I know I had to be brave in front of him, I will overcome my fear of him.
"A vacation? Now? Lei, you can wait a while can't you? he said to me. I could feel his eyes piercing through me. I didn't feel like arguing with him in front of Shan Cai... so I just agreed. I guess I could wait... "Good, there is still plenty of work for you to do." My father turned to Shan Cai and looked at her. He smiled a little to her. "I am Hua Zhe Cheng, Lei's father, as you can see. What is your name?"
Shan Cai looked at little scared, but bravely introduced herself. "Wo shi Mu Y Shan Cai. It's very nice to mee you sir."
"It's nice to mee you Shan Cai. Hua Zhe Mei has told me you captured my son's heart?" Shan Cai blushed at his comment. But it was true. I was happy that my father wasn't objecting to my love affairs. I looked at my mother and smiled at her. I silently thanked her, for making father understand. "Lei, take fifteen minutes here, then we need to head back, okay?" My father left the room a few minutes later.
"I'll see you later Lei. Please don't be late." my mother left the room after my father, leaving Shan Cai and I alone. I looked at Shan Cai and then sat down on the chair next to her.
"Your father is nice..." I heard Shan Cai.
"Yeah... amazingly..."
"I'm guessing you and your father don't have a very good relationship?"
"No, not really..." I paused and looked at her, "ready to go home?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
