The New F4 Chapter 17 – Guessing Games
Everyone stood up in shock. Their jaws hanging open.
As the beautiful young lady approached closer they can see her in better detail. She was of medium height about 5'8. Hair dark and silken, so shiny it seems to reflect the stars overhead. She had a heart shaped face, with a porcelain complexion. Not a blemish on her face. Eyes bright, with intelligence and humor. She had a cute button nose with a delicate mouth and perfect teeth, displayed in a radiant smile. She was dressed casually and had a knapsack slung over her shoulder, a rolled up tube of paper sticking out of it.
"Oh heavens! She's beautiful!" thought San Tsai. She glanced to the side at her companions. F4 were staring at her jaws agape, drooling. She slapped Dao Ming Si in the back of the head. Xiao Qiao nudged Mei Zhou. Xi Men was unconsciously fixing his hair tidying himself up, standing a bit straighter.
But Qing He had a frown on his face.
Mimi noticing this asked him, "Qing He Senior, why do you have a frown on your face?"
"Mimi, you can just call me Qing He from now on. I was just thinking. Doesn't she look familiar to you?" he asks Mimi.
Mimi straightens her back and said formally "Mimi Junior dare not call Qing He Senior otherwise!" then she whispers to him "We have to keep up appearances!"
Qing He gives her a blank look wondering what she is talking about.
"Now that Qing He Senior has made this observation, she does appear familiar!" and has a puzzled expression on her face.
'False X' gestured to the young lady to take the place where he was standing. She nodded graciously to him. He stepped behind her standing at formal attention with his hands crossed in front of him.
She faced everyone and smiled.
"Please! Be seated!" she said in a clear melodic voice gesturing for them to sit down.
"X?" asked a totally discombobulated Wong Tin Ma. But something is bothering Wong Tin Ma.
This young lady looks familiar somehow. He just can't place her anywhere.
She nods yes to his question.
"Are you a student here at Ying De? You look somehow familiar, yet I cannot remember you at all in school." Asked Tin Ma. Then he turns to his companions.
"Any of you seen her before?"
Mok Po Le is silent.
"I don't think I will ever forget someone like that if I have seen her!" breathed a bedazzled Lin Wai.
"Yes, I am a student at Ying De. A senior in fact!" When she said this there was a mischievous glint that came into her eyes.
"Senior? Impossible! I know all the senior students!" exclaimed Wong Tin Ma.
F4 were talking also.
"She's a senior? I don't remember any junior like her when we were there. " Said Xi Men looking at Dao Ming Si who is shaking his head
"I would definitely know her!" said Mei Zhou, earning another warning nudge from Xiao Qiao.
Hua Ze Lei is quiet, looking intensely at her, studying the young lady.
Qing He pondering just muttered absent mindedly, "Perhaps she's a transfer student!"
Mei Zhou and Xi Men clapped him on the shoulders for such a good idea and said so.
Qing He wondered what he just said.
"Qing He Junior is correct on that." Said the mysterious young lady.
Mimi is beaming at Qing He.
"Except that I transferred to Ying De as a sophomore."
This also drew blanks from F4 who would be juniors at that time.
"3 years here? Impossible! How come no one here has ever seen you before? But still you look so strangely familiar!" Wong Tin Ma said more puzzled than ever. "What is your name?"
The young lady smiles at Wong Tin Ma, "You know my name."
This stunned Wong Tin Ma and his companions. Everyone is now looking at him expecting an answer.
"Miss. I said you looked familiar but that doesn't mean I know you, because if I did then I would remember you!" said an exasperated Wong Tin Ma.
"Perhaps this will help." She reaches into her pocket then tosses something to Wong Tin Ma who snatched it out of the air.
It was a Beanie Baby Pegasus.
Wong Tin Ma stared at it for a long time. Face pale with shock.
When he looked up everyone was surprised to see tears running down his face. His next reaction shocks them. He then literally leaped down the 5 rows of seats he was sitting up from. Running then grabbing the girl in a fierce hug, howling.
Everyone jump from their seats in alarm. Except for Hua Ze Lei who noticed that the 'false X' standing behind the young lady did not react at all in alarm or surprise, in fact he seemed to be expecting it, he's smiling.
But everyone else calmed down when they saw Wong Tin Ma was just hugging her and she was returning his hug equally as fierce.
Lin Wai's mouth is hanging open. Mok Po Le's eyebrows are arched, indicating surprise for him.
Everyone is thinking, "What is going on?"
