A/N: This is the second chapter. I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I wanted to continue Xiao You and Xi Men's story because there wasn't much mention of it in Meteor Garden II.

Comments are always appreciated…so tell me what you think! (:

CHAPTER 2: BROKEN VOW

Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

Lara Fabian – Broken Vow

An anxious Xiao You is standing in front of the Taipei Airport as if looking for someone. Finally, as if seeing who she was looking for, Xiao You runs over to a silver Mercedes while dragging her luggage along.

"Eh, why are you so late? This is the first time that I come back to Taipei from Canada and you don't even pick me up on time?"

The driver of the Mercedes climbs out of the car to open the door for Xiao You with an apologetic look on his face.

"You just call me this morning and expect to me to pick you up? Aiyo! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming back today?" Taking Xiao You's luggage, the driver then proceeds to put everything in the trunk.

"Xi Men, I was just playing around with you. I actually didn't have to wait for that long. Anyways, I wanted to surprise you by waiting until today to tell you that I was coming. Don't be mad."

Smiling to herself, Xiao You observes Xi Men while he is putting her belongings in the trunk. Xi Men, that fellow. Still so handsome and nice. Maybe even more handsome than the last time I saw him. I thought that the distance between us would help me to forget the love I felt for him in the past…

"Remember the last time we shared a strawberry cake sitting in this very place?" San Cai questions Dao Ming Si, while putting a piece of cake in his mouth.

Eating the piece of cake from San Cai, Dao Ming Si smiles with a dreamy look in his eyes. He can recall that day very clearly. San Cai and himself were sharing a slice of strawberry cake just like they were now.

"Aiyo! How come you don't answer me? Don't you remember? You still owe me a strawberry, stupid! When are you going to give me back my strawberry? Eh?"

"San Cai, of course I remember! What do you think I am, a stupid fool?" Looking at the plate in front of them, Dao Ming Si realizes that there were no more strawberries on the cake. He quickly stands up and asks the waiter if he can order a single strawberry.

"I am sorry, sir, but all of our strawberries have already been put on top of our readymade cakes."

"Then I will take pay for one more piece of cake. But I just want the strawberry, so you can eat the cake during your break time" came Dao Ming Si's swift reply.

"I can't do that, sir! You pay for the cake, you eat the cake! I can't eat the cake for you. That isn't right."

Amused, San Cai merely watches the scene that is unfolding between Dao Ming Si and the waiter. "Eh, Ah Si, you don't have to give me my strawberry back right now."

"But I want to" whines Dao Ming Si.

Aiyo! Look at that stubborn fellow. Just like a little dog. But he is still my Dao Ming Si. Smiling at her own thoughts, San Cai apologizes to the waiter for Dao Mind Si's persistent and childish behavior.

Inside a high-class restaurant, Xi Men and Xiao You are sitting by themselves in a separate room, across from each other.

"Xi Men master, Is there anything else I can get for you?" asks a waiter.

"No thank you, we're just fine" replies Xi Men. Turning to face Xiao You, he says "Xiao You, I haven't seen you in such a long time, but that doesn't mean that I don't think of you all of the time."

"Eh, Xi Men, there's no need to say such things. You are still like before. So flirtatious! You still haven't told me how San Cai and Dao Ming Si are doing. Are they finally happily together?"

"San Cai and Dao Ming Si? Those too are inseparable. They are so sickening to watch. That's why all of us F3 are glad that they are together in Barcelona right now" answers Xi Men while flashing a smile at Xiao You. "So, how was Canada?"

"Canada was great! There are so many mountains giving you a sense of freedom. How are things here in Taiwan for you, Xi Men?"

Xi Men's smiling expression suddenly flees from his face and he turns his interest to the almost empty plate in front of him. "Xiao You. Didn't anyone tell you? I am engaged to be married next month."

Completely taking aback by the words that just came out of Xi Men's mouth, Xiao You is speechless. "Huh? B-but…" she lets her quivering voice trail off.

"Xiao You, I said that I am getting married next month. You know that the feeling between you and me, it cannot progress."

How can it be like this? I thought that he would wait for me forever? Have I failed in not being able to change his playboy ways? I love him. Didn't he love me? Maybe he never loved me in the first place and I was just fooling myself.

"Listen to me Xiao You, I am sorry, okay? I have to go to a meeting now, if you will please excuse me. If you need me for anything, you can just call me, okay?" Getting up to leave, Xi Men does not know what else to say to Xiao You. Xi Men knows that Xiao You still had special feelings for him, and he can only try to comfort her by patting her arm as he walked away.

Not believing what she had just heard, Xiao You just sits in her chair like a statue. Then, she unconsciously touches her arm where Xi Men patted it.

Who is this girl that Xi Men is going to marry? He didn't even tell me her name…I don't know who she is. But whoever she is, Is she really better than me?

Xiao You continues to sit with one hand on her arm while a single lonely tear makes its way down her face, leaving behind a wet trail.

A/N: I really hope you liked reading this chapter. Sorry about it being so short; I just wanted to set up a certain scene and somehow bring Xiao You back into the picture.
