Chapter 2 of From One Man To Another, Escape the wedding!
I may be a friend with few of the maids in the Zhen mansion, and one of them has their own "word of the day" thing. Mine, today would be DREADFUL. Tomorrow is DOOMED. If more than one word, DOOMED FOR LIFE. I absolutely have no interest in Yuan Xi, yet in 48 hours, I am to be wed to him, a son that may seem to bring honor in his name, but in the reality he is just a shame. He can get defeated easily, his manners are quite untamable and I just know I'm being used for pleasure.
Ugh, here I go again. It's like a dreadful cycle. It might seem weird but I'm not able to control it. First, I go on how it seems at least pretty decent. Then I seem to blab about how it can never be good. It seems, I am in a confusing hurricane of angst. Or the woman's "monthly cycle" might be part to blame as well.
Ugh, I need a martini right now…. hmm…Or, I could just try to escape the wedding…
What interrupted my thoughts, just now Yuan Xi came barging in my room…Idiot…
"WHAT IS IT, FOOL!" "Oh, my love! Please don't cry! I'll wash my bloody hands and-erm,….." Yuan Xi started crying hysterically as he scuttled over to his wife-to-be.
He took her hands in his and started to speak, "My love-my father's enemy Cao Cao just sent a letter to his childhood friend-father. Cao Cao has already started to prepare his men upto Guan Du where we are going to fight…why are we fighting Cao Cao?". …That buffoon. He's asking me who has no idea. "…" "You have nothing to say?" He inquired. "No. Get out. Now." I said while pulling my hands away.
He just stood there, looking pathetic. I can't believe people think that works.
AGH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! So, I screamed "AGH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" and jumped out of the window that was two feet away. But, unfortunately Yuan Xi had brainpowers and brought me back in the room…. Sniffle.
"Yuan Xi, I hate you." I said. He didn't seem to notice. So, he smiled and said "PREPARE FOR BATTLE, MY LOVE!" And pulled out his hairbrush, swung it around like a sword and ran out of my room. What he was doing with a hairbrush, I don't know.
Before I could relax, I heard a knock at my door. UGH! "GO AWAY!" After yelling, I heard then a sound of feminine sobbing. Oh. The men I can't tolerate right now but…meh.
I cautiously walked to the door. Hey, you never know. Frustratingly, it was the fruit of the whole Dynasty Warriors game. "JUN YI! What do you want!"? "I can't find my hairbrush!" "Go to Yuan Xi! I'm busy!" And with a slam in his face I finally was able to get ready for bed…. men…. Pfft.
