I logged into Second Life, only to see my brother racing around the palace looking around for someone.
"Uhm… Wu Qing… I thought you and your team were training in the Plains of Death…" I muttered.
"We came back, we were running out of health potions and I needed to do something anyway," he replied, just then a huge grin spread across his face, at the exact same time I heard Gui's cries of 'your highness' and 'I missed you'. I sidestepped him just as he was about to bowl me over and instead he landed at Wu Qing's feet.
"Gui went on a date with a girl!" he yelled for everyone to hear, a million heads all turned at once at my loud mouthed brothers statement and Gui looked up at him shocked. Gui started to blush then started to get up.
"It wasn't a date it was just… she's my friend and… it was just… Ok I guess it was a date," he muttered hanging his head, "but it wasn't anything romantic," he whined, then let out a groan. Upon hearing that he'd been on a date with a girl the female population of Infinite city must have begun messaging him.
"HAH!" Wu Qing yelled.
"May I remind you I am your teacher," Gui growled glaring at Wu Qing, "and Prince is still the only one in my heart."
"Yeah well you went on a date with my sister so that gives me every right to take this chance to laugh at you," Wu Qing replied pointing at him. Lolidragon came in.
"What the hell is this I'm hearing about Gui dating a girl?"
"He went on a date with my sister!" Wu Qing cried out, this time putting on an accusing tone. Lolidragon raised an eyebrow, meanwhile Gui simply glared venomously at my brother.
"She's just a student who I'm friends with," Gui grumbled.
"I'm sure it was just friends," I replied casually. Gui immediately brightened up.
"Yes me and Xiao Lan are just friends," he quickly said. Then my brother who'd just turned away turned back with fires in his eyes.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL MY SISTER?" He screamed. Gui looked at him puzzled… and slightly scared.
"Xiao Lan…"
"How dare you call her by her nick name so casually only-
"She told me I could," Gui quickly replied.
"Oh really?" my brother replied, "Sis'… seriously? You let him call you Xiao Lan?"
"Yes," I replied arms folded.
"Yes really," Gui replied. Wu Qing gave him one last angry look before laughing and prancing off, his work here was done now that Gui was getting bombarded with valentines notes from various players.
"Prince…" Gui muttered turning to me with a worried expression.
"What?" I asked fiddling with my Dao.
"You don't mind that I went on… a date with someone right?"
"Why would I mind?" I asked laughing, while inside screaming 'You dunce, to say you have an IQ of 200 you really are stupid! You've spent the last two evenings with me and you still haven't worked it out!' His smiled softened a little. Then he furrowed his brow.
"Prince?"
"What?"
"What do I do with all these messages?"
"Delete them," I replied casually as I put my Dao away.
"But… that would be unkind," he replied going a little watery eyed. I turned to look him in the eye.
"What do you do when girls send you love notes in your university?" I asked.
"Well I can't exactly reject them in front of everyone so I just ignore them…"
"Well you can't exactly go and politely reject all the girls on second life that are messaging you, so just ignore and delete them." He seemed to be reluctant, obviously sorry about the number of girls who's hopes he was crushing, but he nodded.
I was dancing in my chambers trying to come up with some choreography for my next performance on my own… everyone else was busy, and I thought I ought to come up with some ideas on my own since I had very little to do. Just as I was attempting to do some kind of a flip, the door opened and I momentarily forgot what I was doing, fell and banged my head on a bed post…
