Chapter 9: Grim:
Lian Shanbo's POV:
I'm feeling depressed. It feels as if it's been years since I've seen Zhu Yingtai. And it is not just me. Sei Gao was clearly missing Yenzing and my bird, Ba Guo was missing that pink bird me met. It was like Heartbreak City here and I am the Mayor, Sei Gao is the Police Commissioner, and Ba Guo owns all the businesses. Yingtai. We will see each other again.
Lian Shanbo: Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear
Just for a while dear we must part
Don't let this parting upset you
I'll not forget you, sweetheart
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
"I have made a decision," I said, "we are going!"
"We're moving out," asks Sei Gao, "shouldn't we talk to your parents first?"
"What," I asked, "no, we are going to visit Yingtai and Yenzing!"
"Woah, I don't think we're ready to move in with them," says Sei Gao.
"Come with me," I said, "I'll explain on the way."
. . .
We then arrived at Zhu Yingtai's home.
"How do I look," I asked.
"With your eyes," says Sei Gao. He then laughs. I glare. "Okay, I'm just kidding. You look great. Good luck."
"Thank you, my friend."
"I'm going to see if I can find Yenzing."
"Which one of you is Lian Shanbo?"
"That would be me," I said.
"I am Zhu Yingtai's twin brother, Zhu Guo."
"That's funny," says Sei Gao, "our bird's name is Ba Guo."
"Fascinating, but there is something you should know-"
. . .
I arrived at Zhu Yingtai's house. I could not believe what I have learned! "Well, well."
"Ma Wencai," I asked, "what are you doing here?"
"Didn't you get the news," asks Ma Wencai.
"Yes, that Yingtai is getting married," I said, "I just wish I knew who it was."
"You're looking at him," says Ma Wencai.
I then tried to look behind him. "I do not see."
"It's me," says Ma Wencai, "I'm the one who Yingtai's going to marry! Me!"
"You," I asked.
"No, the Monkey King... of course me! And you are not invited... but you are allowed to send a gift. For the record, I'm color blind, so don't make it too colorful." Ma Wencai then walks away. "And stay away from her!"
This cannot be happening!
