Chapter 17 - First Door.

Summer is over. A new semester has begun. Going back to school after a long vacation makes it even harder for five teenagers to wake up in the morning. It was like a big war to wake them up. XiangXiang is the only one who can be easily woken up from his sleep. He will wake up even from a falling needle.

Dragging WenWen, LinLin and Yaya out of their beds takes a lot of effort. They will sit up, but when you let them go even for a second, they will go back to sleep.

JiaJia almost lost his temper as he woke WenWen up. His face became wild like a lion. He started imagining how he would throw WenWen and the entire bed out of the room into space.

"WenWen..."

Call XiangXiang who was still half asleep. He patted WenWen gently. "Is that how you woke him up? This log? Are you crazy?" JiaJia looked at XiangXiang's face with a head full of question marks.

"Okays..."

WenWen sat up. He scratched his head before pulling his blanket aside. Ignoring JiaJia who stood there for a long time to wake him up. JiaJia's mouth wide open after seeing how quickly WenWen woke up just by being patted and called softly by XiangXiang, while he didn't even open one eye when he pinched his nose or slapped his butt. "This is ridiculous. Crazily ridiculous..." JiaJia slapped both of his cheeks.

In the trio's room, XinXin took a deep breath after all his efforts to wake LinLin and Yaya had failed. He was out of energy. Being able to wake YuanYuan up with just one attempt was considered lucky for him.

YuanYuan came with a spray bottle. He sprayed LinLin and Yaya's faces and woke them both up. LinLin and Yaya gave YuanYuan a death glare.

""Wake up. We're going to be late."

YuanYuan placed his spray bottle next to his bed. Ignoring the death glares from his two roommates. "Wow.. that really works. Good..." XinXin gave YuanYuan a thumbs up. He smiled contentedly. His junior was a genius.

At school, WenWen and XiangXiang walked together to their classroom. This semester, they were all in the same classroom. Second year was exciting. There were seniors and juniors. WenWen couldn't wait to be called "senior" by his juniors. He smiled proudly all the way and made the others sick of his behavior.

WenWen stared at XiangXiang. His friend was indeed getting more beautiful day by day. Truly like a peony. Especially his plump and pink cheeks. WenWen began to be greedy and wanted XiangXiang only for himself.

"I'm hungry..."

WenWen whined as he grabbed XiangXiang's shoulders. Using all his methods to snuggle close to XiangXiang. "Ahhh...so fragrance..."

"It's your own fault. If you hadn't fallen asleep in the bathroom, you'd have plenty of time to eat breakfast. Now, move away..."

XiangXiang pushed WenWen's head off his shoulder gently.

"But.. it's all my eyes fault, not mine."

WenWen kept whining at XiangXiang. Xiangxiang gave WenWen a sharp glare. But, he couldn't deny that he liked WenWen's cute side like that.

"This. I only have this. Hold on until lunchtime."

XiangXiang gave WenWen his sandwich.

"Is this okay? How about you?"

WenWen tried to be considerate. But his eyes were already hungry with XiangXiang's sandwich. He was also smiling from ear to ear.

"It's okay. I did take this especially for you."

Hearing that, WenWen's face brightened like sunlight. Even brighter than that.

"XiangXiang...is it possible that you... have accepted my feelings?"

WenWen asked without any shame.

"In your dreams."

XiangXiang put his sandwich right in WenWen's face. WenWen laughed and took the sandwich from XiangXiang's hand. He also took the opportunity to caress XiangXiang's fingers.

XiangXiang pulled his hand away after he felt an electric shock hit his heart through his bloodstream. XiangXing turned and walked away. He smiled shyly. But it was too sweet to bear. XiangXiang pursed his lips tightly. Trying his best to hold back the tingling feelings. "Pervert!"

"Yes!"

WenWen jumped high as her feelings burned with love. He truly head over heel in love with a boy name Bai XiangXiang.

That day, WenWen and XiangXiang smiled all day long. Smiles that made others feel creepy.

YuanYuan, Yaya and LinLin have to endure the annoyance of seeing XiangXiang's shy smile and WenWen's satisfied and proud smile. One can be too cute to watch and the other can be too annoying to watch.

Evening practice arrived. All eyes were on a familiar face in the middle of their club room.

"Good evening everyone. Everyone is here, right?"

Ask Mr Ruirui.

"This is Mr. Bai Wu Ya. Your dance instructor from today onwards. Please pay your respects to him."

Mr. Ruirui gave an introduction. Everyone was stunned and silent. It felt like a dream.

"Brother Wu Ya. Is this for real?"

JiaJia asked. He was too excited by what he heard. It's better to have a fierce teacher than a teacher who knows nothing.

"So. You know each other. No wonder you come willingly after you rejected my invitation so many times before."

There was a sullen tone in Mr Ruirui's voice.

"He's my brother's friend."

Said JiaJia.

"Oh. Like that..."

Still sulking.

"My brother is sulking."

Yaya whispered in YuanYuan's ear.

"You go coax him"

YuanYuan whispered back. Yaya quickly shook his head. His brother could be a heartbreaking drama queen. Persuade him would bring disaster. He would continue to sulk until you put yourself under his feet. Ignoring him was the best way to survive.

"Stop sulking. It's ugly. Move away you wimp!"

Everyone looked at a woman who came with a large box. She pushed Mr. Ruirui away with the heavy box without any guilt. What an extraordinary upper-class woman.

"Sis!?"

"Sister?" All eyes were on JiaJia with questions. Meanwhile, JiaJia's eyes widened when he saw his sister also coming. His eyes began to search for Su Ruan. Wu Ya and his sister were there. His brother was definitely there too.

"He's busy at work. Don't waste your time looking for him. But...he wants me to give you this."

"These two really can't be separated. Haaa...they really can't be saved." Mei Lin muttered to herself as she placed the box on the table in front of them. She scratched her body after having to carry the heavy box alone. Her younger brother was really cruel sometimes. Especially when it came to their younger brother.

"What is this, sis?"

JiaJia peered curiously at what was inside the big box.

"Sis! Is this for us?"

JiaJia asked and took out a costume from the box. A beautiful black costume with spider lily flower patterns made of red Swarovski stones. So elegant.

Mei Lin nodded. She smiled proudly. Very proud of her skills as a fashion designer.

"Ha!?"

The others were shocked and then also chose their costumes. There was also a name written on the plastic wrapping of the costumes. The costumes were specially designed according to the characteristics that Su Ruan described about all the teenagers.

"Oh. Try on the costume first. I want to know if it suits you or not. We can fix it if there's a problem. Now go try it on."

Mei Lin said. Mr. Ruirui and Wu Ya just silently watched Mei Lin do her job. Not daring to interfere. Mei Lin is a woman with strong will and courage. Her charisma is more than a queen.

After everyone gathered back together, Mei Lin looked at them one by one. JiaJia's clothes matched him well. After all, he was her younger brother. She really knew about her younger brother. XinXin's clothes also matched him. His figure was almost the same as JiaJia's so it was easy for Mei Lin. YuanYuan and Yaya also matched him. She looked at LinLin. His pants were a bit long for him.

"You move over there. I need to fix your pants. After this you drink a lot of milk to get tall."

Mei Lin grumbled like an old woman. LinLin just followed her instructions. Mei Lin turned to WenWen. His pants were too short. She ordered WenWen to stand next to LinLin. WenWen just followed. Now it was XiangXiang's turn. Everything was too big on his body. Mei Lin let out a sigh. She gestured for XiangXiang to move with WenWen and LinLin with her finger. XiangXiang pulled up his pants that were almost sliding down and moved next to WenWen.

"Did you feed him well? He's too thin. There's a lot to be done to fix his costume."

JiaJia just nodded hearing his sister complain. His job was only to prepare food, but how to force XiangXiang to eat was no longer his job.

"Okay. My part is done. Now you can do your part. You..."

Mei Lin pointed towards Mr. Ruirui.

"Take these boxes to my boutique after you're done. I have to attend a meeting with my client now."

Mei Lin gave orders casually. Just like a demanding queen.

"Why me?"

Mr. Ruirui tried to refuse. Mei Lin only answered his question with her sharp gaze and Mr. Ruirui automatically nodded. Unable to resist the power of this independent woman. A woman who has used all her power to protect her younger siblings.

"All right. Today I want to tell you some big news."

Wu Ya said after Mei Lin left. Everyone focused on Wu Ya. They listened carefully. Their hearts started beating fast as if they had just run a ten-kilometer marathon.

"Su Ruan's company anniversary will arrive at the end of this month..."

JiaJia nodded. The others were silent. They patiently waited for the big news.

"He wanted Flexx to dance at the opening and closing ceremonies of the event."

Everyone's mouths were wide open like a yawning hippo. They really couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"This is a golden opportunity for you. Your first door to creating your own stage."

Wu Ya's words were like a tornado that threw the seven of them into another universe. Still unable to accept the reality of their new lives.

"Has my brother lost his mind? This is impossible. We are just amateur dancers."

JiaJia voiced his concerns. He was afraid that he would disappoint his brother's expectations. Worse, he might ruin his brother's name. This was absolutely impossible.

Wu Ya smile.

"You need to trust your brother like he trusts you and your team."

Wu Ya approached JiaJia. He gently patted JiaJia's shoulder.

"Besides... With a great teacher like me, what are you afraid of?"

Wu Ya winked at JiaJia. "Tch...this couple is really annoying." JiaJia gave Wu Ya a sharp glare.
