𝖬𝗂𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗄𝖾𝗇 | Zilong x Ling

IX

Ling's Pov

A tiny glimpse of a sunlight hit my face making me groan, I can't help but to open my eyes from it. Gustong gusto ko pa matulog but I guess the world have another plan. Wala akong nagawa kundi mag-unat at tumingin muna sa kisame, my ceiling has the color vibe that I always wanted to have, ayaw kasi i-renovate ni ate Luo Yi yung akin, I was once threw a tantrum to her, i felt bad pero sinabi niya na huwag ako maging spoiled, I was young back then.

After reminiscing some of my past, I stand up and fixed my bedsheet and blanket, so as the pillows i used. I went inside the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth na rin. I fixed my hair and smiled on the mirror before going out. But as soon as I stepped outside, I saw Zilong staring outisde on my bed's window. I cleared my throat to get his attention.

and it's succeess.

"Why are you here?" I asked, I closed the bathroom door and walked towards him.

"Oh, I was about to check you if gising ka na para mag breakfast sa baba pero nadatnan kitang wala, ang ganda pala ng view ng room mo, kainggit." Sabi niya at tumanaw ulit sa view. The view of my room is exactly the view of the sunrise, bukid and mountain ang view neto, sa harap naman ng dagat at sunset sa room ni Zi, we didn't talked about it by the way.

"mhm, bababa na lang din naman ako, tara na?" Nauna akong naglakad palabas at narinig ko namang sinara na niya ang pintuan at bumaba na. While walking, sobrang ingay ng dining room kaya I won't wonder na, sa dami ba naming pumunta dito.

"Gege yin! You should meet gigi Wanwan, she's beautiful! Siguro bagay kayo!" Rinig kong sabi ni Chang'e, i believe to this young woman, ang aga aga energetic na siya.

After what Chang'e said, kumantsaw ang mga tao sa dining at inasar si Yin, nag blush naman ang binata. Tinignan ko si Zilong at ngumingiti rin siya, of course he is Yin's relative and Wanwan's friend too, supportive rin siguro siya.

I walked towards the kitchen para kumuha ng sarili kong breakfast, I smile at those people na nag g-greet saakin, wala kasi akong gana mag greet pabalik lol. Andaming rice and frozen foods here, siguro sa wala ng space sa table hindi na nailagay lahat ng ulam doon. I grabbed my own plate and nagsimulang maglagay, i was about to pick another bacon when I saw a piece of lettuce sa aking plate, and marami pang vegetables ang dumating. I looked at the person na gumagawa non and ang loko he's just smiling.

"you need to eat healthy rin, Ling. Kunti nalang magiging payat ka na." Malumanay niyang sabi, well this is my plan, ang magpapayat and i didn't know na malapit na pala ako pumayat nang pumayat.

"And stop staring at me, alam kong pogi ako" Pahabol niya which makes me roll my eyes, i can't help but to hide my small smile and suddenly my cheeks started to heat? That's weird, i thought blushes don't exist.

"And by the way, may pupuntahan ka ba mamaya?" He asked, umiling ako at humarap sa mga relative namin, nasa kitchen kami ni Zilong at sumandal nalang ako sa counter, same as him habang kumakain siya ng sandwhich.

"Great, gala tayo" I nodded nalang, gusto ko rin naman malibot ang lugar na kung nasaan kami, because tomorrow doon na kami sa dagat buong week.

"Isama ba natin sila?" Tanong ko while staring once again at Yin, Chang'e and the other kids na kasama.

"No, tayong dalawa lang" He said, making me stop chewing my food to look at him, seryoso siya habang nakatitig sa mga pamilya namin. And then he looked at me, biglang nag iba yung nararamdaman ko noong tinitigan niya mata ko. For real, what is wrong with me? I'm not like this around my classmates and other male friends eh, why am I like this with Zilong?

We didn't break the eye contact when Yu zhong's voice called us, we awkwardly broke the contact and looked at Yu Zhong who's calling us pa pala mula kanina. I walked towards him and narinig ko munang tumawa ng mahina si Zilong bago sumunod saakin. When we got close to Yu Zhong, umupo na ako sa bakanteng upuan at sinimulan ubusin yung pagkain ko while Zilong is infront of him with his sandwhich.

"May gagawin ba kayo ngayong araw?" Tanong ni Yu Zhong, I looked at Zilong na tumingin din saakin, we have plans pero depende na kay Zilong if gusto niya bawiin.

"Yeah, bakit Tiyo? may ipapagawa ka ba?" Zilong asked and cleaned his hands after finishing his sandwhich. Yu Zhong drank his can of beer before talking once again.

"Magpapasama sana ako sa pagbili ng kakailanganin natin bukas sa dagat eh, eh hayaan na, papasama nalang ako kay Baxia at Yin" Zilong just nodded, I looked at them. Zilong usually cancel his other plans when it comes to his family pero this time he didn't, baka siguro nahihiya siya saakin na i-cancel yung plano niya.

"sorry tiyo, Ling and I have something else to do eh" Yu Zhong's eyebrow lift and smirked, Zilong seem to understood what his Tiyo meant kaya bigla niyang hinimas batok niya, I don't understand them kaya tumayo ako ta dumiretso sa sink para linisin pinagkainan ko. Their stares seem to know something else.

Timeskip

11 pm na and we're getting ready, Inayos ko muna ulit ang suot ko sa harap ng salamin bago kunin ang wallet and phone ko. I fixed my necklace and kumuha ng isang pantali, just in case mainis ako sa buhok ko. A soft knock interrupted me and I shouted that I'm going out na kaya i heared the person walking away.

Naglakad na ako pababa, they asked me kung saan ako pupunta, I was about to answer when Zilong interrupted me again, I looked at him behind me and fuck ang.. porma niya. His fashion sense is immaculate, pakiramdam ko dinaig na ako. His long brown hair is once again tied, may sunglasses sa polo niya and a necklace with a moon symbol of it. Palapit siya saakin and I like his scent so much, ang masculine ng perfume niya and sobrang bagay niya.

"We're going somewhere lang, Tiya. We will be here before 6, bye guys. Chang'e, behave ka ha." He kissed his little sister's forehead before tapping his Tiyo Baxia's shoulder, he walked towards me and smiled at nauna nang lumakad. Pakiramdam ko nabato nanaman ako sa kinatatayuan ako kaya i closed my eyes before walking towards my sister.

"Call me when you need me nalang ate, bye." She waved his hand to me and I did the same. Lumabas ako and I saw him inside of his black car, sumakay ako sa passenger seat and fasten my seatbelt.

"Where are we really going ba, Zi?" Tanong ko noong nagsimula na siyang mag drive, he just smiled and winked at me. I sighed, i guess its a secret then.
