(DAYU)

Wang Qing, true to his word, came to me the next day. Early in the morning.

Too early. Like it's still dark outside early.

"It's only 4 am, why are you here already?" I grumbled while he put a jacket on me. I am still sleepy. Maybe because I didn't get to sleep early after what happened last night.

He agreed not to see anyone or kiss anyone until I got cured. Imagine, what if I am never cured, would that mean he will never see anyone else ever again?

That thought kept me awake last night.

Anyway it's...is it morning when it's still dark? I don't think so. Why is he here in this ungodly hour?

"I miss you, that's why," Wang Qing smiled as he open the door on the passenger's side of the SUV.

I frowned at him. "Because we didn't see each other for two days?"

He shook his head, "Because it's been 6 long hours of separation,"

6 hours? Oh! Yes, we said goodbye last night before the clock strike at 10. And it's 4 am now so...it's been 6 hours since we parted last night.

Is he saying he missed me after just 6 hours of not seeing each other? Really? Is that normal?

I stared at Wang Qing as he drove the car on the almost empty street in our neighborhood. "Did you developed an allergy too?"

"Huh? Allergy?" He gave me a quick glance before focusing on the road again. "No. Why?"

I shrugged, "I just think you developed an "allergy" where you have to see me after 6 hours or something..."

Wang Qing laughed. "I will not call it "allergy", Dayu. If ever I developed something like missing you when I don't see you for 6 hours, it's not an allergy..."

"What is it then?"

Wang Qing just smiled while he made a turn, "I will tell you later." He promised. "Are still sleepy? You want to close your eyes and sleep some more?"

I ponder that. Ask my body. Then I shook my head. "Nope. I don't feel sleepy. Although I am not a morning person, truly."

"I surmised as much," Wang Qing agreed, amusement in his eyes and tone.

"Should we listen to music?" I asked him.

"No, I would rather talk to you. How is Wu La?"

I smiled, "She is fine. But I noticed that she tends to quiet down when I am with you, I don't know why..."

"Because I hate to be the third wheel," Wu La suddenly answered.

I sputtered, "T-third wheel?! You are not a third wheel! This is not a date!"

Wang Qing laughed, "She answered?"

"Yes," I nodded. "She said she doesn't want to be the third wheel. She is weird."

"Say thank you for me," Wang Qing said and I gave him a weirded out look. Why is he thanking Wu La?

"Tell him he is welcome," Wu La said in my mind.

They are using me as their messenger or mouthpiece.

"Just relay the message,"

"Fine!" I exclaimed. "Wu La said you are welcome. Although I don't understand..."
