Allen looked at the man, musing over his last moments with him, those words he whispered to him on his thirty-three birthday, those memories he kept them in the depth of his fathomless heart, were slowly resurfacing as he gazed at his old acquaintance. .
The first birthday he ever celebrate after his grandparents death, was when he escaped from the hellish prison, he celebrated grandly but with close family and friends... He remembers those words this man said to him crystal clear, even to this day.
"Little Xi live your life, don't hold back... I will always be there for you"
Yet the irony, he was the first one to leave without a word. Allen wondered where he went...
Allen looked for him tiredlessly while also searching for his grandparents' murder.
Too bad before he could find either of them he died or rather reborned from the ashes of fire and become a vicious phoenix.
Allen met him as Alina when she was prisoned in the hell for saven years, he was her sole comfort... a paradise to her inferno.
Nonetheless... now
He was here, Allen whispered secretly in his heart "Long time no see Li Jūn Yí"
She had a grin on her face when she looked at them, especially Jun Yì.
Allen's hands were trembling with excitement.... He wanted to reach out to him, hold him, hug him tight and say 'Hubby I finally found you..."
Yes, Allen who was afraid of love, the thought of love brought chills down his spines.
Was in love with Jun Yî, he loved him as a friend. A warmth that held her tight.... and He allowed him to call him hubby... 'Isn't that sweet.." Allen grinned. 'Would he allow me to call him hubby in this life time, that would be nice'
Yeah, he was the man who gave Allen comfort, a sense of tranquility within his soul. It took him three years to realise that he liked Jun Yi more than friends, but, he couldn't confess and before he could say or make his mind up. The man left abruptly without saying a word.
Allen doesn't know what love is or what it means. From his experience it's hell to fall for someone and what awaits for him was torture. To him it's something that is nice if you are fortunate or its not necessary.
Love was like the forbidden fruit from the garden of Eden, you don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse. But once it's bitten, it becomes an addiction, eating small bite doesn't work, the body becomes desensitised, it wants more... But, if there was none (not reciprocated) all you feel is the withdrawal symptoms and the torment that comes with it.
Nevertheless, you bite the apple because you are willing to listen to the serpent as this was why you love someone in the first place was to give the individual the right to manipulate you.
You are willing to be manipulated, wrapped around their little fingers, a web you pushed yourself in to. You only have yourself to blame.
Fortunately for Allen, he didn't love his first husband, even so he was tormented. While for the brief moment he thought he finally had someone to rely on. They dissappeared.
Thus, he wondered if that was love since it could just be his delusion.
Or maybe a warning. Since, fear also represents heart palpitations as the adrenaline rushes, butterfly would flutters in his stomach because of anxiety.
But, he felt secure when Jun Yî was by his side.
Therefore, Allen decided to marry him, even if it meant he had to get over his phobia of marriage
. Maybe because all he wanted was the man to remain beside him.
Allen shook his head, bringing himself back to reality. He thought, his thoughts were wondering too far and becoming out off reach. 'pfft what marriage, if it was last life maybe perhaps., But now, he has so much to accomplish.
'Can't be held by a man, nope, nada.'
'Not especially after this man dissappeared.'
'tsk'
While clearing his mind, he looked at grandfather Wang for explanations.
Grandfather Wang looked at the rowdy boys who were eagerly looking at him. There were as curious as Allen was, after all he hasn't met all of them. She was rather busy with rebuilding her empire and before... she was imprisoned.
Grandpa Wang then introduced them one by one ...
He finally introduced Justin: "This is Justin, our top medical student cum teacher."
Allen was confused "Pardon?" Even if Allen knew Justin from her past life, but she didn't know many things about him. Thus she was confused. Professor or teacher?
Deen Wang laughed "Justin used to be in the military and since he hails from a military doctor family, he has been taught medicine for many years, therefore the teacher since he has experience to become one, you can think of him as a TA, teacher's assistant if you want to lessen the confusion. As for being the student, there were some complications so he has to learn things from the scratch, but he is the university's pride, a top medical surgeon to be"
Deen Wang was proud as he addressed Justin Li's accomplishments, it didn't seem like a Deen proud of the expectational student but more like a grandpa proud of his grandson.
Although Allen couldn't understand what was going on he still raised his hand to shake. Just as she was going to take back hand. Justin asked "Do we know each other"
'Of course, we know each other, we spent a life time together. But you scum man left me behind without saying anything. I met you too late before. But, now I guess I have time... To tease and vent my anger on you for leaving without saying anything'
This made Allen chuckle, look as devilish as he possibly can. Raising his brows, he asked "Is the remarkable Mr. Surgeon interested in me?"
Em...Hello, you mad at me? For dissapearing for almost a year? Hmm I deserve
But... Well I have no excuse
Just...
1- Exams got cancelled
2- I had no school but I was busy with other things
3- I might not even have a future... It's bleak
I am not making excuses. Just updating about myself.
Those who celebrated Eid. Eid Mubarak.
Thanks for being patient with me.
Allen grinned and continued "Tsk such an outdated pickup line, you have to improve yourself Mr. Surgeon, if you wanna woo me?". Allen patted his shoulder with his other hand as if he was consoling him..
'What the f...." Justin was speechless, he felt familiar with this man in front of him, thus he asked. 'How did it become flirting?' He looked around, his friends were snickering at him, while grandpa Wang shook his head.
No one said anything. Everyone was gloating at his misfortune.
Not even bothered by this hooligan's action. 'Whateven...' The only normal reaction he got from was the students, they were as speechless as he was.
Well, they technically lost the their senses.
They were so stunned, the lecture room was eerily silent. All they could think was:
'The beautiful professor is into men?'
'He is interested in the Emperor'
'We are going to lose two outstanding men!'
Their little heart was aching. Could this get any worse. It's been a long day, and yet it's just morning...
They wanted to cry but there was no tears.
Yet some fujoshi hearts were excited, two excellent men together. It's fine wine accompanied by romantic music. How delighting. The ambience, feeling. Their hearts were fluttering as if they were the ones in love.
When Justin had enough and tried to shake his hands off, he was pulled forward by Allen.
He was a few centimeters taller than the man in front of him, as he was pulled closer, he thought he would crash into him, since both were men and the man in front should have muscles as hard as him.
He was bracing for an impact but but what he got instead was a swift of fresh vanilla and strawberry fragrances surrounding him and the soft creamy feeling. As if the aromatic pheromones were enticing him.
He suddenly felt hungry. And vErY thirsty..
He was not a cut sleeve. Not that he had anything against them but he wasn't.. He.. What's going on? Why was he allowing himself to be in this situation.
Nevertheless, the 'professor' didn't actually pull him to take advantage, he stopped midst but Justin really wished Allen pulled him little more. 'Bah what am I thinking.'
He wasn't looking forward to be sexual harassed on a broad day light and that too by a professor, this harassment was beyond his control and he definitely wasn't an masochist.
*
Allen didn't seemed be bothered by teasing or rather flirting with a supposed student. After all he wasn't even a student. While Justin was embarrassed.
Grandpa Wang couldn't bear this secondhand embarrassment. Even though, back of his mind he thought these two people would suit each other.
He hurriedly took Justin to his side as if he was protecting him from a pervert.
'Bruh' Allen was speechless, 'Hey, I am not that bad you know'
Nonetheless, he couldn't say anything, maybe he went to far. Allen touched his nose, smiled slightly feeling sorry. His prankster behaviour went little far, he wanted to apologize but he couldn't bring himself so he just laughed.
His two canny teeth were showing, making him look even more like sunshine boy. No where near the professor who almost harassed his student.
His pure smile was infectious, everyone forgot what happened.
Grandpa Wang didn't want to stay here any longer. He was busy man and so was the boys.
Moreover, he thought if he remained here, an atom bomb would explode at any moment.
Justin didn't want to say anything, he would much prefer leaving too.
He will remember this tease.
He wanted to say he was humiliated but this professor had nothing malicious against him other than the fact he was a too much of a tease.
Even so, Justin seemed to forget that this professor who teased him showed interest in him and he didn't seem to reject the advance as well as the fact that both were men .... He wasn't bothered at all.
He even wanted to smell the man even more...
While he and his fellows slowly walked away.
Someone already took a picture of him and Allen, when Allen dragged Justin closer to him.
They made a picture perfect portrait, and with Allen's androgenic face. No one would know if it's a male or a female.
Hence the University forum blow up.
They were all curious.
They wanted to discuss but their professor was oblivious to their curiosity and gossipy aunt personality. Furthermore, he wouldn't care even if he knew they were curious and were having a heated conversations. it didn't matter to him.
With a clap of his hands, he looked at his students. "Right, let's get back to work. The guests have wasted our time." He smiled innocently as if it wasn't his fault for messing around, the speechless student just helplessly laughed.
"Anyway, since this the first week of the first semester and with the change of professors and the sudden changes around the university. This week there isn't any serious work or introduction to module." Allen went back to his serious attitude as soon as his flirt personality came.
His announcement made the students heve a sigh of relief way to early as his second announcement made them wished they rather start the module introduction, after all it was just a introduction, no brain power was needed.
"Right, since you don't have any work this week. You will write me a 500 words essay." Allen grinned evilly.
"The 500 words essay is about you opinion and thoughts. So don't fret about it, you can do you own research or email me for articles to help. At the end I will mark it and reward the person with the best answer." Allen declared with great delight, while students wanted really hate this smiling devil. But, they could forgive him, since he will reward them?
Hence one of the student asked: "What's the reward?"
Allen chuckle: "Aren't curious about the question instead of the rewards?"
"No!" There was a simultaneous answer.
There answers made Allen grin widely : "How did I end up having such naive students. if you don't know the answers how will you be rewarded. tsk tsk smh."
"....."
"Anyhow, the rewards are secret. So want to know the questions?" Allen's eyes shone light. 'Ah, so fun to tease.'
"Yes!" What's else could they say?
"So the questions: Describe what is loneliness in opinion. Is it biological? Is it environmental? Or both? It's has to be your own original essay, can't copy of each other. If you do..." Allen just smile gently, and didn't elaborate.
"Well, have a good day. I hope to have the work by Monday. Good Luck." He cheerfully said good bye.
While the students mournfully said goodbye: "Good bye Professor Xi, I hope you have a good day." 'If it weren't for your good looks we would have cursed you to have bad luck' They thought.
Ali: What is Loneliness?.
