There was a bit of a skip in his step as he walked back to his car. The heavy weight in his hands from the swaying plastic bag was the reason behind his mood. He knew that it was the correct item for what was going to happen tonight. It wasn't that he had confidence that he would win the fight, Zhuang Wei himself was equal to him in strength. Both of them had trained equally hard and the only difference really between them was style.

It was mainly going to be a battle of strategies tonight and how much they wanted to win. They would be lightly padded and the hits were never full strength. The hits were enough to cause bruising but not blood. It helped train their bodies when fighting, since they were similar in skill for an opponent. However, both of them knew it was never serious so there would be no hard feelings or misunderstandings when fighting. Even now, the package in his hands was something he bought to torture Zhuang Wei out of the pettiness in his heart. For all the trouble caused, he had a backup plan for revenge when/if he won.

Unlocking his car, he placed the package on the floor behind the driver's seat. Slipping into front, he closed the door behind him and quickly started the car. He had spent around thirty minutes inside the store all together, which included finding the item and standing in line to buy it. Glancing at the clock, he estimated that Zhuang Wei would have been home for awhile and had probably started eating dinner. Which meant, that by the time he arrived they would have enough energy to do the battle.

Reversing out of the car park, he switched on the radio and listened to the news channel casually. His body was on autopilot and kept his attention half-half on the radio and road. Nothing really entered his ears but he kept enough focus for anything important. Sometimes the most irrelevant information could be helpful like this week's weather forecast. Having the radio has white noise, he drove around for another forty minutes before heading towards Zhuang Wei's house.

The closer he got towards the upper rise community the more lights and the more security there was. Once he passed the threshold of Jinguan Community, he didn't have to take any diversions and headed straight to his house. There were only around five families living within the gates and none of which had enmities with them. They also held considerable status so security was top notch and no one could enter casually. Only because his car was recognized was he allowed to enter himself or else further identification would be needed. 

Driving past three villas, he spotted Wei1's house and drove up the long driveway. He finally parked his car and stepped outside leaving his package inside. It would be obvious if he brought it inside so it would be better to leave it aside. There was also the chance he would be the loser so he had to keep his cards hidden.

Keeping his face blank, he locked his car and headed straight into the house. He had the keys, so he unlocked the door himself and walked inside with ease. There wasn't much sound in the building tonight other than the occasional rustling in the kitchen and a tv playing quietly in the background. Wei's parents had gone abroad and had resided there alongside his other sibling. When things got dangerous, Wei was able to convince them to leave on the understanding that they would come back at some point.

His only family members living with him were his grandparents and they usually went to bed early. Judging by the time and the lack of voices, he ȧssumed they were upstairs preparing for bed. Taking his shoes off at the entrance, he slipped on his indoor slippers and went in search of Wei.

"Have you seen Young Master Wei?" 

"Sorry sir, Young Master Wei had finished eating around ten minutes ago and has left. I'm not quite sure where he is right now. I can go check right now...-"

"No need, I'll search for him. Thanks."

Nodding his head at them, he left again in search of Wei. He checked the movie room, the living room, and random other rooms he thought he would be in. None of them had the illustrious Young Master Wei so he stretched his search upstairs into their room. Maybe they were getting a shower or taking a rest? It took three minutes for him to reach his destination and only ten seconds to determine he wasn't there either. 

His eyebrows furrowed a little, resembling a mini caterpillar on his forehead. His next thought that Wei was outside in the backyard but decided to change his clothes before searching again. He hadn't had dinner yet and was a little hungry but also didn't want to eat right before a fight. It gives energy but also increases his chance of vomiting if a hit landed on his stomach. So his idea was to change, do the fight and the eat in peace once everything was all over. 

Heading to the spare room he used, he walked down the hall and straight into the room without turning on the lights. He paused for a couple of seconds and his eyes narrowed before he opened his wardrobe. Reaching in he grabbed random workout clothes and started stripping his shirt. 

"How long are you going to lay there watching me before you speak?" His voice broke the silence in the room and unveiled the person laying on his bed.

"No."

He kept his back turned as he spoke again, pushing his hands through the shirt he felt for the tag to see which side he had in front of him.

"No to what? No to turning on the lights? No to speaking? Or just no to everything?"

"No." I switch between using his full name and Wei a lot. I like to put his full name first and then switch to the nickname so you know who I'm talking about. They are interchangeable and is just the way XL calls him.. If you hate it let me know, I'll stick to one.
