Random update: I'm having a blast and still at my friend's house. She wants me to stay until she goes back on the 12th for school and I'm considering it, though my current plan is to go on the 7th.Boy #1 has been calling my friend to ask about me. She has taken to randomly handing me the phone without warning him every time he does this, freaking him out completely when I say hello. I told him bluntly that he should ask me directly since it appears she has gotten tired of being the go-between in this silly game. He pretended that he didnt know what I was talking about and totally hadnt been asking about me. He also filled my cell phone with money and refused to accept payment from me -_- Honestly, I am sooo over it.Boy #2 did a seriously messed up (insanely rude and almost cruel although it might be considered saving face/polite by chinese culture) thing to a friend of mine, to the point where my friend now refuses to be in the same place as him. This alone is enough to make me drop him like a hot potato. My friends are like family to me, I wouldnt tolerate someone doing this to my family so I wont tolerate them doing it to my friend.annnnnnnndboy #3 AKA boy #2's best friend... added me on QQ. He's currently traveling around Sanya with boy #2 but making time to chat with me for a few hours every few days. The first day we talked we ended up chatting until 5:30am (7 hours!). Since then he has remained funny and cute, but he also acts really surprisingly jealous. The first day he messaged me I was with my friend and we were both surprised by his enthusiasm. He asked me where I was. As a joke my friend responded "at my darlings house, of course" he didnt reply until I told him it was a joke and then said he thought I meant a boyfriend. When I told him my friend was there he said he couldnt talk (then he stayed talking for half an hour, and after I told him she left is when we talked for 7 hours strait). He also said "Always ____ (my girl friends name)..." in a jealous way when he saw I have a lot of my online profile pics with her in them. A few days ago at my friends grandparents home, one of her small cousins glued himself to my side and spent the day hanging around me, sitting in my lap to nap, read a story and later leaning against my chest to watch a movie. He was sooooo cute I told boy #3 about him, mentioning how adorable the 7y/o is. Then he totally acted jealous of the kid! hehehe I let my friend read some of my convos with him just in case there is some chinese culture thing I have misunderstood but she agrees he is totally jealous. He wont say anything though and changes the subject by stating "I am changing the topic now" when I've asked him directly if he is jealous and wants a profile pic with me or to spend more time with me. As a general rule, I find the jealousy thing kind of.... cute. At least it makes me think he likes me more than the other 2 did/do because he cant hide his feelings about it at all. Plus he is super funny, perceptive, humble, honest to a fault (for example, I gave him a book I had originally intended for his best friend/brother and told him to keep it and not say anything about it since it was a surprise, but he did tell boy #2 and gave him the book. A great sign of character IMO but kind of wierd considering he is sort of going behind his friend's back (not literally, since his friend gave me his QQ# and told me to add him but still, #2 totally has no clue how much we chat) to flirt with me/be jealous in my direction). I'm wondering what will happen now that I've decided not to be friends with #2 because of the totally no-character action he took with my friend. I definitely want to hang out with #3 more, that much I am certain about. Well, who knows what will happen between now and mid February!All I know is I had a blast getting hongbao for New years and I cant wait to give my friends all their presents. (Yea I got boy # 2 a present already, dunno if I should give it to him. I also got boy #3 a gift but I did not get one for boy #1...)Anywayxin nian kuai le!
