Chapter 105 - Done waiting (1/2)

Ying Sheng came downstairs from her room and walked towards the couch in the living room. She slumped down and lazily threw her head on the armrest. She stretched her legs and picked the remote from the center table in front of her.

After spending a night at Liam's place, she had to say that they have become close. It's nice to have a friend. Every morning, he would send her a message asking how she was and every night telling her to rest early.

Ying Sheng looked forward to his message every day. Anytime she reads the message, a smile will subconsciously formed on her face. She enjoyed teasing her little Cutie.

Fortunately, when he had dropped her off, her parents were not home. They had gone on a business trip. For the past few days, she hasn't heard from them. Her father had called her last night, but she didn't pick up. Why-

Her line of thoughts was cut off when her phone rang. She groaned and pulled it from her pockets to see the caller's identity. Her lips twisted into a sardonic smile when she saw the caller's ID.

'Oh, so he has now remembered me.' Ying Sheng thought as she hung up the call.

But it seems the person was persistent since the phone kept ringing. Out of annoyance, she let out a series of curses before picking up the call.

”What the fu*k do you want?!” Ying Sheng bellowed.

Silence followed from the other line. Han Xi was stunned to hear such words from Ying Sheng. He could hear the venom in her tone. He didn't know what to say. It seems she was furious.

”Are you angry with me?” Han Xi finally said after a long silence.

Hearing his soft voice, Ying Sheng bit her lips. How come one word from his mouth tame her wild soul?

Her anger vanished just like that after hearing his voice. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She took a deep breath and chuckled lightly.

”No, I'm ecstatic for being stood up again for the fifth time. And oh, I stood in the rain for hours because I thought prince charming would come on a white horse and shield me from the rain.” Ying Sheng said ironically.

”I…”

”You're what…. sorry?” Ying Sheng laughed mirthlessly.

”Aren't you tired of saying sorry every time?” She questioned.

Han Xi heaved a sigh, ”I'm sorry. Something came up, and my phone was off.” Han Xi whispered.

”Can you please forgive me?” Han Xi asked nervously as if he was afraid; she wouldn't accept his apology.

”…”

Ying Sheng looked at the ceiling as tears filled her eyes, and her lips pressed into a thin line as she attempted not to cry.

She wanted to stay away from him. Tried to tell him to go fu*k himself. But this was frustrating for her; she wanted to be strong and stop giving in too quickly into his demands. But she loved him and hearing the discomfort in his voice made her heart hurt.

”Can you promise me you won't do it again?” Ying Sheng closed her eyes and asked him.

”I----” Han Xi trailed off. He didn't want to promise her and disappoint her again.

Ying Sheng waited for him to continue, but he didn't.

”I'm done, Han Xi.” Ying Sheng spoke breaking the awkward silence between them.

”What do you mean?” Han Xi asked, fl.u.s.tered.

”I can't do this again. I'm done waiting for you. I'm done always cleaning after your sh*t. I'm done pretending that I wasn't waiting for you anytime you stood me up. But most of all, I'm done being the last priority in your life.”

”Ying Sheng, I'm sorry okay?” Han Xi pleaded.

”Chen Yi got sick, and I couldn't leave her alone!”

Ying Sheng felt as if someone was piercing a thousand needles in her heart.

'Of course it was Chen Yi. It will always be her. His beloved.'

”So, you were too worried about your princess that you forgot to send this black swam a simple text message?” Ying Sheng asked flatly.

Han Xi panicked when he heard her flat tone.

”Ying Sheng don't you think you're overacting? You know Chen Yi's body is weak!”

”Hmm. Well, guess what? I'm sick and tired of always being everyone's last priority and still waiting for someone to remember that I exist too! I'm also a human; the fact that I act like I don't care doesn't mean that I don't!

”Has it ever occurred to you that I also have feelings?”

Han Xi didn't know what to say. Ying Sheng has never spoken to him like this before.

”I'm sorry...”

”You're always sorry for Christ's sake!”
