Chapter 106 - Crazy things (2/2)

He sat down and stared directly at her as he propped his chin in his palms. Ying Sheng averted her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes.

Without saying a word, she took her bag and made her way out of the lecture hall. Han Xi followed her outside.

Ying Sheng ignored him until they reached a quiet place where no one was around.

Ying Sheng stopped and turned around.

”What do you want, Han Xi?” She asked as she crossed her arms across her chest.

”I wanted to see you. I miss you.” He rubbed the back of his neck and grinned.

Ying Sheng's heart skipped a beat. It took everything she had not to blurt that she missed him too.

”Okay, I hear. You can leave now.” Ying Sheng said nonchalantly.

”I know I'm an asshole, but I will try to not hurt you again. You're like my f.u.c.k.i.n.g sister, and I can't always hurt you.”

'Sister' His words sting her heart. She didn't want him to see her as his little sister. She wanted him to see her as a woman madly in love with him. She wanted him to look at her the same way she looked at that woman. She wanted to see his eyes swarming with desire and love for her!

Ying Sheng turned around and ignored him. The moment she took a step forward, Han Xi gripped her hand, and before she could protest, he cupped the side of her head and pulled her to his chest.

Ying Sheng froze as she listened to his heartbeat. Her mind went blank, and she forgot that she was angry at him. She felt him kiss the top of her head.

Unbeknownst to Ying Sheng, who was enjoying being in her crush's arms, she didn't see a man watching her with an intense pain etched on his face. The man felt his heart cracking. With his heart falling on the ground, he left the place before they could see him.

”Ying Sheng, don't be angry, okay? I'm sorry. You don't know I haven't slept well these past few days. The thought of you being mad at me makes me feel restless. I-”

”Why?” Ying Sheng whispered. She felt him stiffened.

Han Xi pulled her away and held her shoulders. He looked into her eyes.

”Even though I might be a jerk to you sometimes. You mean a lot to me, Love.”

Ying Sheng was taken aback by his words. She looked into his eyes to detect if he was lying, but nothing showed that he was.

”Let me take you to your favorite restaurant, okay?” Lost in his gaze, Ying Sheng subconsciously nodded.

Han Xi beamed and moved his hands on her back and guided her to his car.

He opened the door for her, and at that moment, Ying Sheng allowed herself to imagine that she was his girlfriend.

Pathetic right? She knows, but as they say, love makes you foolish. It makes you throw every bit of logic away. It makes you do all sorts of crazy, impossible things with and for the person you love.
