Chapter 203 - Goodbye Kiss (2/2)

”Wow, I...” Han Xi ran his hand through his hair, obviously at a loss for words. He did not expect Ying Sheng's confession at all! ”To be honest, I am surprised and completely at a loss for words. Ying Sheng, I...”

He did not know what to say. He did not expect that a woman like Ying Sheng would love him. Even with the beautiful girl standing right before him, he felt nothing but surprise as he looked at her, unsure of what to say so that she could not hurt her feelings.

He wondered what if Ying Sheng had told him about her feelings earlier. Would the circ.u.mstances between them have changed? Would he rather have her than his current girlfriend now?

With Han Xi shaking himself from his thoughts, his eyebrows furrowed as a question escaped from his lips, ”Why? Why did you decide to tell me this now?”

A sad smile appeared on her face as her eyes turned glassy, tears forming in her eyes as she spoke, but she tried her best to keep her tears at bay.

”Because I wouldn't want to live with regret without telling you how I feel, Han Xi.”

The way she said his name, Han Xi had to admit with himself that there was love when she said it. A lot of women had said his name, but with Ying Sheng saying it, even though she said his name countless times, too, it had a nice ring to it.

It was like music--a symphony to his ears.

”Ying Sheng, I--”

”Hush...”

Ying Sheng had put her index finger on his mouth, silencing him. ”They say if the person you love is happy with someone else, one should learn how to let go. And I'm doing that now.”

She forced herself to laugh as she felt a lump on her throat, wanting to cry, her heart in shambles like a wrecking ball had bulldozed it, pulverizing it into powder.

”I've spent my whole life hoping for others to love me, but now I'm letting go. I know it won't be easy, but I know that I have to love myself first.”

”Ying Sheng... I--”

She interrupted him once more. She then held his left cheek with her right hand as she slowly inched in, closing her eyes as she softly planted a kiss on his lips, indicating her goodbye.

Han Xi was surprised, but he reciprocated the kiss. He had pulled Ying Sheng towards him by the waist, without him knowing that the kiss was meant for Ying Sheng to let him go.

It was their first kiss together, but Han Xi had felt different compared to when he had moments with his girlfriend. Because of this, he started questioning himself why he had never thought of being in a relationship with Ying Sheng.
