Chapter 204 - Heartbreak (2/2)

'Ying Sheng loves Han Xi, Liam... she loves him,' he thought as he talked to his reflection with his mind. 'But even though she loves him, I won't give up... ever.'

Ying Sheng asked him to stay. He promised her that he needed five months, and he would do just that. The kiss that they shared may have surprised him--it may have made him waver for a second about his feelings towards her, almost scaring him.

But he knew he had to man-up. He knew that to win a woman's, one must continue to fight if he wanted her to love him.

It made him remember what he read when he was browsing the internet. Not all the things found on the internet were true and correct, but it was relatable.

He read that the reason why men would be the ones courting women was that women are fickle-minded. Men can make women change their minds, which is why it was always men that would make the efforts to win the lady's heart.

His grip on the sink tightened as he kept staring at his pathetic self, who was crying moments ago. He scoffed, then he stared right back in his own eyes reflected on the mirror as if challenging himself.

”The real challenge is about to begin, Liam,” he said to himself, mustering up his confidence. ”Keep it together. Ying Sheng needs you.”

With that, he heaved a sigh as he stepped outside the male's restroom and went back on his seat where he had been with Ying Sheng moments ago.

The moment he sat down, his heart raced nervously as the thought of them being for a long time worried him. He promised himself seconds ago to be confident but now that he came back and there was still no sign of them, his heart sank, wondering if things had gone great between them.

'What if that happened? What if it did happen great between them? Would Ying Sheng throw me away? Would she no longer need me? Would I have no chance at all?'

Liam's lips turned into a tight line as he stared blankly at the empty glass on the table.

”No,” he mumbled to himself only he could hear. ”Stop thinking negatively, Liam, and wait for what's to come. Only then will you decide on what you're going to do next,” he spoke to himself, familiar footsteps now sounding closer as he instinctively turned his head to look at where it came.
