37 Its Earth and not Fantasy (1/2)

When Liling returned to the room, Xin Yong and Richen were already asleep. She took a quick shower and climbed onto the empty space on the bed.

She clutched her knees with her arms, and breathed out heavily as her mind wandered off to what happened earlier that day.

Thinking about Liu Wei, she felt he was a good person, and damn it!, he was quite handsome.

But this was earth and not fantasy, someone like that; handsome, extremely rich, she doesn't have enough right to even dream about him.

He was not for her and she knew it better than anyone else. She knew that in the end it would be her getting hurt so she rather avoid it before it became too late.

Thinking back on how her dad treated her mom, she couldn't help but sigh. Such was what life was, and not the fantasy that it feigns to be.

She didn't want to live like that, so couldn't afford to lose herself so easily. Closing her eyes tightly, she forced herself to sleep.

.....

Eva stirred on the bed and gradually opened her eyes. Her view was a little blurry, but she could spot a muscular body pouring liquid into a cup.

She blinked severally until she saw Jin Yue clearly.

”Jin Yue?..”

Glancing up at her, Jin Yue smiled and walked over to the bed with a cup of tea.

”Eva, you are awake, drink this.., it's good for hangovers” Sitting on the bed, he handed her the cup.

”Thank you Jin Yue, but I don't get hangovers, besides I didn't drink much last night”

Eva pouted as she took the cup from him. Jin Yue shot her a pitiful look.

'You don't drink much, but you almost slept in a dinner!'

After she was through, Jin Yue prepared a bath for her. She took her bath, humming a favorite tune. Especially glad at Jin Yue's dottiness.

When she was fully dressed, Jin Yue called her over to the couch. She hurried over and sat by his side, a blush crept up on her face. Looking at him lovingly, she waited for him to speak.

Jin Yue who was typing on his laptop, quietly placed it beside him and turned to face her.

”Eva.. ” He called with a caring tone, like one would to a good friend.

”Mmm” Eva replied almost immediately, she was really anticipating what Jin Yue would say.

Maybe a confession or something?

'Has he realized that he finally likes me? '

She smiled shyly as she faced him, not really able to look him in the face.

”Eva, what am about to say now, please take it seriously”

Jin Yue continued, his eyes unblinkingly staring at her.

”Okay.. ”

Jin Yue paused for a moment before he continued.

”Eva..., you are a beautiful and amazing person. No man would not want to be with you”
