501 Somewhere In Your Hear (1/2)

Ying was flabbergasted by his accusation. The way he said that she hurt him almost made her believe for a second that she did it. But then she reminded herself that it wasn't possible at all.

”Don't throw accusations at me,” she stated roughly.

”But you did hurt me and said you'd take responsibility as well...” he mumbled to himself and crossed his arms against his chest as if he was wronged.

”What are you muttering to yourself?”

Han Bohai looked at her and changed his words, ”I was wondering if you have alcohol amnesia.”

”I don't drink alcohol though,” replied Ying. She was not fond of alcohol and she was a bad drinker on top of that. So, she usually avoided alcohol at any cost. ”But why are you asking that?”

He blankly stared into the distance as he replied, ”Forget it. You don't even remember. It's pointless bringing it up now.”

They both sat in silence and both of them didn't feel the need to talk either. Somehow the silence was growing comfortable between them. However, Ying found it quite strange since she was not such a silent person. She always had the urge to talk. But with Han Bohai, she felt like it wasn't needed. Words weren't needed at all.

But why was she feeling like this?

Ying finally broke this tranquil silence as she said, ”I hope I returned the favor I owed.” He glanced at her as she went on, ”I know the food wasn't comparable to the delicacies you have tasted before but...”

”You're still trying to get rid of me?” He interrupted her words and snickered, ”Do you hate the sight of me that much?”

”Hate is a strong word and a very strong emotion. I don't fancy it that much.” retorted Ying blankly. ”As for why I'm trying to shake you off, isn't it obvious?”

”It's not obvious to me. Care to enlighten me?”

”I don't want you to waste your time on me. You're a celebrity with countless admirers.”

”Just because I have countless admirers, I don't have the right to admire someone?”

His words left her speechless and she closed her mouth. Of course, that's not what she meant to say. Every person has the right to like whoever they want. Who was she to deny that? She wasn't even able to refuse the love Xiaoli had for Meihui.

”That's not what I meant. Even if you have feelings for me, it can't be that strong that you can't let go of it. It's still time, think about it. You shouldn't be wasting your time or your feelings on me.”

”Isn't that up to me?” inquired Han Bohai while his brows raised slightly. ”It's my time, my feelings.”

Ying was exasperated by not just his words but also by the look in his eyes. ”Why are you so insistent on it?”

”Because I don't like taking anything for granted in my life anymore.”
