552 Compliment Yourself (1/2)
While this night was a peaceful one for Xiu and Darren, it wasn't so peaceful for someone else. And that someone was none other than Ying.
Currently, it was midnight and she was stuck in an argument with a certain clingy 'Trial boyfriend' who was insisting on staying here with her.
”I'm telling you to scram already!”
Ying's voice was fierce. Although she often slept at dorms where other people would occupy the same room, it was different right now. She didn't know why but she couldn't treat Han Bohai as just any other male subordinate of hers. It was different and she could feel it. As for why she had no answer to that.
”I said I'll sleep on the sofa,” Han Bohai was also insisting on sleeping right here.
”That doesn't matter. What matters is why do you want to stay here? Why?!”
”What if you cried after I leave? I can't let that happen. So, I'll be benevolent and stay here to accompany you. Even if you end up crying, I'll be here to lend you my shoulder.”
Ying rubbed her throbbing temple as she gritted out in frustration, ”Why would I cry?”
”I don't know who broke your heart but I'm sure you'll think about it once I leave and that can make you cry. I won't be able to handle that.”
He was talking honestly. He really believed that she wasn't as strong as she appeared. And he was most scared of seeing her crying for someone else. Knowing her pride, she'd never let her tears fall before him. To distract her even if he had to add some more shameless points on his head, he didn't mind. After all, he was already shameless enough in her eyes. A little more won't hurt him.
”Do you really think I'm that weak? I don't cry that easily!”
Han Bohai cushioned his face with his hands saying, ”Who said tears are weakness? Tears don't define a person. But tears are just an expression of love, care, and pain. We don't cry unless there are some feelings. It just makes us human. It has nothing to do with strength or weakness.”
Ying crossed her arms over her chest as she said, ”Did I mention how annoying you are?”
”I already know that I'm very annoying. But I can't help it. I really don't want to leave you alone at this time.”
Ying was quiet when she noticed the truth in his words that was reflected in the sincerity of his eyes. ”Don't you think you're moving way too fast, Mr. Trial Boyfriend? We just became kind of official and you're already trying to stay at my place? That's frowned upon in our society.”
Han Bohai gaped at her. ”I'm sleeping on the sofa. How is that moving fast? If you say, I can even sleep on the floor. Just futon is needed. The rest I don't mind.”
”You!” Ying clenched her fists tightly before she added, ”You're really looking for a good beating.”
