Chapter 888 - Lying & Hiding (2/2)
”So... Am I forgiven?”
”What nonsense? So easily? I'm not done with you yet!”
Han Bohai grinned at her response, ”So, when are you gonna be done with me?”
Ying scoffed at him, ”Not in this life!” Han Bohai's face stiffened when he heard that while she continued unbeknownst to torrent of emotions she stirred up in his heart. ”Don't even think of escaping from me. You and I have a long way to go! I'll make you slowly pay for this.” She was surprised when she didn't hear a single sound from him. ”What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?”
”If you say it like this...” His voice was so soft and right against her ear even through the phone, it made her ear tingle for some reason. ”Forget this life, I'm even willing to pay with my next life.”
Ying scoffed trying to hide the way her lips titled upward inconspiciously.
After another silent moment of just listening to her breath, he called out to her, ”Ah-Ying~”
”Hm? What is it?”
”I love you!” His breathy voice struck her heart making it beat violently.
She even had to place a hand over her chest to calm it down. This was so not like her. How could she lose her control over a confession like this?
Ying-ah, Ying! You're pathetic!
She huffed, ”What's with that random confession? Who does it like this?”
Han Bohai chuckled softly, ”Someone said to me that most random confessions are the best one. They not only come as a surprise, they also serve to evoke the most unconscious emotions.”
”I believe this advce came from the random person of the century, Xiu! Right?” Han Bohai laughed and hummed in agreement making Ying shake her head. ”I just knew it. That silly girl has no good advice.”
”If she didn't have anything good to say, you and I wouldn't be where we are today.”
Ying couldn't argue with that. Indeed, Xiu played a big role in her relationship with Han Bohai. She'd have never realized her feelings without her and she'd have never been able to let go of that first love she cherished for years with no hope.
”By the way, did my confession make your heart flutter?” asked Han Bohai cheekily trying to take a mile when he was only offered an inch barely.
”What nonsense!” Ying flared up trying to hide her real emotions. ”I'm old enough to have control over my heart.”
”Ah-Ying, when will you understand that age has nothing to do with what heart desires. We age, our heart always stays young. So, if your heart is fluttering, let it be. There is nothing wrong with accepting your own feelings.”
”Spend a little less time with Xiu.”
”But you just told me to take care of her,” reminded Han Bohai in amus.e.m.e.nt.
”Well, then you take care of her but don't listen to her nonsense. I don't even know how her brain works at all. I know it's her influence that you're talking like this.”
”Or maybe I've been like this from the beginning and you've only noticed now.”
”It took me so long to notice how you are? Unbelievable!”
”Believe in the unbelievable. Life might get easier in the future.”
”What do you mean by that?” inquired Ying with furrowed brows.
”You'll know eventually.”
”Hai, you're being really suspicious now. Don't force me to come over there!”
Han Bohai laughed at her, ”I won't talk nonsense but you don't even think about rushing here. Even if you're able to walk on your own now, you're not completely fine yet. So, be a good girl and stay there. Rest well. I'll come back before you know it.”
”Who wants you to come back soon? You can stay there for all I care!” With that she hung up the phone leaving Han Bohai to smile foolishly staring at the phone screen.
”This tsundere is really cute. And she is mine as well.”
