Chapter 163 - First Crush And Love

************

CHAPTER 163

"That means your neighbour, Bai Renxiang is your first crush?" Wei Ruolan asked with raised brows.

"Yes, she is my first crush and then love," he admitted as he scratched his head awkwardly.

"Sigh. I still can't believe it," she shook her head in disbelief.

"Anyways, I had a great time at your apartment this evening. Thank you for inviting me over to your house."

"No problem. I am glad you are enjoyed yourself."

"It is getting late already. My parents will be worried about me by now."

"Yeah they will. I hope you even get scolded as payment for laughing at me because I did not have a crush in high school," he said and booked a cab for her.

Wei Ruolan sticked her tongue out and laughed at him again.

They talked about work and other stuffs before the cab came into view. Yi Minsheng waved and the car came to a stop in front of them. After telling the cab driver about Wei Ruolan's location and paying the transport fare- after much argument with Wei Ruolan, he held the door opened for her to get in. Wei Ruolan hugged him before she entered the cab.

"Good night Minsheng," she said.

"Hmm. Good night," then he turned to the driver. "Ensure you keep her safe and drop her in front of her doorstep." The cab driver nodded his head.

"Have a safe trip home Ruolan."

"Thank you. Bye," Wei Ruolan said with a smile and she waved him as the car drove away.

Yi Minsheng stood there staring at the fading back light of the car. One it was totally out of sight, he sighed and looked up at the sky. Another person has known that he loves Bai Renxiang.

He had tried to forget his feelings for her but it was too hard. Especially when she is neighbour. He sees her almost every f*cking day. It will definitely be hard to forget what he feels for her.

But it is never impossible to forget. She wants him to forget and move on. She wants him to not love her but to love another. Where would he find a woman that will make him feel the way she makes him feel when he just sees her?

Yi Minsheng smiled bitterly. Love has made him weak. But the woman he loves is still as strong as he first met her. What an irony. He walked himself back to the large story building his apartment is situated. He walked slowly as he kept on thinking.

Then his mind settled on something. Since his first love wants him to forget about her, he would do it. He will try to do it because of his love for Bai Renxiang. He has to try to free his heart once more to love again. But the journey will be hard.

Nevertheless, there is one thing that Yi Minsheng will be eternally grateful for. It is the fact that he did not experience being cheated on or being led on by Bai Renxiang and she later break up with him in a cruel way like what he has heard from few if his colleagues at work. 

In his own case, she let him down with his affection in her heart. She did not want to hurt his feelings by rudely rejecting his love. She even gave him an advice to forget his feelings and find a girl that deserves his love. His Renxiang is as lovely as ever.

When Yi Minsheng got back home, his mother, Mrs Yi was sitting in the living room watching those dramas they usually show on TV. He shook his head and walked towards her.

"Hey mum," he said as he lied down beside her and placed his head on her laps.

"Hi honey. Did you get a cab for your friend?" She asked still looking at the TV while her left hand caressed his hair.

"Yeah I did. She told me that she had a great time here and that she likes you," he said as as he closed his eyes and snuggles closer to her.

"Really?"

"Hmm. Really."

"I like her too. Well considering that she is the only friend you have brought home apart from Bai Renxiang," she said.

"Yeah. We are very close at work so I just thought of bringing her over for dinner," he said.

"Hmm. I see," then she paused. "What do you think about her?" She asked all of a sudden.

Yi Minsheng's once closed eyes opened once she finished speaking. He furrowed his brows and turned so that he could see his mother's face.

"What? I just asked a question. There is no need for you to look at me like that," she defended herself innocently.

"What do you mean by what do I think about her?" He asked her back.

"Simple. Just tell me what you think about her as a whole. I mean on all levels. You do not have to say anything if you do not want to. I would pressure you-"

"Stop acting like you are so righteous, mum."

"Then tell me what you think about her,"she probed.

"Sigh. Ruolan is okay." He said.

"So you guys are on last name bases, hmm? And okay is too ambiguous," she teased and probed for more words to come out of his mouth.

"Oh come on mum," he groaned in frustration.

"What? What is come on? What did I say wrong? I just think Ruolan being okay means so many things," She stilled played the innocent card and it annoyed Yi Minsheng.

"When I say okay, I mean she is a good friend."

"Uh huh. What else?"

"Sigh. She is diligent in her work, she is smart. She is sociable and she is always cheerful," Yi Minsheng listed what and what he thought about Wei Ruolan.

"Just those.. What about her looks? And her smile? And her figure? And whatnot," Mrs Yi asked not feeling satisfied with her son's comment.
