Jin Yue couldn"t help laughing as they sat over a drink.

"Why do you keep laughing?, I"m being serious here!"

Liu Wei glared at his friend, who couldn"t keep in his laughter. Liu Wei had narrated his experience these few months to Jin Yue, he couldn"t keep it to himself again.

"Okay, okay, let"s be serious. So, you are saying for the past three to four months, she had been avoiding you?. "

Jin Yue tried being serious, he continued speaking when he noticed that Liu Wei wasn"t going to talk to him.

"Okay, let"s see... in my experience, the only reason why she would avoid you is either that, she likes you or she hates you. "

Liu Wei turned to look at his friend extremely surprised, he couldn"t believe what his friend just said.

"Are you serious? "

"Haha, don"t get so excited already, I mean, she may hate you so much, or she may like you. Haha"

Jin Yue laughed and picked up his drink to take a sip. He watched his friend"s confused expression with glee.

"So how do I know she likes me? "
Liu Wei asked, he suddenly felt hot, he quickly unhooked the first two b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt and ran a hand through his head confusedly.

Jin Yue burst out laughing, he was really enjoying the view.

"Liu Wei, the line between love and hatred is very thin, all she needs is time and it"ll be clear as crystal, haha."

After sometime he continued.
"Is she uncomfortable around you?, like is she always in a hurry to leave your presence? "

"Yes, she tries as much as possible to reduce the time she spends around me."

Liu Wei replied quickly, he was anxious to hear Jin Yue"s p.r.o.nouncement.

"Haha, okay; does she avoid eye contact with you? "

"Yes, she doesn"t even look at me in the face anymore. "

"JACKPOT! "

Jin Yue exclaimed and burst out laughing. He quickly gulped down his drink, Liu Wei looked at him confused.

"I knew that no woman on this planet earth can resist your charm. Just those mesmerizing eyes of yours is enough to take their breaths away, haha.
Liu Wei, I love to break this to you... Liling is having a crush on you. "

" "

.....

"I just imagine that I"m singing for Jin Yue, the love of my life. That"s it! "

"Nothing else? "

Liling asked. She had gone over to Xin Yong"s that Sat.u.r.day to get lessons on how to put life into her songs. She looked perplexed hearing Xin Yong"s reply.

"Yeah, when I write, I write for him, so when I sing, I imagine he"s the audience. Haha"

"That"s weird? "

"How weird?, if you want to sing a love song and you don"t have someone or something you love, you can"t flow perfectly. So the only solution to your problem is to get someone to love. "

Xin Yong rolled to her side as she laughed at her friend"s puzzled look.

"Xin Yong, why do you keep making fun of me?, it"s not fair!"

Liling exclaimed, looking dejected. Xin Yong couldn"t help but laugh. As she was about to reply her, her phone suddenly started ringing.
She picked it up and let out a sweet smile.

"Oh, the love of my life is calling. Give me a second. "

Xin Yong told Liling who rolled her eyes at her, she chuckled and swiped up, picking up the call.

"Hey.. "

Xin Yong said over the phone, her voice as coquettish as ever. Liling could hear Jin Yue"s voice over the phone, but it wasn"t on loud speaker, so she barely made out exactly what he was saying.

"Sweet, are you free now? Can I come take you out?"

Jin Yue asked lovingly and in the most endearing manner.

"My love, in as much as I want to go out with you, I"m sad to say that I"m not free, I"m hanging out with Liling. We could go out tomorrow, okay?"

There was silence over the phone for a while, then Jin Yue spoke up.

"I miss you. "
Xin Yong fell speechless when she heard him, she always had b.u.t.terflies in her tummy whenever he says sweet words to her, and no matter how many times he says it, she always felt euphoric.

"I miss you too, we"ll talk later, don"t miss me too much okay?"

"Mmm. "

After the line disconnected, Xin Yong dropped her phone, a toothy smile on her face.

Liling stared at Xin Yong as she talked over the phone, lost in thoughts.

As much as she wanted to deal with her feelings, as the days pa.s.sed by, it became difficult, and the control she had over herself was gradually seeping away.

Before, she was hiding away from him, but now, she felt like seeing him more often than usual. Though she wasn"t staying with him, she"ll intentionally watch him alight from his car and walk towards the building before she would rush to make his bath.

Other times, she"ll peek at him through her windows when he goes to work. Even when she tried to stop herself, she wouldn"t feel okay, till she had seen him.

It was getting out of hand, and she had done great by keeping it in for such a long time.

"Xin Yong, I think I"m falling for him. "
