"Eventually we did it."

It was like the gla.s.s veil covering Li Jing"s eyes or ear just shattered immediately she heard Yin Lifen say that.

"You what?"

"Yeah. We did it." Her friend looked like a happy child as she spoke currently.

It really was something else watching Yin Lifen. It felt like she was in love already but Li Jing found it hard to believe any of such.

"Wow." Those were the only words Li Jing could utter in response to the words she just heard.

"Yes. It was great, Jing Jing. It was mind blowing. It actually made me wonder why I didn"t do that on the first day."

"Yin Lifen!"

"Calm down. I had a nice time and for that first week we were always together. It was why I couldn"t come. I knew you would have Ye Cheng or Tang Zixin with you and you wouldn"t have my time while I found someone who did. So forgive me, I chose pleasure over friendship. A stupid decision I made."

Li Jing shook her heard at Yin Lifen. "No girlfriend. That was not a stupid decision. At some point maybe, but you were happy. Always chase your happiness first."

"But now he is gone and the friendship I ignored is the one here for me."

"Do not beat yourself up, Fen Fen. I am not complaining."

"But I spoke horribly to you."

"Yes you did and I did also."

"I was just sad, too sad with what happened," Yin Lifen confessed.

"That is true. What exactly happened that your sweet romance changed?"

"It took some days before I found out that he had a girlfriend. More of a fiancé, though. They are in a really serious relationship."

"Oh my goodness!" Li Jing"s hands moved on their own and covered her parted lips. That must have hurt a lot. It was no wonder Yin Lifen acted that way. She was in severe heart pain.

"Oh my goodness!" Li Jing"s hands moved on their own and covered her parted lips. That must have hurt a lot. It was no wonder Yin Lifen acted that way. She was in severe heart pain.

Li Jing who should have sensed that something was wrong couldn"t and attacked her as well, telling her she would leave her.

Ever since that day that she cut the call, she should have tried tracking her or searching her out.

"I am sorry, Fen Fen. No one should ever have to go through that or suffer worse ever again. I do not know why some guys are scoundrels. How could he do that to his so called fiancé when their relationship was close?"

"Li Jing…"

"Why play with a girl"s heart this way?"

"He stayed days with you and paid for your hotel or weren"t you guys in an hotel/"

"Umm we were, I also went to his house. He took me there."

"Didn"t something smell fishy to you? I mean it could have shown one way or the other," Li Jing questioned.

"Sure. I suspected that he may have someone he is seeing."

"Then why still go ahead with it? Is that how much you are desperate to be hurt?"

"No. But I was happy being with him. It is not easy when you have found that someone that truly cares and all that. I do not know if you understand me."

"I do. I know. I understand you. But I am not happy seeing you like this. Just take a good look at you dear… You are looking like a mess. Is he really worth this your tears and pain, Fen Fen?"

"Honestly Li Jing, he is."

"How is that even possible?"

"How is it possible for you to love Ye Cheng even after everything his presence brings hmm?"

She had a point that Li Jing could not easily dispute even though she wanted to but unlike hers that she feel for a guy who had a fiancé, Ye Cheng wasn"t engaged with anyone just that the problems around him still screamed at her.

"He may have so much problems around him but he is not dationg anyone else one. Secondly, it was still because of some of the problems I said we should go our separate ways."

Seeing that Li Jing had all it took to respond to her questions, Yin Lifwen gave up and just looked at her friend.

"It wasn"t easy. But I found himand I was willing to take the riskj with him."

"I do not blame you and I am glad you founds happiness noi matter how short the time frame was."

"It wasn"t like he left me, he apologized and pleaded but I wouldn"t have it."

"You left him!" Okay, Li Jing did not see that coming. Never did she expect for the outcome to be like that.

"Yes I did. Who wouldn"t after what they had found out? My heart couldn"t take it much again and I knew I had to save her before I crush her and so, against his plea I left, leaving him with no clue of my being."

"Oh, Yin Lifen… I am so sorry love. I am here. Come into my arms baby."

"Li Jing! For once I wanted that joy like the one I see when I look into your eyes. It was effect of Ye Cheng being around you. Why can"t I have that?"

"You can and you would. It is hidden inside of you just waiting for the person to bring it out," Li Jing replied her calmly.

"Okay… I hope I get that someday."

"You would, Fen Fen. You would." Minutes later both of them remained in their hugging position.

"I need a break… Like an escape portal," Yin Lifen lamented out loud.

Ding!

Like a small bell in Li Jing"s mind, she recalled something important, causing her lips to push up into a charming smile as she patted her friend"s back comfortingly.

"How about an invitation?"

"Huh?" Yin Lifen pulled back and stared into her friend"s charming eyes.

"How about an invitation to a vacation?"
