CHAPTER 277
Regardless of what she thought he chose to avoid voicing out his admiration as the last thing that he wanted was for her to get angry like she did the first time.
He knew that she was gentle and kind and all that but that did not change the fact that she could sometimes have a fiery spirit and one that no one would want to temper with.
Before long, they were already counting a night and some hours to their vacation proper. Li Jing was more than glad as it would give her time to blend with Yin Lifen and help her friend even while she was working.
Yin Lifen on the other hand was a bit nervous about the whole vacation but happy that she could watch her friend work and possibly help her.
It was her healing process and one that she needed to catch her breath and dive right in.
At night on the eve of their travelling, Li Jing and Yin Lifen had a sleepover in her room and got talking.
This time the topic or the subject of their discussion was Ye Cheng.
"Why haven't you called him Li Jing?"
"Huh? What?" Li Jing's eyes widened a bit. It was as though she had just heard something Absurd or she saw a ghost.
"Do not give me that look like you do not know what I am talking about," Yin Lifen warned her.
"What look? I do not know what you are talking about Fen Fen," Li Jing denied and dropped her phone.
"Is that so?" She gave Li Jing that I caught you look then straightened her back so she was now looking like a teacher about to scold her pupil.
"What's with that posture?"
"Is it getting you uncomfortable?" Yin Lifen asked in a domineering manner.
"Not in the slightest, Fen Fen. You over thought."
"Ohh… Okay. You miss him, so much."
"Miss who?"
"You know who. You cannot take your eyes off his picture and what is worse is that you keep checking your call history for his call and messages for his message. Am I right or am I right?"
Li Jing could not answer her and this wasn't because her friend was telling a lie but she was actually telling the truth. Still, she never wanted to give Yin Lifen the satisfaction of that.
"I cannot count how many times I caught you going to your chat with him and reading it again, then checking if he is online or not. Admit it, Li Jing, you miss him so much."
"Fine."
"It is not enough to just say fine, Li Jing. You want him. Kill your pride and call him."
"Am I the only one who is missing him? Shouldn't he also miss me as well?"
Yin Lifen smiled at her friend. "Of course he misses you."
"Then why hasn't he called?"
"Because, the normal you won't pick up your call one, secondly you are busy with your grandfather's business. Given what little I have known from Ye Cheng, he would not want to be a distraction to you and let you be, in hopes that you would call when you are less busy."
"I doubt."
"Which of course would have been good, if you kick your womanly pride and call the dude. Or don't you miss him? Don't you miss his kisses/"
"I do." Her voice was low and calm that Yin Lifen could barely hear her.
"You said? You are not even sure of yourself if you miss, love and want him, Li Jing."
"I do. I miss him."
"Louder, Li Jing."
"I do!" Li Jing yelled at the top of her voice. "I do, okay. I miss him. All of him even though he can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I still miss him so much."
"Then what are you waiting for? Prove it, Li Jing, call him. Call Ye Cheng." As Yin Lifen spoke, a blossoming smile enveloped her lips. She was happy for her friend. Mega happy in fact.
She was happy Li Jing found a man who cherished her and she also knew that he was holding back, well both of them were.
Left to Yin Lifen, none of them should wait for the other to say they loved each other first and should just go in for it and love themselves.
Never had she seen her friend this happy or excited over a guy, not even when she dated the scumbag Duna Tian.
But now, ever since she met Ye Cheng, she had just been like a newly blossoming flower. So ripe and beautiful. The perfect example of how her friend was.
"Your body reacts only to him, your body tingles and gets excited when you hear his name and voice. He has been the only one to make my Li Jing eager for a new romance and he is…"
'That is enough Yin Lifen. I would call him." Her cheeks had turned red all of a sudden just because her friend mentioned the inevitable… the best thing that had happened to her life.
Without further ado, Li Jing picked back her phone as Yin Lifen kept shut and went to her contact log to dial his number.
As soon as the phone began to ring, her breathing stopped. In as much as she wanted to breathe, she just couldn't anymore.
She did not understand what was happening whether it was from overexcitement or something and by the time the call went ended and he did not answer, her body found the ability to breathe again.
"Ahh…" Yin Lifen did not understand what happened. Watching her friend just now felt like she was about to suffocate.
"Call him again."
"No… I can't. I am…"
"You are too excited. Call him again and calm down. Better still, ask him to go on this vacation with you. Have time to bond with him."
'I would just send him a text Fen Fen… I am not feeling okay. My heartbeat increased and I stopped breathing. I am thinking of texting him is best. Besides, he could be very busy now."
Sigh!
