The Devil’s love

Pulling away, Ning asked, "Are your insecurities gone or do I have to say something else?"

Vigorously shaking his head, grandpa Yang answered, "No, you don't have to say anything else, I have understood you love me more than you love that Jiang old man. Let him come, I will show him his right place." ​​

"Now I don't want you to create any trouble or pick up a fight with anyones in the party, okay?"

Scrunching his brows, he complained, "But why? Do you know what he told—"

Cutting him off, she sighed, "Grandpa, listen to me first. It doesn't matter what he told or did, I am throwing this party because I want everyone to eat dinner together and have fun. I don't want anyone to spoil the mood."

Left with no other choice, he reluctantly agreed. "Fine, I'll listen to you."

"Good, now wait here for sometime I'll go get a drink and some snacks for you."

Looking around, he inquired, "Where is Yichan?"

��I think he is in Yitian's room."

...

Yitian's room.

Crossing his arms in the front, Yichan inquired, "What happened?"

"Hmm nothing."

"Then why are you not eating properly these days and I heard you are not going to college regularly as well." When Yitian did not say anything, he added, "If you tell me what happened, I might be able to help."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yitian slowly shook his head. "Everything is okay."

Staring at him for quite some time, Yichan sighed. He knew something was wrong with him but since Yitian didn't want to talk about it, he did not force him to say anything. "Alright, since you are saying everything is okay, I don't have anything to worry about. Ning is really worried about you, she thinks something has happened and you are reluctant to talk about it. You shouldn't stay in the room all day, it will hamper your health. Go for a walk in the garden and eat on time, you are a young boy, you shouldn't skip meals."

"Okay brother Yichan, I am sorry for making you worried."

"It's alright." Pausing for a while, he added, "There is a party in the house today, make sure you come down and greet everyone, okay?"

"Okay."

Patting his shoulder, Yichan remarked, "Take care and stop stressing about things. Talk to me if something is bothering you. I'll go help Ning now, freshen up and come down."

After he left, Yitian slumped on the bed and grabbed his phone. Looking at the multiple unanswered messages he had sent Liying over the past few months, he sighed in dejection.

It had been three months since he had seen or talked to her. Things weren't the same after she left, the sudden loneliness he had been feeling was hard to express. He had stopped going to college, whenever he did he missed her a lot and he felt extremely sad. Though she had asked him not to call or text her, he did and not just once, many times but she never responded which made him feel even more awful.

Yitian always knew Liying was special for him but he had no idea until now that she had such a huge impact on his life and in his heart. That day when she suddenly confessed in front of him, he freaked out and ran away. He also told her he wasn't ready to be in a relationship but now he regretted everything. He regretted not expressing his feelings to her, he regretted not begging her to stay and not leave her alone. He regretted each and everything.

He wanted to talk to her and tell her how important she and how much she means to him but was it late? What if she has already found someone else? What if she doesn't have feelings for him anymore? What if she has started hating him?

There were so many possibilities the mere thought of which was killing and making him feel restless. He knew he had made a mistake by acting like an idiot but he wasn't ready to pay such a huge price for that. He couldn't lose Liying because if he did, he knew he would end up regretting it for the rest of his life.

Sitting up straight, he grabbed his phone and sent her another text.

[Need to talk, call me ASAP]

After sending the message, he thought for a while before sending another text.

[I miss you :( ]

...

Downstairs.

"Did you talk to him?"

Yichan nodded his head and answered, "I did, he said it's nothing." Scrunching his brows, he added, "I think he is lying."

'

"Of course he is." Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "Do you think I should talk to him?"

"Hmm maybe you should. You both are quite close, maybe he will share his problem with you."

"I made his favourite steak today, he will be happy. I'll talk to him after the party." When Ziying told her that Liying had gone out of station for a few months all of a sudden, Ning had already guessed something had happened between her and Yitian but she never asked him about it because she didn't want to interfere in his private matters. If Yitian told her about it, she would definitely knock some sense in his head and help him out.

Hugging her from behind, Yichan frowned, "You made everyone's favorite, where is mine?"

"I made so many pancakes for you in the morning, wasn't that enough?' When he shook his head, she sighed, "Fine, what do you wanna have?"

Kissing her nape, he grinned, "You."

Turning around, she hooked her arms around his neck. "Hmm I will make sure that happens after everyone is gone."

"I wish I could cancel this party and take you away from here."

Giving him a peck on the lips, she smiled, "Everyone will leave soon." Inching closer, she whispered, "And we have all night."

"Oh God, will you two ever stop."

Looking at the door, Ning chuckled, "You are supposed to knock if you don't wanna witness something you don't want to."

"For your kind information, this is a kitchen." Walking towards them, Nuying added, "Why am I supposed to knock when I enter the kitchen?"

"Is Muchan here too?' Yichan inquired.

She nodded her head and answered, "Yes, he is outside with Grandpa Yang, his grandpa and mine."

"I'll go greet everyone, do you want my help with anything?" he asked.

"No, you should go out first. Nuying is here now, she will help me out," Ning remarked.

"Yes, don't worry about that."

After Yichan left, Nuying placed her hand on Ning's shoulder. "Did Mei call you?"

She nodded her head and answered, "She did."

"What did she tell you?"

"She told me there is good news but she will tell us after we meet in person," Ning answered.

"Exactly, she told me the same thing. I even told her to give me hints but she asked me to wait without getting impatient."

Thinking for a while, Ning added, "Maybe she won a lottery or something."

"I guess."

Grabbing her phone, she said, "Let me call her and ask where she is."

"Call Ziying as well, when is she coming?"

Scrunching her brows, Ning answered, "Ziying is not coming, she told me she has an important meeting today in the evening."

"Oh, is Chen coming?" Nuying inquired.

"Yes and he is not coming alone." Without waiting for her reply, she added, "He is bringing someone."

"What? Who?"

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "I have no idea."

"But I thought he and Ziying were a thing by now."

"Hmmm, even I thought so but apparently it's not something like that." Pausing for a while, she added, "Maybe something happened between him and Ziying."

"Yes and maybe this is why she isn't coming." Helplessly shaking her head, Nuying sighed, "They looked really cute together."

"Of course they did, let me ask Chen what happened later when I get a chance until then, let's not assume anything and spoil our mood."

Living room.

"You gotta be kidding me grandpa, how can you even say that?" Muchan frowned.

Shrugging his shoulders, grandpa Yue remarked, "Don't blame me, who told you to behave like a monk in your youth?"

"I was too busy studying at that time, how do you expect me to focus on my studies and also date at the same time?"
