The Devil’s love

After the incident, Liying felt very embarrassed and bad for making Yitian feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, she also felt very bad and hurt when she learnt that he doesn't feel the same for her like she does.

She liked Yitian, she liked him a lot. He was kind, loving, caring and had everything a girl looks for in her potential boyfriend. But the fact that he didn't like her back hurt her alot. This is why she decided to stay away from him for some time to sort out her emotions. She didn't want her one sided liking to come in between their friendship. But all her attempts were useless because she couldn't stop thinking about him even for a second. ​​

"Liying? Are you listening?"

Coming out of her daze, she slowly nodded her head. "Yes, what were you saying again?"

"I said, why don't we go to the park first? You can call your friend at night," Carl suggested.

"Umm I want to call him first because—" She stopped midway when a balck car pulled over.

"Do you guys have guests coming over?" Carl inquired.

Liying nodded her head and answered, "Yes, it's dad's—" she scrunched her brows when the car door opened and someone stepped out.

Dressed in a black trench coat, paired with a set of grey jeans and white t-shirt, Yitian stepped out of the car. His face was flushed red because of the low temperature. His hair was a bit messy because of the long journey but that didn't stop him from looking like a heartthrob.

Running his fingers through his hair, he grabbed his bag and was about to walk towards the mansion when he saw someone. His hands froze and his legs turned numb when he saw her. He was there to see her but did not accept to see her as soon as he arrived there.

Liying on the other hand couldn't contain her excitement after seeing him. She wasn't expecting to see him here and wasn't even expecting his arrival.

"Yitian—" she muttered before rushing towards him. Stopping right in front of him, she stretched her hands towards him but immediately retrieved it back. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she gave him a weak smile. "Hi—"

The awkward greeting pinched Yitian's heart. Without saying anything, he dropped his bag on the floor and pulled her into his embrace. Closing his eyes, he sighed, "I missed you so much."

Taken aback by the sudden hug, Liying froze for a couple of seconds before returning the warm embrace. "I missed you too."

"Don't ever leave me alone like this," he exclaimed before hugging her tightly. When was the last time he felt so peaceful? The presence of Liying in his arms felt so right and satisfying at the same time.

Pulling away, she excitedly exclaimed, "I didn't know you were coming." Grabbing his hand, she guided him inside. "Let's go in, you have to meet my grandparents."

"Wait—" Stopping her, he looked at Carl who was staring at them. "Were you going somewhere with your friend?"

"Just for a walk, we all can go together after sometime," she answered before taking him inside.

…..

Inside the mansion.

"You must be Mo Yitian," Grandpa Wang remarked.

Yitian smiled and greeted him. "Yes sir—"

"You don't have to be so formal, call me grandpa—everyone calls me that here."

"Look at him, such a handsome young man," Grandma Wang gasped. "You look like your brother."

"Both of them look like their father," grandpa Wang commented. "When my son told me you are coming here, I wondered why young kids like you would want to visit this place."

"Liying always told me how beautiful this town is and since she was also here, I thought it would be a nice time to come here for a vacation," Yitian explained.

"Young man, are you trying to say that you are here only for my granddaughter?" Grandpa Wang teased him.

Flustered by the sudden comment, Yitian could not say anything. He awkwardly scratched his head and cleared his throat.

"Grandpa—" To make things less awkward, Liying quickly said, "I'll show Yitian his room."

After they left, grandpa Wang chuckled, "So this is what your granddaughter was missing since the day she came here."

"She looks so happy, don't you think they look cute together as well?" grandma Wang excitedly asked.

"They are still small but they do look good together."

…..

Yitian's room.

"My room is right next to yours, just call me if you need anything." Looking at the empty water jug, Liying added, "I'll get some water for you."

Grabbing her hand, Yitian stopped her. "Let's talk first." He wanted to clear out all the misunderstanding first before telling her how he feels the same for her. He wanted to tell her how much he missed her and so many other things.

"Okay," she quickly agreed. Even she wanted to talk to him and apologize for making him feel awkward.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yitian took a deep breath before explaining his inappropriate actions. "That day—"

Cutting him off, she explained, "What happened that day—you must have felt very awkward after that. I had no intention of making you feel that way but—" Stopping midway, she sighed, "I am really sorry."

"You don't have to apologize," he stated before grabbing her hand. "After what happened in the cafeteria, I became very nervous. I didn't understand how I was supposed to react to it. Though you are very important to me, I couldn't think straight and ended up telling that shit to you. I know I have hurt you a lot Liying and I seriously feel very bad for it."

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Since the day you left, I have been having a really hard time. I can't sleep, eat, or drink without thinking about you. It's just been very insane and I have lost all my sanity."

Author's Note:

Just to let you know that it's been really tough for me these days. Too many things are going on and not to forget about the on-going pandemic. I am just trying very hard to stay sane and not take any stress.

I also understand it's quite frustrating to wait for updates but I am trying my best. I will try to update more chapters whenever I can.

I will drop more chapters today and tomorrow as it's the weekend and I am completely free.

I am really grateful for your patience :)

Love,
