Why Don’t We Give It a Try?

Wang Yi Ling slowly opened her eyes. She turned to her side and realized it was already dark outside. She slowly sat up on her bed trying to recall the events that led her to the hotel. From the argument with her mother to her encounter with Chen Yi and…

Oh, was I crying on his shoulder earlier? Why do I have no recollection about it? She sighed heavily.

She quickly got off the bed and went to the bathroom. She studied her reflection on the big mirror. Dark circles appeared under her eyes, indicated she had cried, maybe a little bit too hard, she thought. She splashed the warm water to her face and got refreshed.

She was just finished her shower when she heard the bell rang. After she took one last glance at her reflection on the mirror, she adjusted her bathrobe and made her way to the door. Peeped through the peephole, she saw it was Chen Yi and swiftly opened the door for him.

"You're here," she said in cheery tone. Chen Yi smiled sweetly at her and made his way in. in his hands were some food containers.

"And these are?" she looked at Chen Yi, puzzled. Couldn't they just make some room service to order the food? He had actually went out and bought food for her! She was speechless by the way he acted.

"I brought some food for you. Come, let's eat together," He replied and placed all the containers on the coffee table. Seeing her still stood stationary by the door, he gently led her to sit on the couch. Wang Yi Ling studied him for a while before she sighed internally. Deep within her, she was trying to calm her beating heart. The more she spent her times with Chen Yi, the more she became lost. Losing her heart, that's for sure.

The two of them ate their food quietly. From time to time, Chen Yi would place some foods in her bowl. He was obviously worried about her. Wang Yi Ling just watched him to put the foods in her bowl. She found it too difficult for her to eat all the food that she quietly put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm full." She mumbled. Chen Yi followed suit, put his own bowl and chopstick. He then poured some juice into the glass and passed it to her. In her haste to accept the glass, she accidentally spilled the glass on his jeans.

"Oh, I'm sorry…" she apologized and without she realized, she had used her own hand to rub off the stain on his juice. Chen Yi was stunned momentarily, because Wang Yi Ling had accidentally rubbing on his sensitive part. He quickly held her hands from moving around, and looked into her eyes.

"It's not a big deal," he said, his voice hoarse. Wang Yi Ling looked at him too, studied his expression. She quickly retrieved her hand that was in his hold and stood straight. She was about to go the bathroom when Chen Yi called her.

"Yi Ling, where are you going?" she stopped on her track.

"To get some tissue and a towel for you," she replied without turning her head towards him. Truth to be told, she could feel her cheek burning hot because she just realized what had she did just now. Thus, she had quickly decided to escape with the pretense of getting tissue and towel for him.

Damn! What have I done? She scolded herself. But my poor heart really can't stand it anymore. Wang Yi Ling, why don't you just tell him already? That you love him too. It's not difficult right? Just say it and be done with it.

Wang Yi Ling stared blankly at her reflection on the mirror with her hand on her chest, without realizing that Chen Yi was leaned against the door, watching her intently. He was amused with the way she acted. After what it seemed like an eternity she had finally came around her senses and quickly grabbed the towel on the rack. When she turned around, she saw Chen Yi was stood at the bathroom door.

"Er… Here, take this and wipe that stain on your jeans," she hurriedly put the towel on his hands and tried to walk pass him when he suddenly held her waist. Her heart became frantic by the intimate gesture. Then, Chen Yi wrapped her in his arms, placed his head on her shoulder, inhaling her scent. Her body became stiff.

"Chen Yi…"she whispered his name. Chen Yi hugged her even tighter than before. It was as if he was trying to blend into one with her. Wang Yi Ling became speechless.

"Chen Yi… I'm thirsty. I want to drink," she mumbled softly. Only then Chen Yi released her from his arms.

"Sorry." He apologized before he went into the bathroom. Wang Yi Ling blinked her eyes before she regained her senses. She hurriedly went to fetch herself a glass of juice. One glass… Two glasses… Her heart still beating frantically at the scene flashed in her mind. She turned to the mini fridge and took a can of beer. She gulped down almost half of it. She also went to the balcony of the hotel. Letting the night breeze to clear her head and calm her nerves.

She was still in dazed when Chen Yi joined her, in his bathrobe as well. He was holding a can of beer too. Wang Yi Ling turned her gaze at him and studied him for a few good minutes.

"Chen Yi… Thanks for being here for me. You never knew that I really need someone to talk to," she began to speak. She looked at the beer in her hand before took a sip of it.

"Today, I argued with my mother alongside Sis Yi Mei due to some differences in the way we think of some matter. I knew I shouldn't act the way I did earlier, but I couldn't stand it. She finally gave us the choices, either to follow her way or we will never step back into the mansion again," her voice shook, completely dejected.

"And I know I've broken her heart when I took the decision to go against her wills. Am I being an unfilial daughter by doing this?" she wondered. Chen Yi instinctively held her close to his side. He didn't want to see her so brokenhearted by the event.

"No, you're not dear," Chen Yi whispered on top of her head. He gazed into the night and pondered what should he do for his love.

"I'm not your dear…" she murmured quietly. But Chen Yi caught her words. He gently smiled at her.

"You are my dear." Chen Yi turned to face her. Lovingly gazed into her eyes before he added, "I told you before. I love you and I really mean it. If you ever needed someone to talk to, I'm here for you," Wang Yi Ling stunned momentarily. She long thought that he was not serious by what he said back then. She lowered her head.

"I'm tired…" she said at the end. Chen Yi led her back to the bed and both of them sat down, side by side. After a while, Wang Yi Ling laid down on the bed, blankly stared at the ceiling. Chen Yi quickly covered her with the blanket. It was then she held his hand, there was longing in her eyes that made Chen Yi stunned.

"What will happen between you and me?" she asked, curious. Chen Yi smiled brightly at her question. Could it be that she is in the end reciprocate my feeling? He thought.

"Depend with you and your respond," he replied, his voice was husky and gentle. Wang Yi Ling blinked her eyes in confusion. After he said that, he turned around and was about to leave when Wang Yi Ling said, "I don't want to be alone…"

Chen Yi froze. I don't want to be alone… Don't want to be alone… Alone… Does that mean she is ready to be my girlfriend? He suddenly felt he was in heaven!

"Why don't we give it a try?"
