Chapter 16 : Confession

Chen Li Xue was teaching when she was chatting with Tian Dong Hai. That day was very hot that she felt so stuffy. Thankfully, the students that she was teaching were quiet smart that she didn't need to be so emotional.

She didn't know since when, but she had been looking for topics to talk to Tian Dong Hai. In the other hand, Tian Dong Hai kept on ending their conversation shortly.

That day, she didn't know where she got the courage from. She replied 'If you replied so, how do you expect me to reply ?'

However, her courage got no positive feedback. She was angry, but she knew that she got no rights. Who was she to be angry to him ? She could only buy an ice -cream and eat it to calm herself.

For several nights after that chat, she would cry. Till one day, she decided to let go. She wanted to confess about her feelings in order to let go.

She told Tian Dong Hua that she wanted to meet him but she would like to meet him alone. That was after she declined Tian Dong Hua's invitations to meet before he flew to B City.

"I guess, you know why I would like to meet you alone.", she started the conversation.

"Um", Tian Dong Hua nodded.

"I have feelings for you, but I say so not to ask for you to reciprocate. I'm a selfish person so I do not want feel bad myself. Even if you do not have feelings for me, you will feel burdened as well. So, I just want to confess in order to diminish any lingering feelings that I will have in the future."

"Have you ever thought that if you confessed, then we might be in a relationship ?"

"No, because you have proved that you don't have the same feeling as me"

"Which proof?"

"You didn't look for me after that chat after I have lay down my card."

"I was busy taking care of my mom after my dad's funeral"

"You could have texted me after that day. No, I silently gave a week to look for me, but you didn't."

"My bad"

"I'm looking for someone that can communicate with me either in good or bad. I do not want to live as a mind reader.", she then continued " honestly, tell me. have you ever liked me during this time ?"

Tian Dong Hua nodded. "I thought to confess,but my dad has just passed away so I thought to take it slow. When I thought for the second time, I had been selected to be mutated."

Chen Li Xue smiled . "It's more than enough."

"We always meet at the wrong time."

Chen Li Xue agreed. They had missed once when they were in high school. This time,they missed each other again, proved that they were not meant to be.

"If.. If .. in the future, we meet again. Will we be together ?", Tian Dong Hua asked.

"This time I confess so that I do not hope for that if. Let's be friends. I confess in order not to lose such a good friend."

However, Chen Li Xue didn't realize that they could only be strangers in the future and that was the last time they met each other.
