Chapter 108: The long talk (1):

The words that came out of his mouth shocked me to the core. I never imagined that Song Ze Yu liked me, or maybe I did. Now that I think about it, everything makes sense. It was so obvious that Song Ze Yu liked me. No wonder why Song Ze Lian would say that both her brothers fell for the same person. The more that I thought about this, the more it makes sense. It was like a puzzle finally forming a piece in my mind. All of the previous signs I've ignored, I feel like an idiot right now. How exactly am I meant to deal with this situation? 

Song Ze Yu looked at me and chuckled. If I had a mirror right now I think I would look very shocked. "You see your own face," he teased as I looked away blushing in embarrassment. "I never knew you liked me," I mumbled, "Maybe I did but I always thought it was just innocent friendship,". Song Ze Yu smiled and looked a bit depressed for a second. 

 "Ze Yu, I never thought of you in that way. I'm sure you know. I always treated you as my close friend and older brother," I announced as he nodded. "I know, but I don't want to be only your close friend or your older brother. I want to be the person you wish to talk to every morning. I want to be the person you look forward to seeing. I want to be that person you hold close to your heart. Hui Qing I really really like you. I've liked you since the moment I've known you. I have liked you for years," he announced as I blushed.

Gosh, the words coming out of his mouth can make my heart beat so much. It's making me feel so confused yet so happy at the same time. I never thought I would have this feeling towards him. What exactly is wrong with me? I thought I liked his brother. Is it because of his face? Is that the reason why my heart is beating so fast? I know I like Song Ze Lin but somehow in this situation, I don't think I'm having these feelings because of their similar face. What exactly is going on with me? I don't understand any of these feelings. Do I even want to understand them? 

"Ze Yu... I..." I began however he interrupted me saying "Actually I've liked you for a long time. I don't know if you've noticed me or noticed how much I like you. Of course, people say you can't hide how much you like someone just by looking at their eyes. Maybe you don't see it, or maybe I just don't know how to like someone. But right now I understand that now I like you very much. More than anything.

This confession may have come a little too suddenly. Don't think about how to reject me yet, I've been thinking about this confession for a long time. I have decided to say it tonight because I don't want to lose you. Just thinking about you getting married to Qi Yan gets on my nerves far too much.

Please don't have a psychological burden, if you can accept me, of course, it's a very happy thing. If you reject me, I will accept it calmly. After all, we will always be good friends, no matter what. So Hui Qing what do you think?" Song Ze Yu asked as he looked at me with those eyes. 

Oh my god. I have no clue what I should say. His eyes are the most prettiest things ever. I never seemed to have noticed how pretty his eyes were. But tonight they seem to be shining like stars. "Your eyes are really pretty," I muttered totally out of context. He looked a bit taken aback but still laughed. "Thank you," he replied, "So?" I knew what he was referring to but I don't know how I should reply to him. 

"Song Ze Yu, how many times have you said these words to other girls? You are saying those words far too easily for it to be your first time," I joked. He laughed and replied, "I have never dated anyone. I have liked you since we were kids, nobody else has ever caught my eyes as much as you,". I blushed at his words and turned away.
