A billion thoughts appeared in his mind, and Fung Qi-Wei's words replay in his thoughts. "You kissed her... You kissed her... You kissed her..." Yang Tian-Xu's eyes remained opened wide for the longest time. Then he turned his head to face Fung Qi-Wei. "I did what?" he asked, as he became confused. Too shocked to believe it, as he thought to himself, "Who did I kissed?"
Fung Qi-Wei's voice sounded calm, it was like he could read Yang Tian-Xu's thoughts, and said it like it was not a big deal. "You kissed her, Wang Yi-An."
Once again, Yang Tian-Xu's body froze. He couldn’t move, his mind went blank, as he could recall what had happened last night. Yang Tian-Xu felt like his world had crumbled down before his eyes. It's not that he didn’t want to kiss her, he wanted it to be more romantic. Not when he was drunk!
The worst part was that he had failed to remember it, their first kiss! He had everything planned out, roses, presents, and he would have already confessed his feelings for her, but no. It wasn't like how he wanted it to be. Yang Tian-Xu buried himself in his thoughts. He tried his best to recall last night’s memory. Yet, It was fruitless.
“Oh my God!!!” He screamed as he ruffled his hair and paced around in a circle. “What did I do!!!!?” Yang Tian-Xu wanted to pull out all of his hair. Then suddenly, he heard a subtle laugh, he stopped to look over at Fung Qi-Wei as he saw the guy; trying to hold in his laughter.
Fung Qi-Wei cleared out his voice, and he said, "Ah, don’t worry. It wasn’t that bad."
It wasn't that bad? Those words were worse than he could imagine. A shattered dream, broken to little pieces. Yang Tian-Xu was a romantic, he wanted to have a perfect first kiss with the woman he loves most in the entire world. Wang Yi-An.
"Please…" Yang Tian-Xu had never thought he would beg anyone in his life. Yang Tian-Xu was a man born and raised in an authoritative household. The Yang family had everything; power and wealth. He never needed to beg for anything in his life. But now, he; Yang Tian-Xu, had lowered his head and begged a stranger for the truth. In a soft, and low volume voice, he begged Fung Qi-Wei, "Please, tell me what happened..."
With the sincere expression on Yang Tian-Xu's face, Fung Qi-Wei could no longer make fun of him. Unexpected for Fung Qi-Wei to see a wealthy and powerful person like Yang Tian-Xu; begged him.
Even though, Yang Tian-Xu wasn’t on his knees to beg. However, his pleading words make Fung Qi-Wei felt like Yang Tian-Xu was a sincere man. He took a deep breath and told him the truth.
"Well, after you drank the shot. You blanked out for a while. You didn’t even move. An-An became worried about you two boys, so she walked over to check and see if you guys were all right. But then you--"
However, just as Fung Qi-Wei was about to get to the crucial details, Wang Yi-An had knocked on the door. "I’m coming in." She said as she opened the door. She saw the two of them standing in one place, and in her hands held another tray, with two hot bowls of ginger soup.
Then for a second as her eyes met with Yang Tian-Xu, she blushed and turned away. Wang Yi-An tried to avoid direct eye contact with him. As she remembered about the previous position he was in with Fung Qi-Wei. Wang Yi-An placed the tray next to Jin Qi-Long’s clothes, “Um… Drink some ginger soup. It should help with the hangover.” And then she walked out as she closed the door behind her.
The entire time, Wang Yi-An avoided Yang Tian-Xu’s eyes. It gave Yang Tian-Xu a thought, “Did I do something bad?”
Certain he had done something wrong without realising it, he wondered. "Did I confess to her while I was drunk?" Frustration filled his thoughts with doubts, "Did I force myself on to her?" He screamed and shout as he won't be able to forgive himself if he had done anything to hurt her. He felt fear, afraid of finding out the truth. Worried that he might have forced himself on Wang Yi-An, he can't live with those thoughts. He'll hate himself forever!
As Yang Tian-Xu screamed, while he drowns in his misery, he grabbed onto Fung Qi-Wei's shoulders and shouted, "Tell me what happened!"
Fung Qi-Wei smirked and continued as Yang Tian-Xu gave him a violent shake. “You fainted and collapsed on top of her.”
Yang Tian-Xu stopped and paused for a moment as he let go of Fung Qi-Wei and thought out loud, "That’s… That’s all?"
"What else were you expecting?" Fung Qi-Wei looked at Yang Tian-Xu and smirked at him. "Well, when you fainted on top of her, your lips touched her cheek." He said as he pointed to his right cheek.
Both of Yang Tian-Xu's cheeks turned red as he saw Fung Qi-Wei gestured. Yang Tian-Xu thought, “I kissed her cheek?” He covered his mouth with his hands and thought again. “I… Kissed… Her…”
Yang Tian-Xu's flushed red cheeks had made Fung Qi-Wei certain about one thing. "You must really like An-An." Fung Qi-Wei was direct about it when he asked Yang Tian-Xu. "How much do you like her?"
Without hesitation, he nodded as he blushed, "I do. I like her a lot!" he was red like a beet.
It was obvious, and Fung Qi-Wei noticed how Yang Tian-Xu felt towards Wang Yi-An. Fung Qi-Wei was sharp and wise, he could easily figure out Yang Tian-Xu's feelings from last night when he glared at her. Fung Qi-Wei knew it from the first time he saw how Yang Tian-Xu kept staring at Wang Yi-An.
However, even though Yang Tian-Xu made his feelings towards Wang Yi-An obvious, believing is one thing, yet, he felt the need to warn Yang Tian-Xu. He had a serious expression on his face as he said, "An-An is a simple girl. She lives a simple life with her mother, and she'll want nothing more in her life than a happy home."
Yang Tian-Xu stood still and listened as he cools down his embarrassed emotions. He looked up at Fung Qi-Wei and listened to his words with great interest. Fung Qi-Wei continued as he stared at Yang Tian-Xu in the eyes. "You are somebody; your world are different compare to hers. Could you truly bring her happiness?"
"What do you mean?"
Yang Tian-Xu paused for a moment as he thought about Fung Qi-Wei’s words. He wanted to tell Fung Qi-Wei that he can be certain he'll be able to make Wang Yi-An happy, but… Could he honestly guarantee it?
Fung Qi-Wei looked at how serious Yang Tian-Xu looked, as he stood still in one place, unmoving. Yang Tian-Xu had an earnest expression on his face, it made Fung Qi-Wei smiled at Yang Tian-Xu and said, "I’m sure your parents or family members would prefer you to marry a more suitable heiress. An-An is nobody."
"But.."
The only three-letter words he could let out of his stunned emotion. He wanted to say so much more. He wanted to say, "But, I only have feelings for Wang Yi-An!" or "She's the only one I love!" However, he can't seem to say anything else, and remained silent and listened to every words Fung Qi-Wei had to say.
"Mr Yang, you're not just wealthy but also a handsome man. I'm sure the feelings you think you have for An-An now is love. But, what about the future? What if later you realised that all the feelings you thought you had for her were only because you wanted to try something different? She's new and entertaining for you now because she's different compare to all the heiress you met. If that was true, you'll only be toying with her heart."
“I’m not like that!” Yang Tian-Xu shouted out. He was confident he isn't someone like that!
