A Bet

"I want to love you. This is my wish, " Ying Lili repeated her words and stepped closer to Sheng Li. "Will you let me love you?" She asked. 

"No," Sheng Li plainly replied.

Ying Lili felt bad about getting rejected. "You read a few words from my mother's diary and come up with such a wish!" Sheng Li chuckled and then grasped Ying Lili's chin, making her look at him.

"If I will kiss you now then will you let me?" Sheng Li questioned.

Ying Lili was flustered by Sheng Li's question.

"Do you know what love means for a husband and a wife? I have seen how uncomfortable you get if I get close to you. You lost the bet against me so easily. You told me that you will never seek my love and you wish that no one will love me. But see, what happened? You soften your heart for me," Sheng Li pronounced, and a sly smile formed on his lips.

Ying Lili got nervous just by hearing the words of Sheng Li.
