Chapter 194 - Confession

It's been three days since Ying Sheng woke up from a coma. Liam couldn't lie to himself that he was not afraid when he saw her lying in her own pool of blood with cuts on her wrist. 

Her skin was so pale and her lips were blue. Liam thought he was going to lose her but somehow she made it.

Every time he closes his eyes he sees this scene. Liam had to admit he was traumatized by the scene he saw.

His brother had let him see a therapist since he was afraid something would help to him. Liam blew out air. He wanted to call Dong Yishan to ask how Ying Sheng was even though he left her five minutes ago.

If Lucas hadn't call him that their father was spying on him he wouldn't have left the hospital.

Liam was afraid his father would forbid him from seeing Ying Sheng once he knows she is suicidal.

Someone poked Liam's shoulder snapping him out of his thoughts.

Liam glanced sideways and saw Lucas plopping down next to him on the couch.

"What's up, lover boy? Are you thinking about her huh?"

Lucas gazed at Liam with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he smirked.

"What do you want, Lucas?" Liam said ignoring his question.

"Brother why are you so cold to me huh?" Lucas said feigning a hurtful expression.

"I was just trying to cheer you up since you look like a lost puppy. Those sad eyes and dark circles—dude you look like a zombie."

Lucas heaved a sigh, "I should definitely take a picture of you looking like the mummy. You have even grown a stubble. What happened to being the hygienic brother and you scolding me to shave."

Lucas took his phone and quickly snapped a picture of Liam. He grinned excitedly staring at the picture. Oh one day he would tease his brother with this picture.

"Are you still worried about Miss Ying?" Lucas expression turned serious as he asked his brother.

"No, I'm not." Liam said, trying to sound firm. He knows once he admits it, his brother wouldn't let him go with his teasing.

"Of course you're not thinking about her." Lucas said sarcastically.

He gazed at his brother with a smirk on his mouth. Liam shifted uncomfortable in the couch with his brothers intense gaze boring into him.

"Fine...okay I'm worried about her. Are you happy?"

Liam run his fingers through his hair as he heaved a sigh. 

"See it wasn't so hard to admit you're worried about her."

Lucas said with a mischievous smile on his lips.

Liam shot his brother a deadly glare but Lucas just grinned at him clearly unaffected by his brother's outburst.

"Tell me what are you worried about?" Lucas asked.

"Seriously?" Liam groaned.

"Seriously." Lucas retorted.

"I-I I'm afraid."

Lucas's face contorted with confusion.

"What are you afraid of?" 

"Can I win Ying Sheng in six months? I don't think she is ready for a relationship yet and I don't want to risk our friendship. I would rather be her friend who would secretly love her from far then to mess our friendship up."

Lucas patted Liam's shoulder. "Relax bro, everything will work out."

Liam smiled slightly and nodded.

"Thanks, Lucas." 

Lucas grinned and wrapped his hands around his brother's shoulder.

"I know I'm the best brother in the world. Don't act so touch or I will tear up."

Lucas said sat sarcastically wiping his non existent tears.

Liam rolled his eyes at his brother's.

"Don't worry I'm sure Miss Ying would eventually fall for you. Look at this face. Who can resist huh? Also you have such a soft heart. Something Miss Ying could use. Just don't rush and trust the process."

Liam nodded.

"Anyway, I have a date tonight with that girl I was telling you about. You remember right?"

Liam scrunched his face, "Which one? You always talk about a lot of girls."

Lucas shook his head and sighed. 

"I have changed bro, I really want this girl so I'm not messing up."

"Huh, that serious?" Liam couldn't help but be curious about the mysterious girl who has been able to win his womanizing brother's heart."

"Alright, let's go and eat. You have lost weight. Mom will freak out if she sees you like this."

Lucas said changing the subject as he stood up.. He knew his brother didn't believe him so he won't waste time saying anything..

Liam sighed and stood up, following Lucas out of the room. 

*********************

"Hey….how is our pretty patient doing today?" A familiar voice greeted snapping Ying Sheng out of her thoughts. Ying Sheng glanced at the entrance and saw Dong Yishan coming inside.

"Hy Dongdong."  Ying Sheng smiled at the young woman. The first time Dong Yishan came here, Ying Sheng had ignored her. She didn't want anyone to see her at her lowest.

She thought she would see pity or mockery in Dong Yi Han's eyes but there was nothing like that.

Her eyes were so innocent and kind that Ying Sheng couldn't help but soften. Dong Yishan didn't complain or forced Ying Sheng to talk to her the first day. She just solely talked about everything. Her trips to other countries, shopping, her ex boyfriend who cheated on her with some blonde girl and even food she was allergic to.

Ying Sheng thought she would get bored with her chattering but surprisingly she wasn't. She actually found herself listening to the young lady. Her noise was better than the cold silence and it distracted her from her thoughts.

Ying Sheng can still remember how happy Dong Yishan was when she started talking to her.

Did Ying Sheng envy Dong Yishan? Yes she did. She wishes she could be free spirited like Dong Yishan. She was so carefree and a bubble of happiness.

Ying Sheng wishes she was like that.

"Awww do you miss your cutie already?" Dong Yishan grinned as she sat at the edge of the bed.

Ying Sheng rolled her eyes at Dong Yishan. 

"He just left a few minutes ago, so no I don't miss him." Ying Sheng shrugged at Dong Yishan.

Dong Yishan stuck her tongue at Ying Sheng and changed the topic.

"Do you know my favorite idol is coming to City S. He was on tour and he said in order to thank his fans he would be doing a concert. Oh my! I'm so excited."

Dong Yishan exclaimed excitedly with a dreamy look on her face.

Ying Sheng smiled and shook her head helplessly.

"He is so handsome. Do you think he would notice the coward and fall for me at first sight? Like that movie....I have forgotten the name." 

Dong Yishan pouted as she said.

Ying Sheng chuckled at her expression and shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, now I'm curious about your idol. Who is it?" Ying Sheng raised her brows as her lips curved into a smile.

"Oh wait, let me show you his picture. But promise me you won't fall for him." Dong Yishan said sternly, causing Ying Sheng to scoff.

"I promise?" 

Dong Yishan nodded in satisfaction and turned her phone's screen on. After all her idol was her screen saver.

"Here…"  Dong Yishan said and showed Ying Sheng her phone.

Ying Sheng looked at the person on the screen and nearly vomited blood.

The idol Dong Yishan was talking about was Li Wei; her cousin.

"Please don't tell me, he is the idol you're talking about."  Ying Sheng wrinkled her nose as she said.

Dong Yishan blinked and nodded. 

"Why, he is handmexy right?" Dong Yishan blushed as she said.

"Handmexy? Is that even a word?" 

Dong Yishan nodded. 

"Of course it is, handsome and s.e.xy; handmexy"

Ying Sheng shook her head. How can that stinky Li Wei be 'handmexy?' 

"You need to get your eyes checked. How can this ugly guy be handmexy?" 

Dong Yishan widened her eyes and she glared at Ying Sheng.

"You're so lucky I like you or I would have spank you right now. How can you insult my idol!"

"I can because that stinky guy is my cousin."

Dong Yishan stiffened and she widened her eyes.

"Wait what? He is your cousin? But how—you have different names."

Dong Yishan blushed as she said. 

"Because my aunt married and he got his dad's surname." Ying Sheng explained as she gave Dong Yishan.  'are you dumb look?'

"Oh?" Dong Yishan blushed and quickly changed the subject.

"So.....you are going home tomorrow. Are you excited?"

Ying Sheng looked at the entrance and a sad smile spilled from her lips. She has been staring at the entrance everyday hoping to see her mom or father but none of them came.

Everyone has been here. Her aunt, Mr. Lei, Yan Mei, Lei Zhao, Liam, even Liam's mother had sent her food since she couldn't come in person because of her husband. And Dong Yishan who always drives everyone away and accompanies her.

"Hmm...I guess I am."

Dong Yishan saw the sad glint Ying Sheng's eyes but she said nothing.

"Once we get out of here, I'm taking you straight to the salon." Ying Sheng held her hair and smiled.

"Okay."

"Anything, you want to do once you get out of here?"

Dong Yishan asked Ying Sheng.

Ying Sheng looked at the ceiling and nodded.

"Yes. I want to do something I should have done long ago."

Dong Yishan looked at Ying Sheng and raised her brows.

"What?" She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Confession."

Dong Yishan frowned in confusion.

"What confession?"

Ying Sheng smiled and shook her head.
