Chapter 115 - She Would Follow Her Heart

Try and date him?

For a while, Li Qin Yao did not know what to say.

Of course, she was not expecting to hear a confession at a time like this. Because she was not prepared, Li Qin Yao continued to stare at Zhang Yu Han in dumbfounded. Her mind was in chaos as many thoughts went across it until she did not know how to respond.

Seeing the blank look on Li Qin Yao's face, Zhang Yu Han began to panic.

Suddenly, he was really afraid that he was going to hear her rejection. Now that he thought of it, the two of them did not know each other for a long time, and he was afraid that his confession was going to scare her.

However, the first time he met her ten years ago at the basketball tournament, he had missed his chance but since he had received a second chance, Zhang Yu Han thought that he should not turn back. Anyway, the words he wanted to say have already escaped his mouth.

Zhang Yu Han took another deep breath. "I," he stopped himself and swallowed. He thought that he should say something, but he did not know what. It took him a while before he could compose himself and spoke again.

"I cannot say that I can be the best," Zhang Yu Han said. "I cannot promise you that I won't make mistakes. But I can tell you that if you're willing to give it a try, then I will try hard to be the best for you."

Li Qin Yao's heart started to beat rapidly. She had heard a few confessions before, but nothing like what Zhang Yu Han was making her feel.

Because the surroundings were quiet, Zhang Yu Han's voice sounded deep and rich to her ears. Facing against his words and his magnetic voice, Li Qin Yao has become slow in reacting. Li Qin Yao thought that she was starting to get a little bit lightheaded.

Seconds passed by and Li Qin Yao's head began to function properly again. She stood up straight from her position and continued to watch the man in front of her as she pondered about how to respond.

Although she had noticed the way Zhang Yu Han treated her and guessed that he was probably trying to pursue her, Li Qin Yao was not too sure of how she felt for him. Anyway, it was not too long ago since she broke up. But once she got his hint, Li Qin Yao had promised herself that she would follow her heart if he ever said he liked her.

Right now, she thought that Zhang Yu Han was not that bad. In this short period that she had known him, Zhang Yu Han was always considerate towards her.

He really does have the kind of voice she liked.

And right now, her heart was telling her that...

Anyway, she was not someone who was afraid to take a chance to love again. She knew that if she wasted this chance, she would regret it.

Besides, Zhang Yu Han had said to try.

They will have to just see. If it works out, that would be great, but if they were not compatible, then they would just have to break up.

Li Qin Yao noticed the furrow in his brow and suddenly felt warmth spreading in her heart. She thought back at the time when she had met Zhang Yu Han in Sanctuary Coffee to exchange their phone. The first time she saw him, he had that frown on his face as well.

At that time, Li Qin Yao thought that he gave off a vibe for others not to get close to him. However this time, the frown on his face gave off something else. He was nervous.

Suddenly, Li Qin Yao thought that Zhang Yu Han was adorable. She held his gaze as she took a few steps towards him.

Seeing her getting closer to him makes Zhang Yu Han anxious. He could feel perspirations on his body. The feeling was worst than the first time he signed an agreement for the company.

At this point, he no longer cared about what her answer will be as long as she gave him a response.

Even if he gets rejected, he can try again and win her heart, right?

Before he could brace himself for her response, Zhang Yu Han heard her voice.

"Alright."

Zhang Yu Han was stunned at her reply.

Looking at the man's expression, Li Qin Yao did not know whether she should laugh.

Sensing that he probably did not hear her word for the first time, Li Qin Yao moved closer to him. She lifted her head to look at him, and he had to tilt his head down. Then, she repeated her answer. "Alright. Let's give it a try. But if your performance was not satisfactory―"

"I will do my best," Zhang Yu Han said before she finished. Since she had already agreed, there was no way he was going to let her say the word, 'break up'. "Li Qin Yao, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Li Qin Yao chuckled at his words. "Good." She turned around to leave. But after two steps, she stopped and turned around to look at him again. Her lips curved into a smile. "Zhang Yu Han, good night. I will see you tomorrow."

"Good night," he whispered. But as Li Qin Yao walked in into the building, Zhang Yu Han was still standing at the same spot for a while longer. Once he regained his sense, a smile slowly bloomed on his face.

Zhang Yu Han went into his car and called Wei Jun Hao's number. "Where are you?"

"Just arrived home. What is it?"

"Jun Hao, call out the others to meet up."

Wei Jun Hao cursed. "Young Master Zhang, I'm begging you. Don't do this to me. The others are starting to hate me because I made them come to join you in a basketball game. Su Ming Yuan had already threatened me that he will introduce a few young girls to my aunt if I ever call him out for a basketball game. I'm tired of going to those blind dates, alright."

Zhang Yu Han frowned at his friend's response. "Who said I was going to ask you to come and play basketball?"

"Then?"

"Let's go out for a drink. My treat."

Wei Jun Hao distanced his phone away from his ear. He frowned when he saw the name on the screen was indeed his friend's name, Zhang Yu Han. "Are you for real?"

"Un," Zhang Yu Han nodded. "Anyway, I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What is it?" It was an hour ago since the last time he saw him, but back then Zhang Yu Han did not seem like he had something important to say.

"Actually," Zhang Yu Han paused. He was planning to share his joy during his meetup with the boys but it looks like he can no longer contain his excitement. "Li Qin Yao agreed to date me."
