Chapter 71 - Try Dating

"What?" Lu Mengjie turned her innocent gaze at her, tilting her head to the side which only caused her to look like she has never said the words she told her earlier.

Tian Ruyi never expected that she would be hearing such shameless words from her. How could she openly talk about the size of a man's dick? Even if they were the only ones in the car, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed when it came to such topics. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "Seriously, I can't believe that you're going to compare the sizes of their manhood."

"Of course I have to. The bigger the better."

"..." The bigger… the better?

"If you want to convince me with Bai Jingye, you should ask him for his dick size first."

"..." This woman...

Despite looking and sounding all too serious, Lu Mengjie was actually just joking. She enjoyed seeing her friend's blushing face which only made her want to tease her more.

"I-I don't think that's appropriate to ask..."

"Then you will have to find other ways to convince me."

It seemed to be that way. Although Tian Ruyi wasn't worried at all since she trusted her matchmaking skills. Besides, she loved taking on challenges. Even if they were having an embarrassing topic right now, it kind of piqued her innocent curiosity so she asked with much hesitation, "will it hurt?"

"Well, of course, it will, if it's your first time but it will only be for a moment then it'll be replaced by pleasure." As Lu Mengjie continued to talk, she couldn't help but remember the first night she shared with Yong Liwei. It was her first and at the same time, her last. They weren't able to do it anymore because of what happened. Despite that… the night she shared with him was unforgettable. She could still remember how exciting and at the same time, nervous she was. 

On the other hand, Tian Ruyi never really thought of doing intimate stuff with someone else. Whenever she has a goal in mind, it would be hard to distract her. She may not look like it because of her lively personality but she was actually a nerd. Since she was just an adopted daughter, she focused on her studies just so she could make her father proud. Her name always appeared among the top students of the school she was studying at. She balanced both her studies and the extracurricular activities she joined in. She was so busy that she never had time for relationships. It never came into her mind at all that's why she never really fell for Bai Jingye. She only started blogging after she graduated college. She was inspired by some famous bloggers so she wanted to try becoming one. Her father never pressured her, instead, he told her that she could do whatever she wanted.

Beep! Beep!

The horn of the car behind was heard loudly which snapped them out of their thoughts. 

"Ah! Sorry!" Tian Ruyi apologized to the drivers who passed by their car. She faced forward and began driving away. She didn't ask Lu Mengjie another question anymore until they finally arrived at the apartment they were staying at.

"You really should try dating, Yiyi," the pregnant woman suggested as she followed her inside the place.

Dating… 

"How can I date someone when no one is asking me out?" She pouted, sulking.

Lu Mengjie stopped, looking at her in dubiety. "No way." She refused to believe her.

"I can't just date one of my fans. Besides, I don't think I should force love. The more I search for it, the more I won't get it."

For some reason, those simple words hit Lu Mengjie hard.

"It will be better if I'm not expecting it. I rather enjoy what I have right now," she said, full of resolve this time. Yes, she shouldn't go looking for someone to love. It was a troublesome thing to do. She wanted to enjoy more of her single life.

The other woman stared at her with mixed emotions in her eyes. She became quiet. Even if Lu Mengjie liked Tian Ruyi as a friend, she just realized that they were somehow quite the opposite. While she took things for granted, her friend valued every opportunity that was given to her. When it came to love, it was different too. She wanted someone to love her and embrace her but Tian Ruyi wasn't the same. She wasn't looking for love at all.

"Although just as what I said earlier, I'm pretty sure that you'll be breaking up with your current boyfriend. You don't even love each other. Even if you married him because of the baby, you can't say that you'll be able to learn to love him, what if things get worse instead?" She placed the plastic bags she was carrying at the counter. 

"Even if what you say is true… one day, this child will look for his real father…" Lu Mengjie muttered, placing a hand on her tummy.

While Tian Ruyi was taking out the food that she bought, she continued to speak, "it doesn't totally mean that you will hide who his real father is. Nothing in this world can be kept as a secret forever. One way or another, they will all be revealed in the right time."
