Lifen has already decided that he will let Chang decide for himself. She will no longer force him to do anything which he don't want to, so she clarified her relationship with Deming. Hearing her, Chang's face beamed with happiness but he was quick to maintain his composure. He didn't wanted Lifen to guess his next plan.
Deming on the side was feeling worse after hearing her. He didn't miss the slight appearance of the happiness in Chang's eyes. He can tell, something evil is brewing in his brain. But at this moment the most piercing thing to his heart was only Lifen's words. His eyes were glistening with darkness.
Lifen ignored darkness in his eyes, as she hasn't said anything wrong. She reverted her eyes back to Chang, "Chang, please let the doctor continue their work. Don't create anymore fuss".
Chang shook his head in disapproval, "Nope. I will not. I have a condition for that".
Deming was already expecting this from before. He didn't bother to look at him rather he made his gaze stagnant on Lifen.
Chang was looking at the way Deming was looking at Lifen. His gaze on her irked him. He clenched his fist under the blanket and looked back at Lifen.
"What again?" Lifen asked. She was getting a wrong feeling but she can't help because at this moment the most important thing was getting Chang treated.
Chang gave a evil smile to her, "You already know that I love you, isn't it. I am sorry for what I am going to ask next. I know I shouldn't pressurize you into a relationship with me but now I can't take it anymore".
He paused to look at Lifen and then gazed at Deming who was still unwaveringly looking at Lifen. He continued, "Date me".
Lifen was shocked, she expected him to remove the promise that asked him to be in her friend zone but she didn't expected to ask such an unreasonable request. She shook her head in disapproval, "Chang you are being too unreasonable. You can't force me like this".
"Please Lifen...please".
Deming glared at Chang but it didn't serve any purpose. Lifen took her cellphone, "I think I can handle this anymore Chang. I can't agree to your condition. The only for me to do now, is to inform your parent about your condition and the rest they will handle by themselves".
Deming was relieved when he saw the reluctance of Lifen but he didn't knew it was a short term relief. Chang snorted, "Lifen you are too innocent, and that makes me love you more. My parents aren't here. They have gone overseas so they can't help you. And now if you are going to ask help from your besties then I am telling you prior, it will be of no use".
Lifen ignored his words and was about to call Guang but the doctor exclaimed, "Mam, please make jim understand faster. His wounds will get infected if not treated on time. I hope it doesn't get too late".
"Lifen, please date me. You don't have a boyfriend right now. Why not try me? Al least date me for three months. After that I won't force. It will be your decision to continue the relationship or not", he pleaded her.
Lifen didn't knew what to say now. Three months, how can she be his girlfriend for even a day when she doesn't love him? She never thought she has to face a day like this.
Deming wasn't able to hold anymore, he rebuked, "Be a man, boy. How can you force a girl to be your girlfriend when she is reluctant to it. Can't you show some respect to her decisions?"
Chang sneered, "I don't think it concern you in any way, Mr.Wang . I am not asking your girl out, so it would be better if you let her decide. I am sorry if I have been rude to you but I have waited for this for a long time. I am just trying my luck now".
Deming wanted to cut off the tongue that spoke the words, 'don't think it concern you in any way' and 'not asking your girl out', but he can't because it was true. But still no one can ask Lifen to be their girl, because he can't let her go. He can't bear to look her with some other guy.
After thinking for some time, Lifen said plainly, "Chang let the doctors do their work. We will talk about this later".
Chang shook his head, "Nope, give your decision now".
Lifen was frustrated, she can't take it anymore, "Okay, I will date you for three months. Now let the doctors proceed".
Chang was overjoyed, "Doctor, treat me as fast as you can. I want spent my time with my girlfriend".
Doctors moved forward to treat him and asked Lifen to wait out of the room, to which she nodded and turned to leave but was taken aback when she didn't find Deming in the room.
When did he left the room? She gave a thought, then shrugged off the thought saying that she doesn't have any right to think about him as he is already taken. She left the room and closed the door behind her.
Lifen was standing and thinking about the things, she has done a few moments before. She then thought that she should inform Guang and Daiyu about this. So she connected a conference call with them.
She gave a dry smile and greeted them, "Hey!"
Daiyu: "Hello my little bird"
Guang: "Hello, how are you Lifen?"
Lifen: "Not in the right state"
Daiyu said in a jolt: "What happened to you now? Did Deming said something to you? I am not going to leave him"
Guang: "Sigh, let her finish Daiyu.What is it Lifen?"
Lifen: "I am dating Chang"
Daiyu: "..."
Guang: "..."
Both of them didn't how to respond to this news. It was really unfamiliar and the impossible thing in this world because if it were to happen then it would have happened long before.
Guang: "How did Chang blackmailed you for this?"
Lifen told her the entire story of today. She smiled on her bad luck. How can she be this unlucky. After that she disconnected the call saying that she will come and meet them tomorrow.
She was about to slip her phone back into her pocket when a warm, rough and strong familiar hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a room which was full of darkness.
"What are you doing?" Lifen asked without knowing who has grabbed her.
