Chapter 1114: [Bonus chapter] We Are Different

"Firstly, I am not looking for a partner in life," Hyson told her very honestly. "Secondly, you're not the kind of a person I usually even befriend."         

    

"Why? What is wrong with me?"     

"Nothing," said Hyson. "It's just that your ideas don't match mine. You have a stubborn, rebellious personality. I have a careless and casual attitude toward life. You take everything too seriously. To me, family is everything. Above everything. Above my own life as well. But it's not the same for you." He paused briefly and said, "I'm not saying that people don't have differences. Yes, they do. Even Ellie and Xian Ge are very different from each other. Despite their differences, they match each other perfectly for a reason. We don't have a common ground. You and I are very different."     

"Is that all?" she asked. "All because we are different?"     

"Not really," he said. "It's not just because of that. Mostly, the thing is still the same. Differences can be overcome if one is willing to do it. But I'm not willing to. You see, my best friend tried to lower her limit of things she considered troublesome after she married Xian Ge. Why? Because she thinks once a relationship is established, it's worth her effort. I actually am like her. I only put in the effort when the relationship is worth it. You only see my smiling face. And maybe because of my cheekiness and sweet mouth, you found what was missing from your life and you considered that feeling to be liking. But have you thought that you could be totally wrong? You don't really know the real me at all."     

"All of those are just words to comfort me. The essence is you just never liked me," said Amiah.     

Hyson didn't deny it but agreed honestly, "Yes."     

"You really know how to break someone's heart," said Amiah. "Heartless."     

"I don't like deceiving people or playing with their feelings. I hate it the most to give someone a false hope. And I despise people who do that too."     

"What's wrong with deception? At least, it can make someone happy for a while."     

"That's not called happiness. It's called living in a lie. I don't like lies. I never did. I have been taught to be honest with myself and with the people around me. I never learned to fake it that's why I'm the person with the smallest social circle in our band. Even though it's Shuyi Ge is known for his sleeping and Yiwen Ge is known for being a homebody. And yet, I'm the one with the least friends in the entertainment industry? Why? Everything in this glittery world is fake and I am unable to become a part of it."     

"Whatever. You still hurt me. You could have said it nicely that you don't have feelings for me."     

"Oh," responded and thought about it before he stood up and took her hand, and said, "Madmosaille! It's with utmost shame that I have to convey to you that I am unable to have any feelings for you. But my best wishes are still with you for your future."     

Amiah's lips twitched before she burst out laughing, "I can't even bring myself to hit you."     

"It's because I don't deserve a beating."     

"No, you do," she emphasized.     

"How is that possible?" he retorted. "Look at my handsome face. This face doesn't deserve a beating."     

"So that you can continue to fool other innocent girls with that face of yours?"     

"Hey! I won't take the blame. I have never tried to fool girls. I don't even flirt."     

"Then don't be so nice to them too," she told him seriously.      

"Huh?"     

"It's because you're so nice to me that I fell for you. So, you should be careful. You don't have to do anything. Your face is deceiving enough and adding on your cheerful personality, you have no idea how many girls have a crush on you secretly. That's why I said to be careful and don't be nice to just anyone."     

Hyson thought about it seriously and wondered if he was really that nice that he'd end up charming people without realizing it. He didn't think he had that talent. And honestly speaking, he didn't think he was that nice to Amiah either.     

"It's not just because you're nice to me," she started as if she heard his mental voice. "It's more so because I was very lost when you came to support me and helped me out of the darkness with your words. So, I couldn't stop my feelings for you."     

"Oh? Does that mean I'm not that great? It's just that unfortunately, I was there at the right time for you."     

Amiah chuckled as she wiped her tears and nodded at him. "Yeah."         

    

"Next time, I'll keep note of that."     

"Why are you so serious?" she asked. "Is it that bad to have someone in your life as a partner to lean on?" She was genuinely curious about this question. Because first and foremost, he told her how much he wasn't looking for a partner and she wondered, why?     

"I'm not sure if it's bad or not. But what I know is that I don't feel the need to have a partner for now. I'm not sure about the future. Maybe one day I'd feel the need for that but at this very moment of my life, I really don't feel any need for that. Besides, I haven't met a person who can handle all of what I am. I'm too much even for my best friend and trust me, Raelle Xiang can handle everything." He had a very interesting expression as he shared this with her.     

"You seem very smug about that," she commented as she looked at him in amusement. She was once again reminded of how much she didn't know him at all.     

He shrugged, "That can't be helped. I have a lot to be proud of. See? You don't even know how much of a prideful person I am."
