The Devil’s love

Chapter 317 - Lesson

"Okay, this sounds very serious." Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan added, "You can share it if you want to. If not, it's fine too. We can just sit here for a while."

Though he wanted to know what was stressing Yitian for quite some time now, he also didn't want to force things out of him. He wanted Yitian to take an initiative to share it with him when he feels like it. ??

"I—It's about Liying, she left."

Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "What do you mean? As far as I know, she is in her grandparents place and will be back soon."

"She left because of me." Sighing in dejection, Yitian explained, "A day before she left, we had a very weird conversation. She told me that she likes me—"

"And what did you do?"

Gulping in nervousness, he answered, "I think I left her alone and ran away."

"You ran away?" Raising his brows, Yichan remarked, "So the girl you have been after for months says that she likes you and you run away?" Patting Yitian's shoulder, he chuckled, "You are really my brother."

"Huh?"

"What happened after that? She got angry and left or—?"

"She did not get angry. In fact, she came here to return my books which I had left behind. That is when she told me she is leaving and won't be back for a while. More than anger, I could see that she was hurt because of my stupid actions."

"Hmmm, well this might not sound so promising and helpful but you acted like an idiot." When Yitian lowered his head, Yichan tried to cheer him up. "Okay now stop being gloomy. Did you try to contact her?"

"I had been trying since months. I called her the very next day she left even though she asked me not to because the network is always bad there. Sometimes the call went through, sometimes it did but she did not receive it. I even left many messages but they were left unanswered even though some got delivered," he answered.

"So you did not talk to her even once after she left?" Yichan inquired.

"That is the worst part." Pinching the bridge of his nose, he explained, "She called me a few days back—when we had a dinner party. She video called me but—"

"But?"

"She was not alone, she was with some guy called Carl ." Without waiting for Yichan's reply, he frowned, "And not just that, they looked quite close. They were going for movies, maybe it was a date."

"Okay so your silence is nothing but jealousy," Yichan remarked.

"I am more angry than jealous. If I hadn't reacted in such dumb way, nothing would have happened. It's all my fault," he sighed.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan asked, "Okay, you tell me one thing, how sure are you that there is something going on between Liying and that guy? Did she tell you about it?" When Yitian shook his head, he sighed, "So you assumed it all."

"I guess."

Helplessly shaking his head, he explained further, "Never jump into a conclusion without finding out the real truth. You will turn twenty very soon which means you are no more a kid or teenager. You will be an adult in his early twenties."

Placing his hand on Yitian's shoulder, he added, "People usually think early twenties is only for enjoyment which is true but only to some extent. I am not saying you shouldn't have fun, you should but you should also be aware of your responsibilities and take things seriously."

"Now coming to you and Liying. Both of you are still very young and no one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe you boh will make it till the end, maybe you won't but that doesn't mean you should not try at all. Relationships can't be formed overnight, you need to work on them to make it strong. So if you think Liying is the one then you should go with your feelings and try to make your bond stronger with her over time," Yichan explained.

"And what if she is not the one? What if we end up wasting each other's time?" Yitian inquired.

"That is not called wasting time, that is called learning. If you think of it as wasting time then it will feel like a burden but if you take it in a positive way then it will be a lesson. Life is all about learning and growing," he answered.

"So you think I still have a chance?"

"Of course, you are the only one who has a chance. So stop being a crybaby and deal with the situation wisely. In fact—" Taking his phone out of his pocket, Yichan added, "Let me help you with the first step."

"Huh?—"

Without saying anything, Yichan called someone. "Good evening Mr.Wang, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Of course not, I am still in the office," Mr Wang answered.

Yitian widened his eyes in shock when he realized Yichan was talking to Mr Wang, Liying's father.

"I remember a few weeks ago you had told me about sending my brother for a vacation to your parents city."

"Yes, I remember that. What happened?"

"I wanted to know if that offer is still valid. Yitian is feeling a bit gloomy these days so I thought a short vacation would refresh him. You know how things are going on lately, it's not very convenient to send him around alone. Since Ning and I are very busy these days because of the upcoming project, we can't spend much time with him. I am afraid that it will affect his mental health. So Ning and I thought it would be convenient and safer to accept your kind offer," Yichan stated.
