53.| Short Amount Of Time

Your POV

"Hey... now that you know, will you finally accept me again?"

I smiled at him.

"ChengCheng... as much as I am flattered. I just broke up with YangYang, I want to sort things out. And give me some self-love first."

"How long will this take?"

I shrugged. "Not long... just a short amount of time."

ChengCheng nodded his head in understanding. "Then... may I ask how you feel about me?"

I looked away from ChengCheng's eyes and sigh softly. "I will give you your answer when I think the time is right. Right now, we need to get back to work."

He didn't say much but started up the engine, followed by his stepping on the gas and driving back to our company.

When I got off work and headed home, I had this bad feeling at the back of my head, knowing that the girls are gonna be sitting at home, waiting for my dusty ass to find her way home from staying out with a guy all night...

Oh, my god. I might as well hand them my head on a platter, and hope for their forgiveness.

When I parked my car and walked up to the door. I jingled my keys, looking for the right one. But... god wasn't on my side today. Because LouLou, as you know is the oldest and the mother material... and so she glared at me before saying, "Well, well, well. Look who decided to bring their face back here."

"Hi, mother..." I smiled shyly. But she quickly dragged me inside the house and kicked the door shut with her foot.

"HEY GUYS!! OUR YOUNGLING CAME HOME!"

The 2 others dragged their feet out to the living room with their arms crossed.

"Welcome home traitor." Jiang snaps.

"Guys... I'm sorry that I didn't come home yesterday..."

LouLou scoffs a little. "Tsk, yeah? What else are you not sorry about?"

"Hey! Stop yelling. I just slept at my office! It's not like I went out, got drunk and came back pregnant or something!"

LouLou then let's go of me and sighs. "Fine. You have a point there. But the fact that you let ChengCheng answer your phone is... ugh. Why him?"

"I fell asleep and he happened to answer, okay? Not completely my fault."

The 3 of them rolled their eyes at me before handing me the iPad we have. "We thought you didn't come home because of this." 

I look at it and skimmed through the article and snickered. 

"Hmph. I'm happy that he came out with his relationship with her."

 It was an article of YangYang and the model Lina coming out with their relationship, along with her explaining her anxiety attacks.

"You're not mad?"

"I won't say that I'm thrilled. But what's happened as already happened. He's always loved her."

"Then what about you?" Yorong asks. 

I smiled sadly. "I'm not sure anymore, ChengCheng confessed, but I denied him-"

"GOOD!" The 3 of them chanted. 

But I finished my sentence. "-For now."

They gawked at me. "What?!"

 "Look. Hear me out. I just want to make sure I don't really like him. So I told him to give me some time to figure out some things first."

"Fine. Deal with it yourself. Anyways, let's order something to eat. I'm hungry."

We all agreed and even called the boys over as well. 

"Lin Yanjun!" Yorong calls out.

"Yeah, babe?" Replies back.

The rest of us instantly got goosebumps. 

"What?!"

"Don't ever say that in front of us again." Zhangjing groans. 

"Hey, Yuejia," Linong asks.

"Yeah?"

"ChengCheng isn't joining?" 

I shrugged. "I'm not sure. Why would I know though?"

"Because you guys seem closer lately."

I chuckled. "Haha... maybe because I'm single now."

"Pf. I'm guessing the greatest couple in our high school is having a comeback?" Xiao Gui adds. 

"What is this? High School Musical? Stop, with this already."

The rest of them changed the topic as we ate our chicken wings.

ChengCheng's POV

"Short amount of time, huh?" I mumbled to myself as I played with a pen in my hotel.

"Adam!" 

I dropped my pen the moment I heard her voice. 

"What do you want?" 

"You know exactly why!"

"Angie, if you are referring to what I said today. Then we have nothing to talk about." 

She scoffs loudly. 

"I cannot with you. Why can't you appreciate how much effort I put in!"

"Pft. I do, but you are the person who is being blinded in this situation. I have told you many times that I am not interested in you. And yet, you still refuse." I stated.

She didn't say anything back. 

"Look. I still see you as a friend and care for you as one. But I'm sorry to say this, but I do not care for you any more than that. Please, get that through to your head."

"Then... tell me. What is so special about her."

"She is my high school sweetheart. She is also kind, understanding, loving, selfless. You tell me what part you're better than her." 

"I'm can be all of that!"

I calm nodded. "True." I paused. 

"But the only thing is. Your, not her."

Hello Jennings!!!

So sorry for this short chapter, i'm sure you used to my 1500 words more, rather than my 900 words. But! I promise the next one will be longer, I won't guarantee it will be 1500 words, but it will be longer than this one.

Also, ChengCheng and Yuejia are progressively getting somewhere?

Ps... This story is coming to an end very soon. 

Thank you for reading!!
