CHAPTER 295

"Hello Li Jing, miss me?"

His lips tugged upo into a corner of a smile as he watched the bewildered look on her face slowly turn into a smile.

"Tang Zixin!" Li Jing finally exclaimed after what seemed to be like several minutes stretch. It wasn't that she was not shocked nor was she surprised and all.

Actually, he was not the one she was expecting that would give her a surprise visit. Her heart and mind had hoped for it to be Ye Cheng but when she saw his hair, she prayed that it was her man crush and not the other one.

Regardless when he lifted his head to look at her, it still had the same effect and she was dumbfounded for a little while.

Even though it wasn't her Ye Cheng, having Tang Zixin visit her was still something she was glad about.

She immediately stood up from her seat and made her way towards him.

Expecting what she was about to do, Tang Zixin opened his arms and welcomed her hug. Li Jing wasted no time in flinging herself into his hands and giving him a friendly nice hug.

She felt safe and contented a bit when she did that. Although he wasn't Ye Cheng but having a close friend from her city was more than enough to put her worked up heart at ease.

She missed him, she missed them, the two men who acted as her support and pillar when she needed it.

After some seconds, she pulled away from the hug and smiled brightly at him.

"For a moment there, i thought you weren't happy to see me," Tang Zixin confessed his insecurity.

He knew he had not announced his arrival but he was hoping she would be surprised and the first look on her face gave her away that she was expecting some one else even though she tried to mask it quickly and acted to be shocked.

"Don't be silly. I am happy to have you visit me."

"Is that it or you were expecting him?" Tang Zixin's eyes did not hold the usual smile that they did. She knew he was probably hurt and was waiting to confirm his suspicions.

Nevertheless, Li Jing wasn't going to make him feel sad.

"I was not expecting anyone, okay."

"Lies. I can see it right through your eyes, Li Jing. You miss him."

"And I miss you too. You both are my friends. It is just that Ye Cheng is fund of doing something like this that is all. This is a first time with you and I love it still. So stop beating yourself up. Come and have a seat."

With that said, Li Jing pulled him lightly on his arm and led him to have a seat on one of her cushion before she sat down close to him.

"Thank you so much for visiting, Tang Zixin. I really am grateful."

"Do you really mean it?"

"Yes, I do. I am happy."

"If you are happy, then I am happy," Tang Zixin said with a smile.

He was now back to his usual and cheerful self.

"Great. Now what can I offer you? Do you want coffee, juice, wine or tea?"

"Umm… " Tang Zixin tapped on his chin with his index finger like he was really contemplating what he would pick. "I woildbgo for whatever you choose," he finally said after sometime.

Meanwhile, Li Jing who had been expecting a favourable answer did not get one and was left to make a choice on his behalf.

"Seriously?" She pouted her lips and folded her arms underneath her breast.

"Yes seriously. Hahhaa haha…" His laughter felt so nice in her ears that she felt like saying something to make him laugh again but even at that, it wasn't just his lafternshe wanted to hear.

It was his. It was Ye Cheng's laughter that made more sense and joy in her ears.

"Do not take not to heart, Li Jing. I was just pulling your leg, dear. Sorry."

He reached up to pinch her cheeks lightly, eliciting a small cru from her.

"Tsk. You have grown up, Li Jing. You arenkow more matured."

"In what sense?"

"I do not know. Perhaps having so much responsibility been giving to you and change of environment did make you look so much matured."

"Ohh… " she did not see it that way but the one thing she sure was correct about her maturing was the way her emotions were stronger.

Never again was she going to let herself be belittled by the likes of those beneath her.

So if that was what he was gearing towards, then by all means she accepted it as being so.

"Do jot think too much about it though. I like you anyway you are. I would always be here for you whenever you need me. All you have to do is say the word."

"That is so thoughtful of you. I would keep that in mind."

"But you would never ask would you?"

"Don't be so sure. Who knows, I may actually need it," she said with a shrug of her shoulders before leaning her back against the cushion and relaxing into it.

"The Li Jing I know, sigh… Let us leave this discussion at that. Just know that you can count on me at anytime and anyday."

"Deal. Now, please tell me you have decided on what you would like to take."

"I think I have a better idea."

Li Jing arched her brows at him. She did not know what to expect from him again.

In fact, she wanted to expect nothing lest she b disappointed or too surprised…

Regardless what it was, she was going to take it head on.

"Let's see. How about going out? It is weekend tomorrow, we can spend some time together and just go have fun. What say you? My treat."

"Umm… " Li Jing did not know what to expect much considering she still had some unfinished work.

But thinking of resting and it was someone that was close to her that offered… Oh well, some time off wouldn't be bad.

"Yes."
