CHAPTER 162

"So you still get punished by your mum?"

"No I do not. It was back in those days when I was still a kid. As expected of a boy who loves to play, I would always make my room my playground. Therefore it was always messy and then I get punished. But now, I am a responsible guy," he said as he took off his shoes and watch.

"I can see that."

They talked about other things until Mrs Yi called them out for dinner. They ate in a cheerful atmosphere. Mrs and Wei Ruolan clicked. After almost two hours, Wei Ruolan decided to leave.

"Bye Mrs Yi. Thank you for letting me join you for dinner. It was spectacular," Wei Ruolan said to Mrs Yi.

"Well, I am glad that you like it. Come to vwr some other time okay? Minsheng never brings anybody home," Mrs Yi said and hugged Wei Ruolan.

"That is if Minsheng wants me to come home with him another time," she said and the two women looked at Yi Minsheng.

"What? Why are you staring at me like that, mum?" He asked as he did not hear what they said.

"Bring your friend over another time, will you?" Mrs Yi asked.

"Oh! Sure. I will," he answered and Wei Ruolan's eyes beamed in happiness. Of course Mrs Yi did not fail to notice it and it looks like her stupid son did not.

'Sigh. He still has a lot to understand and to learn,' she sighed within herself.

"Alright Mrs Yi. Have a good night," Wei Ruolan said.

"You too child. You too. Minsheng, make sure she gets a cab before you leave her," Mrs Yi said behind them as the walked out of the apartment.

"I know mum. You raised a gentleman, remember?" Yi Minsheng said as he waved his hands without turning back to look at his mother who had a mischievous smile on her face.

Yi Minsheng and Wei Ruolan decided to take a little stroll on the walkway before she hails a cab. With every step they took in silence the night breeze blew slowly past them.

"So," he began. "How did you enjoy your visit to my house?" He asked with a little side smile. Wei Ruolan looked at Yi Minsheng and returned her gaze back on the walkway before she answered.

"It was fun. I like your mum. She is friendly at it made me feel at ease. Oh, I enjoyed the food. Also, I liked the first show of that cute boy. In fact, I enjoyed it a whole lot," she spotted. Yi Minsheng chuckled at her words.

"Yeah. That kid sure is cute. But that is the first time I am seeing him say no to what Renxiang says or does it cook," he said as he tucked his hands into his pants pocket.

"I see. You seem to know them really well," she said matter of factly.

"Yeah, I do. I have known them for about three or four years now," he said.

"That means you have known her, Bai Renxiang before she had that little boy?"

"Hmm." He nodded. After that response, silence ensued.

"You... you like her," she let those words slip out of her lips with great courage she had summed up.

Yi Minsheng froze on his steps with his eyes wide. His heart skipped a beat and his breath hitched. It had been long since anyone told him that. Wei Ruolan just stood there beside him in silence, waiting for him to say something.

When she got nothing, she sighed. Then Wei Ruolan took in deep breaths and smiled as if nothing happened. She used her elbow to hit him lightly on his stomach.

"Come on. You can tell your buddy anything. I promise not to laugh at you," she said as she moved from one feet to another in front of him.

"So tell me. Do you have a crush on her?"

Yi Minsheng looked down and licked his lips. His action made Wei Ruolan think that he was shy to talk so she said.

"If you are too shy to talk, then I will tell you something," she paused.

"I had a crush too. Back in high school," she said making Yi Minsheng raise his head to look at her.

"What? Everyone had a crush back in their high school days," she shrugged her shoulders.

"Gasp. Do not tell me that you did not have a crush in high school?" She asked with wide eyes and hand on her chest.

Yi Minsheng averted his gaze from hers as he coughed lightly. This friend of his had already exposed two of his secrets in one night. Jeez. He was already flushed as he ears were red from embarrassment.

"My God! Minsheng, are you too naive or what?" She laughed.

"I thought you promised that you are not going to laugh at me," he said.

"Alright. I am no laughing anymore. Not laughing okay? So tell me, do you like Bai Renxiang?"

"Ahem. I... well yes. I love her," he answered. Wei Ruolan nodded her head.

"I asked because it was written all over your face back at the passage when you saw her," she said.

"Really? Was it that obvious?" Yi Minsheng asked in surprise. He thought he was doing great at masking his feelings for Bai Renxiang.

"Yes it was. But I do not think Bai Renxiang noticed because she was too focussed on getting her son to teach him a mess. If she was not not distracted, I bet she would have noticed too," Wei Ruolan stated.

"Oh my God. You are too observant. Your eyes are too sharp also. Before I forget. Do not tell anyone about me not having a crush on high school. I do not want that he be laughed at because of that," he said.

"So you seriously did not have a crush on any girl from school, even at the university?" She asked.

"Hmm," he nodded in confirmation.

"That means your neighbour is your first crush?"
