Chang Mingxia looked at the mirror. "Today is the day Chang Mingxia!! You can do it!!" She air fisted. Her phone rang. It was Jie Zihan.
She blushed.
Spending time with Jie Zihan for the last few years was one of the most important change in Chang Mingxia's life. From the spoiled rich girl, she turned more compassionate and understanding person. Her crush for De Longjun wavered and she found out her crush image changed and she slowly fell in love with Jie Zihan.
Her family was the obstacle for her. She hadn't told them about him.... Yet. Her family wanted her to be De Longjun's wife. Finding her own space and the influence of Jie Zihan's thought process changed her outlook towards love and and understanding. She found she was influenced by her family.... Mostly in negative manner. But they never sought a cruel and illegal method in their lives. They just wanted to secure their buisness. And they never saw her as a tool for it. They tried to influence her.... But not forcefully. So she never hated them.
But before confessing to Jie Zihan, she wanted to tell to De Longjun that she once had a crush on him. Its not for disturbing him but to let it out from her heart. Its for my peace of mind. And for a new start...
She knew Jie Zihan had a crush on her. I will confess to him tonight!! He sure will be happy. She giggled. After that she would announce to her family to stop matching her with De Longjun. She is sure they will agree to her. They love me so much. And Jie Zihan's family is not bad. They are rich. And has a good reputation among buisness world.
"Hey what's it?!" She asked.
"Are you ready to go?!" Jie Zihan asked.
"Yup!! I am ready now!!"
"Then come outside. I am waiting in the same place."
"Okay! Then I will be there!!" She hung up the phone and walked out of her room.
Jie Zihan sometimes bought along Chang Mingxia to the club parties after she turned eighteen. But he didn't let her drink that much and always bought her back to the home safely. That's why her parents also felt ease when she gone with him.
She informed her parents and waved at Jie Zihan who was waiting for her with his car.
"How do I look?!" She twirled around.
"You look beautiful!!" He smiled. Really beautiful.
"Thank you!!" She hugged him.
***
The journey towards the pub was entertaining as always. At last the car stopped at the garage and they came out.
"Stop Zi Han!! I have to tell you something." Chang Mingxia grabbed his hands.
Jie Zihan turned. "What?!" He asked.
"Zi Han..... I have decided... Today I will confess to De Longjun....." Chang Mingxia looked at Jie Zihan.... Would you tell me to stop?!
"Oh!!" He looked at her... Shocked. "Do you think this is a right time?! Everyone will be there!!" Please don't do that. You will be hurt for sure.... I don't want that.
"No! Zi Han!! I have decided to do it. I can't wait no more." She gave an affirmative response. I want to confess to you... For that I need to let it out....
"Haaa....." Zi Han sighed. "Okay.... You can do it. But do it secretively. I will arrange a meeting with only two of you." He turned. His heart is feeling uneasy. He doesn't want her to confess..... But he promised he would help her. So its my duty to complete that promise...
"Thank you!!" She hugged him from behind. "Can we go?!" She walked in front.
"Wait!!" Suddenly Jie Zihan grabbed her hand. It was an impulse.
She looked at her hands and his face. "What?!" She asked.
"Nothing!!" He shook his head and let of her hand. "Nothing...." She nodded and both of them hurried to their destination.
***
"Zi Han!! Hey man!! You are with Chang Mingxia!! Come here!!" One of his friends hugged both of them.
Jie Zihan looked at De Longjun and Chang Mingxia.
She smiled at him and sat in an empty sofa.
Oone of them rang the bell and ordered more drinks.
"Don't drink more!!" Jie Zihan reminded her.
"Jeeesshh!! I know!!" She sighed and began to sip her drink.
***
The drinking and discussions continued. By time, many of them become drunk and let themselves out of the room. There were only few who where not yet drunk. It was Chang Mingxia, Jie Zihan, De Longjun and Feng Delun. All others left to their own home and the room turned silent.
Because of the tension, Jie Zihan had not yet drank as he usually drink.
Chang Mingxia turned at him and signaled with her eyes. She took her phone and sent him a message.
Now is time. I need to get back home.
After reading the message, Jie Zihan looked at her in a worried expression. Then nodded and stood up.
"Feng Delun. Come with me.... I need to say something to you." He poked Feng Delun.
"What is it?!" Feng Delun questioned.
"Come outside. I don't want to talk about it here!!" He pulled.
"Okay!! Let me!! Gosh!!" Feng Delun stood up.
"Mingming, sit here. I will be back within no time." Jie Zihan told to Chang Mingxia.
"Okay!! I will wait for you here!!" She smiled.
Both guys left the room. Jie Zihan stopped at the door and turned back. He looked at her for sometime.
Thank you. She mouthed.
He nodded. Then left.
The door closed and the room turned silent again.
De Longjun kept the glass in his hand in the table and looked at her. "Tell me." His voice is cold.
Chang Mingxia stood up. "De Longjun.... I want to tell you something could you please hear it?!"
He nodded.
"The thing is.... The thing is.... I want to confess.... I.... I had a crush on you since I first saw you...." She gulped.
"Continue."
"But I... I found out after some years.... It was just an attraction.... And I... Without knowing.... I fell in love with someone...."
"Then why are you confessing to me now!! Don't you already love him?!"
"Its just.... I just want to tell you.... I want to confess to him.... Before that I want to end this. You are the first man I had crush. So.... I just want to tell you."
"So.... When are you going to tell Jie Zihan?!"
"Jie Zihan still..." She paused and looked at him... Exclaimed....
***
After talking with Feng Delun, Jie Zihan hurried back to their room. He must have rejected her. She must be crying!!
He opened the room's door. But what he saw shocked him....
Chang Mingxia was hugging De Longjun... She was smiling happily....
He looked at the scene..... His body moved automatically and turned and walked towards the main door....
"Zi Han... Wait...!!!" He could hear her voice.... Is it in my head? He stopped and turned back. Chang Mingxia was running towards him....
