Chapter 374 - Hillbilly On Steroids
Ye Jun could tell that Azalea wasn’t willing to give up without trying. And he didn’t push her either. She needed to face this phase herself. He could warn her but couldn’t possibly stop her.
Back in the living room, he couldn’t find Jun Li Na which made his eyes to wander around trying to look for her. He thought he was the biggest idiot since when she came he wanted to ignore her but when his eyes can’t find her, he’s feeling jittery.
"Sis, where is bro?" Ye Jun questioned Xu Mey.
After eyeing him for a while she said, "I think upstairs." She knew who he was asking for and that’s why she gave the answer he was looking for.
Without wasting any time, Ye Jun went upstairs. All of a sudden, the door of the guest room opened and he was pulled inside. Before he could react, the door was closed behind him and he heard a ’click’ indicating that the door was locked.
"You! What are you doing?" Ye Jun made a defensive pose as he stared at Jun Li Na as if she was a predator and he was her prey.
Jun Li Na didn’t give him an answer. Instead, she languidly took a seat on the edge of the bed. Other than their even breaths there was no other sound in the room. But this silence made Ye Jun feel like time was ticking extremely slow.
"Are you gonna say anything or should I leave?" Ye Jun finally managed to voice out.
"Are you done throwing your childish tantrum?" She asked her question in response.
"Childish tantrum? What do you take me as?" Ye Jun was livid as he heard her describing his anger as a tantrum. What was he? A spoiled brat? Hmph!
He was standing before her while his eyes stared at her with fury while her eyes were calm as water. She merely held his hand and pulled him making him sit beside herself. She didn’t leave his hand while she placed her head on his shoulder making him stiffen up a bit.
"We have two choices…… Either you and I can let your ego rule here or we can sit down and have a sensible conversation. I would love to let your ego rule but not this time. I have a lot to say and if I didn’t say it today, I won’t be able to ever say it. Now, the choice is yours." Her words made Ye Jun think for a moment longer.
A moment ago, he thought he was very angry with her. It was his fault for falling in love with her. If they hadn’t met, he wouldn’t have fallen so badly. But he couldn’t change it. He met her, he liked her, and since he liked her, he couldn’t stop himself from loving her. And at this moment as her sweet scent overwhelmed his senses, he realized how much he actually missed her. He wasn’t angry. He just missed her. He did! He still does! And perhaps, he will keep doing it.
"But if you really have someone else now, I won’t come-," before she could complete her sentence, he interrupted her.
"I would rather show my childish tantrums to you than fall in love with someone else." Although he was grumbling with a broody face, his words made Jun Li Na feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
She exhaled a long breath and mentally prepared herself. She had a long speech for him but now, her mind was all jumbled up. What was she supposed to say? She couldn’t remember. But decided to just roll with the punches at this moment.
She sat up straight and faced him. With her one leg folded on the bed while the other one dangling from the bed, she was still holding on to his hands as if to ask him to provide some courage. Even Ye Jun could tell that she was nervous since her legs had been shaking all this while.
"Do you remember our first meeting?" she asked.
"Yeah. It was at the bachelorette party for my sis-in-law which was at your club," he answered.
"Not really." Ye Jun frowned at her reply. "It was at Shuang’s eighteenth birthday party. And my first impression of you was…… Well, let’s just say I hated you."
Ye Jun couldn’t help but cough at the reminder of his dark history. No wonder she was so biased towards him and called him irresponsible. She saw him when he was in his rebellious phase. Urgh! Why? He was cursing his fate for such a damn twist.
Why did she have to see that version of me? He was really like a hillbilly on steroids during those days. Although Fu Shuang’s eighteenth birthday was a huge affair, boys being boys got into a huge fight. The entire club was left in shambles by their fighting endeavors. His friend group remembered that incident as a remarkable history but surely, he couldn’t agree with them anymore.
His love life was at stake because of a stupid fight!
