Kapitel 199: Ming’s Confession 3
That day when Ming Yue Guang had met Li Ming for the first time, the man was also in an emotional mess. Yue Guang did not have many people in his life whom he would say he was close with, much less someone he could share his everything with. That night, he had saved a total stranger who had listened to his story and he had realised how cute that stranger was.
That stranger had also just went through a terrible love confession and was emotional. Yet, at that point, when he was most vulnerable, Ming Yue Guang felt for the first time that he wanted to protect that stranger. It was a weird feeling considering how they had never met before until that night. However, that was what was running through his head at that time.
When he realised that Li Ming was actually a university student and studied in the same school as him, it gave Ming Yue Guang even more purpose to interact with him. And so, he did just that. This was the first time Ming Yue Guang had liked anyone before and so, all he knew what to do was to be by his side. To Yue Guang, Li Ming had the perfect amount of quirkiness and seriousness. He would only talk when he felt like it was needed. It was a very soothing atmosphere when they were together.
Five month into Ming Yue Guang's weird pursuit, the senior did not know exactly how he should confess to Li Ming. He had many opportunities to do so, but after all, it was his first time ever liking someone, much less a boy. He had search the internet, but most of the time, the situation was targetted at someone of the opposite sex.
And so, Ming Yue Guang decided that after his debut match, he would confess to Ming that he liked him. Who knew that the plan was thrown straight out of the window when Li Ming had told him that he would be leaving the country in two days time. Ming Yue Guang was truly stumped at that point. He had been so dead set on confessing that when his plan had been ruined, he did not know how to function properly.
It was only when Li Ming initiated and confessed first, did Ming Yue Guang see light at the end of the tunnel. The boy broke out of his stupor and confessed too.
"I like you too. I have liked you ever since I had met you that very day on the bridge." Ming Yue Guang spoke directly into Ming's ear.
"Huh? Yo..You do too?"
"Of course, I have liked you since I met you!"
"Wh..What?" Li Ming blushed at such a straightforward comment. Ming Yue Guang could not be bothered by secondhand embarrassment and just grinned brightly.
"Li Ming, thank you for liking me back."
"Ah? thank you too?" What came next for the both of them was just painfully awkward. For the two Mings, this was the first time either of them had received a confession from anyone. They did not know what to do. Rather, they decided to walk it off as they headed down the familiar road that they had walked together before.
"You are fully certain that you going to Country U is the right thing?" Ming Yue Guang asked the question that was burning in him since they were at the stadium.
"Yes, I am certain." Li Ming did not hesitate.
"How will our relationship work then?"
"I..I don't know."
"Do you want to be together even though you are going to be in Country U for a long time?"
"I…"
"It's okay if you do not want it. Long distance is never easy." Ming Yue Guang looked ahead as he tried to smile it off. "I watched as my mother wait for my father to come back from his missions for months on end. She had done this for many years and till this day, I do not know how she does it."
While Ming Yue Guang spoke, Li Ming courageously held his senior's hand once again. This time, it was because he wanted to genuinely connect with Yue Guang. "I want to try long distance with you, Yue Guang."
Ming Yue Guang heart started beating faster when Li Ming held his hand. "You believe that we can work this out?"
"I believe so." Li Ming nodded, "Your mother told me this just now. That love will travel as far as you let it. There is no limits should you let yourself love your significant other as much as you can."
"My mother told you that?"
"Yeah," The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly. The older lady was clearly trying to set it up for the both of them.
"I will come visit you whenever I can then." Ming Yue Guang decided.
"You do not have to do that."
"I do not have to, but I want to." The senior was especially good with words. It was one of the reasons why Li Ming liked him so much. Since their hands were locked together, Ming Yue Guang started moving his newly found boyfriend along. "Let us not waste anymore time and go have some fun together."
"Alright," Ming agreed.
The new couple decided to go watch a movie together that night, followed by gazing at the night sky by a riverside. The next day, they headed to Grand Theme Park together. The last time Ming was there was when he found out about Gray and Sato's relationship. This time, it was a whole another sensation. They laughed and enjoyed each other's company to the fullest and made sure to take many photos together. By Sunday, there was reluctance written all over the couple's faces. However, at the end of the day, it was for the best.
"See you in a few months time," Ming Yue Guang announced to Li Ming who stood by the airport check-in entrance. A hug, a kiss and a temporary wave goodbye. That was Li Ming's end of one life chapter, but also, the start of another.
