บท 197: Ming’s Confession 1
During the next few days, Ming was finalising his student Visa and coordinating paper work in for his admission in MIST. His head was also always visualising how he would break the news to Ming Yue Guang. To the boy, if Sato was his first light in his life, Ming Yue Guang was his second light. This first light symbolised hope in disparity. The second light symbolised growth that came with time.
His relationship with Ming Yue Guang grew stronger with time. The senior Ming would always make the effort to ask Li Ming to come out for meals. Most of the time, the pair would enjoy meals in the cafeteria as the second year student did not have much money. However, sometimes, Ming Yue Guang would take him out for a simple delicious meal outside of school. Compared to his time with Sato, Ming did not start of his friendship with Ming Yue Guang with a secret love scenario.
Instead, with time, his friendship with Ming Yue Guang grew into something else. The senior helped him relieve the pains that he felt in the past. Although, he would never be able to forget about his first love, Ming Yue Guang's ever bright smile would help keep his emotions in track. Even on days when he would worry about Sato's health, the older student would cheer Ming up with jokes or tell stories to keep him entertained.
Ming never really knew where this friendship between him and Yue Guang would end up. He simply took things one step at a time and five months later, when he had finally reached a standstill point, he noticed how far he came in his life. These five months had been an extremely crucial part in Li Ming's life. He had learnt how to be independent and make his own decisions without consulting his controlling parents. He had learnt when to be dependent on others around him. He had learnt how to be a human.
One part of being a human was learning and understanding the feelings that one has for others. The feeling could vary from person to person. Most of the time these feelings would not surmount to anything important. However, for certain individuals, the feelings would deepen and grow into something he or she would care about. For Li Ming, he realised on the day that he had to tell Ming Yue Guang that he was leaving, that he had developed a liking for the older boy.
Ming Yue Guang had saved front row seats for his mother and Li Ming. On the day of the soccer match, Li Ming sat beside Ming Yue Guang's mother, Melisa. She was a sweetheart that truly cared for her son's well-being. The whole time, Melisa would be worried that Yue Guang would get injured once again. Her hands were clasped together like she was praying. During half times, Melisa would get a breather and converse with Ming.
She knew that her son had made a 'close' friend in the past few months and that person was Li Ming. From observations at home, in her heart, she knew that there was something going on between the two Mings. Even though neither of them wanted to make a move, she could tell that there was compatibility in both of them.
"Little Ming, what do you think of my son?" Melisa asked in a normal voice. Even though the surrounding atmosphere in the stadium was rather loud, Ming had heard her question clearly.
In his head, he did not know how he should answer.
"You can tell me your honest opinion. There is no need to hide anything." Seeing Melisa's carefree expression, Ming decided that it was fine to not have any barrier ups around him.
"I think Yue Guang is a sweet and funny friend. He helped me out of my darkest moments in life and allowed me to grow as a person."
"Do you like my son?" Melisa asked straightforwardly, which stumped the young man.
"I..I do like your son."
"Good."
"Good?"
"Yes hahaha," Melisa laughed wholeheartedly. She felt relieved after hearing that confession from Li Ming, "I as a mother was worried that my son would forever not have anyone in his life."
"But.. I have not told my feelings to Yue Guang yet. How do you know that he would accept me?"
"Mmm… A mother's intuition." Melisa winked cheekily. How could a mother not know what their son was thinking deep down.
"Auntie, I do have a problem though…" Li Ming did not hide his plans on moving to Country U for his studies. In the end, Melisa laughed lightly at the problem that the boy had told her.
"There is no need to worry too much about long distance, little Ming. Yue Guang's father and I were also separated by distance for many months on end and till this day, even after he left this world, my heart still belonged to him. If the both of you truly enjoy each other's company, there will be no need to split up just because of the distance." That was what Ming Yue Guang's mother thought about love.
"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. That was why our bond never grew weaker over the years."
Hearing what Melisa had said, Li Ming's head was preoccupied by her advice for the rest of the game. In the end, on Ming Yue Guang's debut match, the talented young man had scored two goals that secured victory of 3 - 2. It was a sensational match that allowed Yue Guang to integrate into the team properly. The fans were happy to see a newcomer perform well on his first day and Ming Yue Guang himself was glad that his mother and Li Ming was able to watch his game in person.
Looking up into the crowd, Ming Yue Guang saw Li Ming who was staring absentmindedly at the field. Waving about, he caught the attention of the young man. Even though Li Ming smiled back lightheartedly, Yue Guang felt a sense of foreboding.
