The Hater and the Player

Chapter 10

| Two hearts hurting from their foolishness |

He's exhausted, after a sleepless night and a day filled with his female assistant's lecture, he couldn't wait to go back.

He wanted to make things right and by doing that, he need to confront Feng Mian and ask her, again.

He just hopes he won't be rejected after this.

So he drove his Porsche car and in just a span of fifteen minutes, he was already sitting still on his car, waiting for her.

He was a ball of nerves with a hint of anticipation in between as he looked at several students and teachers, waiting for her to appear.

But he couldn't wait for a second before he got out and slap some glasses and mask on his face before striding towards the school.

"Excuse me, is Feng- I mean teacher Feng still here?" He ask one male teacher who he saw loitering on the hallways.

"Oh, she already left, I think I heard her going to xxx hospital" he said in passing before scrutinizing him with his gaze and before he could look further into his face, he mumbled a thanks and went out.

He feels like his heart is gonna leap out of his chest from too much anxiety. He wanted to call her and ask her what's wrong but then he remembered that he doesn't have her phone number.

It's been years since they have a proper conversation and has meet, eye to eye.

A life of an actor isn't that glamorous as it was in the outside, paparazzi look at them like their preys they couldn't wait to year apart.

He's been living with winds and waves along his life, such a luxurious life presented in TV was just a mask for their loneliness. After he became famous years ago, he's been walking on eggshells.

He doesn't want the media to prove his private life, let alone the people that's he's close to.

As soon as he neared to the hospital, his heart didn't cease it's loud thumping. He was about to enter the garage when he saw a familiar back and stopped.

His heart returned to it's normal rate and he was about to go out when he saw her hugging someone.

A man, it was a doctor just by looking at his white coat. She hugged him there, the two of them looking sweet as they snuggled up to each other.

It feels like there was a shard of glass that was continuously piercing his heart. His hand grasped the wheels till it turned white as he bit his lips till it drew blood.

He has gone blank, his eyes looking straight at the scene, his heart beating painfully at his chest. Screaming loudly in his head, he couldn't wait for his eyes to bleed and begone, he couldn't wait for everything to end.

So he drove out, not hearing the rest of the conversation and leaves with a painful and bitter heart.

...

After I talked to Peizhi, it wasn't the same anymore, I mean I feel like my steps are light and my heart isn't pressed by a boulder anymore.

In short, I feel completely fine.

I wanted to start anew with Ming Chen and for that to happen, I need to make things right by Peizhi and to stop leading him on with this situation. I think he can see clearly that our blind date doesn't have that spark or that the idea of us being married isn't really that appealing.

He likes me, but it wasn't enough for him to take things into another level. Thank goodness he didn't or else I'll be totally doomed for the rest of my life.

Now, sitting on my bed and wanted to call Ming Chen and ask him to meet with me, yet I realized that I don't have his number. Shoot.

So I called Liu Ying and it rang for a minute or so and she answered.

"Yes my dear Feng Mian?"

"Oh um...sorry for disturbing but...do you have his...number?" I don't need to tell her who this man is, I think she already knew judging by that shrill scream of hers.

"Wei Xiu! What's his number- what no! I don't mean any man's number- it's from Feng Mian! You idiot! Ming Chen's number, fast!" Then she recited a string of numbers while I wrote it on a price of paper before telling her thank you and a goodbye.

After that, my nerves were tightly clenched and my mind was just screaming for me to call him now yet my mind was the complete opposite.

I'm scared, I really am, but I knew that my fear won't get me to anything so I decided to take a deep breath and pinched his numbers.

It rang for like a couple of minutes and those couple of minutes felt like years. Truly, my hands are clammy and I can only shut my eyes thinking I'm about to hear his voice when the call was received.

"Hello? Who is this?"

I couldn't even breath properly, hearing a woman's voice from the other side made me feel like I just wore a green hat.

I hate to feel this way so the moment I heard her voice, I hang up.

Tears fell from my eyes and without any concern, I just let them dry there on my cheeks. I couldn't even function and was left in the four walls of my room, my heart beating so loud I could hear it besides my ears.

Knuckles clenched tight as I leaned on the head board, my mind replaying the events that happened earlier. Then I couldn't help but get teared up again, damn tears, I really can't force them to stop.

God, I wish I didn't call him today, maybe it was just his mother or someone he knew closely or maybe it was his girlfriend. Goodness me, I'm dying here from my thoughts.

I really wish I didn't call him today, I really do.

Notes:

• Winds and waves means difficulties, tough experiences
• Walking on eggshells means being very careful not to offend someone or do anything wrong.
• Wear a green hat means to be cuckolded by one’s wife.
