"Brother Jun! Here!"
Mei Lin's soft voice called out to Jun who had just arrived for their first date.
"Sorry I'm late. How long have you been waiting?"
June said as he sit in front of Mei Lin.
"It's okay. I just got here too."
Mei Lin answered with a sweet smile. She played with her shoulder-level hair to control her nervousness.
"Waiter! I want to order."
A beautiful waiter came and took Jun's order. She smiled alluringly as she took Jun's order. Mei Lin's eyes didn't leave Jun even for a moment. Telling the beautiful waiter that the man is already taken.
She also creak a sinister smile for the waiter. "You didn't even smile when you took my order earlier... now you're smiling from ear to ear... what's your motive, little girl?"
"I'd like to order an iced americano."
"An iced americano. Okay Sir. Please wait a moment Sir, we will prepare your order now."
The waiter answered softly then walked away.
"So... what do you want to tell me?"
Jun asked without waiting long. He was unsure if what she wanted to say was about his younger brother, XiangXiang.
"Urghhhh... this man is not romantic at all." Mei Lin slurped her iced latte furiously.
"Err... I don't know how to start."
Mei Lin answered in monotones. Her blazing enthusiasm just now was extinguished by Jun's nonchalant demeanor.
"It's okay. You can tell me slowly."
Jun begins to notice changes in Mei Lin's character. From a woman who was so majestic to a woman who looked too disappointed. He knew there was something he did that made Mei Lin become like that.
"You look different with your new hair."
Mei Lin looked up. Smile. She straightened her hair while smiling shyly.
"Really?"
Mei Lin sipped her iced latte. And for the first time, she could taste the most sweet and refreshing iced latte.
"Yes. It really suits you. This hairstyle really makes your face look soft and young."
Jun said again. Mei Lin's face was already flushed red all the way to her ears.
"You're exaggerating. It's just normal. I just want to try this hairstyle."
Mei Lin playing coy as she tried her best to control her nervousness.
"I'm telling the truth. This hairstyle really suits you."
"Sir, your iced americano."
With a sweet smile, the waiter served Jun's order right in front of him.
"Okay, Thanks."
Mei Lin watched Jun's every move as he enjoyed his iced Americano. Mei Lin's lips slowly carved a sweet grin.
"Thank you for helping me resolve the problem with Yee Yen last week. I really appreciate it."
"It's not a problem. I just don't like her insulting XiangXiang like that. Because I'm also in the process of XiangXiang growth."
Hearing that from Mei Lin's mouth, Jun smiled calmly. Felt like all of the burden of his life flew away without a trace.
"But...I hope you will continue to be with me in the next process of XiangXiang growth."
Jun said in a low tone while sipping his iced americano. His face was red with embarrassment. He wasn't that shy when he proposed to Yee Yen. But now, for some reason, his shyness was as thick as a book of laws in the kingdom of heaven.
"Can I really join you in the process?"
Mei Lin said excitedly. Who knows if this time the results won't be as disappointing as they were five years ago.
Jun looked deeply into Mei Lin's face. Trying to find the meaning behind all of Mei Lin's words just now. Does Mei Lin also have feelings for him? No way. He and Mei Lin were born from two different worlds.
"If...you're willing. But..."
Jun's voice was slow, trying to find courage in his lack of confidence. It's impossible for a woman like Mei Lin to choose him. An ordinary man with an ordinary life. Who working hard to support his younger brother. It's just in a fairy tale for the love sealed between him and Mei Lin.
"I'm willing. But...you...don't like a rude women like me. You also rejected my love before."
Mei Lin said as she looked down. She slowly sipped her iced latte.
"I rejected your love? When?"
Jun asked in surprise. When did Mei Lin express her love for him? As far as he could remember, that had never happened. If it happening, it would be impossible for him to forget. Because he had also harbored feelings for Mei Lin for a long time. The only woman XiangXiang truly loved besides his late mother.
"There is. You're the only one who forgot abou it"
"When?"
"When I asked you if you wanted to be my model for the rest of your life."
Hearing that answer, Jun burst out laughing. Mei Lin's face turned redder. She quickly slapped Jun's shoulder gently.
"Sorry. I didn't know that was your love confession for me? You know what...after I saw how you treated JiaJia...Who wants to be your model?"
Jun continued, still laughing. Mei Lin's face turned sour. She was angry when her love confession were taken for trivial by the person she loved.
"Sorry. I really didn't know it was your love confession. Please stop making that face. You're making me feel guilty."
"That's what I want you to feel. Stupid!" Mei Lin grumbled angrily. She didn't expect that her love confession would be misinterpreted all this time. She felt really stupid when she thinks about it.
"So.....what's it like now? Are you willing to be my model for the rest of your life?"
Mei Lin asked firmly. Try her best to seal the love that has been hidden in her heart for a long time.
Jun was silent. Still hesitant. It wasn't that he didn't love her. Mei Lin was his first love. There was no replacement even though he tries to love others. Because their status is their biggest obstacle.
"What are you afraid of? My status?"
Mei Lin asked bluntly.
"Is it because of my family status or my mother's family status as a mafia?"
Mei Lin's voice was trembling. Her heart was sad. It seemed that her love would be rejected once again. And she began to believe that being born as a woman in the Pei family was a curse.
"Mei Lin...I don't deserve to be by your side. An ordinary man like me..."
"Are ordinary men only for ordinary women? What about women like us who just want to live an ordinary life with an ordinary men?"
Mei Lin's voice was on the verge of tears. Jun started to panic. Seeing the woman he loved crying, his heart began to break.
"Mei Lin...let's take it slow."
Persuade Jun gently. In his heart he prayed, if Mei Lin was the best for him and XiangXiang, he hoped that God would grant that everything would go smoothly between the two of them.
Mei Lin nodded in agreement. In her heart, she was determined to fight for her love until the end of her life.
