SORCERESS 101 235 Bridge Over Troubled Water 2

"Well, if that was me, I will accept her confession wholeheartedly."

"You will accept it wholeheartedly???!!!"

Yun Xue was taken aback when he heard Su Yan's answer. It was like he did not even bat an eye when he decided about it.

"Well, don't get me wrong... When I said I will accept it wholeheartedly, I mean it. But it does not mean, that I will reciprocate it right away. It's not like that."

"Then why would you even accept it in the first place??? Aren't you just giving the other party a false hope??? Why don't you just turn it down right away if you have no intention in reciprocating the feelings???"

"Do you honestly think if I refuse that confession, it will erase her feelings for me????"

"Well, not necessarily. But at least he will stop himself having any ideas like being together with you anymore. Since he knew that he won't have a chance to you at all,.."

"HE??? So it's a boy???? Give a second, is it some Boy Love kind of thing?!!!!!"

Mu Lingxi asked in astonishment. Never did she imagine that they were talking about a confession between two men in here. She thought it was some heterogenous relations.h.i.+p at most.

Fl.u.s.tered, Yun Xue immediately takes back his words.

"What??!!!! NO!!!! It is not like that!!! Haist! It's a she!!! A GIRL!!! What are you even thinking?! I just got confused, something like that----"

"Huh? So when you said 'a friend' you are referring to a girl???? Give me a second! So is it really just a friend, or are we talking about the girl you like??? So are you having a love rival??? Hmmm..."

"---and my friend is a boy. It's a boy we are talking about. A friend!!!! Hey! How did we even end up with a love rival???? You're making me more confused!!!"

Yun Xue was actually not done with his explanation yet when Mu Lingxi b.u.t.ted in. So Yu Xue was given another shock while he was in the middle of his words.

"Okay, Okay... You don't have to be agitated about??? I get it now. TCH! It was you who confused me in the first place. Anyways, if someone confesses to you----

"How many times do I have to tell you??? It's not about me!"

"Okay, my bad. It is not you. It does not have anything to with you at all. It is all about your friend. So as I'm saying if someone confessed to YOUR friend. Your friend should just accept it. Then your friend just had to explain to the other party which happened to be another friend of yours what their situation is."

Mu Lingxi purposely emphasized the word 'friend' every time she used it. Although Yun Xue realized that Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) was making fun of him, his curiosity still gets the better of him. So he continued asking.

"What situation??? Explain what??

"Well, for example, If I think that there is a chance between us. Then I'll tell her that we can give it a try. Well, that would be the best result. But if ever I don't think that there is any chance between us at all. Then I should still accept her confession to make her feel at ease. But at the same time, I will explain to her that it is impossible between us."

'If Long Fuzi did it just like that and did not force me into marriage right away. Then maybe our relations.h.i.+p did not turn sour and ended up like this.'

That thought crossed Mu Lingxi's mind at that split second.

"Won't you start avoiding her after she confessed her feelings to you?"

"Why should I??? It is not as if she did something wrong to me??? Besides, won't it just hurt her even more If I will do that to her??? I already turn down her feelings, should I be crueler as to forbid her to love me??? I mean, it is not like it will work like that."

"You mean to say that you will just allow her to love you even though you can't love her back???"

"Well, it is not as if she will stop loving me if I told her to stop feeling that way towards me, anyway. Love can't be forced to someone. At the same time, it cannot be taken away easily too. We can't control who we should and we should not love "

We can't control who we should and we should not love...

We can't control who we should and we should not love...

We can't control who we should and we should not love...

Those last words continued to resound inside Yun Xues's mind. It was like a ca.s.sette tape played in an endless loop.

Those words struck a chord in his heart because he can deeply relate to it.

Indeed. You really cannot dictate your heart over who it should and it should not love.

"Also, I believe that trying to restrain one's emotion is like holding a bath soap tightly on your hands while showering."

"Err??? How can that be related???"

"Well, the more you hold the soap tightly, the more it will just get away from your hand and you will soon lose control over it. Just like one's feelings. The more you are trying to restrain it, the more tendency that you will lose control over it in the future."

Mu Lingxi gave her earnest advice to Yun Xue. Not knowing that the 'friend' that they were talking about is actually her.

On the other hand, Yun Xue only felt more conflicted than he already was after talking to his friend Su Yan.

Because he still can't accept it to himself that he, the Ice King, actually fell in love with a man!!!

A freaking MAN!!!!

For crying out sake!!!!

That was pure insanity!!!!

It was definitely a huge blow to his pride.

"I don't want to be a gay. C'mon Yun Xue!! You can't be gay! So many beautiful ladies out there awaits for you..."

"Yeah, that is right. I'm must not be in my right mind recently. I have to divert my attention. Maybe I have been too cold-hearted towards the opposite s.e.x before that is why I am being like this."

" I should change for the better. A change in lifestyle."

"Yeah. That must be it... That is what I have to do!!! HOOOH!!!" 

Yun Xue continued his pep talk to convince himself.

While Mu Lingxi went back as soon as she and Yun Xue went on separate ways.

"I wonder why Yun Xue si so caught up about someone else love life??? I doubt it was really his friends. When did he even have that many friends??? Most likely it was him after all. Someone must have confessed her feeling to him. That is why he was so confused and troubled."

"But why is she venting out all his frustrations towards me the other days?? Why is he avoiding me?? It is not as if I'm the one who confessed to him??? Haist!!!! Whatever!"

Just like her friend, Mu Lingxi also had her own monologue after their conversation at the stone bridge.
