You're My Only Star

Xia Yu looked at the man in front of her, feeling anxious at what he was about to tell her.

The look on Huo Yun Chen's face was too serious. XiaYu did not know what he wanted to say, but it was making her scared.

"What do you want to say?"

Huo Yun Chen contemplated on how he should bring up the matter in his mind.

While he was in the kitchen, washing the dishes, Huo Yun Chen had a quiet time to himself to give a long thought about Xia Yu.

They haven't known each other for a long time or had too many interactions.

During his hospitalization, he had a bit of misunderstanding towards Xia Yu, thinking that she was an anti-fan, especially with the cold way she had treated him.

However, everything started to change again after they met again in A City. He gets to see a different side of her. Then, she began to stay with his assistant where he get to see her more.

In the past few months, he realized that he had feelings for her. After the moments they shared in the living room, Huo Yun Chen was sure of his feelings.

Even though it was still a tiny spark, he decided that he should take this chance.

After all, the last time he had liked someone, his love story had to end before it begin. He was too late to confess his feelings and the girl had belonged to someone else.

This time, he shouldn't make the same mistake again.

Xia Yu flinched as Huo Yun Chen came closer to her. She leaned back and realized that she had no way to escape. Xia Yu began to panic and that was when she heard his question.

"Xia Yu, let's... go out."

Her eyes were wide as she stared back at him. "Where are you going?"

Huo Yun Chen realized that he had not arranged his words properly. "No. That's not what I meant." He rubbed at his nose, feeling slightly exasperated. "What I mean is..." He paused to take a deep breath. "Xia Yu, I like you. Will you go out with me?"

The silence between them lasted for a minute.

Xia Yu looked at the handsome man in front of her with a dazed look on her face. Her hand moved to her thigh and she gave herself a tight pinch. The pain was too much and she nearly hissed.

If this was not a dream, then it must be that her ears were playing tricks on her.

"Xia Yu, let's start dating." Huo Yun Chen rephrased his words when the girl sat there without giving her any reaction.

Xia Yu blinked.

It seemed that her ears were not playing tricks on her.

However... what did she just hear?

Why would Huo Yun Chen ask her to date him? Moreover... did he just say that he liked her? How can it be possible?

Her expression was blank but her mind was chaotic. There were a lot of thoughts coming to her head all at once, making it hard for her to think of his question.

"Xia Yu?"

Noticing that he was stretching his hand to touch her cheek, Xia Yu finally snapped out of her trance.

"Why do you want to date me?"

"I like you, isn't that enough reason?"

Xia Yu tugged at the hem of her shirt. Her heart was pounding loud and she was having a hard time believing what was going on.

She was only a fan who did not dare to dream of anything. She only wanted to like him and support him quietly as his fan. She did not deserve this.

Her lips curled into a mocking smile. She could not understand why would he like her. She did not have anything with her. These days, she could only depend on him and Little Star to go on and escape her life.

A light flashed in her eyes. Xia Yu started to wonder if Huo Yun Chen wanted to play a joke on her.

"I meant what I said. I like you," Huo Yun Chen continued. "I know that we didn't know each other for a long time and that might give you the reason to reject me. But Xia Yu, a dating process for a couple to get to know each other. I hope that you will give me a chance to get to know you well. And to give you the chance to get to know me. Not as the celebrity Huo Yun Chen, but as the real Huo Yun Chen."

Xia Yu opened her mouth as if to say something. But Huo Yun Chen had spoken again, blocking her from saying the words she wanted to say.

"Please don't reject me so quickly."

Xia Yu bit her lips as she looked into his pleading eyes. The rejection in her mouth was stuck in her throat. She realized that she did not have the heart to hurt him. At least for now.

"At least, you should think about this properly before you give your answer. I will give you time."

Xia Yu hesitated. His eyes were full of hope that she would agree. She swallowed and the initial answer she had for him disappeared.

"Alright. Give me time to think about it."

Even though she might not change her mind regarding this matter, she should, at least, consider his question properly.

Xia Yu thought about the trial that she had to attend.

Perhaps, she would give him her answer after she return from A City and settle her problem.

His eyes brightened up upon hearing her answer. He had the urge to pull the girl into his arms but seeing her defensive posture, Huo Yun Chen decided to suppress that feeling.

He would be patient.

He had said what he wanted to say. Then, he could only stay by her side and slowly let her lower her guard against him.

"Xia Yu, thank you."

...

A few days later, Xia Yu headed to the airport with a caretaker that Song Xing Xing had arranged for her. The caretaker helped her into the wheelchair and pushed her towards the departure hall to wait for their flight.

The two of them were waiting at the side when Xia Yu suddenly heard someone call out her name.

She raised her head and saw Song Xing Xing walking over with a smile on her face.
