Li Ya stirred her strawberry milkshake, "Mei Xiang, what do you think I should do?"
"I think Brother Cheng cares about you, that's why he hasn't..." Mei Xiang lowered her voice, and for safety, the two started speaking in their native languages.
Mei Xiang said in Japanese, "He is a responsible man. If he really touched you, he would take responsibility. But he is obviously not ready yet, or rather, he doesn't want to ruin the relationship between you."
Su Liya replied in English, "But, Mei Xiang, I can't wait any longer."
She said anxiously, "I'm afraid he will completely forget me, or rather, he has already changed his mind."
Mei Xiang sighed, "Li Ya, matters of the heart cannot be rushed. You should give him time, as well as yourself."
"But, I really like him a lot." Su Liya's voice became softer, with a hint of crying.
"I know, I know. But liking someone doesn't mean possessing them. You must learn to accept this fact."
