Chapter 559: Chapter 314: One Dares to Teach, One Dares to Learn_3
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."
Mei Xiang continued, "Li Ya, have you thought about it? Even if you really got involved with him, what then? Can it guarantee that he will love you forever? Can it ensure that he won’t leave you?"
Su Liya shook her head; she had to admit, Mei Xiang made a lot of sense.
"So," Mei Xiang held her hand firmly, "instead of using this method to fight for his love, it would be better to improve yourself, make yourself more excellent and more attractive to him."
"How can I improve?" Su Liya lifted her head, her eyes full of confusion.
Mei Xiang smiled, "Look, he has so many women, each with her own characteristics."
She counted on her fingers, "Just to mention those I know, Miss Xia, Miss Tong, they are very talented in finance. And these past few days, I met Miss Meng, who is an amazing Beijing Opera singer!"
Su Liya frowned tightly, "I can’t learn these things anytime soon!"
After thinking, she said, "Then that Liu Zhiya, what’s special about her? Just that she’s tall? I’m not much shorter, right?"
Mei Xiang found it reasonable after listening.
"Then let’s think, you know Sister Xiao Er, right?"
Su Liya nodded quickly.
"She is virtuous, gentle, and has a good figure." Mei Xiang shared her views, "Aunt Wen, on the other hand, is mature, beautiful, and wealthy."
"And you are..." Su Liya stared at Mei Xiang for a long while, "Sweet, cute, and sensible... Ah~ I don’t have any of these~ What should I do?"
Mei Xiang comforted her with a smile, "Don’t worry, you are enthusiastic, vibrant, and beautiful."
She paused, "And besides, we are still young, that’s our biggest asset. Youth is unbeatable, do you understand?"
Su Liya’s eyes brightened, "Right! I am still young!"
Mei Xiang encouraged her, "So, instead of thinking about how to ’compete’, think about how to showcase your unique charm. You have to believe you are unique, no one can replace you."
"Okay!" Su Liya nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with hope.
"As for Liu Zhiya..."
Mei Xiang thought for a moment, "Her advantage lies in being young, pure, and having a bit of a campus vibe. That kind of feeling is indeed very attractive to some men."
"Campus vibe?" Su Liya was a bit confused.
Mei Xiang explained, "It’s that unbeatable youth, the feel of being inexperienced. Like... a blank page, waiting to be colored."
Su Liya suddenly understood, "I see! A very innocent feeling, right?"
"Yes, you could say that." Mei Xiang affirmed, "But, you don’t need to deliberately imitate her. Just be yourself, showing your true charm is what’s most important."
"Okay! I got it!" Su Liya’s tone became much firmer.
"As for why Brother Cheng... hasn’t taken it a step further, I think it might be because he is concerned about your relationship with Aunt Wen."
Mei Xiang speculated, "After all, you are Aunt Wen’s daughter; he might not want things to get too complicated."
Su Liya also thought it made sense, but she was still somewhat unwilling, "Then... what should I do to let him understand my feelings?"
Mei Xiang whispered, "I think you could try laying it out to Brother Cheng."
"Laying it out? How?"
Mei Xiang cupped Li Ya’s ear, just as Li Ya had done to her in the car, and whispered a lot of things.
Li Ya’s smile became even brighter, and at the end, she excitedly clasped Mei Xiang’s hand, "Mei Xiang, you really are my good best friend!"
