5 Not rumours.

Alevia was shell shocked after hearing his words. Pursue her? She had never been pursued in her whole life. Yes, she did get some love letters and gifts from most boys but she was never pursued. She had never gone on dates despite having a boyfriend. She had never kissed someone before or let any man touch her romantically. So, the thought of being pursued made her wanting to jump up in anticipation.

"You want to pursue me?" Alevia asked aloud for confirmation. She wanted to make sure that her ears were not playing tricks on her. It was the first time she heard a man openly confessing that he will pursue his crush.

"Aah? Wait... I said it aloud, didn't I?" Alevia nodded her head in a positive way indicating that he indeed said it aloud.

"So the rumours are true." She raised her perfect eyebrows at him.

"Which rumours?" His face remained stoic while his eyes held confusion. If she didn't know better, she would think that this man has facial paralysis.

"The rumours that you.....like me." She hesitated to tell him. She was afraid that if it was a negative answer, it would be so embarrassing.

"No." Alevia was shocked and at the same time, she was a but disappointed. She didn't know why she was disappointed but she could not help but feel a tinge of sadness. But her disappointment and sadness faded away with his next line, "Those are not rumours. It's called facts."

Is that a confession? She didn't know but she was now so sure that this guy has fallen for her.

"Why do you like me?" This was a question that she always wanted to ask her admirers. She didn't want anyone to like her based on looks. She wanted someone to truly like the real her instead of her appearance.

"What's there not to like about you? You are smart and very kind. You have a character to admire. You are the type of person who would be the first one to show up if your friends are in trouble. You find happiness in others happiness. Very selfless. Is that enough or should I go on?" What a way to shut her mouth!

She was satisfied with his words. He made it clear that he liked her character and the real her. Not the school beauty Alevia. She was willing to give him a chance. She knew that Zhao Yang was the type of man who will be very loyal towards his partner for the rest of his life. He was a reliable man. Not like that Chen Yufan. But she is not going to simply accept him now within a day of knowing each other. Only fools will do that. She will observe him and his character from now on in the campus and make sure that he is the right choice for her. Plus a selfish part of her wanted to be pursued by him.

"Such a sweet talker you are. Well, if you finish your dinner, then keep it here. Aunt Laura will come back and take it. There's a wash room in the room. Take a bath. And as for the clothes, there should be some clothes in the walk in closet in this room. Before you assume anything, it's not Chen Yufan's. I bought it for my brother but I haven't had the time to visit him. So the clothes are here. It'll fit you." Alevia got off from the couch, ready to ho out of her room.

"Okay." He tore his eyes away from the food and looked at her intently.

"Good night." Alevia subconsciously said it after being stared at by him very intently.

"Good night. Sleep well." His eyes was so gentle and doting that for a moment, Alevia hesitated to part away from him. They were very dark and deep, slowly invading her soul. His face held a small smile which was barely noticeable.

After a minute staring contest, Alevia slowly made her way out of his room and into her room.

She changed her clothes and laid down on the bed. Surprisingly she was knocked out the moment she fall on the bed. It was very surprising for a insomniac to sleep that fast.

The night was surprisingly peaceful for both of them. Alevia had none of the usual wake up sessions in the middle of the night nor did she struggle to fall asleep. She almost felt like she was back with her family without any problems.

On the other hand, Zhao Yang slept really well dreaming about his possible future with his crush. Normally, he will dream of himself suffering while seeing his crush and her boyfriend together. More like a nightmare. But this time, he dreamt of her walking towards him in the alter. It was satisfying indeed.

After a long yet short night, Alevia woke up as her biological alarm woke her up at 5.00 am. She did her morning exercises before she decided to shower and get ready.

By the time she dressed up, it was already 7.00 am. She will have to go to the University around 8.30 am. So she made her way to the guest room only to find a certain devil still in his dreamland.

Alevia sat next to him in the bed.

"Zhao Yang, wake up. We will get late." She shook him awake from his dreamland.

Zhao Yang was usually a light sleeper. So, he woke up pretty quickly. Originally, he was ready to make the one who wake him to face his wrath. But he didn't expect to see his goddess' face the moment he opened his eyes. He wouldn't have believed the scene infront of him. But fortunately, he started to recall last night's activities. Otherwise, it would be too embarassing.

"Good morning." He greeted in a deep, raspy voice. It was too sexy.

Alevia had never been attracte to any one's voice except hers. She was simply a girl who loves herself and her family more than anyone. So, she was never attracted to anything or anyone since she was a kid. But his voice not only made her attracted but also made her want to hear it every morning. If Zhao Yang heard her now, he will not hesitate to decide to stay in her house forever so that he could see her everyday and also to attract her by his voice.

"Good morning! Hurry up or we'll be late." Alevia ran outside of the room with her tails between her legs.

On the other hand, Zhao Yang was very confused after seeing her running like her life's depended on it. He briefly wondered if he done something to chase her away. Ignoring the millions of possibilities popping in his mind, he made his way to the shower so that he can get ready for the University.
