Crashing Into You 227 LEE CHIN MEI

"I'll cook your brother's favorite." She said trying to figure out what's Lee Jin Ho's favorite food.

"Really? You're going to cook Shrimp Fried Rice?" 

Tan Ja Nin smiled. So shrimp fried rice was his favorite. Good thing, she bought some prawns. 

"Uhm" she answered. 

"That's my favorite too!" Said Lee Chin Mei and looked at her brother as she grinned.

Lee Jin Ho gave her a glaring look. This girl was really michievious. It was just her favorite not his.

"Help your big sis peel the shrimp and devein" He ordered.

"I didn't know how to peel the shrimp!" Lee Chin Mei stomped her feet.

Lee Jin Ho was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang. 

"Hello, Lu Jiaosheng!" said Lee Jin Ho when he answered the call. "What's up?" 

Lee Chin Mei got startled when she heard the name of Lu Jiaosheng.

"Are you free for two bottles tonight?" Lu Jiaosheng asked.

"Nah! I'm busy! Ask Ji Nan or Mor Tee." 

"What made you busy? You don't have a girlfriend to spend the night with like Mor Tee and Ji Nan?"

Lee Jin Ho curled up a smile. How he wanted to tell Lu Jioasheng about Tan Ja Nin but he needs to talk to Tan Ja Nin first before he announce it to their friends. He wanted to make clear with her of his real intention about her. "My sister is here in my pad tonight."

"Sister?" Lu Jiaosheng asked.

"Lee Chin Mei. Have you forgotten her? The 11 years old brat from 7 years ago who told you to wait for her to grow up so you could marry her when you got dumped by your ex-fiance?"

Lee Chin Mei gave his brother a glaring look. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. She was like a crazy kid who was trying to comfort Lu Jiaosheng when he got cuckolded by his girlfriend. Telling him that she wasn't the right woman for him. She even offered her 11-year old self to him and beg him to wait for her to grow up so she could marry him. 

Lu Jioasheng suddenly remember that cute little girl with big ponytail who always around whenever he was at the Lee Villa when he was in highschool. "So she must be 18 now! Tell her to wait for 2 more years then I'll marry her!" Lu Jiaosheng laughed as he said it because he was just kidding. 

Lee Jin Ho did not laugh. "Spare her!" He said on a serious tone.

"Bro, I was just kidding! If I am going to see her today, I might not even recognized her" 

"Okay! I'll hang up now!" Lee Jin Ho said.

"Okay. Bye!" Lu Jiaosheng said and was quite disappointed. 

After Lee Jin Ho ended the call he met Lee Chin Mei glaring look. "Why do you have to remind Lu Jioasheng about that from 7 years ago?" 

"It was because he has already forgotten you"

Lee Chin Mei pouted her lips. Of course how could he still remember her? She was just an annoying little kid who always love to hangout with them. 

"Don't tell me you still have a crush on Lu Jiaosheng?" Lee Jin Ho asked.

"Who said that I've got a crush on him?" 

"...."

"He was just so pathetic that day so I just comforted him" 

"Bu he said that you need to wait for two more years then he could marry you."

Lee Chin Mei was stunned.

"But of course he was just kidding!"

"Do you think I believed that?" Lee Chin Mei said angrily. 

Lee Jin Ho laughed histerically.

Tan Ja Nin looked at Lee Chin Mei and she was really angry. Her face was so red and was about to cry from anger. So she tried to stop Lee Jin Ho from teasing her.

"Jin Ho, please help me peel the prawns. Chin Mei, you can just wait at the living room and we will just call you once the dinner is ready!" 

Lee Chin Mei nodded and left the two of them in the kitchen and went to the living room.

Lee Chin Mei opened the tv. She tried different channels but it seems that every tv programs at that moment were all scrap so she just turned it off. She was pissed off.

....

After dinner, Lee Jin Ho sent Tan Ja Nin and Lee Chin Mei off to the ground floor. It was almost 9 in the evening. 

"Where do you live, big sis?" Lee Chin Mei asked while they were waiting for the cab.

"In a small apartment near the business district." 

"Oh, so you're now living alone?" 

"Yes!"

"Cool!" Lee Chin Mei said "It is also my dream to live on my own."

"You don't even know how to cook your own meal, how can you live on your own!" Lee Jin Ho chimed in.

Lee Chin Mei raised her brow. "That can be learned." 

The guard of the building approached them and told them that the cab has already arrived.

"You take the cab first!" Lee Jin Ho told Lee Chin Mei. "Call me when you got home!" 

"Okay! Nice to meet you big sister. Hope we can find time alone to bond with each other!" Lee Chin Mei said before she went inside the cab.

"Sure! Take care!" She gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you!" Said Lee Chin Mei and gave Lee Jin Ho a kiss on the cheek then went inside the cab. 

Lee Chin Mei waived at them when the cab started to leave. 

After the cab has left. Lee Jin Ho pulled Tan Ja Nin's hand. "Let's go back to my pad!" 

"...."

"Stay here for tonight please. Let's talk." Lee Jin Ho said. 

Tan Ja Nin nodded. They really need to talk. 

.....

Lee Jin Ho and Tan Ja Nin were sitting at the couch next to each other.

"Ja Nin, about earlier....I really mean it when I said that you are my girlfriend. Let's put a label into our relationship now." Lee Jin Ho said.

Tan Ja Nin face blushed. "Are we making it official?"

"Uhm" Lee Jin Ho nodded.

"Okay then." Tan Ja Nin said.

Lee Jin Ho smiled. "So you're my girlfriend now?" 

"We just made love for several times already and we could never go back to just being friends. The only way is to move up" Tan Ja Nin answered. 

"Yes and I am taking full responsibility." 

Tan Ja Nin nodded. "But can we just keep our relationship low-key right now?" 

"What do you mean?" Lee Jin Ho asked.

"Can we keep it as secret for now?"

"Why?" Lee Jin Ho frowned. 

"You know I am just starting in the entertainment industry. In fact, I have not established my name yet. Fans usually don't like the idea that their idol is already taken or in a relationship already. So can we keep it to ourselves for now and then if I have already established my career, I can finally announce it to the world." 

Lee Jin Ho did not reply. He wanted to support Tan Ja Nin on her career in the entertainment industry but he doesn't like the idea to keep their relationship a secret.

"Jin Ho...." She hooked her arms into his waist. 

"How long are we going to keep it?" 

"Until my career has been established and I have already built a strong fandom" She answered.

"Okay..."

Tan Ja Nin smiled. "You're the best. But Lee Chin Mei..."

"What about her?"

"She already knew our relationship."

"That's okay. She won't spill it to anyone?"

"How can you say that?" Tan Ja Nin asked.

"She almost knew every little secret that me, Yan Mor Tee, Tan Ji Nan and Lu Jiaosheng have before from eavesdropping to our conversation when we where in highschool whenever were together in our Villa and she never shared it to anyone else. She just keep it to herself." 

"I see" Tan Ja Nin heaved a sigh of relief. 

"Can you stay here for tonight?" Lee Jin Ho asked

"Okay! Since tomorrow is weekend and I don't have a workshop class!" 

"Great!" Lee Jin Ho said and he started to pull her and grabbed her chin.

"Can you stay here the whole weekend?" 

"My mom usually visits me on a weekend in my apartment." Tan Ja Nin said.

"Tell her that you'll be going out of town"

"Okay..." Tan Ja Nin said. She also wanted to spend more time with Lee Jin Ho. 

Lee Jin Ho lowered his lips and kissed her. 

"Hmmm you taste like shrimp..." Lee Jin Ho said in between breaks.

"But you like shrimp..."She snorted.

"If the taste will be coming from your mouth, yes of course, but it wasn't really my favorite." Lee Jin Ho honestly told her.

"But Lee Chin Mei..."

"Don't trust everything she said. She look so innocent but that girl is michievious!" Lee Jin Ho warned her.
