117 Live a Little
"Liling!!, what? it's boldly written on your face, how much you care! "
"I DON'T care, I... was just... thinking, will I serve both of them, I mean Liu Wei and his wife when he gets married."
Liling quickly thought up a random excuse and told her.
Xin Yong turned to look at her and remembered something, then quickly asked.
"That reminds me, how is he?, is he getting better?"
"You mean Liu Wei?, he woke up perfectly fine yesterday morning. I was greatly relieved because I practically embarrassed myself the previous night, it's not an experience I want to have again."
Liling concluded and peeked at her wristwatch to check the time. It wasn't yet very late, so she wasn't in a hurry yet. Xin Yong stared at her friend's face, Liling noticing her friend's gaze turned to look at her.
"What? why are you staring at me like that? "
She asked, frowning a little.
"Let's sit over there for a while, I need to talk to you."
Xin Yong dragged Liling to a small shade she had seen ahead. It had seats which were very comfortable when sat on.
When they had taken their seats, Xin Yong took Liling's hands in hers.
"Liling, you would be twenty one soon right? "
"Mmm"
"And you know I love you, right?"
"Yes, what? why are you sounding like that? "
Liling's chuckled softly, she hadn't even gotten a hint of what Xin Yong was driving at.
"Liling, please just listen to me this once, after now, you can shut me up whenever I bring up this topic okay? "
"Xin Yong..."
"Just this once, I promise never to talk about it again."
Liling narrowed her eyes at her friend but then nodded, signaling her to continue.
"Liling, does Liu Wei treat you differently from other workers in the house? "
She asked, as though investigating on a critical matter. 𝗳𝒓ee𝚠𝒆𝐛nov𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
"Yes, ... no.. in fact, I don't know."
"Okay, what I mean is, does he relate with other workers the way he relates with you?"
"No, haha, Liu Wei doesn't even look at others twice."
"Okay..."
Xin Yong nodded and then released Liling's hand.
"Does he find means to be close to you, or, does he send you errands that will keep you in his presence?"
"I don't know, almost all the errands I run keeps me in his presence."
"Okay, and he is alright now, no longer paralyzed right?"
"Mmm.."
"Liling, can't you see that Liu Wei likes you?"
"Xin Yong!, I just told you he has a fiancée!. and even if he likes me, it isn't important, because I don't like him."
Her throat felt bitter as those words escaped her lips, she didn't know why she was feeling as though she told a lie.
"Liling, are you going to die this lonely? "
Liling frowned and folded her arms.
"Who told you I'm lonely? "
" "
Liling was speechless. Now she thought about it, she had no other friends.
"Liling, I'm not saying you should take another woman's fiancé, I'm just saying you should live a little. You can't continue being this skeptical about everybody. Remember when you talked to me about Jin Yue, now look at us. Would we have gotten to this stage, if I hadn't given us a try?
Okay, even if it's not Liu Wei, com' on, there are other guys you can relate with here in the industry.
You are too concerned with yourself that you don't even notice when someone is trying to talk to you, you just brush them off. I see this all the time but I just decided not to bring it up, because I know that you may not be doing them intentionally.
I know you don't want to be like your parents, I'm really sorry to bring them up, but you should know that not everyone is like your father.
Please Liling, just think of the future. If you make it in the industry, which I'm sure you will, who are you going to share your joy with? "
"You.."
Liling replied jokingly and Xin Yong laughed.
"I'll be sharing my joy with Jin Yue, so go look for who you would share yours with."
They both burst out laughing, after sometime Xin Yong continued.
"Liling, I wish we'll have this type of girly talks, where we'll gossip our boyfriends, and not just me talking about Jin Yue. Mm? What do you say? "
"What do I say? "
Liling looked at her puzzled.
"Aren't you giving him a try? "
"Who?, Liu Wei?. Xin Yong!! He has a fiancée!!"
"They are not married yet?"
Liling's mouth fell open as she stared at her friend who was already laughing.
"You know what, I'm going home, I won't sit here and discuss how to snatch another woman's husband with you! "
With that, Liling stood up and made for the road, Xin Yong followed behind, still laughing.
