154 You want to trek?
Liling stood in front of the mirror checking herself out. Kim had done her makeup, and although she had said she looked beautiful over a hundred times, she still felt self conscious.
"Don't you think I should change this dress, it seems too tight and quite short..."
"Liling!, what's wrong with you?, I've told you that this dress looks perfect on you, come on, Liu Wei had been waiting downstairs for a while now"
Kim said, pulling her out impatiently.
"When you get back, you give me a full gist!, and don't try to hide anything, I'm watching you!"
Kim demonstrated by pointing her two fingers at herself then to Liling. Liling burst out laughing.
"Stop talking nonsense!..."
Liling wore a pair of flat sandals, her dress was just normal. She didn't look extravagant nor too shabby, besides they were just going to watch a movie, she didn't want anything making her uncomfortable.
Liu Wei was staring outside the windows when he heard some footsteps approaching. He instinctively turned to the direction of the sound.
"Sorry, I wasted so much time, I..."
Liling immediately apologized, she was feeling a bit awkward, having him wait for her.
"You... look beautiful..."
" "
Liu Wei's voice came out a little bit deep with a trace of longing in them. Liling who was still apologizing, was rendered speechless.
Her eyes locked in his deep blue ones as he stared at her unwaveringly. She couldn't tell what was going on in his mind, but she was sure he was suppressing an emotion, or rather that was what she felt.
"uh_huh... thank you..."
She cleared her throat and replied after a few seconds, with a little smile on her lips. She could feel her cheeks flush red. Liu Wei blinked severally, then looked away from her. f𝔯𝑒e𝓌ℯ𝐛𝑛oѵel - 🅽🅽novel
"Can we go now? "
Putting his hands into his trouser pockets, he asked, with a tender smile on his lips. Liling nodded severally, and they both walked out of the house to the garage.
Liling awed by the sight in front of her. She didn't go to garage much, just twice in the past, and it appeared new, like an estate of cars.
Liu Wei really had a collection of expensive cars, but he only rode one to the company. She wondered why he now bought all those if he wouldn't ride any.
"Pick one..."
Liu Wei suddenly said, as they walked into the garage. Liling immediately turned to look at him, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Me? I should pick one?, uh?... there is no need, we'll just go in anyone you choose!"
She scratched her hair lightly as she looked away from the mesmerizing eyes by her side.
"You want to trek? "
Liu Wei asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"No!..."
"Then pick one, else we'll have to go to the movies on foot! "
She walked around for a whole five minutes, confused, she didn't even know the one to choose!, she didn't want to pick an expensive car but yet, they all looked expensive!. Finally, she settled for a matte colored?Maserati Quattroporte. She didn't know the name actually, but that was the cheapest looking car in the garage.
Liu Wei smiled at her choice and walked over to the passenger's side, then opened the door for her to get in, after which he got into the driver's side and sat down.
He turned to put her seatbelt on, as he leaned over, Liling shrunk into the seat and closed her eyes, awkwardly.
He stared at her for a while then chuckled, he put her seatbelt on and adjusted back on his seat.
After staying like that for a while, Liling gradually opened her eyes and breathed out lightly.
'So it was her seatbelt he leaned over to help her with, and she had thought that... '
She quickly dismissed the perverted thoughts in her mind as Liu Wei started the engine and drove away.
"So which movie do you want to see?"
Liu Wei asked as they hit the road. He took out his phone from his pockets and tapped on it before he passed it to her.
Liling took the phone from him and stared at it for a while. She was a bit confused. The time was just a few minutes past six, so she chose a movie which would show at 7pm. It was titled 'The Notebook ' and was going to play for 123 mins.
When they arrived at the theatre, Liu Wei led Liling to the teller and they bought the tickets after which they both walked over to a popcorn vendor to get a bucket of popcorn. The crowd there was quite much and soon, he couldn't see Liling anymore, since he wasn't holding her.
He immediately got tensed up, she didn't know the place quite well and there were a lot of people present, she could get lost.
He quickly scanned the environment and before long his eyes landed on her. She was standing by a side making way for people to pass by. She was petite, so she let the people pass one after the other, so they wouldn't push her down.
Liu Wei shook his head before he walked up-to her, then took her hand in his and walked back to the popcorn vendor.
"Do you want to get lost? don't leave my side again..."
Liling smiled as she watched his back,
'how was she going to leave his side, with him holding her this way?'
Liu Wei bought the popcorn and Coca Cola soft drinks before they walked into the theatre. They made their way to the back seats, Liu Wei didn't let go of Liling's hands until they had sat down.
It was just a few more minutes before the movie would start proper. Liu Wei handed over a can of Coca-Cola to her and kept the bucket of popcorn in the middle.
People were still trooping in, so the place was a bit rowdy. Liling looked around the whole place for a while, then turned to look at Liu Wei.
"Do you know? this is my first time being to a theatre, I was thinking I would never get to come here... thank you."
Liling said a bit coarsely. Her voice sounded painful but she smiled widely to hide all of her emotions.
Liu Wei felt deeply hurt. He just wished he could take her to all the places she had never gone to, anywhere she wanted to go to, whatever she wanted... just name it...
He sighed then leaned over and stroked her cheeks tenderly.
"We can come anytime you want, okay? "
Liu Wei sounded so caring and Liling couldn't help but chuckle lightly. She blushed and immediately looked away.
Her thoughts drifted over to her dear father...
If only he cared half as much as this, her life would have been so perfect!
