Chapter 18.4 (1/2)

Caught in my Own Trap (作茧自缚) : Chapter 18.4

Happy Labour Day everyone! We have now moved into the 5th month of the year. How time flies…….. Hope that April had been a great month for everyone. My 6 months of career break is finally over and it is time to get back to the reality. So I am officially starting my new contract work this month. As much as I could, I would try to continue with the daily post. However, please bear with me should there are any delay. The new project that I took up would be taking up pretty much of my days as I do have a time frame to complete it. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the read for today……

This is an exciting chapter for me… s.h.i.+ Lin finally confessed to He He. So what happen next? Did He He accepted him and start dating him? Read on and find out……

Chapter 18.4: What a mess….

He He and s.h.i.+ Lin finished their dinner and s.h.i.+ Lin sent her home.

It was a pleasant dinner. s.h.i.+ Lin has always treated her well, just like a big brother. He He only need to casually said something and he will take it seriously. For professional terminology that He He could not understand, he will use the most simple lay-man terms to explain the anthropomorphic to her. He has always been like that.

On the way home, they drove past a newly opened ice-shaving store. On the display in front of the door, there is a bunch of three-dimensional fruit, very bright and lovely. He He could not help but give it a few more glance.

s.h.i.+ Lin parked the car a few meters away, turned around and asked He He: “Do you want to eat that?”

He He originally did not want to eat but seeing that he had stopped the car, nodded and said: “This time let me treat you instead.”

There is a small park at the end of the road. They parked the car there and walked over to the shop to have their ice.

He He dug in and ate with her small mouth. s.h.i.+ Lin just looked at her. And when she quickly finished her portion, he pushes the other portion to her and said: “In fact, eating too much of these are not good for the stomach. You should also eat less.”

He He shyly said: “Oh. I forgot that you do not eat cold stuff.” She vaguely remembered s.h.i.+ Lin said before that he does not eat ice-cream.

s.h.i.+ Lin said: “I see that you are particularly happy when eating these. Turning anyone looking at you mood to a happier mood as well. So I kept this for you, so that I could see you for a while more.”

He He is a little embarra.s.sed, and bowed her head to concentrate on eating the second portion quietly.

s.h.i.+ Lin smilingly said: “I should not have said that to you. As a result, you now are alert. Your expression is different now from the earlier expression.”

He He smiled and change the subject: “This time after returning to the United States, when is the next time you would be coming back?”

s.h.i.+ Lin asked earnestly this time: “Do you wish for me to come back?”

“I certainly hope that elite compatriots overseas will come back to the motherland.” He He tried to muddled through.

“This is a good reason.” s.h.i.+ Lin stopped and then hesitantly said: “He He, there is some words that I know are presumptuous, but if I do not say it now, I am afraid that I will lose the courage in the future or lose the opportunity.”

He He bow her head in silence.

s.h.i.+ Lin thought for a moment and continued: “He He, despite my age, I have never been in love. But I feel comfortable with you. You have made me want to have the idea of settling down.”

He He continued to keep her silence.

“I do not want you to make the decision now. I just want you to know. If you…. If you still have not been able to meet anyone that have moved your heart, or you do not particularly feel bored with me, especially bored, so….. I hope you could consider me…….”

He He suddenly looked up and turned to look at him. Although it is nighttime, the small park lighting is sufficient for s.h.i.+ Lin to see the clear faze undetected. Hence, he could not finished what he intended to say.
