”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.
”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?”
