494 A Fire (1/2)
”You lost!”
Ying's hand clenched tight as she looked at the score on the screen above. She could only stare at the way she lost. How did it happen? He was really having the time of his life when he played. Why was he a pro at bowling? And why did she pick it of all things?!
Han Bohai could see her unwillingness to accept the defeat but he couldn't do anything about it. He had only two choices, either win and have that dinner with her or lose and never see her again. He knew his priorities well. Although seeing her victory smile was also on his list of priorities, at the moment he just wanted to stay beside her!
After all, to see her smile he first needed to be beside her!
But seeing how stiff her body had been, he went up and placed his hand on her shoulder, ”You okay?” She didn't respond at all. ”Don't tell me this is your first time losing?” He laughed it off but seeing her death glare he was shocked. ”It was really your first time losing? Wow!”
He could only be surprised at it. But when it came to Ying, it was her first time losing in anything from her peer or someone younger than her. Losing from her seniors didn't count. She never competed with her seniors due to her respectful manners but this was shameful. He was younger than her and he won!
In despair, she fell on her knees and mumbled, ”How can I lose? Such a disappointment I am!”
Han Bohai crouched down beside her and patted her back consoling her, ”You know, this victory can be yours.”
She squinted her eyes at him, ”How?”
He grinned widely, ”Be my girlfriend, and then whatever is mine is yours. Even my victory is yours.” If Xiu or Darren had been around, his words would have definitely reminded them of someone. But it was Ying and she wasn't a very romantic person.
”Do you have a death wish? How can you so brazenly ask someone to be your girlfriend? We just met!”
”Will you stop saying that we just met? I get it already. You had been repeating it since yesterday!” He was really upset when she brought it up again. ”And why are you refusing to even give me a chance? Let's clear up everything... Are you taken?”
Ying nodded her head and his heart fell but when she spoke, ”Taken for granted for sure.”
He facepalmed himself as he spoke in a reprimanding tone, ”Don't scare me like that! I almost got a heart attack.”
”Do all actors love to exaggerate everything like you?” she questioned curiously as she got up from the floor and sat down at the couch.
”When did I exaggerate anything?” he wondered out.
”You can't get a heart attack so easily,” she replied.
Ying placed her hands on his chest asking, ”Wha- What are you trying to do? I'm telling you don't try anything funny.”
The back of his index finger slid down the bridge of her nose as if caressing it as he said, ”Has anyone ever told you?”
”What?”
”You have the most gorgeous eyes.”
”Huh?” She took one hand off of his chest and touched her eyes as she mumbled, ”Nothings special. I don't even know what you're talking about.”
He tapped her nose and she had to swat his hand away but he still said, ”There is a fire in your eyes. It feels like if I tried getting close, you'll burn me.”
