Chapter 501 - Sounds Familiar (2/2)

”Wait… Aren't you going to eat more?” Rui asked. Instead of answering, Cali just grabbed one more sandwich before rushing back to her room to get ready.

Rui grinned and watched her going back into the house lovingly. He would make sure that every passing day with his wife was well spent. He found all her tantrums cute and adorable.

Rui stood up and collected the breakfast tray from the table. He didn't mind serving his wife forever if it meant that she would never leave his side. He could tell that Cali was intentionally acting lazy to bully and annoy him but these tantrums only made him adore her even more. He chuckled and walked back inside the house to get ready as well.

”Remember… You are not allowed to go on extreme rides. I will only let you ride on the lighter ones, something like the Ferris wheel.” Rui reminded, and Cali involuntarily nodded.

Strolling around the park would be good enough for her. She only cared about the booth games that would let her win prizes. Rui stood and watched as she started playing various games in each booth.

”Shocks, it's so hard! I wanted that bear!” Cali complained as she missed another target with an arrow. Well, she could buy bears like those, but it was a different feeling of content and satisfaction if you won it by playing fun games like these.

”Let me help you. I'll make sure you get that bear.” she heard Rui whisper from behind her. She flinched on feeling his warm breath on her ear.

He was too close to her now, hugging her as he held both her hands.

”Hold the bow like this…” she heard him whisper.

Cali could feel his breath. He was too close and one wrong move would result in his lips touching her cheek.

Her face reddened. She was blushing very hard, and suddenly felt very hot.

”Concentrate on the game and relax your body…” he said.

'How could she when he was this close to her? She could feel butterflies fluttering in her stomach.'

”Stretch the string a little more… There… Make sure you are aiming for the center.”

Cali bit her lower lip as an unknown electricity travelled down her nerves…

”There… Now let it go..”

Cali did as he instructed her to and her eyes widened with glee, seeing that she hit the right spot. They did that three consecutive times in a row.

”Oh, we did it!” she exclaimed, turning hastily to Rui, causing friction of his lips on her cheek.

”Sorry…” she heard Rui apologize, and could only nod bashfully. Then she quickly turned to the in-charge of the booth to distract herself.

”My prize?” she mumbled with a grin and the man at post handed her the huge teddy bear that was almost as big as herself.

Rui grabbed it from her and said, ”Let me carry it for you, sweetheart.”

Cali froze at that spot because she heard the same voice and word in her head.

”Are you alright?” Rui asked, concerned at Cali's suddenly distorted expression.

”Nothing, it's just that you calling me sweetheart sounds familiar…”

Rui's heart suddenly skipped a beat… It was the second time he had called her by that name… The first time, Cali seemed to be unaffected but today… she could sense the familiarity...
