Chapter 380 - Different blend of perfume. (1/2)
”Okay! Fine! I won't tease you anymore, just tell me what's been wrong. I clearly heard your stressed blabbering just now. What's wrong?” Guang asked, getting a little serious.
”Ummm there is a problem but it is not so serious. I think I am just overthinking the things”, Lifen paused for a moment to decide whether she should share her immature thoughts with her friend or not then deciding it for the decision, she continued.
”It's just that I have become immaturely insecure over little things. It should be like that I know but I can't help but get a feeling of insecurity in my relationship with Deming”
Her friend gave some thoughts to her words and then asked, ”Lifen, I don't there is something for you to worry about in your relationship. We all have witnessed how serious Deming is regarding you. There is no way …”
”I know … I know there is nothing to worry. And it's not like I doubt his feelings for me. No I can never. But somehow today I can't help but get a little immature with my senses”, Lifen defended herself, interjecting her words in the middle of Guang's words.
”Why? Did something happen today?” she asked again.
Lifen pursed her lips and then meekly nodded as if her friend could see her small gesture of acceptance. ”Few weeks ago, I met with an accident” She stooped in her words only to add a quick detail to the scene before Guang erupted on the other side of the line. ”I met with an accident, but nothing serious happened. Instead I got my legs back. So please don't worry about it”
”Dear, are you for real? Please go and change your name from Li Lifen to Li Shìgù”, Guang said sarcastically making Lifen all confused. ( Shìgù = accident)
”Umm … what do you mean?”
”Please don't pretend to be so innocent. Your name 'Lifen' means fragrance. Though it compliments you but more than that now you have become a bundle of accidents. Every alternate day you get involved with some accidents or mishaps. So won't it be better if we start you 'Shìgù'?” Her words held a concern but it was very perfectly hidden behind the curtains of sarcasm.
”You … Do you want to hear the story or not? If not then tell me I won't bring it up to you”, Lifen warned, understanding that if she does not divert the mind of her friend from the issue then she will be hearing a good amount of scolding for sure.
”Fine, continue with your story. But let me remind you. This topic is not yet over. First of all, you didn't call us and already got married to a man. And that was not enough to end, but you also got involved in another accident. It's good that only I am hearing this. Just guess what would have happened if Daiyu was here?”
”That's enough, don't blame me. It's not that I got myself involved in an accident intentionally. It just happened and at that time I was with a driver. Now listen to the rest of the story. Don't distract me or I would forget to mention the good and essential parts” Lifen added.
”Carry on! I am listening”, Guang said and then quietened down as a good listener.
Soon Lifen completed the whole story from the day of the accident to the present. She told her all about Rebecca and also the past experience she has shared with her. Though she has not been very elaborate about the things that have happened between her and Deming, she has almost given a gist of the reasons that she pulled herself a little away from the romantic touches of the man.
”Okay! So the problem arose after your savior has shared her past experience with you?” Guang asked as she kept on pondering over something the amidst her words. Like she was speculating something.
”Hmm … you can say it like that”, Lifen accepted without any hesitation. It was true that her mind was having these suspicions after she heard those things from Bebecca.
