Chapter 180: Date (2/2)
I walked out of the hotel and saw Wang Shu standing at a distance, leaning on a Toyota. A beige short-sleeved T-shirt, white shorts, and her hair naturally scattered over her shoulders. As the breeze blew, her hair also swayed gently, brushing past her cheeks. Watching the scene and her light movements, I felt a little intoxicated.
As soon as Wang Shu saw me come out of the hotel, she smiled towards me, “You came down so quickly. I had thought it would take some time!”
“Oh, I had already dressed up, waiting for your call. You think I am like you girls, wasting half a day before I dress to go out?” I laughed and said to her.
“Humph, bad bully! Who did you say takes half a day to be ready!” Wang Shu’s little face turned red, with an expression of a spoiled child deprived of candy.
A girl who talks to a guy with such an expression proves that they are already familiar, at least they aren’t in a conflict. I could naturally understand that Wang Shu had some interest in me, but I couldn’t say anything regarding it. Zhao YanYan just made a fuss about Sherley. It was better if I don’t hit on another girl. What’s more, there weren’t any special feelings between me and Wang Shu. We were just friends who met on a plane.
Sitting in the car produced by a Japanese vehicle company, I didn’t feel anything was improper. Though the contours, design, and aesthetics were important in a car, the most important part was still the engine. All the vehicle companies in the world used East Asian Motion “Chinese Series Engines,” making it have no difference no matter what company the car belonged to.
“You told me to come out, don’t tell me it was to take a ride around the streets?” I asked strangely. Wang Shu had already driven a few laps around the same places. Even if the East Asian Motion Engines don’t need to be refueled, one can’t just play around with it like this?
“Ah!” Wang Shu was startled. She had just been reflecting and thinking about a few matters and didn’t know she had been driving in circles all this time. My words woke her up, making her embarrassed as she stopped the car before a beach and said to me, “I am sorry, I had been lost thinking about some matters.”
“Don’t worry, it isn’t an issue. Hehe, if you have any difficulty, why not speak it. I will listen to you and see if I can help you somehow!” As soon as I said those words, I regretted my action. Wasn’t I just asking for trouble with those words? But looking towards Wang Shu’s worried expression, the words had flowed from my mouth automatically.
“Really?” After Wang Shu heard my words, her eyes brightened with joy but then they dimmed again, as she said, “It’s okay. There’s no use even if I told you. It’s a matter of my family, speaking about it will just add to the troubles!”
The more Wang Shu appeared like this, the more doubts I had. Therefore I said to her, “Actually, many times when a problem looks impossible to solve, it might be easily solvable if you share it with others. It is what you call ‘The closer you are the harder it is to see.’ It is better to say your worries, rather than bury them. Who knows, we might find a solution?”
Wang Shu listened to me, hesitated a bit, and then said, “Then I will trouble you. Originally, I only wanted someone to accompany me to casually walk around, not thinking I will actually turn to you for help. However, having two people work on a problem is still better than having one person!”
“Yeah, this humble one will be happy to give you advice!” I said with a nod. It seems that my immunity to beauty was still very low. Originally, I didn’t want to get tangled in these matters, but now, looking at Wang Shu’s face covered in sadness, I couldn’t help but want to do something for her.
“Alright then,” Wang Shu nodded and said, “Let’s go to the seashore and sit down and talk!”
I and Wang Shu left the car, walking over the beach. At this time, it was near dusk and the sun was almost setting, reflecting it’s rays on the sea, making a beautiful scene. Just like a painting.
I and Wang Shu wandered next to the seashore. At that time, I couldn’t help but think of couples I saw before. Wang Shu probably thought of the same thing. Lowering her head, she started to walk a bit faster. Her cute little face appeared bright red, not only because of shyness but also due to the setting sun…
