With the conversation in full swing, I think I have already erased the impression A'liu had tried so hard to do.
A'liu is straightforward, you can easily deduce by her actions and emotions if she likes you or not. She's very simple, she gets easily swayed by her love ones and she protects the people she care for.
That's why she and her family got implicated with me and that is something I'm trying to correct.
I glanced at An Yi Wei and saw his face beginning to darken every time he was splashed with dirty water indirectly by A'liu. To be honest, I wanted to laugh so badly seeing his sour expression but I held it in.
I can only feel distressed towards him and hide my true emotion to the back of my mind.
He seems to notice my gaze and met my eyes before turning his head away from me. I could feel the bad mood coming out of him and interrupt the conversation less it'll get worse.
"A'liu... I think we should visit the cinema, wouldn't you agree?" I touched A'liu's arm and smiled at her.
"That's a great idea! I love horror movies so I hope you're not a wimpy scared kid, you're not aren't you?" It seems like A'liu finally retained her childishness and vitality.
"I'll go along with what Ms. Ru wants" his eyes crinkled in laughter but I could sense the curiosity deepening in his eyes.
I'm not sure whether his curiosity would bring good to A'liu but for now, the present matters.
I heard a cough beside me and see the burning annoyance in An Yi Wei's eyes. It seems like his patience has gone thin, I must calm him down else he'll ruin my efforts.
So I took my phone and pretended to look at it and stood up.
"I'm sorry, my mother in law is calling for us"
"Oh, it's okay, we'll wait for you two" A'liu said before giving a glare at An Yi Wei and continued to talk to Zhu Rong Heng.
An Yi Wei's eyes burn in the back of my head as I took his hand and left the cafe.
...
"So you have a fashion business in this city Ms. Ru? Impressive"
He was shocked when she slapped the table and fired out her words.
"Eh! You should call me Liu Ye since we've chatted and all. Honestly, I really don't like you since I hate blind date, but hey, maybe you could be on my plan!"
Zhu Rong Heng's eyes were filled with intrigue, as if he was a little boy who finally found an interesting you to play with. He's not a person that is easily swayed by something but when he did got stuck onto one, he'll never let go of it.
He knew that this woman in front of him was acting but that was a few minutes ago, not anymore. So he leans in and waited for her to talk about her plan.
"So I'm going to just date you!" He was a bit dumbfounded at the woman's quick change of mood but showed a confused expression.
"I'm sorry, I don't... I can't follow"
"I'll date you! Of course it's only fake, I don't want to be matched with another guy so I'm just going to fake date you! You don't mind right? It looks like you don't want to do this (blind date) too right?" Her eyes were dazzling, it's as if the sun was illuminating her irises.
"Yeah.." he trailed off, he was a bit enamored at her animated expressions that he didn't know what he said.
"You agree! You can't take it back!" She pointed at him while he just smiled at her helplessly.
Fine, he'll compromise today, after all he found a really interesting toy.
