BLIND DATE [LISRENE]

I'll Pretend To Be Your Student

Lisa's heart was torn, but in the end she decided to stay with Irene on the bed.

Several times during the night, Irene had tried to gauge what the silent Lisa was thinking through her expressions however...

It was useless.

The night was quiet as the both of them laid on their respective corners of the bed.

"Do you want to talk?" Irene asked.

"Yes..." Lisa replied.

"Is this your first time you've fallen in love?"

"Umm..."

"Have you been with anyone else before?"

"No..." Lisa whispered.

Although, in her heart she already knew the answer, Irene bluntly asked, "Then... do you like me?"

Lisa, "...(◔_◔)..."

Irene felt exasperated, the person beside her had gone silent again.

"If you don't say anything I'm going to take that as a no... whaaaa, this young professor really is just playing with me..."

"I- I like you!" Lisa hurried before Irene could finish.

Tsk. Finally.

Irene adjusted into a more comfortable position, "How much do you like me? So much that you buy me a house the day after we met? Yet, yesterday when I was drunk, you actually tricked me into getting married? Aren't you afraid that I will sue you?"

Lisa, "...(◔_◔)..."

"Hah, never mind then..." Irene sighed, "You know, when I imagined getting married, I never thought that I would end up with a professor!" Irene remembered all her suffering back when she was in school, "So, when my mother set up that blind date I was actually quite reluctant."

Irene tried to imagine Lisa teaching, "I bet you're a harsh professor too, with that stern and serious expression you always wear, the students are probably all scared of you."

Lisa blinked, thinking about the classes crowded with the students, nodded and said, "emm... it's not that bad."

Irene felt some sympathy in her heart, tried to comfort her, "Don't worry about it, it's normal for students to dislike class. Class tends to be boring for them, plus it's better than being that popular professor who is constantly badgered by their crowds of students."

Lisa smiled to herself.

"So how much do you like me?" Irene suddenly switched back to the original topic.

Lisa, "...(◔_◔)..."

How come they went from discussing her class during one minute to this topic again in the next minute?

Irene buried her face into her pillow and laughed, "You're so reserved, no wonder you've been single for over 25 years!"

Lisa's ears turned red and tilted her head to look at Irene, then quickly looked away again, "I- I'm not single anymore."

Irene suddenly stopped laughing looked up and whispered seriously, "I like you..."

Lisa's heart began to beat uncontrollably and she clenched her hands into fist, her breathing slowed.

"... like your face! Hahahaha!" after saying that, Irene laughed until she ran out of breath.
