Part 34: The Truth
Wei Wei looks at him, unable to shift her gaze, and suddenly feels a bit of uneasiness.
She doesn’t like this at all. It’s as if he has become an object for fighting back and showing off; and also in a circumstance that he isn’t even aware of.
Er Xi observes her expression and says nervously, “Wei Wei, you’re not backing out last minute now, are you?!”
What do you mean backing out last minute? When did she ever say she wanted to fight?!
Wei Wei glares at her while feeling depressed inside. They’re supposed to be going out for dinner, but with this going on, a simple dinner gathering has become complicated.
Forget it. She’ll just pretend that those people are not there. They just happen to be eating at the same restaurant. With that in mind, Wei Wei reminds her roommates, “You guys better focus on eating and talk less.”
She realizes that that isn’t right since French cuisine is expensive, so she quickly adds, “Don’t eat too much either!”
Xiao Nai hears Wei Wei talking harshly just as he is walking back. Seeing her natural expression of ferociousness, it’s the first time that he experiences a kind of feeling of speechlessness.
Er Xi takes the opportunity to complain, “Senior Xiao, would you just look at your (family’s) Wei Wei?”
Her words are too pleasing to the ear, making Xiao Nai’s body and mind feel happy. He turns around to take a look at Er Xi, and officially remembers her. Agreeing with her words, he educates Wei Wei, “You shouldn’t treat our guests this way.”
Xiao Ling and the others chuckle.
Si Si also finds the nerve to say to Xiao Nai, “But Senior, now that Wei Wei has said this, we don’t even dare to order anymore.”
Xiao Nai smiles, “Don’t worry, my wallet is not yet in Wei Wei’s possession.”
Xiao Ling giggles, “We must take this chance to eat lots. If we wait any longer, Senior’s wallet will be in Wei Wei’s possession, and we won’t even get to eat preserved vegetables (inexpensive food) then!”
Wei Wei doesn’t interrupt them on their lively talk. She concentrates on looking at the person standing beside her.
His handsome and refined facial features carry a natural sense of arrogance and detachment. But it seems as if the distance between him and her roommates has disappeared. Wei Wei is not surprised one bit. This is how he is; with a little patience, he is always able to make others feel delighted.
Wei Wei didn’t notice it while they were in the car; he’s actually wearing a very formal white shirt, as if he has just come out from a business conference. It seems right. He asked them out for dinner right after arriving from his flight. He didn’t even have time to get changed.
For some reason, Wei Wei suddenly feels stuffed inside.
She doesn’t dare to guess what kind of feelings the Great Master had when driving everyone here, but he most likely thought that this was a normal dinner gathering. He definitely didn’t know that there was an ulterior motive.
The stuffiness is getting even worse.
They walk towards the restaurant as they speak, but Wei Wei stops her footsteps. Without much thought, she tugs on Xiao Nai’s sleeve.
“Don’t go in.”
Wei Wei feels relieved the moment she says it out loud. Like a swift breeze, all the troubling and depressing thoughts from the past few days and from seeing LoveChanel just now are gone.
That’s right. She just doesn’t want to go in. She doesn’t want to go have dinner for the sake of pride, or for the sake of provoking others. She just wants to have dinner peacefully with her friends and him, whom she hasn’t seen for a couple of days.
Er Xi, Xiao Ling, and Si Si look at each other and don’t say anything. Wei Wei lifts her head and looks at Xiao Nai, “Let’s go to another place. I don’t like it here.”
Xiao Nai’s eyes flash slightly.
After a while.
He nods, “Okay, I’ll drive the car over.”
“Mm.” Wei Wei feels kind of bad because the Great Master is so accommodating. She lowers her head, “Sorry for the trouble……”
“If you feel bad, come with me to get the car.”
Eh? Wei Wei raises her head in surprise, and catches a glimpse of mischievousness in his gaze.
>oooo_< It feels so unreal.
Furthermore, she has to go have dinner with his dorm mates……
And, he’s Xiao Nai……
The unreal feeling that is brought by the name has been shrouding her all this while.
“Hm?”
“It’s just that, it feels a bit unreal.”
Xiao Nai stops his footsteps and turns around to look at her.
Wei Wei also stops.
Wei Wei is then pulled into his embrace without any warning. The fresh scent of a man suddenly permeates all of her senses. His arms wrap around her making her unable to move. Her head is buried in his chest; she can’t see anything, but can hear him say into her ears:
“I didn’t want to do this so quickly,” he says with a cold and deep voice, sounding even more mesmerizing. He asks, “Does it feel real now?”
It seems like everything is silent, but it also seems like everything is in an uproar. At this moment, the time in the universe has stopped. In his embrace, Wei Wei can only hear his heart beating.
What is real, feels even more surreal, but what does it matter? Even if all of this is unreal, it is the most realistic kind of unreal.
