98 Love of my life

"Liling, what happened? You didn\'t come for the training class today." Xin Yong exclaimed over the phone. Her incessant calls had woken the sleeping Liling up.

"Mr Liu Wei said I should take a day off, any problem? Was my absence noticed?"

Liling asked half sleeping.

"No, actually it was a young man who trained us today, we were so happy that the witch didn\'t come. Even though he was not too easy going, he was way better than the witch."

Two of them laughed at her statement before Xin Yong continued.

"How is your hand?, hope it\'s getting better? "

"Yes, a little better, Liu Wei took me to the hospital yesterday, he said I was foolish for using ice on... "

"Liu Wei took you to the hospital?!, OMG, I told that he likes you, Liling!, that was so thoughtful and sweet of him.. "

"Xin Yong, can you be serious for once?. It\'s not everything that you call love okay, he was just doing what any other person would do in that circumstance, stop ranting rubbish. "

"Liling, how long are you going to be this way? If you don\'t let anyone in, how would you know if it is love or not?. Don\'t tell me you want to die an old maid? Just live a little okay?, can\'t you see your life is extremely boring, no one to ask you how you are?, surprise you with gifts, call you every day!.

Liling, even though you say you don\'t need it, we are all humans, we all need someone to care for us, once In a while, stop driving away people who care about you... "

"It\'s enough, I can see you are now head over heels for Jin Yue and it\'s now clouding your judgement, right?. Tell me, does he do all those?, call you every day, surprise you with gifts?.. "

They both burst out laughing as Liling mimicked her.

"Haha, Liling, Jin Yue had been the best thing that had happened to me. He\'s so sweet, adorable... cute, loving, he says he\'ll take me out for a picnic on Saturday, and he had been showering me with uncountable gifts, Liling, being in love is the best.. "

"Alright, it\'s enough, I\'m cutting this call, enjoy your picnic.. "

Xin Yong burst into laughter and Liling immediately cut the call. She shoved the phone under the bed and tightly shut her eyes as her brain replayed Xin Yong\'s words.

.....

"Sweet, how can you keep your hubby standing under the sun, why can\'t I come in?. Didn\'t you say your parents travelled for a holiday in America, don\'t tell me you are hiding someone else in there! "

Jin Yue said over the phone, his voice sounded as though he was sad. Xin Yong laughed and explained.

With that, she quickly cut the call. It was Saturday, Jin Yue had come to pick her up for the picnic and he had been standing outside her house for almost thirty minutes but she wasn\'t down yet.

After a few minutes later, he saw her coming out of the gates. She had a smile plastered on her face as against the sad frown on his. When she saw his frown, she couldn\'t help but laugh.

"Baby, don\'t be angry okay, I didn\'t know you would come this early so I had to go bath and freshen up. Are you angry? "

Xin Yong walked over to him and put her arms around his neck. Jin Yue still feigned annoyance, he didn\'t want to look at her.

"Honey.... "

Jin Yue froze as he heard her call him so lovingly. He nearly dropped his act, but he quickly increased his frown. Xin Yong smiled more and she tiptoed and kissed his cheeks whispering seductively.

"Love of my life.. "
