155 Staring at you...

The movie was especially for her. Liu Wei didn\'t like watching movies in the first place, he just wanted to take her out. So while the movie played, he concentrated on his phone, while pretending to be watching the movie with her.

Half way through the movie, Liling\'s drink got finished, he quickly unscrewed his, and handed it over to her. Liling\'s eyes glinted as she saw an untouched can of Coca-Cola in front of her, she turned and smiled at Liu Wei then immediately took it from him, blushing lightly.

Liu Wei was a bit thirsty earlier on, but that pure smile from her had quenched his thirst instantly. He immediately reached out and pushed back her bangs behind her ears, smiling happily.

Anytime he was with her, he felt so peaceful, she had gradually become his oxygen, his reason for living. He could not just imagine a life without her in it.

Liling who had been focused on the romantic movie playing out before her, suddenly felt that someone was looking at her, so she quickly turned to glance at her side with her big bright eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing? "

She asked giggling lightly. Liu Wei was resting his head on one hand, seriously watching her. Even when she blinked at him, he didn\'t take away his eyes, she she couldn\'t help but ask.

"Staring at you..."

Came the reply. Deep and husky. Liling\'s smile suddenly froze, her eyes locked into his and, in as much as she tried pulling away, she felt as though he was holding her gaze in his.

"Uh? "

She lightly asked, her cheeks a bit flushed.

"I said... I\'m staring at you... "

Liling who pretended not to have heard him the first time, couldn\'t deny hearing him this time, \'cause he was a quite a bit loud and clear. She forcefully gulped down a hard saliva and coughed lightly, pulling her eyes away from his.

"You\'re way more interesting than the movie, so I chose to watch you... "

Liling\'s face suddenly reddened like a tomato. She immediately looked away from him and concentrated on the movie, or that was what she told herself she was doing __concentrating, while her heart pumped incredibly faster than usual.

She thanked her stars that she had her bucket of popcorn and drink with her, else she would have fainted from embarrassment.

Before long, her thoughts drifted back to the movie, with eyes wide open and lips red from drinking.

A thought clicked in Liu Wei\'s mind and he immediately took out his phone and took many pictures of her. He smiled at his mischievousness as he swiped through the pictures. He suddenly paused at a particular one, in that one, she was smiling brightly, her eyes curved into crescent moons. She looked breathtaking and extremely beautiful in that particular picture.

Liu Wei felt satisfied as he looked at the new face of his phone. That was the best wallpaper he had ever used, and it was not leaving his phone screen unless he got a cuter picture of her which would replace it.

He was lost staring at the pictures, when suddenly he started hearing sniffing sounds by his side.

Liling was beet red and her eyes were pouring tears like a river. She was holding her mouth, suppressing the tears, but it seemed she couldn\'t suppress it anymore.

Liu Wei immediately looked at the screen, but only saw two old couple lying on the bed, sleeping, he couldn\'t figure out why she was crying.

Without thinking twice, he quickly took out a handkerchief and leaned over to wipe her face. The hall was quiet with a few sniffing sounds here and there, it seems the movie she had chosen was a heartbreaking one.

That was so sad...

Liu Wei held her closer and gently wiped away her tears. His actions made Liling more emotional and she couldn\'t help but cry out the more. Liu Wei who didn\'t know what to do, immediately stood up and helped her up, then led her out of the theatre.

Liling buried her head in his body, she was still sniffing but she tried to control herself.

When they reached the car, Liu Wei made Liling lean on the car as he hugged her tightly to himself, patting her back slowly. Liling was taken aback by his gestures, but after a while, she slowly lifted her small hands and hugged his waists tightly.

She buried herself into his arms, as she let herself calm down. Liu Wei remained like that, not saying a word, just patting her back lightly.

It was just a movie but she had gotten too emotional, and Liu Wei was still treating her so lovingly. She felt spoilt but didn\'t want to leave his arms. He smelt nice, and hugging his body felt so good.

She had not hugged him before, so she didn\'t know how it felt. At that moment she felt like just sleeping there in his arms.

They had stood for almost thirty minutes, before Liu Wei finally lifted up her head and held her cheeks tenderly in his hands.

"Are you okay? "

He asked softly. His eyes filled with pain. He didn\'t know much of movies so he didn\'t know that she had picked a very emotional movie, else he would not have let her watch it, and it was worse since it was her first day.

Liling nodded slowly, then lowered her eyelids. Liu Wei held her close and kissed her on the forehead.

"Can we go home now?"

He asked again, seeking her permission. Liling\'s heart fluttered by his unexpected kiss, but she quickly recovered and nodded lightly.

Liu Wei then led her to the passenger\'s seat and did her seatbelt. He then took his seat by the driver\'s side, started the ignition and drove off.

...

Wow, I really haven\'t seen this side of the young master, utterly different... " A man standing in the darkness spoke to his friend in an excited tone.

"Haha, wait until we hand over the pictures. This night was really fun, after all the wait! we finally got something tangible. We need to celebrate this over a cup or two, what do you think? "
