Liling froze, she wasn’t expecting the stranger to say anything. She just wanted to innocently wind up the car window. Now this stranger has started talking to her, what should she say!, she didn’t want to tell this random stranger her name. She just smiled and said an “mmm” as she made to wind up the glass again.
“Do you have any lollipop remaining? Could you give me some? ”
Liu Wei asked with all seriousness. He just felt that he needed to taste that lollipop and besides he already saw a few others scattered on her lap.
Liling furrowed her brows. How could someone be so shameless! Asking a total stranger for her candy, Liling liked candies, she wasn’t about to give it away just like that!.
She stared at the man in the car and cleared her throat.
“Sorry stranger, I don’t have any remaining ” She replied looking sorry, but she didn’t expect the man to persist.
“But I just saw a few others, don’t worry I’ll pay for it” Liu Wei made to take out money from his pocket.
Liling stopped him as she smiled.
“You don’t need to pay, stranger, I was taught to help people in need, I’ll give you one, since you need it that much”
She took one out and stretched her hand to the other side. Liu Wei moved nearer and took it from her hand.
“Thank you, but you’ve not told me your name, what’s your name?” Liu Wei asked as he tore off the wraps and put the lollipop in his mouth.
Liling smiled broadly and replied
“Dear stranger, my name is not important right now, I’ve given you the candy, so we don’t have anything to talk about, so I’ll be winding up the glass, enjoy your candy ” She made to wind up the glass again, when she suddenly frozen at Liu Wei’s reply.
“Mmm, you should smile often , you’re more stunning when you smile;” as though he didn’t say anything flirty, he continued with all seriousness “but I’ve told you my name so you should tell me yours, that is what is proper”
Liling was embarrassed, she had been complimented before, but for someone to say it and look so complacent about it, that was the first time. Her cheeks reddened to a degree as she glared at him.
She immediately started winding up the window to hide her reddened cheeks, but before she completely wound it up she said
“Liling”
She wasn’t loud but it was enough for Liu Wei took make out what she said.
“Liling, Liling, a beautiful name for a beautiful person ” He smiled as he looked at the taxi. He wondered where such beauty had come from.
Wang Feng had been speechless through the journey, he had never expected his boss to have this soft childish side. The worst blow was him talking to a girl so actively, he had never seen his boss talk to the opposite sex with so much heartiness. Even though he didn’t see the face of the girl, he knew what could move his boss wouldn’t be a piece of trash.
The traffic cleared almost at that minute and Liling’s taxi sped off, and Wang Feng drove immediately as well, Liu Wei watched the taxi until it disappeared before he came back from his thoughts.
“Next assignment, compile all the names of girls from twenty five below with the name Liling living in Beijing with their pictures and send it to my office first thing monday morning ”
‘Whaaaat, where do you want me to get this from? Do I look like God?’ Wang Feng complained birtterly in his heart, he couldn’t dare voice it out.
“Yes, Boss, first thing monday morning ” He wept bitterly in his heart.
Liu Wei continued licking the lollipop as though his life depended on it, he felt that it was way sweeter than any lollipop he had ever eaten.
