475 Love Like Business
The way her fingers poked his abdon muscle left him feeling weird. Ying, however, didn't realize. She was too engrossed in her 'research'. But this was his first ti having soone so eager to look around.
"What are you even doing?" he questioned her when she was done counting and even gave him a thumbs up in appreciation.
"I'm wondering how co you're hiding such a good body underneath this shirt? I could never tell you work out if I didn't touch it accidentally."
"I'm a celebrity. Keeping a good figure is one of the requirents."
"Oh, right. It's just for the good figure. What's the point of having muscles if you can't even fight?"
"And who said I can't fight?"
"Can you?" asked Ying curiously.
"As a matter of fact, I have a black belt in karate."
"Oh, really?" Ying didn't believe him even when he nodded she went on, "I don't buy it though."
"And how will you believe it?"
"If only you can win from ."
Before he could say anything, they both heard a voice, "Team leader..." Ying looked at the person standing behind him and smiled awkwardly. However, Gigi just extended her keys towards her, "You forgot your car keys inside." Ying instantly took back her keys and looked at her gratefully. Gigi looked at her and then at?Han Bohai before winking at Ying, "Enjoy your date."
"Date?" Ying was gaping at her back and called out, "I'm not on a date!" She pointed at Han Bohai saying, "He is not my date! No way!"
But Gigi had already rushed away and even if she heard, she wasn't gonna believe Ying's words. The scene she saw clearly said otherwise.
She squinted her eyes at Han Bohai who stepped away raising his hands in defense. "This is all your fault?"
"How? What did I do?"
"She misunderstood us and you're just standing there like a statue! What if this creates a scandal?"
"Are you worried about ?" his reply made her look at him dumbfounded. How exactly was his brain programd? Why would she be worried about him? She just t him! "Relax! I'm not scared of scandals. And having one with you might be like a dream coming true."
"I really think sothing is wrong with your brain," said Ying and shaking her head, walked away. But today sothing was definitely up with her luck because her shirt sohow got stuck in the door's handle and a 'Chrrrr' sound, the shirt got torn from the back. And this was ladies and gentlen the reason she hated these fashionable shirts with strange patterns made of strings that could get stuck anywhere.
Before she could think of anything, Han Bohai was already standing behind her. Now, her back was pressing against his chest as he held her shoulders and said, "Don't move."
"Shut up!" she replied.
"I'm just saying..."
"I said shut up!" Ying repeated herself and he decided to stay quiet. She closed her eyes to curse her luck. "I should have checked the calendar before stepping out of the house today."
"Just chillax!" he said.
"There is no such word as chillax!" she gritted out in exasperation.
"The point is, you need to take it positively."
Ying tilted her head slightly as she asked, "How so? How is this going in a positive direction?! I left my jacket in the car! How is it good?"
He pointed at himself, "I'm the positive part in all of this. Am I not here?" Saying that he took off his own jacket and even helped her in putting it on. Because of their body figure and because of the height, his jacket was very loose on her body. But as long as it was helpful, who was gonna complain?
"You're just trying to complint yourself, aren't you?" she asked after wearing the jacket and looking at him again.
"Maybe..."
"Why are you even helping ?"
"Urm..." he looked around trying to think of sothing to say. "If I said I'm just being a kind and compassionate stranger, you won't believe , right?" Ying nodded her head solemnly. "Okay. Then I'll go with... Since I helped you, now you owe a al."
Ying contemplated for a while before saying, "But why do I think you're just looking for an excuse to et again?"
He stepped closer to her and replied, "Because I am doing exactly that."
"Are you really flirting with right now?" On normal occasions, he would have gotten a black eye by now from her punch but Ying found him way too interesting. She didn't know much about celebrities but he definitely wasn't doing a good job of acting like one.
"I can't help it, you look like a thief who's stealing my heart."
Ying made a face before saying, "And you look like a drum because I wish to beat you."
"Hahaha..." He laughed out at her words and she also smiled.
"But on a serious note, we just t. If we don't consider our last eting, this is like the very first ti we are eting. You can't possibly fall for soone that easily."
"Haven't you heard that song?" he began. "Hey, I just t you and this is crazy. But here's my number, so call maybe..."
Ying slapped his arm making him step back. "I didn't even know there is such a song."
"Well, now you know. See? I'm not only resourceful, kind, or funny but also knowledgable."
"I feel like I'm sitting in business negotiation and you're telling your selling points."
He stared at her face with a smile, "Isn't love also like a business?"
"Huh?"
"There are pros and cons. There are profit and loss. We get sothing, we lose sothing. We give, we take. And most importantly, it only works if both parties are willing to invest an equal amount of ti, feelings, understanding, and trust."
Ying was at a loss for words now. There had never been a person around her who flirted in this way. Most importantly, he didn't even deny it. He was so eager to say that he was indeed trying to flirt with her? But why though? What was in her that caught his eye? That soon as well?
