"Sit," he tells him. "What got you in such a daze Junior Lik?"
Hui Lik falls down weakly on his seat taking a deep sigh, as he looks to the distance where Miss Hong is with a group of children teaching them with a blackboard.
Miss Wong who was originally teaching the children pointing to a set of numbers on the blackboard felt like a pair of eyes were watching her.
She looks to see Hui Lik sitting on a table afar looking at her, their eyes met for a second and she quickly turns her head away as she feels her burning cheeks blushing with shyness.
Miss Wong was clutching the book to her chest even tighter as she could feel her heart thumping in her chest.
Regaining her composure from her lost focus she gets back to teaching the children the things on the board.
Breathing a sigh as he looks to the ground Hui Lik tells Tony, "I don't think Miss Hong is interested in me Senior Liang…"
Tony knits his eyebrows with a faint smile asking, "Why do you say that Junior Lik?"
Still with longing sadness in his eyes Hui Lik answers, "Everytime I talk to her she hides her face and flees away quickly."
Hui Lik mentions in reminiscent of the strange way Miss Wong acted when he greeted her in the morning.
"Oh really," Tony says looking at the happy face of Miss Wong teaching the students, "I don't think so."
"Huh!?" hearing his senior's answer Hui Lik suddenly looked up at Tony expectedly.
"Miss Wong definitely likes you," Tony tells him looking afar.
Lowering his head Tony begins to whisper something quietly into Hui Lik's ear.
At first Hui Lik still had a downcasted face, but as he slowly hears what Tony's whispering to him his face grows more and more excited.
When Tony finishes Hui Lik looks to him expectantly, "Will this really work Senior Liang!?"
With a playful smile Tony says to him, "Opportunity comes when you least expect it, Junior Lik."
While these days Ip Man is busy away from home teaching martial arts and guarding the school, he has grown more distant from his family.
Mrs. Wing Sing who just came out of the kitchen carrying a metal washing bowl suddenly felt a gaping pain in her abdomen.
Putting down the bowl on a small wooden chair she sits down to rest from the agony.
Her breathing was hard as she took in fresh air, putting her hand to her forehead trying to stop the tormenting anguish.
Soon in the afternoon Mrs. Wing Sing gets dressed and goes to a chinese pharmacy store.
The pharmacist asks her, "How can I help you?"
Her voice was very weak as she touched her abdomen, "I often have pain in my abdomen. Do you have anything for it?"
The pharmacist hands her a box of chinese medicine, "These pills will help circulate."
"Okay, I'll have a packet," she says.
She feels her body lost of energy these days from the frequent anguish that disturbs her daily activity
At night Miss Wong was walking down the narrow hallways of the school to return home.
As she walked closer to the door towards the silent night outside she saw below the electric lighting a tall figure.
Her steps were slowly sounding in the quiet hallway as she moved closer to observe the figure of the man.
At the entrance she calls out in surprise, "Mr. Lik!"
"Miss Wong!" Hui Lik calls out in happiness lifting his head up with a smile to see the beautiful woman standing in front of him.
He observes she has an astonished expression as she watches him from the doorway.
Today Hui Lik was wearing a grey slim fit casual men suit that Tony had someone custom made for him.
He was hiding his hands behind his back, while the clothing brought a cool aura to his presentation in addition to outlining his fit physique.
During this time period it is still rare to see men wearing such a business suit.
Additionally, such custom designed western clothing is more reserved for the wealthy, and would at the least take a regular Hong Kong family a year's salary to purchase.
Miss Wong who was holding a school book close to her chest asked in a polite manner, "Mr. Lik, how come you're here?"
She tries to hide away her bashfulness in this moment by tilting her head down as she looks at Hui Lik's attractive figure
"Just call me Lik is okay," he tells her with a smile. "Here." He hands her a bouquet of roses.
She didn't expect him to give such a beautiful gift on their second meeting, as he extended the bouquet of wrapped roses she could smell the pleasing fragrance.
Smiling she slowly extends her hand to take hold of the extended bouquet, "Thank you..Lik."
She was still not used to calling Hui Lik by such a familiar nickname, but he felt her voice was really sweet when she called his name.
Hui Lik was throwing congratulating fist pumps into the air secretly inside, 'Senior Liang's strategy worked!'
"I was afraid that the gangster would cause trouble again," Hui Lik said to her, "So...can I walk you home tonight?"
His eyes looked to her in anticipation, with throbbing rhythms in his pulse as he waited for her answer.
At this moment Hui Lik couldn't take his eyes off her, for him this moment seemed to slow down just for him.
Her eyes were charming with her face tilted downwards as she looked at him. Wearing a yellow soft sweater while holding her school book.
"Okay, thank you..Lik," Miss Wong paused in thought and then bowed to Hui Lik.
Hui Lik was so excited to hear that she agreed and had on a gloating smile.
When you're by the side of the one you dearly love, time seems to accelerate faster than one's grasp.
But to where happy times have gone past, it leaves behind unforgettable memories that last forever in our hearts.
