"Ah, Hmm, that… let's go inside. It's not good to stand in shower for long because it will catch cold," Reel said and she forcefully took his hand away and she ran to the room. Of course the awkward air broke down.
Reo just smiled. His smile is something strange. Something like some feelings in that smile. Suddenly the smile went dim and thoughts came to his mind.
"How come she has it? The red stone!" Reo asked, standing there.
"Hey! Are you in love with my washroom? Could you come out now?" Reel asked.
"Yeah! Coming," Reo replied and he just came out while thinking.
Reel threw the towel to his face and said like a boss, "Wipe the water."
He smiled in an irritated manner. Of course that action of hers was irritating.
Reo wiped his head and face. Reel gave a t-shirt and pants to him and said to change his wet dress.
Reo took the t- shirt and looked at it. It was an extra size one. He made an action like is it really for me?
"You don't want it. Oh! It's extra size, it's Li Chang's. What about mine? Let me check," Reel said as she was about to check her cupboard.
"No need!" He said and he took off his shirt. His hot body made a cold wind that touched Reel's face. Reel looked at him and she stared at his eight pack.
"Whoa!" Reel said in mind.
"Reel! What are you doing? Don't look at him. Keep remembering yourself who you are. He is a stranger. Don't stare at strangers. You are just nice with him because he saved you, nothing else. Don't star Reel," Reel's inner mind again talked with her.
"Satisfied staring? If yes can you get out," Reo asked.
"NO… I mean Ahh… Hmm…," Reel became embarrassed and she ran outside.
He smiled looking at the awkward Reel and the door quickly closed.
"Wait a minute! Who is he? How dare he tell me to get out of my room? It's my room… Hmm!" Reel said standing behind the door.
"If you want you can come and see me changing," Reo said louder.
"What! Pervert!" She said and she showed her middle finger while walking down.
Reel got Li Chang's message, "Is everything okay?"
"Stupid Li Chang, you have nerve to ask me that after aborning me?" Reel replied.
Li Chang called her. She cut the phone. Li Chang called again.
Reel picked up and asked in anger, "What man?"
"Don't get mad, Reel baby. You know I can't deny Zhen Mei. You clearly know her attitude," Li Chang said.
"Hmm!" Reel just made a sound.
"This time we really have a problem. Zhen Mei is stubborn about book signing events. Don't know why she is so stubborn to meet you. I don't know what makes her meet you so bad? It's really hard to handle her." Li Chang said.
Reel silent for a second.
"Reel! Reel you are hearing?" Li Chang asked.
"Hmm! Let me think of a way. First, I need to handle the current problem. Reo!" Reel said.
"Haa! Handle it quickly. I can't go there anymore. Zhen Mei is watching me. I will try to coax Zhen Mei," Li Chang said and he cut the phone.
Reel put down the phone on the table while making a deep sign and said, "Zhen Mei Jiejie, you haven't given up yet. No! I can't let her find me. I need to do something to stop her."
[Jiejie is a Chinese word to represent an older sister.]
Suddenly Reel got frozen after seeing Reo. Reo is looking so dazzling in his white shirt and black pants. His down hair gives him a cute puppy look. The perfect height of him is more like an idol. The charming look of him can make a girl's heart flutter so fast.
Reo smiled looking at Reel. That smile brought Reel to the world of flowers. She was immersed by his handsomeness.
"Whoa so handsome," Reel said in her mind.
"Reel! Reel, what you are doing. You went crazy. Come to your senses," The inner mind of her trying to bring her back to normal.
Suddenly Reo tapped on her forehead and said, "Are you done looking? Then Move your hand."
"Hand?" Reel asked with confusion and realized her hand was on his chest. She suddenly tried to act cool and said, "it was a mosquito."
"Oh! It was a mosquito. I see! I thought you put your hand on purpose," Reo said, teasing.
"No way why would I," Reel said with an awkward tone and she took the glass and drank the water quickly.
Reo smiled and sat on the sofa staring at Reel.
Reel felt uncomfortable, "Why is he staring at me? Is anything wrong with me?"
"Where did you get that red stone?" Reo suddenly asked, changing his expression to a serious one.
Reel spit out the water in surprise, "What!"
Reo stood up and walked towards her and stood in front of her. Reel took a step back. He stepped in.
"What are you doing?" Reel asked.
"Answer me, Where did you get that?" Reo asked again.
Reel pushed him and said, "Why should I answer your questions? You should answer my questions first. Did you forget where you are standing? You haven't answered us why you came here and who you are?"
"I already answered it," Reo said.
"When will you answer? When? Oh! Yeah, you answered: I don't know! Does that count as an answer?" Reel got mad.
"I have told you if I know I don't need you," Reo said.
"Wait a minute! What do you mean? Hey, come on! I'm not your door to origin." Reel said.
"You don't have the right to decide it. I said you are my door to origin then it is," Reo said.
"Hey, who gives you the right to decide? Yeah, I remember you saved my life that night. I appreciate it. So what? I saved your life recently so we are even now," Reel said.
Reo started to laugh and asked, "You really have a bad memory. Did you forget anything else? Or you are acting like you forgot everything?"
"What do you mean?" Reel asked what was going on.
Stay tuned…
