Throughout the concert he feels like he is in a daze. He cannot stop looking at Li Tong who seems to glow in his eyes. While she is play consciously that he is siting in the audience watching her. Occasionally she peek to see him in full attention listening. To her, he is like any other man she knows. There is nothing strange about him. Even though he is so much older than she is, Li Tong don't feel the difference.
They travel in the car in silence. She watch the lines on the floor as the car moves. While Shou Ren try to concentrate on driving. Occasionally he will peek at her. The awkward silence is not helping them. Li Tong is wondering what to talk to him about. She never have this kind of awkwardness before as she always have something to talk about to anyone. But tonight is somehow special to her. When he kiss her hand, she feels a sudden explosion of happiness in her. Like a rose that blooms suddenly without noticing. She smile to herself thinking back when he said those words in the dark theatre.
"Tonite the concert is a success. It's a full house and everyone is enjoying the music. Thank you for inviting me. "
"I am glad that you come and see me preform. Even though i am not the main player..."
"You are still wonderful. No matter which position you are playing at, i think, you are the best and the most beautiful one there. "
She blush and smile. Suddenly he stop the car. She open her eyes wide in surprise. "Is the car..."
"I want to tell you this..." He takes a deep breath "I ... " Shou Ren's heart beats wildly and he continue to take deep breaths. His hands clutch the steering wheel tightly and he pinch his lips tightly. He suddenly turn to her before he open to say, Li Tong is on her phone. "Wha what are you doing?"
"Goggle for a toll truck."
"No no no there is nothing wrong with this car."
Shou Ren grab her hand and her phone drop. She look at the phone on the floor.
"LI Tong, look at me."
"Are you , ok?"
"I want to say this to you tonite. I know i am so much older than you. You may not like me the way i like you. I ..."
"I like you. I don't think you are old. "
Shou Ren look at her quietly. He lower his head and sit back in the position for driving. She realise what he is thinking so she release the safety belt. Lean over to the driver, she use both hands to reach out for his cheeks and turn his head. She kiss him on his lips gently. "I said i like you" Shou Ren in daze stare her face in front of him. Slowly he smile and reach for her hands on him.
"You do know i am 42 this year? I am so much older than you ..."
"I don't see the age of you Mr Tian. I see the goodness that you have. All my life no one have ask me to stay. No one wants me around but when i met you. Things change. You do want me to be a round. For the first time, i feel that someone wants me and you make me happy."
"I do want you, Li Tong. I don't know when i start liking you and want to protect you. I want to see you everyday in my life. I want to hear and see you play the violin."
She lean over and hug him and he hug her tightly. They break away and Shou Ren try to focus to start the engine. While she try to buckle up the safety belt. Both of them laugh and hold hand. Reaching back in the apartment, they kiss on the lips and go back to their own room. Li Tong rush to her little space and put down her violin case and dance around the small space. While Shou Ren like a smily zombie walk to his bed and collapse facing down. He full his bed cover over himself and roll on the bed. He giggle and kick his legs. He want to tell the whole world, his girlfriend is finally here, in his house. He sits up suddenly still wrap in the cover, he suddenly have a thought to sign up a social media account .
The next few days, they spend their time together outdoors. Going to theme parks, cycling, going to the museums, attend art exhibitions. Shou Ren post in social media whenever he takes photos of her or them together. How if he sees anything negative written on the comments section, he will deleted it and block the user. When he told aunt Mei about him dating Li Tong, she laugh and say it's about time. Even aunty Ling approves of Li Tong seeing her sweet nature. However Shou Ren dislike seeing boys around her age circling Li Tong. In thee end, Li Tong always run to him and ensure Shou Ren that she only have her eyes on him.
"You are not wearing this. Change something else."
"This dress is fine. I am not changing."
"You have to! Look your breast is too temping! They are so big and round and white and smooth... i might not able to walk out of the door..." His words got quiet at the end of the sentences and he did not like at her. He try to stare at the TV instead. She walk in front of the TV with her hands on her hips.
"What are you thinking?"
He maintain his silence and not move an inch and pretend to watch the TV.
"Go and change i beg of you. Wear something to cover those... my cock can't take those attack of yours."
She giggle and cover her lips. She walk over and sit beside him.
"We are going to be late. Please change. I don't want other people to stare at you. I don't like it. If you wear it in the house just for me to see, i don't mind but not when we are going out... please..."
" Fine. You go pick an outfit that won't cause a problem to you."
She lean near him and breath him in ear. Shou Ren who is trying hard to breath normal. She stride over his legs and sit there. "Li Tong!"
"Do you want to see" She look down to her breast"them?"
"No" He whimper softy while trying to breath.
"Are you still a virgin?"
"Of course not! I have relationships before. I have sleep with them!"
"Well why are you like that?"
"Because i want to respect you! Till you are ready. If i am your destiny, i will sleep only with you. I will think and see you only when we fuck in bed. "
She lean on him and said softy in his ears "I am a virgin. I never going to have other man except you. I have never seen a naked man. Never have touch one or near a man this close." Outside the window, the sun is setting. She watch the sunset while hugging the man she is in love with. While he is trying to absorbed what she said and tame his member. Shou Ren finds himself like a young man back in his 20's. His hand reach out and feel her breast. He cannot control his temptations back anymore. She sit up and allow him to touch and squeeze. Her heart is beating wildly and she swallow her saliva that is going to drip out. He watch her quietly as he feel them.
