106 It must be those eyes

"What!!! "

Liling's eyes widened at what Xin Yong just told her. She sat upright and held the phone close to her ear to hear her clearly.

"Haha, wait, I don't mean sleep on the same bed, doesn't he have a sofa or something?, you couldn't sleep there, but it is required that you be in the room so he doesn't have difficulties reaching you since you said he can't make use of his hands. "

"Wait, you mean, I should share the same room with Liu Wei?"

Liling asked, her eyes widened a little. Xin Yong was surprised by her question, the Liling she knew didn't care about these type of things. If she was concerned about sharing a room, then that means...

"Liling, I didn't say share a bed. I said a room. Hehe, don't tell me you are beginning to like our Adonis?, else why should you be concerned about sharing a room, there's ..."

"Like?, haha, impossible!!. Why should I like him?, I can't even like him, it's not possible."

"You CAN'T like him or you DON'T like him, haha, anyways let me believe you, just hurry up and go to his room, but before then, I have a gist for you, hehe."

Liling shook her head and sighed.

"The only gist you can have is about Jin Yue and no one else, so what happened this time?"

"Haha, Liling!!, why are you making it so obvious?, it's not exactly like that!"

Xin Yong laughed shyly hearing Liling's reply.

"Of course, you are heads over heels for him, it's always, Jin Yue this, Jin Yue that.."

Xin Yong caught her off with her uncontrollable laughter, after sometime she continued.

"Okay, it's about him, ..us actually. Guess what, after the picnic today, Jin Yue took me to his family home.."

Liling's eyes widened, she immediately asked.

"Be serious?, hey, it seems Jin Yue is very serious with you!."

Liling exclaimed, she was surprised to hear that.

"It doesn't seem, he's actually very serious. Haha, I know it."

Xin Yong exclaimed, giggling lightly.

"Gush Liling, his family was so nice. They all liked me, and I mean, they were perfect!, his dad is dead actually, it was just his mom and his two sisters. Like I felt at home, like I actually belonged there!

Xin Yong continued dreamingly.

"Mmm?"

"What!!, Liling, why are you sounding so strange, haha? "

"Strange? am I?, haha, I'm just surprised how deep deeper deepest you've fallen for him, it is even evident in the way you call his name."

"Liing!!, is that true? I didn't know I call his name differently, haha!"

"Liling!!, how can I leave my BFF and make a sister in-law whom I just met, the chief bridesmaid?, it's not done, it's yours by right! "

"Haha, okay, let me go and check up on our boss as you said, we'll see on Monday, good night and sleep tight."

Liling cut the call when she heard a response from the other side. As she cut placed her phone by the side, she took in a deep breath and quickly stood up from the bed.

Picking up her pillow, she made for his room. As she approached, her heart rate increased. She had to stop to calm herself down. Thinking about it, she queried herself.

'Why am I so tensed up?, is not as though we're sleeping together on the same bed?. I'm just helping him since he's paralyzed! '

She tried to figure out why she was hyperventilating, her mind wandered back to what Xin Yong had said earlier on, but she immediately struck out the idea.

She didn't like him, it's not possible. She couldn't actually like him!, haha, that must be a very costly joke.

It must be... his eyes... Yes! His eyes that are so piercing, as though they want to delve into your inner thoughts and pry into your subconscious.

Yes, it was those eyes she was scared of, nothing more. She'll just avoid his eyes, and everything would be okay. Yes, she'll just have to avoid his eyes.
