Suyin was staring at her phone anxiously, pondering whether to call right away or let Wang Shi cool down a little. He must be angry ah!
*Ring*
Just then the phone rang and she bolted up from the swing in panic. "What to do? What to do?" she paced in the balcony, mumbling.
"Answer it, duffer," Jas’s voice ca.
"You are duffer. It’s all because of you." She scowled, then took a deep breath and answered.
"Hey, I want to et you."
"..."
Her parted lips remained opened upon hearing a sweet yet robotic voice.
A heavy silence ensued....
"Last ti you gave us the ride to school. I don’t keep favors, so I’m taking you for a al to show my gratitude. The Chinese restaurant on the Avenue Street is really good. We’ll pick you after two hours. Don’t forget to ssage your address. Bye."
A while later she asked, "Is that little fairy? Hello? Hello?..... Little fairy co back, hello?"
Suyin "..."
*Ting*
A ssage arrived, [Don’t be late. Honey]
Suyin "..."
Jas lifted her dropped chin up, "Don’t tell Wang Shi said I love you,"
Suyin was speechless. She really couldn’t decipher what Jas think of all day. He was beyond repair, or maybe he loves to tease her. "Nope. My fairy invited to lunch. Chinese it is."
"Who is the fairy?" He followed after her to the bedroom but was slamd shut, "O... My nose."
*****
Peeking from the door, Wang Shi smiled, praising his son’s efforts. Considering how socially awkward he was, it had been not easy for him to initiate a conversation and invite Suyin for lunch.
This small effort gave him a hope that one day Honey would let go of the bitterness in his heart and move on.
Next Honey didn’t forget to call his uncle Feng Jianyu to inform him they are not coming at his place today. Though Yuyu and Lan would be disappointed, he would apologize to them later.
*****
"Ready?" Wang Shi checked Honey’s seat-belt before driving out of the garage, acting oblivious to the Lunch plan with Suyin. "Do you want to buy anything for Yuyu and Lan?"
"We are going to the Water wind Towers," He didn’t take off his gaze from the window. As usual, the people on the streets fascinated and delighted him with their daily activities. "I’m taking her for a al at my favorite restaurant."
Wang Shi glanced at the front mirror, "Is this for ? Or are you really sorry?"
"For myself. I’m tired of you trying to guilt-trip . Let’s get over with this."
Wang Shi’s mouth curved. "Suyin’s right. You’re a little fairy,"
"I’m a MAN. End of the discussion." Honey’s arms crossed, a defensive posture that never ceases to amuse Wang Shi.
When the car entered the security check, Honey was smart enough to ssage Suyin to co downstairs. By the ti Wang Shi pulled over, he saw Suyin waiting for them.
But her clothes....
Wang Shi’s head snapped at the back seat, "You asked her to color coordinate?" She was wearing a denim dungaree and white tube top beneath. A refreshing look from her usual business attire that made her look young and added the oomph.
Honey glanced at her clothes and then at his own- denim dungarees and a white shirt with matching sneakers. His lips pursed, "Why would I? It’s a common combination. Just relax!"
Wang Shi, "Well... your choices are similar,"
"Hmpf" Restless, he looked outside the window trying to prepare himself to deal with the problem nad Zhao Suyin. Today He would do everything to convince her.
Suyin peeked inside the car and saw Honey seated at the back seat. Instead of taking a seat beside Wang Shi, she opened the back door, "Hi, little fairy. Are you on fever?" hopping in, she placed her palm on his forehead. "No, it’s not warm! Tell what your intentions are?" her eyes narrowed.
"Stop overthinking. I’m taking you for lunch. That’s it."
"It sounds more like a boyfriend is trying to make up to his girlfriend." She mumbled, ignoring the glare from both father and son. "And look..... We are matching with each other. This needs a high-five,"
Honey looked at her raised hand and then at her, seriously cursing himself to ruin his perfect weekend.
"Boring," Just when she was about to bring it down, she received a clap, shocking her. "Y-you... actually high-fived!?... such a cutie," she raised her paws to pinch him but received a warning.
"Don’t... No one’s allowed to touch my cheeks." His white cheeks fluffed a little when he warned tempting her to pinch it desperately.
"Once... please." Her cuteness attack ca up as she begged with her beautiful grey eyes.
Honey looked at the big duck, quacking continuously, He was sure she won’t stop eating his brain until he allows her once. "Fine. Only once. Be gentle."
"Thank you...."
Soon he regretted giving her the permission.
Gentle his ass. For good five minutes, she played with his cheeks until he started feeling dizzy with all the pulling, tugging, rubbing, pinching, and the worse.... Kissing. "Hey... I didn’t allow you to kiss,"
"But I took it. If you want it back, then take it," saying she brought her cheek near his lips. "Take as many you want."
Honey "...."
Wang Shi almost didn’t blow up for being neglected by both. He was looking at them like a fool, hoping to hear a simple hi from her. But no... All she noticed was his son, his cheeks, his clothes....
"Ahem..." He reminded her of his presence. In front of his son, she always treats him like air. Was he just a driver to her? "Hi, Miss. Zhao."
"Oh hi, let’s go. I’m looking forward to the place where my little Fairy is taking ." She looked briefly before bringing her attention back to his expressionless son. "What do you want?"
Wang Shi "...."
Honey "...."
Wang Shi felt a vein pop on his forehead as he gulped the bitter drink down and started the car to take his son and Suyin on a lunch date. He felt like being a third wheel in between them.
Seizing the opportunity to talk, Honey looked at Suyin, "I think I was rude to you that day. So here I apologize for my bratty behavior. I’m sorry."
For so reason, Suyin could feel there was sothing else behind Honey’s abrupt behavior. He was extra polite to her, letting her pinch his cheeks and no more grumpy. Is this related to the project Wang Shi proposed?
"Well...apology accepted," She didn’t disappoint him. Whether he really ans it or not, just accepting it was equally difficult. "But, I never took your words to heart."
"Why? Is it because I’m a child?" he not only questioned her with words but with his eyes.
"Who said that? Aren’t you a man?" She reminded him of what he calls himself always. "I didn’t take it to heart, because you were under the effect of vaccine that day. So being grumpy was normal. I too behave like that when I’m sick. And besides, do you think I would have co for lunch at the call of a little boy?"
Honey’s eyes suddenly brightened. This was the first ti soone has referred him as a man and took his words seriously. He raised his small head to see any signs of deception upon not finding any, a sense of satisfaction ca up and the corner of his lips rose up.
Wang Shi and Suyin, of course, noticed his cute smile. How could they not, when it’s rare of him to smile. Suyin pinched his cheeks, "Hey fairy, you look beautiful with that smile. Try it daily,"
"Hey..." Honey objected, "Just now you called a man and now you are pinching my cheeks."
Suyin "..."
"Cough... I would love to pinch your daddy’s, too" saying she leaned over and pinched Wang Shi’s cheek, shocking him. "..... but they are not as soft as yours. Yukkkk...."
Wang Shi adjusted the mirror at her face, watching in awe at her expression. Her cheeks were beyond an attractive rosiness, blossoming in a smile that shows the soul.
It shows a connection, that the smile and shyness ca from so deep emotion- sothing beautiful, sothing real.
On the other hand, Suyin secretly hides her hand with which she had pinched Wang Shi’s cheek. She rubbed her fingers feeling the remnants of his touch. Manly. Sexy. Cool. Can she do that again? How she wished she could pinch their cheeks daily.
