I've Been There Before

From Erhai Lake to Dali, there’s a special shuttle service to each of the streets.

However, it’s not those grand and high-end buses, but those of the olden times.

Currently, Grace was in the pickup truck driven by Kern. They were heading towards Dali.

Along the road were green patches of farmland. No skyscrapers were visible in this area.

Kern rolled the windows down. He asked, “Do you want to listen to music?”

“It’s your choice.” Grace squinted her eyes lazily while leaning against the passenger seat. She’s so drowsy that she barely had the energy to even open her mouth to speak.

Kern glanced at her.

The cool breeze blew into the truck, messing her waist length hair. Somehow, it’s a little disturbing to his eyes.

Her hair was a little messy. There’s a few strands of hair that was covering her face. He couldn’t help but to reach out to remove those strands.

Grace’s eyes opened wide as soon as she felt a cold touch. She became aware and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Your hair is messy.” He laughed, not realizing the awareness she had in her eyes. He continued to pick up the strands and tucked it behind her ears.

“Smack!” Grace slapped Kern’s fair hand without any remorse.

“Ouch!” This lady!

Annoyance flashed across his eyes for a second before putting on a pitiful face. “Boss, you misunderstood. I only did that because your hair was messy. Nothing else.”

Nothing else?

Grace watched him coldly, “Mr. Lo, are you sure it’s not because that you can’t keep your hand to yourself?”

She snorted, he’s just being a pervert.

“Oh…I have that…” Kern stuttered.

She frowned. “What’s that?”

“It’s… OCD.” There’s shame on his face as he explained. Grace went silent.

OCD…It’s not his fault then.
