Love Began with the First Meeting

Pursing his lips, Brian gazed at Molly whose face had turned deathly pale. Frowning, he could tell that Molly was at a loss what to do at that moment. Her pale face reminded him of what he had seen at Mr. Shen's place when he went to pick her up.

Molly hadn't been sleeping on the bed. Instead, she had curled up on the floor in a corner, burying her face between her legs. This scene was familiar to him as he had found Molly cowering below the stairs once before.

She must have been terrified last night.

Brian knew that Molly was claustrophobic, and now, it seemed that she was showing signs of autism too. She must have been through something so terrible that huddling up in the corner made her feel safe. However, she looked calmer than he thought.

He had thought that Molly was just an ordinary girl, but now he was starting to think that he had been wrong. She might be much stronger than he thought, and this thought intrigued him. He wanted to get to know her better, but slowly. She was like a book which he wanted to read gradually and carefully, page by page. Even if she didn't want to let him in her heart, he was determined to get to know her better.

"You don't need to worry about that!" said Shirley with clenched teeth. Then, she grabbed Molly's arm and continued walking with her. Molly was still in a daze because of Shirley's abrupt decision to leave.

Everyone remained silent again. It seemed that the surrounding air was completely frozen.

Since Shirley was so anxious to leave, she held onto Molly's arm to lead her out. Molly had no choice but to walk with Shirley. Although Molly was looking ahead, she felt that someone's eyes were glued on her from behind. Apparently, it was Brian's piercing eyes that had followed her retreating steps.
