Stealing Your Heart

This place did not look like a pub nor a restaurant. The interior seemed high-classed, and the place was quiet. There was barely anyone around.

Lin Xinyan was perplexed. “What place is this?”

“A bar.” He Ruize pulled her towards the room at the end of the corridor.

Lin Xinyan frowned. “It’s rare to see such a quiet bar.”

“This is a private bar. It’s not opened to the public, only to certain people. He Ruize explained, “It’s quiet here.”

“Oh.”

Soon, they reached the room. He Ruize pushed the door open. The warm lighting was dim, and the room was spacious. At the end of the room was a black leather couch and a round table. On the table, there were two bottles of red wine and two glasses.

Lin Xinyan looked at He Ruize. “You’ve booked this earlier?”

He Ruize’s expression stiffened, but he quickly returned to normal. “I’m a VIP here. This is my regular room. This wine is from my collection.”

Lin Xinyan walked in. “I thought you don’t like to drink.”

He Ruize stood at the entrance and fell into a momentary trance looking at her thin back. “People change, don’t they? I’m human and I have desires. I get upset when my love doesn’t get returned.”

His words meant something else.

Lin Xinyan understood.

She pretended to be casual as she looked around the room. Her hands traced the lampshade, knocked on the wine bottle, and moved the wine glasses. “There are billions of people in this world. To be able to meet is already fate. Some people are just not meant to be. You can’t force something that’s not meant to be.”

He Ruize lowered his head and laughed. “You’re still witty. Let me off a little. Don’t you know you should respect your elders?”

Lin Xinyan turned around and smiled at him. “You’re not old. In my eyes, you’ll always be that person dressed in a doctor’s coat with glasses, gently asking about Xinqi’s condition. You’re that person who takes care of me like a big brother. I’ll always remember that.”
