The Most Pleasant Thing to Hear

When they went out of the ship, the old boatman coughed loudly and shifted Bei Er Duo’s attention to him.

“It’s been a hard work for you. Thank you.” Bei Er Duo smiled when she said it.

“It’s okay, it’s my work.” The old boatman said it then examined her appearance. She was still wearing that giant jacket. He couldn’t help but to suspect, “Young lady, how could you wear that big of clothes, even the sleeves could touch the ground.”

“It’s because I wear his clothes.” Bei Er Duo pointed at Ye Shu Wei, who was in front of her. She explained it shyly.

The face of the old boatman turned profound, he looked with condemnation toward Ye Shu Wei. This man’s heart was not pure. The old boatman said: “Next time come again during the day time, it isn’t safe to come around night.”

Bei Er Duo said: “It’s okay. Anyway I will not come alone, there would be him.”

“Even you are couple, but before it is stable you also need to be careful.” The old boatman reminded her.

He’s been in this profession for twenty years, every time couple came here. The girl would always had untidy makeup and clothes. He knew clearly what was happening. But he never said anything. But this time, this young girl seemed to be very kind and cute, he couldn’t help but to remind her.

Bei Er Duo was slow in understanding the old man’s meaning, she explained shyly: “No need, he is a gentleman.”

Ye Shu Wei heard about Bei Er Duo’s comment about him, he thought about it then turned his body. He extended his hand and held her hand to go to the shore.

“You hear it?” Bei Er Duo asked him, “I meant that old man’s words.”

“Em.”

“You are not angry, right?” She smiled and looked at his expression, “He regarded you as someone with hidden intent.”

“I wouldn’t.” He looked calm, “It’s okay as long as you see me as the true gentleman.”

………….

This night Bei Er Duo could not sleep.

Most of the time, she has insomnia because of two reasons. First because feeling too depressed or too happy. Today she was too happy that she couldn’t sleep.

Although these all were fake, but he is real.

Being able to get close to someone she like, she could rely on this “justifiable” reason to “honorably” get closer to her, it is a happiness for her.

Although she had no dating experience, but toward him from time to time there is feeling of excitement. Being able to get physical touch with him sometimes confused her. Being together with him side by side to wander it is really smooth and real feeling. This should the authentic feeling during dating.

On the boat before what she said is real. She never felt any intense and difficult feeling toward the opposite sex. He is the first man that let her feeling reluctant to separate.

Thinking about this made her shy, she flipped over her body, and took the sweater that she placed on the pillow before.

A moment ago after they got to the shore, he said that the temperature was too low, he was afraid that she would got a cold so he stubbornly insisted her to continue to wear his clothes. Until they arrived in the car, she kept on wearing that. Lastly, unexpectedly she wore it until she was home.

She sticked her face close to the collar of the jacket. She took a deep breath, indeed it was full of the scent that belonged to him.

She feels that she is liking him more and more….. especially when he talked about his parent’s marriage. It expresses his own perspective about marriage. Her appreciation and admiration toward him is doubled.

Do I need to gather my courage to look for time to confess to him? Maybe after the publicity activities is done, then if she was rejected, she could accept it better, and wouldn’t meet him again.

Bei Er Duo placed the jacket back and at down. She opened the light.

She never been the one that worry about personal gains and losses, but didn’t expect that in her twenty five years ld, her firs love would be this hard.

She didn’t like herself now.

If she loves, she hopes that herself to be able to treat this love confidently and full of energy like any other else that she had encountered.

But for her, other goals and targets compared to Ye Shu Wei, that huge living animals, was too far. For Ye Shu Wei, she lost her confidence.

——

“For Ye Shu Wei, you could lose your confidence because you are too understanding about his temper. If you confess first, and being rejected, you will be isolated and he would leave you faraway.” During the recess, Tang Li called Bei Er Duo as love teacher.

“If in the end, you guys couldn’t be a friend, you are afraid of it.”

“Really?”

“Yes, Er Duo. I know you too well. In the past when you joined the speech contest, literature and art joint performance, sports competition, marathon, even opening little hotpot store after graduation, you keep on having a positive way of thinking to do it. You didn’t ask for the result, you didn’t afraid to lose. But this time is not the same time, you are afraid that you will lose Ye Shu Wei.”

“I don’t know.” Bei Er Duo felt herself to be a bit worried.

“If our male classmates knew that you, the magnificent campus belle, now unexpectedly is in the confusion of whether to confess or not, they definitely wouldn’t believe it.”

“What campus belle? It’s all in the past, why should you still mention it.”

“I just want to say. You have the capital to love Ye Shu Wei, what should you afraid of.”

“But Ye Shu Wei doesn’t care about a woman’s appearance, he also doesn’t care what other men care. So I am very confused, what kind of girl he likes.” She happened to be encountered an abnormal man.

“I don’t know about this, Chief Yu also doesn’t know about it.”

Suddenly mentioning Chief Yu, Bei Er Duo switched over the topic: “How is your relationship with Chief Yu recently?”

“It’s okay. Now between us is just normal boss-employees relationship.”

“Isn’t it awkward?”

“He completely doesn’t show any awkwardness. I just showed a bit.” Tang Li said. “Don’t you worry. I am okay. Anyway, when had my crush ever be successful? It would be weird to successful. Moreover, what he said it’s reasonable, it is too hard to have office romance”

Although Tang Li said it like that, but Bei Er Duo could hear out her mood and feeling.

“Okay, I will hang up first. I want to go to the pantry to make coffee.” Tang Li said.

She ended the call and Tang Li went to the pantry with her mug. By chance she met Xing Zhen, who was holding a new design proposal, she went straight to the second floor.

Xing Zhen is the new intern. She was recommended by Yu Sheng’s friend, and she was in the marketing department as her. The first day she came to work, she already received a special treatment and warm welcome. She was guided personally by Chief Yu. She kept on praising Chief Yu to be a considerate and protective man.

Tang Li looked at her figure from the closing elevator, her heart was disappointed and frustrated.

Indeed Chief Yu is kind toward everyone, she was not a special one for him. To involve personal feeling toward work is too childish action.

Suddenly she felt envy for Bei Er Duo. If it’s Ye Shu Wei, he definitely wouldn’t be friendly toward any opposite sex, those women would only be the passer-by for him.

Although Bei Er Duo’s voice was exhausted from the phone, but everyone could know that she was in cloud nine….

Tang Li prepared her coffee, and took out her phone to send a message to Ye Shu Wei with a polite tone.

“Ye Shu Wei, sorry to trouble you. This period of time please make some time available for get in touch with Bei Er Duo. In dating aspect, she doesn’t have many experiences, I am afraid that she would make a mistake.”

Until late at night, Tang Li forgot that she sent a message to Ye Shu Wei. Ye Shu Wei just responded. 

“It’s not a trouble.”

…….

Bei Er Duo just finished her shower then she opened her Weibo, she was surprised to see a lot of people “@“ her.

It was from thirteen high school female student. She said that one day she slipped away to the balcony and noticed that Ye Shu Wei and Bei Er Duo were there to have lovers’ rendezvous. That time they couldn’t control themselves, and be together. It was a shocking scene, she was terrified.

There was a lot of people comments for not believing that, yet a lot of them “@“ her to not whether it was real or not.

Bei Er Duo was embarrassed, that night she rejected Ye Shu Wei to go to hotel and suggested to go to her old school. Then they met that students.

Unexpectedly that female student told it online, like herself did an innocent act that time.

“It is said that you and your boyfriend be together and played excitedly, and being seen by the innocent students. I just want to say that you guys should be more careful. Bye bye…” Many people commented that way.

Bei Er Duo was regretted, if she knew that this would be known she would go to the hotel with Ye Shu Wei.”

“I feel this matter most likely to be true. Because Bei Er Duo was graduated from thirteen high school. Once in a while, it is rational to take boyfriend to go back to school to look for excitement.”

Bei Er Duo knew that she couldn’t explain it clearly.

Just as expected, when Bei Er Duo posted a photo of her and Ye Shu Wei on the lake that day for the duty, there was immediately a lot of comments.

“This time you guys shifted to Mt Tiantai by boat? Don’t you guys play crazily. Be careful you could turn the boat.”

……….

Bei Er Duo sent a message to Ye Shu Wei to complain bitterly. Ye Shu Wei responded calmly: “I told you from the start to check-in to the hotel with me, but you wouldn’t hear me.”

Bei Er Duo: “…….”

“But hearing you this way, netizens are more amusing than my imagination.”

Bei Er Duo was still speechless, she thought Ye Shu Wei indeed has a different way of thinking than most people. She disdainfully put aside her phone and didn’t communicate again with him. 

Before sleep, she once again logged in to her WeiBo, the comments were joking about their “Mt Tiantai’s action movie”. 

She was a bit angry.

Bei Er Duo browsed around and looked the photo had almost more than thousand like.

She opened those who liked the picture, and noticed a very clear nickname: “Xiao Er Duo’s Shu Wei”.

Bei Er Duo’s heart stopped beating, she opened the username’s profile. It was empty without anything. It’s only had around ten followers. It just a new username.

……..

Xiao Er Duo’s Shu Wei.

How could it make her have a not good premonition
