Chapter 96


    After more than half an hour, Wendy came out of the Temple.


    She looked around and found Charlie soon. He was standing under the old locust tree in the middle


    of the yard. Even if it was in a temple, he was still outstanding and eye-catching.


    It seemed that when he stood there, people couldn''t help getting closer to him.


    Wendy slowly walked to him and saw that he was in an impatient look, "It''s been quite a long time!"


    "Er, the longer I''ve been kneeling there, the more sincerer I would be!" Wendy rubbed her knees.


    Charlie moved his lips, as if he wanted to scold her for being so stupid, but he held it back in the


    end.


    It was faster to go downhill than. When they walked to the white Land Rover, Wendy paused and


    took out something form her pocket.


    "Charlie, this is for you..."


    Upon hearing this, Charlie reached out one hand to take it, "Hmm?"


    It was a string of beads made of sandalwood, and a small statuette of Buddha was hanging on it.


    "I said every child had a protective talisman. Your mum..." Wendy paused for a while and continued,


    "This is the protective talisman that I prayed for you. You can hang it on rearview mirror. It can bring


    you good luck!" So she had been kneeing in the temple for such a long time for this protective


    talisman.


    The protective talisman for him...


    Was this the innate maternal love of a woman?


    "What the hell?" Charlie frowned.


    Wendy was embarrassed. "If you don''t want it, just forget it..."


    The door on the other side opened. Wendy got into the car silently. When she was fastening the


    seat belt, she saw that he tied the beads to the rearview mirror. Then, he touched the small


    statuette of Buddha and shook it gently.


    She turned her head to aside, and the corners of her mouth rose secretly.


    It would take more than 40 minutes on the way back. The sun was gentle and not so ring after 3


    o''clock. Wendy was sleepy.


    When the car stopped, she looked around nkly and found them in an underground parking lot.


    Wendy followed Charlie took the elevator up from the basement. When the elevator door opened,


    they arrived at a cinema. Many people lined up before a ticket machine, surrounded by the posters


    of various movies.


    "Um, what will we do?" She asked in confusion.


    Charlie did not answer her question, only told her, "Wait here. I''m going to buy tickets."


    Then, Wendy saw him walking to the counter for tickets. He took out his wallet and pointed to the


    screen above. When he came back, he had two tickets, arge popcorn, and two cups of c in his


    hand.


    She still couldn''t figure out what they were going to do, so she asked tentatively, "Are we... going to


    watch a movie?"


    "Yes." Charlie replied.


    Watching a movie? Charlie and she?


    Wendy swallowed and looked at the red movie tickets. She still felt that it was incredible.


    She looked at the movie''s title on the poster. A romance?


    Charlie nced at her with his deep dark eyes and said slowly, "Women like to watch romances,


    right?"


    "Er." Wendy pulled her long hair and said in a low voice, "In fact, I prefer American action movie..."


    "Do you want to see it or not?" Charlie''s face darkened.


    "Yes, let''s see it..." She immediately became timid.


    They didn''t wait for a long time. Then, the broadcast reminded them that they could check in.


    Wendy followed Charlie closely like a puppy. She found most of the people that came to watch this


    movie were lovers, and few people would go alone or with a friend. The lovers stayed closely,


    chatted andughed.


    After they took their seats, the lights went turned off soon, and the big screen was lit up.


    Because they brought the ticketste, they sat in thest row. They could see everything clearly in


    this room.


    When the leading actor and actress were putting on an intimate scene, many couples had already


    snuggled up to each other. Some men embraced their women in their arms, and some women


    clung to their men''s shoulders.


    Wendy couldn''t help licking her lips, feeling a little uneasy.


    She secretly nced at Charlie next to her. The light from the big screen shone on his side face, but


    she could still see his clearly-defined face. He stared at the front with his deep eyes, as if he


    completely concentrated on the movie.


    Wendy moved her eyes away form him.


    Suddenly, the armrest between their seats was lifted up, and then her hand was wrapped by his.


    "Uh?" She looked over in surprise.

    Charlie squinted at her and saidzily, "You have been staring at me just now. Don''t you want me to


    hold your hand?"


    "No, I''m not..." Wendy was embarrassed.


    She blushed and tried to get rid of his hand, but he held her hand more tightly.


    "Keep your eyes on the screen!"


    The moviested for over a hundred minutes, and the ending song finally sounded. When the room


    was lit up again, many couples got up and walked out. Wendy and Charlie also followed them.


    She lowered her head. Charlie didn''t let go of her hand even when they went out. Aftering out


    of the cinema, Charlie asked her, "Are you hungry?"


    "A little bit..." Wendy replied honestly.


    "Let''s eating out, and then go home."


    "Okay."


    Charlie read the signage of the shopping mall at the entrance of the staircase, and then took her


    down to the first floor.


    Wendy''s one hand was always held by him, and her other hand was in her pocket, in which there


    were the movie tickets stubs.


    She looked up and fixed her eyes on his side face.


    He had apanied her to the temple to pray and then took her to watch movies and eat...


    Could it be... a date?


    Wendy''s heart beat faster.


    By the time the Land Rover arrived the high-end residential area, the night had fallen.


    Charlie went to take a shower first. Wendy was still staring at the tickets stubs. Suddenly, her phone


    rang, which shocked her a lot.


    There was a strange number on it. She frowned and put it beside her ear. A confident female voice


    sounded, "Wendy, I am back!"


    "Emily?" Wendy was surprised.


    "Yeah! I just got off the ne, and my legs were swollen!"


    "Where are you now? I''ll pick you up!"


    Emily, who was on the line, said with a smile as usual, "No, you don''t have to. Send me your home


    address. I''ll get off the bus at the airport soon, and then, I can take a taxi to your home!"


    "Okay!" Wendy answered.


    After hanging up and texting the address to Emily, she turned back, then was shocked again.


    Charlie stood behind her silently, with his deep eyes narrowed. There was a hint of danger in his


    eyes. "Who are you talking to? Felix?"


    As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw her on the phone with a faint smile.


    "Of course not!"


    Wendy shook her head repeatedly and exined, "It was a close friend, my university roommate."


    "A woman?" Charlie asked.


    Wendy was speechless. Could her university roommate be a man?


    After confirming the gender of her friend, Charlie''s expression turned to better. He pulled the


    bathrobe belt around his waist and made a knot.


    Wendy stared at his chest muscles and thought of the address she had just sent. Suddenly, she


    was in a dilemma. She bit her lips and asked, "Well, can I ask for a leave tonight?"
