Behind Your Mask Is A Beautiful Smile 21 Chapter 21- Gay..?

"Huh?"

"You and your boyfriend!!"

"T..Thank you.."

"Oh wait, right, the introduction earlier was too awkward. I'll reintroduce myself hehe. I'm Huang Li Na. I'm a straightforward person so correct me if I'm wrong. Did you think that I came today to meet your boyfriend so you came along to show that you are his girlfriend?"

Ya Nuo nodded, "Well, it seemed to me that you were provoking me when you made eye contact with me when I was outside the café."

"Hehe, I wanted to meet you that's why I did that. I'm sorry for asking those questions if it made you in any way uncomfortable. I happened to help your boyfriend's mother when she was almost robbed on the streets one day. After that Auntie Xu probably did some research about me and wanted to set me and your boyfriend up. I just want to tell you that I am not interested in your boyfriend because I already have someone who I like a lot. I'm also not someone who would go for a man whose heart already belongs to another girl."

"Oh... I'm sorry I misunderstood you before. Then, let me reintroduce myself as well. My name is Yang Ya Nuo."

"Hehe, that's alright. I just wanted to clear things up. Can we be friends?"

"Yes." Ya Nuo smiled at her.

"Yay!! I never had much friends because of my family status so this is the first time I felt close to a female. I can finally talk to someone about my problems too."

'Li Na seems like a nice girl. No harm in having another friend. Phew, thank goodness she wasn't interested in Hei.'

Li Na smiled, "Are you relieved that I'm not a rival?" Ya Nuo blushed and Li Na continued teasing, "I'm envious of you. You have a boyfriend who loves you a lot."

'Hmm? But isn't Hei just acting? Maybe his words sounded moving so Li Na thought that way.'

Li Na smiled, "Maybe you got used to him looking at you, but from an outsiders point of view, I can tell he really likes you. How many guys would know their girlfriends favorite dish and make sure that the dishes doesn't contain any ingredients that the girlfriend can't eat? When you first appeared in front of him at the café, he looked like he was overstruck all over again. Don't tell me you didn't realize that."

'But normally I am a guy in front of Hei. How could he fall for me? That shouldn't be possible unless… he's gay!'

"L..Li Na, are you sure that's how he reacted when he saw me?'

"Just call me Nana. And of course! He was blus.h.i.+ng like a kitten earlier. If he really blushes to beauties showing up to his table then he would've done the same when he saw me. Also, his att.i.tude totally changed when you came to our table. He was much colder towards me hahahahaha but I think he is a great boyfriend. Better keep him to yourself and not let him slip away" Li Na winked.

After dinner, Li Na got in her car and offered Ya Nuo a ride home.

"Ya Nuo, do you want a ride home?"

Huan Hei interrupted, "Thank you for your offer, but she's fine. I will bring her home and watch her get in before I leave."

"Haha, alright. Get home safe!"

"Huan Hei, Li Na was being polite, you should have accepted her offer to bring your girlfriend home."

"Mom, we just met today. I don't trust her enough to leave my girlfriend in her hands."

"Sigh, alright. It was very nice having dinner with you two. Bring her to our house to play next time okay? I'll see you next time Ya Nuo."

"Thank you very much for dinner, Auntie Xu! I will treat you back next time."

"I'll look forward to our next dinner then." Mother Xu smiled and left with the chauffeur.

-In the car-

Mother Xu was in an extremely good mood. She recalled the way Ya Nuo and Huan Hei interacted during dinner. 'It was so heartwarming seeing the two of them putting food on each others plate. Ya Nuo helped pick out onions for Huan Hei and he cut the steak for her. They are so cute together. I'm glad he finally got himself a girlfriend and she's a good girl. I've never seen my son smile the way he did during dinner today. Not bad, not bad. Hubby, you should be relieved now. Not only is our son not h.o.m.os.e.xual, he found a gem.'

-Ya Nuo and Huan Hei-

The restaurant was around a 20 minute walk to Taekwondo house. On their way home, Ya Nuo was quietly thinking about how to test whether he was gay. The only way to test is by doing something intimating with him. She was lost deep in her thoughts and responded when Huan Hei suddenly pulled her in his embrace.

Gasp

"Hei, what are you!"

"Shh, let me stay like this for a bit."

"Nuo, Thank you for what you did today, but in the future, please don't do such a dangerous thing. You know that someone is targeting you. You got hurt last time because of me. I don't want anything to happen to you again."

"Hei, don't you question why I was there and suddenly showed up in front of you?"

"Heh, I trust you. Also, if it is you, I wouldn't mind telling you anything you want to know. You are too careless you know? Your sudden appearance was a surprise to me, but seeing you dressed up for me made me happy."

"Lucky it went well."

"What would happen if my mom didn't like you hmm? I can tell you that if she doesn't approve of you, she will do whatever she can to separate you from me."

"Hei, n.o.body can take me away from you unless you tell me yourself that you no longer need me by your side. Until that day ever comes, those who hates or disapproves can do whatever they want to do, but I will fight back."

Badump badump

She closed her eyes and counted his soothing heartbeats. She noticed that his heart rate increased after she hugged him back. 'Hmm.. maybe now is a good time to test him. But..I'm not too good at this... whatever, just do it! it's only a test anyways mhmm.'

She loosened her arms around his torso and wrapped it around his neck. Her fingers twirled on the back of his neck and made him s.h.i.+ver in response. She closed her eyes and tip toed a little with her head tilted. The street was a bit dark and only a few people were walking around. When her soft rosy lips met his, it felt as if time had stopped. His eyes widened in disbelief, but he got used to it quickly. His arms tightened around her slim waist and their kiss went deeper. Their breathing became unsteady and her fingers wrinkled his clothes. Whenever she tried to loosen from his embrace, he ends up pulling her back for more kisses. Her legs were losing strength, but the feelings that she is experiencing was too good that nothing else mattered to her anymore. She already forgot the main reason for kissing him.
