Chapter 332 - 313: Third Wheel-III

Li Jun Wei smiled at the people in the table, his eyes still at Mrs. Jin who also smiled with him in order to hide the displeasure she felt to her smart mouthed nephew. Before Mrs. Jin took a seat, Li Jun Wei continued, "she is very much like you auntie, I could see how you would look when you are still young."

Mrs. Jin grip tightened above her skirt, on the place where she settled it to be. Instead of taking the word as offense, Mrs. Jin agreed, "I also often heard about that. When I was young, people often called me beautiful and I am happy to hear that Nu Yuan is similar to me when I was young."

Madam Li spoke, "we should have asked the guest to come before the race, it would be much better if they could see the race."

"We still have dinner together, we could speak there." assured Master Li for Madam Li to nod. The family continued to chat, most conversations were about people and often time was works that was brought to the table. Jin Suzheng came only later after while the other younger cousins didn't come and seemed to be attending something different. 

When the time of dinner came, Li Lian and Li Jun Wei together walked to the dining room and Li Xiao Chen followed them. "Sister don't you think Zi Lingyu is very similar to you?"

Li Lian thought she did look almost similar to her, the ways she dressed, and there was the time when she noticed the woman shifting her position as if to follow her sitting position. Frankly it felt very uncomfortable to her. "Why do you think she is similar to me?" she asked.

"The way she dressed and her hairstyle. Her body shape and height is also similar to you. If you two walked from behind, I don't think I would be able to differentiate you two." Li Xiao Chen then furrowed his brows, "in the past I remembered Linyue to look differently. She had a brown colored hair that was short, did she grew in time and colored it black? Or was it black in the first place?" Li Xiao Chen kept on questioning and he met Li Lian's eyes, "Something's wrong?"

"Xiao Chen, are you alright?" Li Lian questioned and Li Jun Wei beside her also gave a look to him as if agreeing to ask the question.

"I am... what's wrong?" He replied with question.

"No, I just feel you are a little out of it today." replied Li Lian. Most of the time, Li Xiao Chen would be joking here and there, speaking to everyone but he was strangely quiet on the table, saying things very little. Unless Li Xiao Chen felt sick, or that he was in a trouble that affect him to be in his thoughts the entire day.

Li Xiao Chen brought a hand and pointed himself, "me?" and seeing Li Lian nod, Li Xiao Chen recall his day to notice that he had indeed been too quiet. The reason was Violet's words to him, saying that he was innocent. It was weird for him to be conscious about the word but he couldn't get the words out of his head. 

"Nothing." Li Xiao Chen turned his head when he saw his grandmother and his hand raised to wave, "Grandma!" He made a dash away as if to escape and stayed with Madam Li.

Li Lian and Li Jun Wei continued with their slow steps, taking their time to walk together and she spoke, "Zi Lingyu doesn't look like that before?" she asked him, her eyes watching his expression.

"She doesn't," replied Li Jun Wei, "she was someone who was on a quiet side. I recalled her not looking the way she did. Seeing that she came today with Mrs. Jin we would have to be careful about her." Li Jun Wei stopped raising his hand, he settled the hand to her head, rubbing gently that felt good and soft, "do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Very." Li Lian replied, "When I was sitting and tilting my legs, she did the same as me. It felt as if she is trying to copy me. I didn't say it earlier because it feels like my own thoughts. Xiao Chen is right if someone sees me and her from behind maybe they wouldn't be differentiate us." When Li Lian looked at Zi Linyue from behind, it was almost shuddering how terribly similar they were from behind. It's as if she was watching her own reflection. The difference was only their face. 

"I won't." replied Li Jun Wei, his eyes looking her was always seemed as if it was only directed at her, making her feel special then she ever felt. "I would never mistaken you with someone else."

Li Lian pulled the corner of her lips at him, "Really? Xiao Chen can't differentiate us. How are you sure of it?"

Li Jun Wei stopped his feet, his hand settled to her waist and brought her close, his other hand settled on her chin, "Don't underestimate the love of someone for years."

Li Lian bite her lips, feeling a burn in her heart and his hand on her waist make her shudders. She heard him say, "Now that you've seen many of my childhood pictures, did it seem like you remembered about me?"

Li Lian stared back at Li Jun Wei, her brows pulling. "Can't you tell me what happened?"

"I'm not trying to be coy," Li Jun Wei answered, giving an expression as if he was the one in a bind. "You were the one who told me not to remind you. It was your promise."

"Did I make this promise with you in the festival?" asked Li Lian, using the opportunity to her chance.

"Yes you did." answered Li Jun Wei and it seemed to Li Lian that he would reply more to her questions. 

"What else did I promise- mh." Li Lian felt his lips covering hers, his tongue skilledly entered her mouth and pushed where she felt the most sensitive and ticklish at.
