Chapter 503: Punishment
Rui hurriedly put the huge teddy bear in his car. He smiled as he looked at it because the bear made it possible for him to get a little bit closer to Cali, physically.
It was torture at first, but then his heart was filled with her familiar scent and warmth and he felt grateful for these small, sweet moments. It was so hard for him to control the urge to hug her and feel her warmth without holding back.
"Patience, Rui..." he whispered and cheered himself up before hurriedly getting back to Cali, who was waiting for him near the entrance to the house of horror.
"Let’s go," he excitedly said as he approached her.
Cali nodded and headed inside. Rui quickly walked beside her.
"You can hold on to me anytime if you get scared, okay..." he offered as he walked behind Cali in the dark. They could already hear the screams of people not so far ahead of them.
"You see... I don’t get scared of crap like this. But I came here anyway because I wanted to compare this house of horror to the ones I’ve been to." Cali muttered.
Rui scratched his head, but his quick mind already had a back-up plan. He grabbed Cali’s arm and hugged it as he whispered, "Oh gosh, but I feel scared of creepy things like these. Oh God, please don’t let go of my hand..."
Cali’s eyebrows raised when she felt Rui tightly clasp her hand and then proceed to bend and hug her arm.
