บท 46: Am a grown ass woman.

"Don't worry I won't say anything". Liu Longwei said, bringing this thumb and index finger to his lips making the sign of zipping his mouth.

"Good. During the holi festivals, the Indians put on an all white clothes and then, they celebrate and smear different colors on themselves. Diwali festival is held in the autumn and it's celebrated by lighting candles and clay lamps and then crowned with fireworks".

Liu Longwei was surprised that she knew this much about India so he asked, "How come you know so much about them?".

Chen Lihua answered immediately, "Well, I learnt all these from their movies".

"From the cooking show I watched, I learnt that the Indians have many varieties of herbs and spices, and they cook with them. They are team natural, just like us".

Chen Lihua said grinning.

"And they treat their women like a goddess. Well actually for some people, and I guess is because of their law and culture".

Liu Longwei smiled, "I can see the way you're smiling, I can tell that you're happy talking about the".

"Yeah, I only talk about what I like about them because it makes me happy. I like many other countries as well and their culture, and this is who I am".

Liu Longwei chuckled, "Does your learning how to cook different dishes has something to do with the countries you like?".

Chen Lihua shakes her head but because she's lying on the bed she responded, "Not really. Once I taste a food for the first time and like it, I will learn how to cook it. Well this doesn't mean that I know how to cook all the dishes I like. If I want to cook any new dish, I can just go to google and my problem is solved".

"OK". Liu Longwei gave simple reply before saying, "You have deviated from talking about your phobias to another thing".

Chen Lihua heaved a sigh and gestured with one of her hands, "Imagine, look at me. Am sorry, I was carried away".

"No problem, you can always continue from where you stopped".

Chen Lihua laughed displaying her dimples, "OK. The second phobia which is Trypanophobia (Fear of needles) is not serious at all, well I don't even know if it's really a phobia or not because am just afraid of injections and drips as the neddles has to pierce my skin for their work to be accomplished".

Liu Longwei laughed because he found what Chen Lihua said funny.

"Do you normally cry when you see an injection needle?".

Chen Lihua hit Liu Longwei lightly on his shoulder immediately he finished asking.

"What are you saying? Am a grown ass woman, so why would I cry. The doctor or nurses just need to pet me a little and that will do the trick. If I was still little, I would have ran away on siting the neddle and then start crying when am caught".

"You are really funny, and I like the way you talk". Liu Longwei says, smiling.

"Thank you". Chen Lihua said winking with a smile on her face as the evidence of feeling proud from being complimented.

When she winked, her dimples were not left out, because they were once again on display.

Looking at her dimples, Liu Longwei felt happy because looking at Chen Lihua's happy face, he felt satisfied and happy.

He felt that there shouldn't be sadness, sorrows or tears on such a beautiful face. Then he vowed to himself to always try to make her happy.

Chen Lihua felt weird from Liu Longwei staring at her so, she looked away from him, cleared her throat and continued talking.

"Pharmacophobia (Fear of drugs) is not serious as well, is on the same level as the Trypanophobia. I hate the smell of drugs because it can make me throw up".
