Chương 45: Chen Lihua's phobias.

'Asshole?', well he would just let her be for now.

Chen Lihua layed down properly after Liu Longwei released her legs but she still faced him.

Liu Longwei layed down and faced Chen Lihua asked well.

Changing the topic, he asked, "What are you most afraid of?".

"You mean my phobia?". Chen Lihua asked.

Liu Longwei nodded in affirmation.

Chen Lihua sighed before answering, "I have acrophobia, Trypanophobia, pharmacophobia, and ophidophobia".

Liu Longwei looked at her confusedly saying, "I only understood the first and the third one, acrophobia which is fear of heights and pharmacophobia, which is fear of drugs, what is the meaning of the other two?".

Chen Lihua cleared her throat and answered, "Trypanophobia is the fear of needles, and ophidophobia is the fear of snakes".

"OK, so, how do you cope with your phobias?" Liu Longwei asked because he was concerned about her.

Chen Lihua answered while gesturing with her hands, "For acrophobia, I don't think I can cope with it because, my fear for hights is on another level. Even looking down from a two story building or a duplex brings a great amount of fear in me. Once I look down from there, I'll become so afraid as if I will fall from there the next minute and I'll start breathing so fast, if the place am standing is higher than a duplex and I look down, I will have those symptoms and also faint from the fright".

Liu Longwei asked, "What about seeing that height from a television or a magazine?".

"If I see the height from a television, I'll still be as scared as when am standing there physically. But as for a magazine or a newspaper, the symptoms are minor but sometimes, it doesn't affect me at all.

Liu Longwei sat upright because he found what Chen Lihua was saying interesting.

"From what you said right now, it means you've never ridden a Ferris wheel before and all those rides and activities that has to do with heights?"

"Yeah. I discovered that I had fear of heights when I was 6 years old when I tried climbing a tree. I saw my maternal cousins climbing a guava tree and decided to join them. I didn't even climb that high when I looked down. I became so afraid that I couldn't come down from the tree so I started crying untill my cousins called one of my uncle's. So he carried me down from the tree. And since then, I've never dated to climb a tree".

Chen Lihua chuckled at the end and Liu Longwei laughed as well as he found her story funny.

Chen Lihua continued, "When I used to watch Indian movies, I sometimes carry my heart with my hands especially when they are dancing. They like dancing on a mountain and close to the place where the devil could take their bodies if they fall".

Liu Longwei laughed out loud because Chen Lihua sound ex funny, "So you watch India movies?".

Chen Lihua shrugged, "Yeah".

"If I may ask, what do you like about them?".

"Chen Lihua smiled, "I like so many things about them. First is their culture. I like their dressings like their Sari and others. I like their festivals especially the holi festival, which is the festival of colours and Dewali which is the festival of light".

"Wow! You really do know a lot about them". Liu Longwei said, astonished.

"Of course. I even have some of their clothes and Lady Chen doesn't know about them".

Liu Longwei pointed a finger at his head saying, "Am really wondering what Lady Chen would do to you if she finds out".

Chen Lihua frowned a little, "You'd better not say anything to her or else your head will pay for it".
