Chapter 5

"Do you have any problems?" asked the man as he looked upward towards the beautiful, calm and bright sky.

"Huh?" Li Rui asked as she did not hear what he had said for a moment.

The sudden approach from the stranger who started the conversation shocked her.

"I said, do you have any problem? As your face does not look in good condition?" The man looked towards Li Rui, turning his gaze from the calm sky to her questioning gaze, which was clearly visible in the bright daylight, and revealing how surprised the girl was hearing something out of the blue from a stranger's mouth.

"Huh..., My--my face doesn't look good,?" Li Rui's eyes open wide as she comments, surprisingly she gave attention to his words and touching her dedicated face with both hands as how much concern she was for her face that she came out of her dazedness.

Even though she ignored his question, only her attention went on her face. When he mentioned it.

"Hmmm, a little," the man replies honestly and a chuckle escaped from his calm lips. Like he knew whoever the women were and how their mood was at any time, but they would not be able to withstand it when they found their complexion was not good. Li Rui was not pleased with that moment because of Qin Shiyan and other thoughts. So her face lost all the sunshine and cheerfulness she had before.

Fixing her face a little with her small hands, she glanced at the man sitting beside her.

Firstly Li Rui did not understand why suddenly an unknown stranger asked something like that ' about her situation, which was rare for anyone to ask from the stranger' but she didn't act rude to him. when he acted decently after commented about her face and asked something little. So, she let her guard down.

"Nothing…" replied Li Rui to his first question, which he asked a moment ago, as she was not the type of person who can share her problem with a stranger.

"But your face was saying something different a moment ago," states the man, glaring at Li Rui's face, which was not in good condition after fixing her face. As it has lost the calm and the excitement which could be seen on her face before.

Could you see that?

Is it written all over my face?

Or are you a magician? She wondered.

Li Rui turned silent for a while when he could see through her. Li Rui has bitterness and many questions inside her, but she can't let them out in front of strangers.

"Do I know you, anyhow?" inquired Li Rui to him, as she remembered she didn't know him at all, but he behaved like they knew each other.

"No, we don't." The man cleared what she was thinking, looking into Li Rui's black eyes.

How could he know her? It was his first time seeing her.

 He understands well why Li Rui asked this and, ignoring her query to solve this, whether or not they know each other, he said something different.

"If you have something, then be let out. You would feel better after saying them," the man suggested as he was someone who knows all the things well.

Did he see through others well?

"sorry".... Li Rui whispered while clutching the bag which was in her lap.

"Sometimes, sharing the stuff with a stranger would be easy to calm yourself down to share with someone. who doesn't know to you, as a stranger would never judge you," he explains his point to Li Rui. Surprisingly to herself, Li Rui nods.

How could she tell the things to a stranger?

Li Rui stares at him for a brief amount of time.

The man did give her all the time she needs. as he didn't disturb her, let her decide herself. it seemed he understood others better than them.

Li Rui took a calm breath and signed looking at the bright sky. she answered.

"Okay, I will," said Li Rui, because she had lots of things inside her and she wanted someone who could listen to her.

"Then tell me, what was inside of your mind?. And what things were bothering you. As it was clearly visible on your face, that something must be bothering you." Asked the man, straightening to his position and gawking upward again, staring towards the sky like something would come out from there, as he was ready to hear out Li Rui.

"Is money is so powerful? That other can do all the things they want, maybe it'll hurt someone's feelings," question Li Rui and she also copied the man who was looking in the sky and she also starred in the bright and beautiful sky. That looks pleasant as they help calm the person.

"Why are you asking this?" asked the man with a puzzled look.

"Today I met a devil, who was like that, and what he thinks, he can do as he likes," Li Rui complained about what was in her mind and deep down in her heart to a stranger.

She told him all the things that happened today as she explained to him.

In all, the man didn't say a word as he heard Li Rui patiently and let her out from all inside her.

"All the people are distinct and their situations," he only said this, which Li Rui doesn't understand. But she nodded to the man as she felt much better after talking to him and blanking out what was running inside her heart.

"It's work," Li Rui smiled and glanced at him with anticipation. 

"I know, it always works," the man nods.

as he was someone, who had gone through this circumstance in his life.

it seemed to be an experienced one.

"Um, by the way, I did not ask you before, but why are you here?" questioned the man, turning his head to Li Rui as he saw the girl in front of him, who was calm now. But listening to his question, her calmness again disappeared, and that turned into worry.

"Ohhh, my God, I forgot about my sister," Li Rui asserted in a hurry as she stood from the bench after remembering her sister when he mentioned why she came here.

"What happened?" Asked the man as Li Rui's reaction puzzled him.

"I came to pick up my younger sister and forget about her. I have to go and look for her now, sorry," Li Rui said and rushed out from there, after saying sorry to the man as she left him halfway.

But she paused and turned back to look at the man who helped her with her thoughts. His brief words helped her.

"Thank you! I will give you a treat next time when we meet someday," Li Rui said with a smile as her bright eyes stared towards him.

"It's ok, I will wait for that day and walk carefully," the man shouted while staring at Li Rui's face. Who turned and ran inside the airport from where passengers were coming out and going. 

The man looked at her retreating back while smiling and left from there.
