"It's still early. Do you want to watch a movie or something?" Zhu Li Qiang asked Teng Man Rui while they were fastening their respective seat belts inside the car.

It was around four in the afternoon.

The scorching sun was still out on its mighty reign. It was spring, and although the the afternoon breeze was still a bit chilly, the mighty sun had unleashed its sweltering prowess. Overall, it was a good – no, perfect – afternoon for a date.

It was the kind of weather which encourages the ladies to wear a little less layers of clothes because of the sun, but come nighttime, the breeze would have lent a hand and encourage the chivalrous deed of the man to offer his coat to the lady.

But it was still too early for that. It was only four in the afternoon.

Teng Man Rui was quite disconcerted that she even had a hard time in fastening her seatbelt. She wasn't comfortable with being on a date with another man. After all, she had only known and been with one man, the devil.
