Chen Lihua intiated a hug.

Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua went downstairs together and into one of the rooms there, which is the gym room.

Then, Liu Longwei showed Chen Lihua the Bluetooth speaker, where she would play the music from, through her phone.

"Connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker and play a song". Liu Longwei said pointing at a Bluetooth speaker.

Liu Longwei switched on the Bluetooth speaker and connected it to her phone, then she played a song.

Turning around to look at the room, she was in awe. She saw a barbell, dumb-bells, rowing machine, a treadmill and an exercise bike.

"What a little gym house you've got here". Chen Lihua said looking around.

Liu Longwei swiftly replied, "Thanks. Sometimes am so busy that I don't have the time to visit a gym house and with that I crafted my own".

"That's a really good idea". While talking, she walked towards the treadmill.

Liu Longwei's eyes followed her, and as he looked her up and down, he noticed that her shoelace was not tied properly and if she climbed the treadmill and ran on it, she would trip and resulting to a bad fall.

So, he called her, "Lihua".

Chen Lihua stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, "What?".

Liu Longwei walked to her, and stopped in her view, the he squatted while saying, "Look at your shoelaces, it's already dropping. Don't you know how to tie them properly?".

Chen Lihua looked at her feet and saw that the shoelaces had come undone, she sighed.

Then hearing Liu Longwei's question, she answered truthfully, "It's true, I really don't know how to tie it".

Liu Longwei was helping her to retie the shoelaces, and as he heard what she said, he paused and looked up at her.

"You're joking right, because I was only joking, so don't take the question serious".

Chen Lihua shakes her head in a negative stance, "It's not a joke, I really don't know how to tie it. No matter how hard I try, I still can't get it right".

She then sighed and continued, "From my little age till the time I traveled, my mother always tied it for me. I can tie shoelaces for other people, but I can't tie for myself. The best that can happen is that, if I finally manage to tie it, the shoelaces would look different, the shoelace on my right shoe would be different from my left shoe".

Liu Longwei smiled saying, "Don't worry, you have me now".

And with that, he stood up, patted her shoulders lightly, before walking to the rowing machine.

Seeing him walk away after patting her shoulders, Chen Lihua frowned a little and then looked down at her feet. She was surprised, she even bent down to have closer look.

Liu Longwei had tied the shoelaces into a butterfly style, and the design was neat and tight, so it won't easily come undone.

Chen Lihua traced the shoelaces and smiled harmlessly, She couldn't describe the feeling she felt, but deep down her heart, she knew she was very happy and satisfied.

She stood up, and with a smile on how face, she went towards Liu Longwei who was already sitting on the rowing machine.

She bent down and hugged him saying, "Thank you".

Liu Longwei was surprised that she initiated a hug, but he hugged her back.

When Chen Lihua pulled away, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead she glanced at her neatly tied up shoelaces and said, "Thank you, it's pretty".

"You're welcome, are you that happy?". Liu Longwei asked with a smile.

"Yeah, of course, I feel so touched". Chen Lihua answered sincerely.

Liu Longwei said gently, "OK, from today onwards, I will help you to tie your shoelaces. Now go ahead and exercise for a bit".

Chen Lihua nodded and walked towards the treadmill, she put it on, and started treading slowly.
