It was tasty and sweet . Yu Lili loved ice cream, especially vanilla and chocolate . She started putting spoonfuls of ice cream into her mouth, smacking her lips as she went along . She hooked Ou Ming's hand around her arm and walked out .
Ou Ming staggered as he was being dragged . Soon enough, he steadied his steps and walked out with Yu Lili .
When they were out, the cold air hit them once again .
Yu Lili held on to the ice cream . Eating on one hand and shivering in the dark on the other, she was frozen stiff .
Ou Ming seemed to sense something . He tightened his grip on Yu Lili's arm . "Where's my ice cream?" he asked .

"It's so cold out! Why on earth are you having ice cream? It was freezing my hand off, so I threw it away . " Yu Lili told a bald-faced lie as she continued spooning the ice cream into her mouth .
He couldn't see anyway . And, he hadn't paid for it . Yu Lili did not feel an ounce of guilt about lying to the blind man . What Yu Lili hadn't noticed was that while she was speaking, a smile had flashed on Ou Ming's face momentarily .
"Liar," he said .
"It's true!" Yu Lili restrained the magnitude of her actions a little and let her hand fall . "Why on earth would you want ice cream on such a cold day? It's your own fault for not holding it on your own . Too bad that it got thrown away . "
"Liar . " Ou Ming repeated the word . He reached out and felt for Yu Lili's palm .

Yu Lili quickly threw the spoon into the ice cream bowl and allowed him to feel her hand . She didn't feel any guilt whatsoever . Contrarily, she said in annoyance, "I already said it isn't with me! Are you accusing me of eating it?"
Ou Ming almost smiled as he replied, "You're capable of that . "
"I'm not!" Yu Lili exclaimed .
"Yes, you are," Ou Ming said .
Yu Lili glared at him and gave him a push . "You're saying that I'm lying to a blind man? Am I that unconscionable?" As she spoke, she instinctively hid the ice cream behind her back . "Believe whatever you want . Get lost!"

Ou Ming smiled but quickly rearranged his features to his original expression . He lamented, "I've never experienced what it's like to have ice cream after a meal before . "
That used to be Yu Lili's habit, but it had changed slowly over time . When she heard Ou Ming say that, her guilty conscience suddenly reared its head .
But, then again, so what? The blind man wanted someone to serve him . Does that mean I have to feed him his ice-cream? Only in his dreams!
With a harrumph, Yu Lili pettily took another big mouthful of ice cream . When she turned around and saw the regret and sadness on Ou Ming's face, she felt even better about herself .
He deserves it!
Yu Lili took the blind man back to the five-star hotel they had gone to previously . She passed his identity card over to the receptionist and requested, "One single room, please . "
"I already said that if you're not staying with me, then I'm not staying here . " Ou Ming repeated the statement that he had said umpteen times before . "I can't see anything on my own . I'm afraid . "
When Ou Ming said that, his voice carried a hint of resentment . Taken out of context and heard by outsiders, it sounded very much as if Yu Lili was abandoning him .
A dark cloud loomed in Yu Lili's mind . She fished her identity card out as well as said, "I'll stay too . Please give me a king room . "
"Sure," the receptionist bit back her laughter . She smile at Ou Ming and then at Yu Lili .
After they had checked in and paid the bill, Yu Lili took the blind man to the room . Ou Ming held on tightly to her arm . It was as if he was frightened she would run off .
