8 Leisure

As soon as they exited the building, Wang Feng rode to Oxford Suite, they arrived after about ten minutes, As they walked toward the elevator, Liu Wei instructed Wang Feng to compile the details of the meeting and email it to him. He needed to look through it, and point out adjustments if need be in the next meeting.

After retiring to his room, Liu Wei took a long bath, he loved to soak himself inside a bathtub filled with an almost-hot bubble water, not exactly lukewarm, as hot as 65 degrees, sometimes he would sleep off in the tub. This usually left his skin red and delicate.

After his everlasting bath, he dabbed his skin with a towel and dressed in casual stay-in wear.

He ordered snacks, ate quickly retired to complete his sleep that he was deprived of in the morning.

His nap was cut short by the incessant ringing of his phone. He furrowed his brows as he picked the call.

"Bro, I'm downstair, hurry up, it's seven and you promised me five, don't keep this buddy waiting. " Jin Yue cut the call preventing Liu Wei from rejecting.

Liu Wei lazily stood up and stretched himself, hanging out was good once in a while, his boring life needed help.

He dressed in casual suit and picked his phone and wallet, checked himself in the floor to ceiling mirror, after confirming he was good, he left the room.

"Wow, so handsome, I mean, after all these years of living an humorlessly dry life you are still handsome, nature sure cheats."

Jin Yue remarked when he saw Liu Wei after many months. He opened the driver's car door and sat down while waiting for Jin Yue to take his seat.

"Where are we going? " Liu Wei asked as he sat in the passenger seat.

"A place for fun, your life needs watering before it chokes to death" Jin Yue laughed as Liu Wei glared at him.

They arrived at a resort located in the heart of Los Angeles. The place was quite lively and filled with different people who looked classy and rich. Liu Wei could tell that Jin Yue frequented this place from the way he walked straight to a private room. They were welcomed in by the hotelier.

"Jue Yue, long time no see, and who am I pleased to meet? " The manager asked as he smiled broadly at both of them while extending a hand to Liu Wei.

"Liu Wei, CEO BAI Enterprise" Liu Wei extended his hands to shake him.

"Wow, you're more handsome than the news say" The manager replied while eyeing Liu Wei.

"We would take a seat over there" Jin Yue interrupted and headed for the empty cushion by the open window.

"Yeah, do please. Make yourself comfortable " The manager replied with his gaze still on Liu Wei.

"Oh, my apologies, ha ha, do enjoy yourself" He quickly retreated his hand and apologized while laughing off the awkward situation.

"Your friend is sure strange" Liu Wei commented as he sat opposite Jin Yue who had just ordered some drinks.

"Ha ha, he is homosexual, he had approached me once, but I told him off calmly not getting annoyed, so that's how we became friends. " Jin Yue chuckled slightly and took the drinks from the waiter. He poured them into two glasses and handed Liu Wei a glass.

"So what have you been up-to lately? " Jin Yue asked as he took a sip.

"Nothing much apart from work, and the project at hand which is also work"

Jin Yue laughed hysterically as he took another sip of his wine.

"Liu Wei, I'm wondering, how will you get married?, I mean, you don't have time for yourself not to talk of another person"

"If the time comes, Dad can always arrange a marriage proposal, is not something of a big deal " Liu Wei replied as he stared at the untouched wine inside the glass"

Jin Yue laughed out loud as he looked at the pitiful state of his friend.

"Liu Wei, this got me thinking, do you even know how to 'do' "

"Do what? " Liu Wei asked as he took a sip from his glass.

"Like do you know how to have sex, no, do you even know where to put it.."

Liu Wei spat out the drink in his mouth as he glared at Jue Yue, his face redder than tomato. Jin Yue could't stop himself from laughing, he held his tummy as he laughed heartily.

"But on a more serious note, it maybe that you are very shy that's why you can't go near women and you use your icy expression to chase them away, right, right, now it's making sense "

Jin Yue continued teasing him as he laughed at the angry man .

"I can see you are already tired, I'm going home " Liu Wei made to stand up as Jin Yue held him back.

"No, nay, Buddy, I was just joking, how can any man not know how to do it, such joke. I'm sorry, let's order food, I'm so famished" Jin Yue mocked indirectly as called a waiter and they both have their orders.

They both ate silently, though speaking once in a while, after the meal, Jin Yue arranged to play Pool with Liu Wei.

"So when are you going back to China." Jin Yue asked as played his turn. He was quite good at pool, and he was better than Liu Wei but he sometimes let him win to at least relieve those muscles on his face that were always cringed.

"Tomorrow, first flight.. " Liu Wei replied as he took his turn. "What of you? "

"Me?, in two months time, the project would be completed in two months time. So I'll be in China by then" Jin Yue replied.
