Chapter 65 - Advice (1/2)

I gently push Bai Lei away and walk over to the door. I open the door knowing it's Ted. Ted smiles and walks in with a few bags. ”I was already at the store grabbing stuff for him.” I laugh at him and close the door as I say ”Always one step ahead.”

Bai Lei watches the interaction with dark eyes as Ted brings the bags to the table. ”If you need anything else, just let me know. If I can't go, Chase or Nick can go.” I nod and tell him thanks as I send him cash to his phone.

”I'll make you a snack before you go back,” I say walking into the kitchen. I pull out the chocolate pudding packs and whip cream.

Ted looks over to Bai Lei and gives him a polite smile as he asks ”So... how do you like our world so far?” Bai Lei stares at Ted before saying ”I don't.” Ted nervously licks his lips and nods his head as he looks back over to Nova in the kitchen.

Bai Lei moves over and stands in front of Ted, effectively blocking his view of Nova. Ted looks into Bai Lei's dark eyes before looking back to the kitchen with a small smirk. ”You... you like Nova?” Ted asks with a smile.

Bai Lei clenches his jaw but he nods his head once causing Ted's smile to grow. Ted looks back to the kitchen once more before leaning closer to Bai Lei and whispering ”Do you want me to give you a few pointers?” Bai Lei's eyes widen a bit before he nods his head once again.

Ted grabs Bai Lei's arm to lead him over to the living room but he stops short and squeezes his arm in amazement. Ted looks back up to Bai Lei to find him frowning at him so Ted gives him a quick thumbs-up before draging him to the couch.

”Okay, women from this world are very different from the women in your world. Women here are fierce, independent, and capable. They don't need men to survive... but if we can woo them, they will date us!” Bai Lei scrunches up his face in confusion as he says ”Who protects them from danger then? What is date?”

Ted sighs and says ”We have lots of laws and police here to help keep everyone safe so it's really not needed... that and some women are terrifying! If you like a woman then you must woo them in order to date them... if you can successfully date them, you can fall in love and even marry!”

Bai Lei continues to frown in confusion as he says ”Why can't you get married first?” Ted throws his hands up in the air and says ”Do you want to know how to get Nova to like you or do you want to keep questioning everything I'm telling you?”

Bai Lei quickly clears his throat and says ”What must I do?” Ted smiles in triumph as he says ”This is what you have to do....”
