Sara wasn"t paying attention to the both of them. All she wanted right now was a good sleep.
Muchen wasn"t feeling that way though. He glared at Minde who gave him a cheeky grin in return. Muchen tried to use signs to ask Minde to leave but Minde shook his head and pouted.
"What kind of devil is this?" Muchen wondered.
Sara looked at Muchen who was "sick". She caused him this. If only he had not followed her that night. She was actually worried that his health was not improving.
"Mr Li, My dad sends his greeting. We do not know the type of food you like so we prepared something nutritious that would aid your recovery" She said.
"Tsk, see her acting all innocent" Minde thought as he looked at her.
"Thank you, Send my greeting to him when you get back" Muchen replied weakly.
Minde couldn"t help but admire his brother"s acting skills.
Sara was thankful he didn"t ask why she texted him a different address. It was good to have a boss who knew his place.
"I wish you a quick recovery. I"ll leave now then" She bowed.
What? leave now? That was all? Muchen looked at Minde.
Minde stood up abruptly. "You can"t leave now!"
Sara who already turned to leave,turned back to look at him.
When he saw her face, he s.h.i.+vered lightly. What was he thinking raising his voice at Lucifer?
"You..you should help him eat and wait till he"s done. what... what if something happens to his stomach when he"s eating? you have to call the doctor" He stuttered.
Muchen almost laughed when he heard his brother. Was he for him or against him? Minde was one confused lad.
"But you are here with him" Sara answered.
"I...I was just on my way out." He said and hurriedly head towards the door. "Besides, you have to return the pack" With that, he stylishly winked at Muchen and left the room.
Muchen slowly sat up and looked at her. "She looks so tired" He said to himself.
Sara wondered why he was looking at her, then she remembered she was still with the food pack. She had even been taking it with her when leaving earlier.
Muchen looked at Sara who had already fallen asleep on the couch beside him. Thankfully, the couch was big enough but her neck was slightly crooked.
He arranged the empty dishes and properly placed it by the side. She had not exaggerated when she said her father was a good cook. He was in fact, a great cook. Muchen had never thought he would be able to enjoy someone else"s meal except his. But he had actually enjoyed Jianjun"s meal.
He crouched down to look at Sara properly and carefully adjusted her head. It was the first time he was touching her like this. That night at the factory, he had held her a couple of times but that atmosphere was different. Here she was, lying next to him. She wasn"t giving him her usual stink eye, she wasn"t conversing in her head. She was just sleeping peacefully.
"Sara w.a.n.g. You should never fall asleep in the presence of other men" He said to her sleeping figure. He couldn"t blame her though. He knew she was really stressed out.
He took his time to study her face. He didn"t mind that he had been crouching down for a long time.
It was the first time he was observing her this closely. He long lashes, pointed nose, scattered brows and rosy lips. She was not putting on an earring. She was looking so simple and yet, so pretty. "Even a pimple looks good on her" He said as a carefully touched a pimple close to her nose. His action caused her to frown.
He chuckled lightly.
Then, she opened her eyes. Merely a squint. And looked at Muchen.
Sara wondered why Mr Li was suddenly appearing in her dream. He looked so healthy and as usual, so handsome. That smile, that dimple. She looked at him for a long time. Why was he smiling at her in her dream? Thank Goodness she was dreaming. She could look all she wanted. Gradually, slowly, she lifted her hand, just like E.T. She used her index finger to touch his dimple.
Muchen was startled by her touch. He had wanted to leave her be when she opened her eyes. He knew she was not conscious but he didn"t want to disturb her, then he noticed she was just staring at him.
"It"s nice" he heard her say groggily.
Finally, he knew one thing in her head. if she was not unconscious, she would have only said so on her mind since she was fond of having series of conversations in her head that he was beginning to worry that in order to get to know her, he had to get into her head.
"I want one too" she said with a pout.
Muchen"s smile got wider. "She"s cute when unconscious" He decided to also play a little with her.
"You don"t need one. You can just keep staring at mine. I don"t mind" Muchen tried to keep his voice as low as possible so he wouldn"t wake her. But his smile still remained.
She closed her eyes and was quiet for a while. Muchen was already giving up. He thought she had already fallen asleep. Then, he heard her say faintly.
"Don"t...smile...at...me"
"Ah! She"s really serious about getting one"
"They say if you kiss someone with a dimple, you"ll have one too. Do you want to kiss me? You might have one also."
She was quiet again for a while before saying
"Really? Someone said..something as lame as tha....?" Her words trailed off.
He noticed she had fallen asleep again. He covered her with a blanket properly and just watched her sleep with a smile.
"I really hope you remember this conversation Sara w.a.n.g "
