Jie had woken up early in the morning and feeling the warmth of his Xu Mey"s body pressed against his, he felt delighted. It was like early morning turned into suns.h.i.+ne and rainbows. Even the pain in his body was all forgotten.
His gaze held so much adoration and gentleness that one would melt down just by his gaze. He lovingly pushed her hair back from her face and pressed his lips against her head.
Suddenly, his gaze chilled. Looking at the sc.r.a.pes on her tender skin, he had clenched his fists. Images of the accident flashed before his eyes and even his body suddenly emanated chilly aura. If his hunch turned out to be true, he had decided to show that person what he really was.
Having a person like Ru as a best friend if someone actually took him to be a gentle and soft man, then they were definitely delusional. He was only a nice person for the people who mattered to him, for the rest, he could be as ruthless as he wanted to be.
He found his almost broken but still working cellphone by the bedside and was about to dial a number when a message caught his attention. The message was received at 3 in the morning and the sender was Ru. It read:
"Don"t look for me. This young master is going fis.h.i.+ng. I"ll make sure to catch some nice fish for you to roast. Or grill, perhaps?" There was even a winking emoticon added at the end.
Reading the message, Jie"s aura changed again back to the sweet guy that his baby loved. He definitely knew which fish Ru was going to catch. And being caught by her meant someone was doomed for life. The mere thought of it made Jie feel amused. Ah! How he loved the idea of someone playing with fire that his best friend was.
"Why are you smiling so early in the morning? That too all by yourself." Xu Mey"s raspy voice made Jie look at her lovingly.
Dipping his head, he brushed her nose with his own and grinned even more brightly. "I"m smiling because I have my baby right here in my arms. Do you even know how much I love waking up right by your side? Also, the way you tangle up your legs with mine even not caring that I have a plaster on."
Xu Mey gasped as she looked down to see how she had yet again trapped his legs between her own. "Ah-Jie, I"m so sorry! In my sleep, I didn"t even realize that I did it." Xu Mey felt really guilty while Jie felt amused.
"Haiz! My baby is so easy to tease." Jie stifled his laughter and gave her a pained expression. "Aiyoh, I think my leg has gone numb. I can"t even feel it anymore."
"Oh no! What should I do?" Xu Mey panicked.
Jie burst out laughing at her adorable expression. Tapping her head, he said, "Oh, my silly baby is really silly. Your Ah-Jie can never mind you using him as a mattress."
Realizing he was joking earlier, Xu Mey hit his chest. This time he winced in pain. "I"m not falling for it again." Xu Mey retorted and even though he was really hurt, he let her hit him.
After she was done, she placed her head back on his shoulder and mumbled, "How did I get here? I clearly slept on Sensei"s shoulder."
"Where did you sleep?" Jie"s voice sounded a bit furious.
Scratching her head awkwardly, she added, "Ah-Jie, I was talking to Sensei and didn"t realize it when I slept with my head on his shoulder. But it"s not my fault at all. It"s Sensei"s fault for having such a soothing voice. It was like a lullaby."
Seeing the infatuation on her face, Jie felt something stirring inside of his heart. "You are telling me that another man held your body and carried you to this room?" After he had said those words, he felt something was wrong until he realized that she was talking about Ru and Ru was definitely not a male. Sh*t! He was getting jealous of a girl?
If Ru would have been here, she would have definitely jeered him saying, "What"s up with that Alpha Male Possessiveness!" Even at the thought of her, he rolled his eyes inwardly.
"Oh My G.o.d! I just realized it too. It must be Sensei who brought me here." Xu Mey squealed like a schoolgirl or more like a fangirl. A crazy one at that! "He actually carried me princess style. Oh, I"m swooning right now."
"Ah-Jie, don"t be jealous okay?" Xu Mey tried to make him jealous by using reverse psychology. It was a good chance. After all, with someone as handsome and awesome as her Sensei around, anyone would be jealous.
"Don"t worry. I"m not jealous at all." He answered calmly. Xu Mey"s smile faltered.
"Huh? You are not? Do you trust me that much?" Xu Mey blinked her eyes at him.
Pinching her nose, he answered, "I trust you very much." "Moreover, I believe that the best friend of mine can never fall for a girl. There is no harm in you swooning over her. She is the safest person to have a crush on." He kept his thoughts to himself, silently enjoying this whole scenario.
