With her face propped on her hand, she kept looking at Jie"s face while his hand kept playing with her long, soft and silky black hair. He loved the touch of her soft hairs on his calloused fingers. He loved the feeling when those long locks slipped through his hand. Most of all, he loved it when she closed her eyes in satisfaction whenever his fingers roamed around in her hair.
She was like a content kitten. She might be wild for the world but under his touch, she was nothing but a cute kitten begging him to snuggle up and never let go.
Xu Mey"s face was flushed red while she was smiling coyly. Words weren"t even needed between them since both were lost in each other"s eyes. Certainly, whoever said eyes can talk wasn"t lying. Xu Mey could even feel Jie"s deep brown eyes caressing her body making each and every cell come alive within her with need.
She felt so hot all of a sudden that she thought his eyes were making love to her in broad daylight. This mere thought made her throat dry. When his fingers that were playing with her hair would occasionally brush against her exposed skin, Xu Mey shuddered in pleasure and something else... Was it need?
Not being able to hold on, Xu Mey lifted her body and inched closer to his lips which looked inviting as if they were pulling her body, her heart, and even her soul. Jie had a sly smirk hooked on his lips but Xu Mey was too dazed to care. Well, at least until...
"Ahem! Ahem!"
That cough seemed to have pulled Xu Mey out of her l.u.s.tful version and she turned her head with such a speed that one might think she got whiplash. It was like someone just drenched her in ice cold water.
Xu Mey saw her best friends standing at the door and each one of them looked awkward. h.e.l.l! She was the most embarra.s.sed one at that time!
Although each of them was pretending like they didn"t see anything, she knew they did. But they couldn"t have read her l.u.s.t filled thoughts, right? That thought calmed her down a bit.
"Can you both not feed me so much dog food early in the morning?" Wu w.a.n.g tried to fix the weird atmosphere in the room. "I don"t even feel the need to eat breakfast anymore."
Xu Mey gaped at them before hiding her face in her hands.
Jie chuckled at her before saying, "Dog food? But I think my baby and I were distributing sweets. Can"t you feel the sweetness still lingering in the air?"
Xu Mey hit her shoulder for speaking nonsense. She felt like digging a hole to jump in. Why was he being so shameless?
"Sweetness? All I taste is sourness. It"s not healthy for me at all." Wu w.a.n.g retorted offhandedly but trying to ease up Xu Mey"s embarra.s.sment. It worked since she just burst out laughing at Wu w.a.n.g"s answer.
"w.a.n.g Ge, who told you to taste the sourness?" Wu w.a.n.g made a face at her but didn"t continue on this.
"We brought breakfast. Thankfully, we managed to send all those old people back home for rest." Wu w.a.n.g added and placed the bento box on the coffee table in the room. "To be honest, their gloomy faces were getting to my positive vibes. It was stressful!"
"w.a.n.g! They were worried and that"s why they looked so gloomy." He Jian warned Wu w.a.n.g sternly.
"Look, Jian, everyone was worried and scared. They didn"t have to think of all the worst possibilities. It really was a mood spoiler seeing them crying and all." Wu w.a.n.g"s words weren"t wrong. Seeing those elders talking about all kinds of possibilities made him scared even more. He was the most positive one but even he was getting affected.
"Ha! Says the guy who was crying all alone in the corner." Hearing Yang Ziyi"s voice Wu w.a.n.g glared at her.
"w.a.n.g Ge, you cried?" Xu Mey asked in disbelief.
"Absolutely not! This blockhead doctor is spouting nonsense." Wu w.a.n.g gave Yang Ziyi a threatening look but she simply brushed it off.
"Be a man. There is nothing to be ashamed of. You were scared... For your little best friend and you cried. What"s there to hide?" Yang Ziyi spoke righteously.
"w.a.n.g Ge, you cried because of me?" Wu w.a.n.g closed his eyes briefly as he cursed inwardly. He opened his eyes to see Xu Mey making her way towards him with a sad face.
"Little Mey, she"s joking. I was worried. I was scared. But I didn"t cry." Wu w.a.n.g was trying to rea.s.sure Xu Mey when Yang Ziyi opened her mouth to say something but Wu w.a.n.g"s cold glare made her stop. She had never seen him looking this furious.
Yang Ziyi was pouting like a kid. What was so wrong with speaking the truth? Was his ego so hurt? She didn"t lie!
But the next scene before her eyes stunned her. He wasn"t lying for his ego. He had his reason... Something more important than his own image or ego.
