Lu Yi Feng sighed and said, "You will be surprised when you know the real reason!"Feng Xiao Qing shook her head. "I don"t think so... The most surprising thing would be the fact that you are a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t... Other than that, I guess that must be a pretty normal reason," she said indifferently.
Lu Yi Feng, "..."
Would they still be talking about the m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t matter again after this? He already told her that he wasn"t one but it seemed like she didn"t believe in him.
"Then, you can make a guess... See if you can guess it right!" Lu Yi Feng was in a good mood despite his painful cheeks, so he decided to play around with her first. He wanted to see whether she could guess it right.
Feng Xiao Qing furrowed her eyebrows. "You didn"t want to confirm something, but you did that because you felt guilty about Xiao Xi Xi!" She tried to make a guess --- in her eyes, he was really that good and believed that he was following the Bible"s guide.
Lu Yi Feng, "..."
Lu Yi Feng honestly didn"t know how to refute --- the answer was actually no, but if he said no... didn"t it mean that he wasn"t feeling guilty?! Feng Xiao Qing was really clever at trapping him.
"Well... that is part of the reasons, but honestly, I really want to confirm something..." Lu Yi Feng gave a diplomatic answer. He rolled his eyes inwardly and thought to himself, "Do you really think that I like to be slapped?" However, he didn"t say it out loud.
Feng Xiao Qing shook her head. "Then... I don"t know... I couldn"t think of anything..." She had racked her brain but couldn"t find a feasible reason. Then, she looked at him sweetly with her watery eyes, "Just tell me, please!"
Lu Yi Feng sighed. "Have you ever noticed that I never directly touched you before this?"
"En..." Feng Xiao Qing answered. "I thought that you didn"t like me... until today..." She smiled sweetly at him because she was feeling happy as well.
"It"s not because of that..." Lu Yi Feng honestly answered. He wanted to quickly tell her the truth but it was kind of hard to him. After all, he had been trying to keep this as a secret forever and Lu Yi Feng still couldn"t believe in how lucky he was --- he was finally cured all of a sudden!
He kept thinking that this might be only a dream, but the slap proved otherwise. This was real!
Feng Xiao Qing saw the struggle in his expression and started to realize that he was being serious. Was this really an important matter? Because of that, she started to get serious as well.
"Then... what is the reason?" Feng Xiao Qing asked curiously.
Lu Yi Feng sighed. "I don"t know since when but somehow I started to have an allergy when I was around ten years old..." He started his story with an intro. He frowned while struggling to say his confession.
Feng Xiao Qing tried to ease the tense atmosphere by joking, "Don"t tell me that you are allergic to women?" That was an unheard disease and that was the reason why she took it as a joke.
Lu Yi Feng looked at her with a dumbfounded look. "Huh? How do you know?" He asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
When she heard that, Feng Xiao Qing was the one who was surprised! She blinked a few times before she finally could say something, "Really? Allergic to women?"
Somehow... she didn"t believe it. There were so many reasons but he chose the most uncommon one.
"How...?!" Feng Xiao Qing asked.
Lu Yi Feng shook his head sadly. "It"s still hard for me to talk about the past..."
Feng Xiao Qing understood the feelings too well --- there were some of her pasts that were also hard to tell to others, so she didn"t push an answer from him. She merely said, "Take your time! I will wait for you to be ready and listen to you, so you don"t have to be in a hurry." Then, she hesitantly added, "I won"t ask any question so I won"t put you in a hard spot."
Lu Yi Feng sighed in relief when he heard that and he felt grateful towards her understanding gesture. "No... it"s fine to ask a question, but maybe... there are a few things that I couldn"t answer you --- at least for now."
Feng Xiao Qing nodded her head.
"I can"t touch women... once I touched a woman, my whole body would appear red dots which were quite itchy and after that, I had trouble breathing and if I was late when eating the medicine, the worst outcome was I stopped breathing altogether," Lu Yi Feng admitted.
"But... But... we have kissed once! So how come you were fine at that time?" Feng Xiao Qing remembered something and asked him.
"Because at that time, I drank the medicine beforehand and I was surprised as well why the allergy didn"t act up... My doctor told me to try touching you without drinking the medicine beforehand, but... I admitted that I was too afraid to try..." Lu Yi Feng said with a sad smile.
Eh? Trying to touch her?
When she heard that, Feng Xiao Qing was blus.h.i.+ng shyly. She understood what he was afraid of. He wanted to take their relations.h.i.+p to the next level, but if he failed to touch her... wouldn"t it mean that his hope would vanish?
She sighed. Why didn"t he trust her? She wasn"t a fickle person and wouldn"t mind his shortage --- besides, it wasn"t his fault in the first place. But just like him... didn"t she afraid to tell him her dreadful past with Lu Ming Cheng? So, how could she blame him?
She couldn"t.
Both of them had emotional scars from the past and it made them more emphatic towards each other...
"So... if I didn"t slap you... you still wouldn"t dare to touch me, right?" Feng Xiao Qing asked with a wicked smile.
