Xiao Yun sat on the edge of the couch gingerly, peeking to the side and saw him staring at her while propelling his head with his arm. "Co nearer." he cooed.
Xiao Yun inched a little slow to decrease the distance between them, but she was still a little far away from him. Seeing the girl was shy, he decided to close the distance by himself, pulling her hand to bring her to his laps and embraced her. Xiao Yun stepped back and felt his hand wrapping on her waist. "Why are you running away from ?" he reflected to his behavior, a little nervous that she was afraid of his anger affected her.
"I'm- I'm not running away from you. I've reflected on my mistakes." She murmured, she turned to a tomato when she understood she was sitting on his laps. The warmth under her tights made her brain stopped working.
"Are you still angry?" she fiddled with her hand and evade his eyes. "I'm sorry, but I was sure I will not fall at that ti, Really! I was sure that I could evade her attack!" she persuaded.
"From now on, you should consult and discuss with before doing anything. No matter how small it is you have to tell don't keep anything hidden from ." He spoke, his eyes softened from the girl's gaze when he knew she didn't fear him in the least.
"Okay!" Xiao Yun vigorously nodded, she took his little finger and link it with hers. "I promise."
He softly stared at her little finger and continued, "Always bring Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan with you."
"Okay."
"And don't get close to those two boys anymore."
"Okay! Eh?-" Xiao Yun agreed before Wang Li Lei finished. "Li Lei, are you still jealous? You don't need to worry, in my eyes, there is no one far more handso than you!" she giggled.
A blossoming feeling budded in his heart and a chuckled faintly escaped from his lips. He brought her face closer to him and wrapped his hand on her waist for him to lean his head on her back. The warmth that she had spread made his heart to calm down. "I always wonder how could I protect you from anyone. From anything that could endanger you."
Xiao Yun had never created troubles, but troubles always love to linger around her and the fact worried him. The only way to protect her would be locking her so way far from other's touch, but her smile would disappear if he does that and it was the last thing that he would want.
"Put your trust in , I don't get hurt often." She replied brightly without knowing what he was thinking. In an instance, the dark thoughts that began to collude him disappeared from her light.
"Mn." He replied.
Rembering sothing Xiao Yun looked up at his face. "Li Lei, I've asked you how did you know that Hydrangea flowers are my favorites, right?"
"Mn." Wang Li Lei confird, busying his hand and eyes on the girl.
"I rembered now, we have t since long before when we were children!"
Xiao Yun's word brought nostalgia to his eyes. Softly he pulled his lips. "You rembered?"
"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded and began to tell their treasured mory. "We t under the tree in Wang Family's house. That ti I fell from the tree and nearly shocked you to death." She laughed, rembering little Li Lei's shocked eyes after seeing a girl falling down out of nowhere.
"You did. At that ti, I thought you were an angel from that fell from the sky." He continued. Since their first eting, Wang Li Lei had fallen for her. The girl didn't know, but when he thought that the girl fell from Heaven, he thought of possible ways that could stop the people above to take her back.
Xiao Yun's face blushed. "Angel? I'm not that pretty." she denied but her smile couldn't stop.
Wang Li Lei was serious with his words. Even at the ti when he was still a powerless child, Xiao Yun was the very living of the word beautiful to him. "Yes, perhaps you are not an angel but that's great. If you were one, I wouldn't know what to do to take you down from heaven. With wings on your back, I'm afraid I will have to trim your wings." he whispered out his feelings.
"You don't have to I will definitely co to you. The handkerchief that you have, is it mine?"
He nodded. "Yes. It was the only thing that saves when I was alone." his words were filled with a sense of solitude and loneliness. Xiao Yun could feel her heart clenched from the feelings depicted in his eyes. She turned her head to touch his cheek, wondering how could he withstand the pain that ca with loneliness alone. There must have been people around him but he still felt alone by himself, thinking that he's in a wide sea of darkness.
"I'm here now." She swore an oath.
He touched her palm back and closed his eyes. "And I'm here too."
"About yesterday. I haven't finished telling you the story. It would be long and it may sound unbelievable but it's the truth." Xiao Yun brought up the past that she tried to hide in her heart. Every ti she breathed out she could feel pain prickling her heart but with the hand over her palm, her heart soothed by the warmth.
"I believe you." He reassured her.
"I have died." Xiao Yun began and felt the grip upon her hand tightened but he didn't say anything, waiting for her to continue. "This is my second life, I have died and that is the future that supposed to happen after another 5 years. I married you for four years but our marriage wasn't the best. I was egoistic in the past and very unstable with my feelings. We would often fight, but it was a one-sided fight. I would be the person who shouted and threw everything while you always keep quite on your own, bearing with the anger that I forcefully push to you.
One day, after we had a horrible fight, I forced you on signing a divorce, and that day I ca to my crush's house only to find him marrying Qu i Xing. I was devastated, my heartfelt painful but it wasn't because I know that he married i Xing, it was because I let you go and made you feel horrible.
Xing Fu Ge- Ge's friend held a marriage party in Korea and he told to go there to relax after crying and drowning in futile sadness every day. I also think that I need a break from everything and pull myself together and agreed to travel to Korea. But I didn't know that it was the worst choice that I could have ever made."
She drew in a mouthful of breath and let out an unstable voice that trembled her hands. "After my arrival in Korea, I t a man nad Choi Yeon Jun."
Wang Li Lei's sharp eyes narrowed to her words. He did say nothing and bear with the painful story that she told, but the raging sea had surpassed its border when she called out Choi Yeon Jun's na. It was a wave of imasurable anger that he never felt before, mixed with hatred and detest.
Xiao Yun continued again. "Choi Yeon Jun was a man that always reminded of you. In our first eting, he needed an urgent drive as his closest subordinate was in a hospital. He asked whether he could co in the sa taxi as . After seeing how shaken he was, I agreed and co with him to the hospital because he was very unstable at that ti.
When he finished his visited to the hospital, he wanted to repay the favor and said that he would want to show him the best places in Korea. I declined but he brightly persuaded and after that day, we have gotten a little closer as a friend.
I thought I could be a little happier after all the ti passed, but my heart couldn't stop blaming myself for leaving you. When I realized I love you, everything was too late. However, since that day, my mory beca blurred. I would often be attacked by mories that I have no recollection for, until one day I fainted from the painful throbbing in my head.
When Xing Fu Ge-Ge ca, he said that the doctor asked whether I have been in an accident but we were sure that I have never been in an accident and denied the doctor's question. Those mories were from the day when I confessed my love to you, our marriage and things that I believe I have never done before. Every mory was the one that I had with you.
I was confused by my own mories and kept on having unending nightmares. Until one day, on the day of the marriage party, I t you again and realized that I have lost almost three years of my own mories. I confessed to you again and we reconciled, but that wasn't the end of everything.
The next day, my parents-" Xiao Yun pursed her lips and gulped. "-they died in a car accident when they have just arrived at Korea, and Xing Fu Ge-Ge was caught because he used drugs. Of course, he didn't use the drug, but in Korea, I couldn't speak or understand their language. I could only cry, cry for my parent's loss and cry for Xing Fu Ge-Ge's imprisonnt."
She was a coward in the past and she hated herself to the core for her powerless self. One would say it's easy to forget the past and wound could be healed by tis but even when the wounds are healed scars still remain and for that scar to disappear it would take more ti. Yet Xiao Yun bites down to her own wound as soon as she was rebirthed, with only a single thing in her mind. That was to protect her beloved and her family so the past would never repeat ever again. Xiao Yun tapped her heart that thudded in fear and tears began to form in her eyes. She wiped it fast and felt Wang Li Lei calming her frightened self with the gentle touch of his hand.
