Chapter 125 Terrified
Luo Xiaolei was so stunned she felt like her brain cells were in chaos!
She didn’t expect Yu Chen to embrace her, and he actually said that he missed her?! This was akin to two thunderbolts hitting her at once!
’He missed ? But he sees every night, right? Did I hear him right?’
Luo Xiaolei was still thinking about whether what she had just heard was real or not when she heard Yu Chen’s voice again, pulling her attention back to him.
"Can you let hold you like this for a while?" he asked and for so reason, his husky voice seed so weak and exhausted that Luo Xiaolei couldn’t bear to push him away even if she wanted to. He was also in his cute panda self so how could she even reject the request of this adorable creature?
"O-of course... a-are you alright? You seem exhausted. Have you been resting well?" she asked. She couldn’t help but feel worried when this man was being like this. She even subconsciously raised her hand and caressed his back gently.
"I’m fine. I just feel like I haven’t seen you for a long ti."
". . ."
Luo Xiaolei was speechless. She didn’t even know how to react. She was caught off guard by Yu Chen’s sudden actions and remarks. ’Huh? F-for a long ti? Big panda, it’s only been three days...’
In truth, even though Luo Xiaolei really had so important matters that she was dealing with lately, she was purposely leaving early to avoid Yu Chen.
Since that night she realized the extent of what she felt for him, she started to feel scared. It was because she could tell that these feelings she had for this big panda was so much stronger that it seed to have surpassed everything that she had felt for anyone else before. The way he caused chaos in her heart with every little thing he did and the way he soothed and cald her soul just by being around her made her feel so lucky, yet terrified.
She couldn’t help but rember Yun Jinhan. She rembered how that man treated her so nicely and doted on her for many years and yet in the end, that sa man whom she thought was the one who loved her the most in this world was the one who killed her.
Luo Xiaolei always knew that her past would never stop haunting her. That was why she was trying her hardest to just keep moving forward despite her fears. She refused to forever be a prisoner of her past and she was aware that the only way for her to conquer her fears was to face everything head on. But it seed like the trauma Yun Jinhan had engraved in her life was too deep that falling in love again still terrified her despite the years that had passed.
When she t Yu Chen, she was wary and careful because at that point, marriage wasn’t the only thing that seed impossible for her – falling in love again also seed to be sothing that she felt would be out of reach for her. She was scared because even though she knew that Yu Chen wasn’t Yun Jinhan, she still couldn’t help but think that one day, once she fell for him, just like that man, he too would change in the end and ruin her once again. If and when that happened, she didn’t know if she could rise up again.
Yet, shockingly, despite all her fears, her heart still beat so wildly every ti Yu Chen did sothing for her no matter how small it was. The way he made her heart flutter, the fact that she was unable to resist him, the way she trusted him and the way she felt secure in his arms despite the short ti she spent with him had started to terrify her.
In the last three days, Luo Xiaolei had been thinking about Yu Chen and she realized just how fast things had changed since the day she t him. She found it very alarming especially when she realized that Yu Chen took less than a month to evoke all these feelings within her when Yun Jinhan spent years trying to gain her trust.
Luo Xiaolei sohow had this gut feeling that the mont she let her guard down; she would fall for him at an alarming rate and there was no turning back.
This scared her to the core because as ti went by, it seed like her feelings towards him just kept escalating by the day, overlapping everything, even her fear.

Ti slowly passed by and Yu Chen finally let go of her.
"I’m heading back to the office." He said as he gazed into her eyes and Luo Xiaolei’s thought was imdiately pulled back to reality.
"Ohh... I... see." She stamred. She was staring at his eyes, which was as srizing as ever.
"I will fetch you from the orphanage tonight." He uttered and Luo Xiaolei quietly nodded.
Yu Chen took a step back and turned his back to her. His fluffy white back appeared into view and Luo Xiaolei’s eyes were drawn towards his two dangling black ears. Sohow, watching his back made Luo Xiaolei smile when suddenly, Yu Chen abruptly turned around again and without a warning, he leaned in on her and kissed her. This ti, it wasn’t on her forehead. He kissed her on the cheek, about two centiters away from her lips.
And then, he was gone.
Luo Xioalei stood there frozen. She blinked three tis as she subconsciously lifted her hand and touched her cheek, her eyes watching Yu Chen’s car disappear from view. Her heart was, again, beating ferociously and she even started to feel her face getting hot.
But the first thing she said once she recovered from Yu Chen’s shocking move was...
"W-wait... he... he didn’t faint?! The big panda didn’t faint?!!" She gasped, her eyes wide in both surprise and disbelief.
