-87 Chapter 29: Falling In Love (2/2)

”Make yourselves at home, I am going to clean myself up” Wu Chen talked a bit before he entered his room. Both the girls just waved their hand to indicate that he should go clean himself up.

After showering and changing into a casual s.h.i.+rt and pant, Wu Chen went into the kitchen. NaNa pretended not to see him went to the kitchen. NaNa learned her lesson the last time.

Wu Chen walked slowly to the kitchen. He didn't make any sound so that he would not startle Yi Fei who was busy cooking in the kitchen. Wu Chen stood near the counter while looking at Yi Fei's back.

Yi Fei's fingers were swift when she chopped the vegetable. Today, her hair was up in a ponytail and Wu Chen could see the sweat glistening on her neck. He was tempted to walk over and wipe the sweat for her.

Sometimes, Yi Fei will blow her fringe because it obstructed her sight. Wu Chen remembered that last time, he tucked the hair behind her ears and Yi Fei blushed just because of it. He liked it too. If people knew that he had this kind of interest, they might call him weird. But it was the truth; he did not feel even a slight disgust when he touched her.

The thought made him sad. He was, after all, leaving City L to return to his usual life. At the same time, he wanted to stay in City L but he did not have any reason to stay. He knew that he was attracted to Yi Fei but he was not convinced that he loves her; heart and feeling could be deceitful at times.

He forgot how it feels when he was first in love with Li Wei. He did not remember how he realized his feeling at that time. It has been so long that his heart was not moved. He forgot how to fall in love.

While thinking about his feeling, Yi Fei turned off the stove, turned around and saw Wu Chen stood near the counter. She walked towards the counter, standing against Wu Chen with only the counter separating them.

”Brother, you're here” Yi Fei tried to be cheerful because being sad will make her feel more frustrated. Yi Fei gave a wide smile.

Wu Chen jolted out of his thought and came face-to-face with a smiling Yi Fei. He found himself falling in love after seeing her smiling at him - Falling through time and s.p.a.ce and stars and sky and everything in between. He realized that it was a pretty crazy thing.

A few years later, this was the exact moment that he described to his kids over and over again during bedtime stories of how he fell in love with their mother. His exact words were;

She smiled – and that's when everything in my world changed forever.
