Chapter 134 - Gifts (1/2)

Professor Luo Xia grinned as Zi Yan sanitized blades of various sizes. ”Tian Guo Min will receive our first gift soon. Heh. Even though this is nothing compared to what he's done to our family, it still gives me a second of satisfaction that Karma is coming to bite his ass soon.”

”Killing them is too easy. Making them lose their precious and most prioritized things makes it more exciting. We don't kill, but we never said that we didn't play psychological games.” He smiled as he finished his cup of tea.

In the meantime, Susu brought Chen mu into one of the luxurious condos in the newly built building. Upon their entrance, the fresh scent of clothes took over his senses. He blinked and blinked again when he saw a spacious living room filled with racks of clothes.

”Uhm.. Susu... are you planning to open a boutique? Or did you plan on telling me that you were secretly some buyer in the underground marketplace? I've never seen any of these designs before. Never in your closet...” His head turned left and right as he observed the vibrant colored clothes hanging off of hangers.

”No, silly. These are all my designs that I've never shown to anyone before. I'm not planning to sell any of these babies. Instead, these are my gifts to you.” She spun around the room slowly as her fingers brushed against the outfits.

”Oh! Wait.. wahh?” He scratched his head in confusion.

She skipped over to him and circled her arms around his right arm, ”come, come! There's more. Let me show you around.” Before explaining anything to him, she wanted to explore the entire condo from the living room to the three bedrooms. Of course, she didn't need to show him where the kitchen and bathroom is since the main point was her designs.

After stepping into the third room, his eyes were spinning from seeing so many rainbow colors at once. She hugged his waist and giggled, ”Darling~ Do you like them? They're all one of a kind and one size. All made for you.”

”T..They're unique. Kind of different from your regular style, though. Is there any reason for this?” Rendered speechless by her surprise, he tried to find words to describe what he's feeling at this moment.

”Actually, I was thinking of bringing you here way later on, but I...I'm not sure if I'll get that chance. For all my life, you've known about the designer dream that I had aimed to achieve. No matter what designs I make, I'll always make it suitable for other people's taste. Eventually, I also grew a bit tired of chasing after my dream because in a way...when a hobby becomes something you do for a living, it becomes an obligation.”

Taking a deep breath, she wandered around the condo with her fingers brushing against one piece of clothing to the next as he followed along. ”Then one day, a silly man popped into my world and shone a bright light on me. When I was feeling the most helpless, negative, hopeful, joyful and different kinds of emotions, he stayed by my side like a potato. Just like the magical fairies and Prince Charming's from fairytales, he made me believe in a better tomorrow.”

”Compared to Cinderella, my midnight clock had time out ever since I've met you. Every second that I spent with you felt like it would last forever and this happiness as well. I became greedy; wanting for more. I know that you would say that I deserve it, and it's fine to want more. Still, nothing could escape fate.”

She halted when she found the outfit that she had been looking for and smiled. Carefully taking the pajamas set out, she showed the pajamas with unicorn design paired with kitten slippers. She matched the size of the pajamas to his broad shoulders, ”it's a perfect fit.”

Sensing something was wrong, he frowned slightly and lifted her chin, ”Susu, what's wrong? Why are you showing me all these?”

A layer of mist blurred her vision as she fought the stubborn tears that wanted to escape her eyes. ”You see, ahem, this pajama design was sketched and sent to the manufacture shop the night we hung out with Lily and Lin Que. Remember? We used cosmetics and drew all over your faces. I was very happy that night and the vibrant colors that I used on you reminded me of unicorns and homey kittens. So, I made this.”

She choked on her words as her hands reached to the side for other clothes. ”This one is fuchsia colored with soft spikes on the back and a bunny tail. This was the day that I had a fever and mad migraines. You hopped in and out of the room just like a bunny. The fuchsia color was chosen because of how loved I felt.”

”All of these were inspired by the days that we've spent together...”

”Stop where this is going to. If you're going for the idea of breaking up with me, then don't say anything and listen to me instead.” The pajamas fell to the floor as he wrapped her in his embrace. Even though his voice sounded strict, his arms were trembling slightly.

She reciprocated the hug and rubbed his back, ”What are you talking about? Who wants to break up? I was just about to tell you about my background and what's really been going on with me.”

”Really?” His grip tightened as if letting her loosen from the hug for even a second would mean losing her forever.
