Chapter 80 - Bad Day Into Warm One (1/2)
While it was true that Ye Jie had only known Xu Mey for a short time but that short time had brought so many feelings with it that he hadn't experienced in his 8-year relationship with Lu Yuhan. The feelings and emotions that Xu Mey brought to him were indescribable to him.
Just like the feeling he got when he opened the door of the house to walk inside and was greeted by Xu Mey's beaming face. Her hair tied in a high ponytail. A peach cardigan over her white top with her washed up jeans was all she wore. A clean but flushed face making her look adorable and yet appealing.
"You're home!" She said as she moved to take his bag from him. He kept looking at her excited face. It was a very unfamiliar sight yet he wanted it to last forever.
'Why does forever sound too short suddenly?' He frowned to himself as he looked at her placing his bag gently on the coffee table in the living room.
In an instant, a million emotions and feelings overwhelmed him as he took long strides and hugged her slender figure from behind. Xu Mey was stunned for a second but she didn't push him away.
He clasped his hands in front of her as he buried her figure in his embrace. Taking in her lavender scent mixed with a peculiar refreshing scent which he couldn't decipher, he felt at ease. He rested his chin at her shoulder and closed his eyes gently.
"Bad day?" She asked as she raised her hand to touch his cheek.
Ye Jie leaned into her palm letting her soft cold hands bringing a relaxing feeling to him like a breath of fresh cold breeze. He only replied with a, ''En…''
"Need help?" She asked softly as her soft hands caressed his warm cheek.
"Just let me stay like this. It's already a huge help on your part." He answered sincerely.
If it was before, Xu Mey would have thought a million times how could staying like this could help him? But after sleeping in his embrace every night for the past week, she felt her own weariness dissipate. Therefore, she concluded that it must have been the same thing for Ye Jie as well.
They stayed in that position for a long time without realizing how much time had passed. Xu Mey's head was tilted to a side touching his head as her hand was fondling with his cheek even now.
"Freshen up… Let's have dinner together, " Xu Mey offered, making Ye Jie groan lightly as he let her go reluctantly. Xu Mey saw creases between his brows indicating his fatigue. She pinched the space between his brows and ruffled his perfectly trimmed hair. "Go on!" She had to lightly push his back to break his dazed state.
