Chapter 145 - My Silly Baby (1/2)

She once asked her Sensei, ”What happens beyond comfort?”

He answered her, ”Life happens.”

”What if life made me weak?” She asked back then.

The reply came, ”You can only seize the miracles of life when you're pushed to the edge of being weak and you have no other choice left but to fight with all you've left.”

”What if we are so weak that nothing is left to fight with?” She questioned again.

”Then believe. Believe that there is someone, somewhere in this world who wants you to survive. Survive for that person and life will change its meaning for you.” She was answered.

There is always that one person who has the ability to pull you out of your comfort zone. Not being vulnerable was Xu Mey's comfort zone. She didn't want to show her naked soul to anyone. She always had that looming fear that once she bared her soul to someone, that person will destroy her.

Today, she realized what it felt like to explore the magical world outside her comfort zone. It surely was magical for her since she still felt giddy at the thought of it.

She was blushing when she saw her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but scream. ”Ahhhh!”

Ye Jie was immediately alarmed. He ran towards the bathroom door and knocked asking, ”Baby, are you okay? What happened?”

Xu Mey covered her mouth with her hand and cursed herself for screaming like that. She cleared her throat and said, ”I'm fine. Don't worry.” Her voice was like a hamster was squeaking.

Ye Jie surely wasn't convinced by her. ”Are you sure? Why did you scream? Open the door and let me see.”

”Nooo...” She frantically replied. ”I'm really okay. I just lost my balance a bit but thankfully I didn't fall.”

Although Ye Jie was still not very much convinced he didn't probe any further.

Inside the bathroom, Xu Mey looked at all the red marks on her neck, collarbones, and even her shoulder, she was completely at loss for words. These were the red marks she hated seeing on her best friend, Wu Wang.

She shook her head. 'His were lust bites with no feelings involved. Mine are pure, love bites. And there are feelings involved.' She touched a red mark on her neck and softly said, ”Clearly a lot of feelings are involved.”

After the shower, she wore a simple long sleeve formal bow button shirt in maroon color along with black pants. Although the shirt hid her collarbones and shoulders; her neck was still visible which had the reddest marks to give away the exploits of last night. She picked a black chiffon scarf and wrapped it around her neck. It looked kind of weird but she didn't care at all.

When she came downstairs, Ye Jie looked at her scarf and couldn't help but purse his lips to hide his smile. ”Baby, why are you wearing a scarf? It doesn't look good.” He was teasing her and she knew that. She glared at him.

”And whose fault it is that I have to wear a scarf?” She asked with puffed up cheeks.

Ye Jie couldn't hold it anymore and cackle out. He walked closer to her and caressed her cheeks with the back of his hand saying, ”First, there is no need to hide from the world that your husband loves you so much. Second, there are other ways to hide the love bites.”

She frowned and gazed into his brown eyes asking, ”For instance?” Big mistake on her part!

He looked hungrily at her lips and said, ”For instance,” his thumb moved over lips rubbing them slowly. ”We could just stay at home and no one will see those marks that my love left on you.”
