91 YOU ARE UNFORGETTABLE (2/2)
”I definitely want to continue as an author, but I am not clear about the best way to proceed.” She responded with a thoughtful expression.
Zhong Feng looked at her anxious face.
”Do you want my input?” He asked with a small smile.
Hu Lei nodded.
”I think you should not be in a rush. It's better to take your time and find the best path instead of rushing in due to anxiety. For now, you can just work on what you want. Once you make your decision, you can begin publishing again.”
She felt that the words made sense.
”What if everyone has forgotten me?” She asked in a small voice.
”You are unforgettable.”
Hu Lei knew that he was just comforting her, but she still felt happy and warm. His idea was quite solid. For now, she did not even know how to begin or if she could still write. She should try out a new novel idea or attempt to finish some of her old work. This should help her decide on what to do next.
”You truly deserve to be the number one man in Supreme City. How comes no one has snatched you up yet?” She leaned towards him with a teasing smile.
Zhong Feng felt surprised at her action, but he also was incredibly happy. This was the first time she had shown her roguish flirtatious behaviour before him since she had been back. He stood up and pulled her from her chair and into his arms.
”What do you mean no one has snatched me up yet? Is my wife not in my arms?” He spoke in an equally teasing fashion.
As expected, she blushed until the tips of her ears seemed to burn. She attempted to escape but could not. So, she could only bury her face in his chest and use a small fist to pound his body.
Zhong Feng frowned at how small and frail she felt in his arms. He felt like she was only skin and bones beneath her clothes. He felt incredibly anxious because it seemed like she would fall apart. He breathed in deeply. The previous night he had slept alone in his bed, and he had dreamt again of her disappearance.
He could not bear it. He had walked to her bedroom and lay next to her before sighing in relief. His heart had finally calmed down. Now, he felt anxious about parting from her once again. However, even though he wanted to tie her to his side forever and keep her from the world, he did not want to be another cage for her.
He could not break her wings.
”You will be late for work.” Hu Lei spoke into his chest.
”Mmmh… I will leave in a moment.” He responded, but he did not release her.
After long moments, he finally let her go.
”Be careful. Do not skip meals. If you want to wait up for me, you can just sleep on my bed.” He added a few words before striding out.
Hu Lei looked wistfully at his departing back. She smiled to herself and went back upstairs to prepare for her day. She pretended not to have noticed a certain little mouse who had been watching them for a few moments.
