Chapter 824 - Exists only for you (2/2)
Every moment of her was worth engraving inside him.
And like this, he will never lose sight of her as long as he follows her footprints.
However, a part of him wishes for her to turn around and see him. To know that he is always behind her.
A light breeze picks up, and he stops moving. It was as if his wish had been heard because his wife suddenly stopped walking.
His heart seemed to have stopped along the way, and he held in his breath without realizing it.
He watches her slowly turn around, and their eyes met like star-crossed lovers finally meeting after years apart.
Yue Ling had been unaware of the man following her. She took a short rest on the rock to recover since her legs were still sore from last night.
Once she felt her strength returned, she decided to head back. She thought about continuing the path she took but not wanting her legs to give up on her halfway. She headed in the direction she came from since it was shorter.
However, having taken only a few steps, she started feeling pain in her legs again.
She turned to see how far the villa was, and that was when the wind picked up.
She cursed inside for not tying her hair and moves the front to the back of her ear. When she didn't see the villa, she also cursed again and clicked her tongue. This meant she still had a long way to go.
And that's when she noticed the man behind her.
She was no doubt taken by surprise when their eyes locked on another.
”Tian?”
She turns to face him and felt she was missing something. Why is he staring so hard at her? Is he angry because she woke up first?
”When did you get here? Why do you sneak up on me without making a sound?”
Lu Tian kept an indifferent expression but inside, he was screaming with happiness.
His wish came true, and his wife finally took notice of him.
”I was doing my usual morning run.”
He clears his throat and walks towards her to close the distance between them.
”Then I saw you.”
He stops a foot away from her and glances at her from head to toe. His lips pursed, and he touches his chin.
”I've been thinking about the note you left. I'm quite impressed.”
Yue Ling furrows her eyebrows with a confused expression.
”What do you mean?”
Lu Tian's indifferent expression replaces with a huge grin.
”You're stamina is quite strong since you're able to walk this far.”
” ...”
Silence filled the air as Yue Ling was struck dumbfounded.
Lu Tian played it coolly by teasing her, but he gave Yue Ling an idea.
She returns his smile with a smile that reached her eyes. She takes his
hand and gently caress the back like it was her most prized possession.
”My stamina is good, but unfortunately, it is not as great as yours.”
She places his palm on her cheek and gazes up at him with puppy eyes.
”You see, I walked so far that I can't go on anymore. Can you share some of your stamina with me and give me a piggyback to the villa?”
Lu Tian didn't think much about her words and chuckles. He moves his hand away and turns his back to her before squatting down.
”Hop on. My stamina exists only for yo.”
Yue ling felt terrible for tricking him, but thinking about her aching body thanks to his stamina, she gets on his back.
”You said it, so don't go back on your words.”
It is only fair that he takes responsibility for last night. She gave an inch by taking charge once, but he took a mile by tossing around for hours.
Oblivious to her thoughts, Lu Tian was thrilled to carry his wife on his back. He once saw a scene like this in the tv dramas his mother and cousin watched. He also heard from the two women that it was a romantic thing to do.
However, unlike his romantic view of their situation, if he knew the real reason why his wife wanted him to carry her, he probably would have thought otherwise.
