Chapter 350 - Reconciliation (1/2)

Yaya stared at him.

“What’s the matter?” Yu Sihan was particularly calm. “Are you hungry?”

“I don’t believe it.” Yaya got out from the other side of the bed.

She did not care that she was wearing her pajamas, which covered her completely from head to toe. Maybe she had no intention of hiding from Yu Sihan, but she did not realize the man could see her going to the bathroom.

He… kept looking at her.

Yu Sihan asked through the bathroom door, “You don’t want to be engaged?”

Yaya brushed her teeth inside and vaguely replied. “I… don’t want to…”

There was no sound outside. When she came out, she found that the man was gone.

Yaya pursed her lips and was a little upset. Before she could recover, she saw Yu Sihan coming in again.

“I did not go away” The man had shoes in his hands and a dress on his arm. “Let’s go out for dinner.”

Yaya took the dress and thought for a moment.

In the past, her food, clothing, housing, and transportation had been taken care of by Yu Sihan. He matched whatever clothes she wore with the hairpins she wore every morning. Because she said she did not like the way the kindergarten teacher combed her hair, Yu Sihan learned the art of fixing hair from someone, and braided her hair for her, every day.

“Come here!”

She looked up and saw the man standing at the dressing table, with a comb in his hand.

“I don’t braid my hair now…” Yaya said bashfully, but she walked to him and sat down.

Yu Sihan touched her hair. “I won’t braid it for you, I will just comb your hair.”

The room was quiet. Yaya looked at the man from the mirror, and saw him combing her hair carefully. He touched her hair carefully, as if he was touching a cherished treasure.

“Can I ask you now?” She felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. She pursed her lips to break the silence.

Yu Sihan put his chin on her head. “Aren’t you hungry? Shall we talk about it when we have a meal?”

Yaya stood up, picked up the dress, and went into the cloakroom. When she came out, Yu Sihan nodded with satisfaction.

“You’re so beautiful, as I thought.”

“You chose the dress, according to my childhood preferences. How do you know I still like it?” Yaya did not know what was wrong with her. She just wanted to provoke him.

Yu Sihan did not mind at all. “Tell me what you like now, and I will remember.”

No matter what she said, he obeyed her and made her as weak as if she was beating on cotton.

Yu Sihan was the quiet type, which was a trait known to people who knew him. Although Yaya was greatly influenced by him, she could also be either lively or quiet.

She did not expect Yu Sihan to choose a very lively Szechuan Restaurant. Even when the door of the private room was closed, she could hear the noises outside.

“You have been eating very light food abroad. We will eat whatever we want, in the future.” Yu Sihan brought her to her seat. The two of them sat close to each other.

Yaya naturally, sat down. It was too late for her to feel as if something was inappropriate.

She was a little annoyed. Yu Sihan knew some of her behavior by instinct. She was used to his closeness and his care. For a while, she could not control her behavior.

“Drink the cubilose first.”

When Yaya was deep in thought, Yu Sihan had taken out a small cup of stewed cubilose from somewhere. He took off the lid, and the cubilose was still steaming.

“When we are engaged, you can move in with me. I took care of you when you were a child. I’ll look after you better than anyone else.” Yu Sihan boasted shamelessly.

Yaya finally prepared herself mentally. She took a sip of the cubilose, and with a serious face asked him, “Tell me why you left eight years ago.”

“Because I was ill. I had to go to and heal my sickness.”

“Why did you keep it from me?”

“Because you were too young at that time. I was afraid it might scare you.”

“What disease is it? Are you getting better now?”

“It is a genetic disease. I’m fine now.”

Yaya did not believe him. “Since you are well now, why do you still have fainting spells?”

“I was in a hurry to see you, so I came back even though I was not completely healed yet,” Yu Sihan smiled and said, “I was cleared half a month ago.”

Yaya poked at the dish that was just served. “You lied to me. You only told me half of the truth.”

“Sometimes, I wish you were not so smart.”

“It’s not because I’m smart.” Yaya looked at him seriously. “In eight years, you did not call and never appeared. But I remember that I always received your gifts on my birthday, Christmas Day and New Year.”

Yu Sihan helped her to get some of the food. “Did you like the gifts?”

“You chose every gift yourself. Those gifts were chosen eight years ago.”

Yaya thought, “This man arranged everything. His illness was premeditated. He knew when he would heal. So, what was he waiting for, in the past eight years?”

“The medicine?”

“Yaya…” Yu Sihan touched her head.

Yaya instinctively wanted to rub against him, like what she used to do in the past, but she realized it and sat down quickly.

She did not know that her behavior was lovely in Yu Sihan’s eyes.

So, the man smiled again. “Yes, I arranged everything, because it would take six to eight years for my people to make a new batch of medicine.”

“What about the old medicine?” Yaya immediately got to the point.

Yu Sihan said, before a moment of silence, “That’s what I don’t want you to know.”

“But I want to know it.” Yaya said firmly, “Otherwise I can’t forgive you for leaving me behind for eight years.”

“I didn’t leave you behind. If I could choose, I would not leave you for a day. But…”
