Chapter 427 - A TAD BIT LONGER (2/2)
He turned his gaze to the bracelet that Luo Yan gave him. He also wanted to ask his rabbit to tie it for him. But he suddenly felt shy and embarrassed. It's like the words just became stuck in his throat. No matter how much he wanted to say it, it just wouldn't come out.
It's a good thing that he was often expressionless. Or else, his awkwardness would have already shown on his face.
”Do you want me to also tie the bracelet for you, Brother Ji Yun?” he heard Luo Yan asking as if he had read what's on his mind.
He sharply raised his head. Luo Yan was still smiling sweetly at him. If he wasn't confident with his expressionless face all year round, he might have thought that Luo Yan noticed the entanglement on his face.
”Yes,” he quickly said before Luo Yan could change his mind.
He folded the sleeve of his coat himself and then stretched out his arm towards the other. Luo Yan held his hand and he once again felt the softness of his palm. He picked up the red-string bracelet and then tied it carefully on his wrist.
”There,” Luo Yan said when he finished. ”Now we matched.”
'Matched'. That word greatly affected Shen Ji Yun. That's right. They now matched. It almost as if the red-string of fate was tying them together.
He looked at the red-string bracelet on Luo Yan's wrist and then looked at the on his. He suddenly remembered something he read on the internet. Could this be called a 'couple bracelet'?
He felt his face heating up because of that thought. But more than that, his heart was suddenly filled with sweetness. He only had one thought in his mind – 'ah, it's truly wonderful to be in love'.
”Should we go back?” Luo Yan said. ”I think that waiter was glaring at us because we're not ordering anything,” he added in a joking tone.
Shen Ji Yun nodded. He carefully put the gift-wrapped box of the red-string bracelet into the paper bag and carried it. Of course, he had to preserve this. It was also part of Luo Yan's gift, after all.
They walked out of the restaurant and towards the elevator.
”Brother Ji Yun.”
He turned towards Luo Yan and he suddenly felt a soft body pressing against him, enveloping him with warmth.
”Take care going back to B City.”
Before he realized what was happening, the warm feeling was already gone. And he saw Luo Yan going inside the elevator, waving at him.
”See you at the game!”
When the elevator closed, his could feel his whole face heating up like some molten lava. His rabbit just hugged him!
=====
Thinking about that, Shen Ji Yun was a bit regretful that he didn't react fast enough. If he did, then he could have hugged Luo Yan back. Then, he could soak in that warm feeling for just a tad bit longer.
