Chapter 4：beautiful stars (2/2)
”No.....no need! I only...”
”I told you to put it on!”
”But you...”
”Do you want to get off here?”
He faintly knitted his eyebrows and Ye Ruwei saw that he was at the end of his patience, quickly shook her head.
”No.....I certainly do not want to get off here!”
”Then put it on!”
Mu Zheng impatiently stared at the front of the windscreen, feeling disgusted at his weakness.
His hand clenched into a fist, his heart wanted to dispel his abnormal feelings.
His hands that normally held guns to kill actually took off his coat for a woman. When did he become a man of such great compassion?
”Get off!”
”Ah?”
”There is a taxi at the back driving towards us. You can take the taxi down the mountain!”
When Ye Ruwei heard his words, she turned around and looked at the rear. A car was traveling towards them and a bright red sign 'for hire' was on the roof the car which was quite conspicuous in the dark night.
She did not know why she suddenly felt at a loss and before she could say anything, Mu Zheng had got down from the car. He stood in the middle of the road and waved at the taxi to stop.
He went over to the driver's side and spoke to the driver. The driver looked at Ye Ruwei and then nodded his head.
Mu Zheng walked back to Ye Ruwei's side, coldly said. ”I have spoken with the driver and you can go to the taxi!”
”But...”
She bit her lower lip, pushed the door opened, got off and looked at him again. He still looked indifferent, without the slightest intention of letting her stay. Even if she was thick-skinned, she would be too embarrassed to stay behind.
She bit her soft lips, lowered her head and walked slowly towards the yellow taxi that was waiting for her.
After she got into the taxi, she was going to turn around to thank Mu Zheng and say goodbye but he had already got into his car, speeding past her.
On the way down the mountain, she had been thinking of a question.
She.....was she really annoying? Why did he refuse to spend even a minute with her?
Throughout the journey, the driver had been very quiet then suddenly he asked.
”Miss...is that man your boyfriend?”
”Him? No....no! We're just...friends”
Are they friends? Ye Ruwei was skeptical.
”Fortunately” The taxi driver grinned and smilingly said. ”I was thinking that it would be a pity if such a beautiful and delicate girl like you, to have such a ferocious man like him as a boyfriend”
”Miss, you don't know how fierce he was just now. The moment he came over, he asked for my name, my car number and also threaten me that if I don't send you home safely, he would skin me alive and nail my skin on the wall as fresco. I knew he was not joking! Do you know how terrible his eyes looked when he stared at me? My hands and feet were limp. What does he do?....so scary...”
Once the taxi driver broke his silence, he talked endlessly. Ye Ruwei was able to hear his first few words but was unable to absorb what the driver said after that.
She did not think that he, who had displayed a nonchalant attitude towards her would actually threaten the taxi driver to ensure her safety!
Can this prove that he was at least a little concerned about her?
She looked down at her hands, her emotions were chaotic.
She wanted to see him!
He...will he come again?
”Sister Ye, the male public pool has been cleaned!”
The bathing pool was scrubbed clean and bright by Xiao Jian, brushing the sweat from his forehead.
”Oh, thank you!”
Ye Ruwei answered absently mindedly.
She stood behind the counter, her long glossy black hair naturally flowing down her back, a few strands of soft gentle hair falling on the side of her cheeks, her slender white fingers were continuously tapping on the calculator. Every now and then she would look at the door without losing her concentration on her work.
It was 11 o'clock! It was already so late, he would not be coming, right?
Her mind was in a mess and accidentally pressed the wrong key. Working on her calculation for half a day, all had gone to waste.
Looks like everything had to be recalculated again!
She sighed, turned back to the first page of the accounts book, ready to start all over again.
At this moment, outside the ancient wooden door, two dazzling headlights were gradually coming closer. She looked up and saw a familiar car body. Originally, feeling depressed and with tightened facial features, instantly she relaxed.
He came!
Seeing the familiar figure in a total black outfit, one hand inserted in the pants pocket, walking indifferently into Hongye Hot Springs, she immediately put on a blooming smile.
She had waited for the whole night and finally, he came!
”Mr. Mu, you are here” She ran out from behind the counter and greeted him with a gentle smile.
”En.” Mu Zheng nodded indifferently, grudgingly answered.
”As usual, you need a special personal pool for today?”
”Mm...” Mu Zheng reluctantly gave a monosyllable answer.
”Then.....I'll lead the way”
She picked the key off the wall and led him to the bath that he could find with his eyes closed.
”Thank you for your help that day. My car has been repaired.” She smiled and looked back at him.
”Do not be courteous. It was nothing.” He lightly answered.
”I would like to thank you for your help, so the next time, please come a bit earlier. I would like to treat you to our Hongye Hot Springs signature dish of kaiseki...”
”No need!” His defensive instinct had always been very strong. Never eat or drink outside food. Besides, he felt that he did not help in any way.
”Ah?” His refusal was too straightforward and she could not help but felt embarrassed.
Her poor embarrassed expression made him a little apologetic, his rebuff had been extremely cold.
In order to erase that uncomfortable and hurt expression on her face, he blurted out. ”I will not eat but stargazing is not a problem!”
”Stargazing?” She opened her eyes wide and was astonished.
”Yes, look at the stars!” He angrily growled and wanted to bite his own tongue.
What was the matter with him? Why was he trying to coax a woman? God knows he had never spoken to any woman nor dated anyone!
Just as he was thinking to withdraw his words, she excitedly nodded.
”Okay! I know there is a place where you can see the beautiful stars. We can go together.”
Suddenly she felt shy and her cheeks flushed a bright red. This was the first time she had this kind of excited feeling in her heart.
In the past, there were suitors who pursued her but she had always refused with the excuse that she was busy with her studies. Why did she immediately agree in front of this cold and indifferent man?
Could it be....she likes him?
Without looking at her, Mu Zheng knew that her face was flushed red, presumably, her whole body was red too, right?
He could not help but smile. His long eyes took in her whole graceful figure, a pair of condensed eyes gradually grew hot.
He was indifferent but he was also a man. A normal young and strong man with normal desires, would occasionally also need a woman to release his desires.
He coldly smiled at the bottom of his heart, telling himself, why not?
In the past, the women his Lord had gifted him, he had never touched. But now it was the pleasant and shy her...he did not mind making an exception.
”I'll wait for you at the door.” He said.
”Okay.”
Ye Ruwei had thought he would regret and did not think he was really willing to go with her to see the stars.
”The stars there are really beautiful. You will not regret it.”
When she was a child, her father often took her and her brother to that place to see the stars. She was deeply impressed with that place where she had seen the most brilliant and beautiful night sky.
”I believe so.” Mu Zheng muttered to himself.
He believed she had enough enthusiasm to meet his hot desires.
