Chapter 81 - 81. Vacation III (1/2)
Third person POV
After they finished eating their dinner, the servants came in and cleaned up the table. Hong er found the chance to escape from this awkward silence. She stood up and nervously smiled at Weisheng.
Hong er: ” Th-then, Sheng ge, I will go first.”
Weisheng: ” En, rest early.”
Hong er: ' Eh? He agreed to it easily.'
Weisheng noticed that Hong er was staring at him, he glanced at her and grinned.
Weisheng: ” What?”
Hong er was fl.u.s.tered when Weisheng suddenly looked at her and gave her a teasing grin. Hong er's face got red as she shook her head vigoruously.
Hong er: ” N-no no no no no, I-I will go.”
Hong er quickly ran out from the main hall and went to her room. Meiyun and Huayun chased after Hong er in worry but in their heart they exactly knew why Hong er reacted like this. Hong er plopped down to her bed and buried her face onto the bed, she slammed her head onto the pillow for a few times before she sat up and took a deep breath.
She opened the window beside her bed and looked at the moon, the wind gently brushed her face and swirled around her. Hong er smiled and moved her hand around the wind.
Hong er: ” Xiao feng, can I ask you something?” ( Feng means wind, Xiao means little. So she called the wind as little wind as it was easier to identify them.)
Hong er felt the wind blew up and down on her hand.
Hong er: ” Do you know why my heart beated so fast? It felt like a hundred butterflies fly around your heart.”
Then the wind blew from side to side, Hong er scrunched her eyebrow in confusion.
Hong er: ” Do you think it is normal?”
The wind blew up and down.
Hong er: ” Hhmm, who should I ask?”
The wind swirled around Hong er's hand, Hong er face immediately blushed. She shook her head vigorously.
Hong er: ” No no no, that won't do. I can't ask Sheng ge.”
The wind made a mini tornado and bent the tornado into a question mark.
Hong er: ” Because he is the cause of this weird feeling and he will think weirdly about me if I ask him about that.”
Hong er face saddened, the wind gently brushed her cheeks to comfort her. Hong er giggled as she felt ticklish on her cheeks.
Hong er: ” Hehehe, I'm fine, no need to worry about me.”
On the other side, Weisheng covered his mouth with his hand as he leaned on the wall beside Hong er's window. His ears were red, he tried not to smile but he couldn't hold back his smile after he listened to Hong er's conversation. He noticed that Hong er had been aware of him as a man but since Hong er was only surrounded by family love, she also treated Weisheng as her brother.
But one thing that Weisheng didn't understand was why Hong er suddenly aware of him. He remembered that the first time Hong er blushed around him was the night when he kissed her forehead after he cooked that inedible soup.
Weisheng: ' I had kissed her forehead once before that night but she was asleep. Or maybe she wasn't…'
Weisheng widened his eyes in realization, he had made sure she was asleep before he climbed in to her room. Then he recalled that his mind wasn't in a good condition at that night, he was slightly dazed as he was too shocked by the angry Hong er. He put his finger on his chin while he was in deep thought.
