72 GOING TO B CITY PART 7 (2/2)
Xue Lin's eyes were still closed. She replied, ”Easily, you are looking at my left cheek… and now my lips… hey!” Her eyes flew open and her grey eyes glared at him. She covered her virgin red lips with the comforter. Her eyes were burning in anger as she gazed at him in the dark.
”!!!” Ge Chen was startled. 'Did I just see her eyes glowing?' He could swear that he saw grey lights glow in her eyes just for a moment. The sky was clear and there was no thunder, he couldn't mistake it. He quickly regained his composure and said harmlessly, ”I was just testing. Your whole body is covered and I couldn't look at anywhere else.”
Xue Lin couldn't believe him at all. ”You could look at my forehead, nose, head, left ear, left temple, and even the strands of my hair.” Her eyes became even more suspicious.
”I cannot see well at night. Everything is so dark.” Ge Chen sounded pitiful. He lied without hesitation.
Xue Lin's heart softened a bit but she was still careful. ”Alright, go to sleep.” At that moment, she couldn't see the flaw in his words. He said it was too dark to see her forehead and hair. If that's so, how did he manage to see her lips? She was too tired to realize it.
”Alright, sweet dreams.” Ge Chen coolly said. Xue Lin said nothing after that. She completely covered her head to toe with the comforter. It looked like a giant cocoon.
He was thinking while looking at the ceiling, 'It's a good thing that she is cautious about her surroundings. She won't face danger easily and can avoid dangers too. But it's no good when she is around me.' He realized that it could be a serious problem in their married life.
'We have time. Let's take this thing slowly. However, I wonder if I can win her over if I'm too slow.' He pondered deeply about it before closing his eyes. It had been a long day. He was tired.
The next day, Xue Lin opened her eyes with black eyebags. She successfully turned into a panda mama. She didn't have a wink of sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she felt like she was sleeping beside a predator. No matter how tired she was, she couldn't sleep nor she could move. She was facing him when he slept and she stayed like that whole night.
Her eyes landed on the other side of the bed and her heart dropped. 'Who is this guy?' She quickly got up. Her heart was racing. It took her whole five seconds to understand that he was her husband. She relaxed her body and sighed deeply. She also started sweating in tension.
”What was his name again? Ah, it's Chen. I have to get used to it.' Xue Lin had a hard time memorizing people's names and faces. Her memory's so bad that she would forget her own face if she didn't see her face in the mirror every day. She recited Ge Chen's name fifty times like a ritual as usual before getting off the bed. Reciting his name became her habit.
