Chapter 130 - Caught In The Act (2/2)

”Somebody's daughter just cannot stay put,” she gritted her teeth and squinted her gaze at Xiaosi. He looked away and pretended not to hear her.

Chyou? Xinyi thought. As she thought about the little girl, she couldn't help but worry about Siying too.

Xinyi lightly tugged Zhiyuan's shirt. ”Zhiyuan... Siying. How will he be now? Without us the whole night...he must be crying…”

Zhiyuan quickly held her hands and smiled. ”Siying is fine, Xinyi. Liang and Ah Cy are there with him, remember? They are there to take care of him.”

Xinyi slowly nodded with his reassurance.

The elder with her granddaughter came to their side. ”It seems you two know each other.”

Xiaosi smiled. ”We know each other very well, isn't that right, Zhi?”

Zhiyuan didn't comment. He ignored him and looked at the elder. ”Elder, is there any way to contact my friends in the camp?”

”Oh don't worry about that! Mia and I will take you four to your campsite. We know this forest very well. Unfortunately, we don't have any phones here,” he pursed his lips.

”That will be a great help too. We will head out once we help you settle your village back to normalcy. You have helped us a lot.”

Xiaosi didn't say anything but he was going to help the villagers too after how they treated Caihong to get better.

As Zhiyuan and Xiaosi left, Xinyi sat beside Caihong. Caihong smiled at her. There was silence for a long time. As she stared at Xiaosi who was easily carrying heavy logs of wood on his shoulder, she said, ”Xinyi.”

”Hm?”

”You remember what Xiaosi had said to you in the hospital that day when he came to meet you?”

Xinyi didn't understand where she was going with this so suddenly. ”Yes.”

Caihong tore her gaze away from him and focused on her. ”What did you think of his words at that time? Do you think he was lying?”

A strong gust of wind fluttered open the window hard that startled Zizi. She frowned and slowly opened her eyes. She yawned and looked around and found that it was an unfamiliar ceiling. Her eyes flew open as she remembered last night.

She jerked her head to the side and saw that she was sleeping in Yunru's arms. His eyes were still shut in deep sleep and his breaths were calm and even. The heavy storm had made the temperature dip by a few degrees, yet she felt warm in his embrace. He had tightly hugged her in his arms.

Ah damn! I totally forgot to head back home!

She clearly remembered how she burst into tears as she confronted Yunru and had then kissed him. The memory made her stiffen.

She touched her lips in a daze and thought how soft and thin his lips were. She was still in disbelief that she initiated to kiss him. What took over her, she didn't know. She kissed him and then she had cried so much feeling hurt for him that her eyelids turned heavy at some point and she fell asleep on his chest.

Ah ah ah! I spent the night with Yunru in his room! We-we slept together!

Her cheeks blushed furiously and she felt heat creep into them. She nervously raised her head and looked at his sleeping face.

Yunru…

She felt mesmerized by his handsome features. In a stupor, she held his cheek and brushed her fingers along it. She knew she was supposed to get up. But she didn't wish to tear herself from his strong arms that had securely held her. She wanted to feel his warmth a little longer.

When she remembered how he cried hard for his girlfriend, she felt an ache in her heart once again. Fury bubbled in her chest for that woman who could so cruelly ignore his feelings like that and more for Yunru who chased after that woman even when she loved someone else.

She buried her face in his chest and clutched her shirt.

”Yunru?”

Zizi stiffened as she heard an elderly man's voice.

Who?

”Yunru, you are at home right?” He called out again.

Wait this voice…

She heard his steps stop near the room's door. The knob twisted and the door opened.

Soo Enlai took a step into Yunru's room and froze upon seeing the scene in front of him. Zizi widened her eyes in shock.

”U-Uncle Soo?” She stammered as she turned pale

Soo Enlai, Xinyi and Yunru's father, looked at her, dumbfounded.

”Han Zizi…”

Absolute silence.

He looked at the sleeping Yunru and then back at her. They laid on the same bed, hugging each other. Realization dawned on him and he hastily said, ”I-I am so sorry! Silly me. I shouldn't have opened the door just like that. I apologize for disturbing you two. Please c-continue…”

He shut the door behind him and quickly left.

Zizi was still too stunned to react to what just transpired.

Uncle Soo. Yunru's father. He saw us together like this...

His last words rang in her ears and her eyes popped out of her sockets as she understood his nuance.

What!!!
