Chapter 43 - She Is Suffering From Leukemia (1/2)
”You look like a panda,” The man chuckled again.
She swatted away his hand, ”Did you invite me to come here for another fight? If yes, then I'll leave now.”
Her weight was becoming her sore spot lately. Why did he have to poke it like that?
He grabbed her hand firmly, ”Pretend like I didn't say anything.”
She followed his gaze, ”You prepared this?” She did not expect him to do something like that.
The man shook his head seriously, ”The hotel staff did it according to my ideas.''
”What I meant is I was surprised that you will plan something like this,” She smiled at him. She initially thought it was the date night preparation for some other couple.
”Let's have dinner first, shall we?”
Looking at the extravagant spread of dishes before her, she could barely control herself from drooling.
She had had all types of snacks during sightseeing but now that there was dinner in front of her, she was hungry.
But keeping the last thread of self-control in check, she looked at him, ”Fine, I'll eat your food but that doesn't mean I have forgiven you.”
He sighed helplessly, ”Fine.”
She wanted to drink wine but the man didn't let her touch it which made her wonder whether he had put it on the table for just show.
After their dinner, they sat on the large porch swing bed placed in the middle of the terrace. On both their sides, there were cushions and she sat at an appropriate distance from him.
The swing was like a big couch but the only difference was that it was not placed on the floor as it swayed along with their small movements.
The sweet fragrance of orchids lingered in the air drifting around them with the soft breeze of midnight.
Yu Mei asked him to turn off the fairy lights and the place was back to being dark again.
”You don't like light?” He looked at the girl's reflection under the moonlight. She kept gazing at the citylights with so much excitement as if she has never seen them before.
”I don't hate light particularly. But to be honest, I prefer dark nights over the brightest days,” She softly said looking, ”I find solace in the darkness. I don't have anything to pretend about.”
He glanced at her in a daze.
'Are you a vampire? Why do you look so pale?'
'I overworked yesterday. By the way, I might turn out to be a vampire. I do find solace in the darkness just like them,' The distant reply of the girl rang in his mind.
”What are you thinking about?” Yu Mei snapped her fingers in front of his face.
Jun Zixuan shook his head slightly.
”So…what did you want to talk about?” She asked as she dangled her legs off the swing before swaying them back and forth.
