The world was peaceful again, leaving us in our own coc.o.o.n

My fingers were tightly fisted , my palms moist

His fingers rubbed against my palm

“ Girl, I’m sorry!”

“ You don’t need to apologize, you didn’t force me to do anything”

I didnt regret giving myself to him, neither would I ever regret it later

“ I’m sorry.. I should not have broken up with you”. Hi hands encircled my shoulders as he hugged me and buried my face in his shoulder. “ No matter what happens, I will never break up with you. Even if you want to break up, you will be the first one to say so..”

I sensed there was an underlying meaning to his words, and if I hadn’t got it wrong, the reasons were quite complicated

“ It’s done”, I sighed.

“ Can you forgive me?”

“ No!” Complicated or not, how could I give in so easily?

However, my ego was not as important as my happiness, and I hesitated before approching the topic.

“ Unless.. You explain to me why you did it, I cannot see any reason to forgive you.”

“ I can’t say anything”, his expression was so stern that the thought for a long time before he spoke again, “ I can only tell you that that I have no freedom in j.a.pan for the next five years.. Everything I do is subject to someone else’s whims”

“ Is that person your father?”

“ You can say that”

“ Do you have to listen to him”

“ Yes!” His tone was so firm that there was no reason for doubt

“ Why?”

He sighed and said, “ I will tell you later”

He did not tell me the reason. Many years later, I still could not figure out what kind of coercion could deprive a man of his freedom, and force a man like Ye Zhengchen to be at the mercy of someone else

I asked, “ Is he the one who asked you to break up with me?”

“ You can think of it like that”. His answer was deliberately vague

“ Do you want to be with me?”

He laughed and put on a casual tone, “ I have a big crush on you. Even if I die for the sake of beauty, my ghost will still be romantic”

“ You.. while living you indulge in pa.s.sion, as a ghost you still want to be romantic…”

He kissed me and with that, the last of my resistance melted.

Ok ! Because he said he had a big crush on me, this time, I would forgive him!

At the end of the long kiss, he asked me , “ Girl, are you hungry?”

Finally, he asked me a question that was normal.

“ I am starving!” I had not had dinner, and just now , I had exercised so intensely. How could i not be hungry?

“ What do you want to eat? I’ll take you there”

“ What do you want to eat?”

He looked at me with his face all serious, “ I want to eat you !”

His remark made me blush

“ That’s good!”

He helped me organise my clothes and we went home…

Once we were back in the apartment, the fires of our pa.s.sion were rekindled again!

Later, we sat at the window and he hugged my shoulder and we ate from the same bowl.

I had never had such a s.e.xy dinner!

The faint aroma of food and pa.s.sion was still lingering in my room when a trace of the fragrance of roses was added ..

I wore a conservative set of pyjamas when I came out of the bathroom. Ye Zhengchen was still sitting in front of the computer, working on his case report. His thick eyelashes framed his jet black eyes, which were half closed as he thought about something

He had a bath as well and had now changed into a soft cotton shirt and casual pants

As I looked at him – his slightly wet hair, his open collar, the shirt sleeves rolled up his arm, I couldn’t help remember the smooth touch of his skin.

Seeing that he was still working, I walked over and asked, “ Its so late. Are you still busy?”

His eyes continued staring at the screen as he very normally said, “ I will finish soon, You go to bed”

“ And you ?” I meant if I went to sleep, was he going to go back to his own apartment?

He  saved the report and shut the computer. In my mind, I appreciated the fact that he realised it was very late.

But I had never expected what he said next , “ I’ll be  with you!”

d.a.m.n it!

Although we had just indulged in our pa.s.sions, I was still not comfortable with this sudden change

“ No”, my fingers clutched my pyjamas as I whispered

“ Oh!” he nodded, “ then you come with me”

“……” “…”

“Oh!” He picked up a white box from the table and opened it carefully in front of me , “ Do you like it?”

It was a pure white watch with the seagulls logo. The white dial was as thin as onion skin. On the pure steel bracelet, white crystals were embedded. One word was engraved, “ Chen”

I was surprised . My fingertips brushed over the logo and the engraving

This was my dream, a watch that denoted the love we had.

He held my hand as he kissed my wrists. Then his lips moved to my face

…… …

The lights were switched off and there was a thin blanket that covered us.

He hugged me from behind and softly asked, “ Girl, do you like to wear clothes when you sleep?”

“ Yes!” I did not have this habit before and had adapted it only after I had seen him jump across my balcony with ease

“ A playboy lives next door. I feel more secure if I sleep with my clothes on”

He touched my ear softly, “ Let me see how secure you feel..”
Miumiu : So Ye Zhengchen is still not coming clear on the reasons for calling off the relationship earlier. Rest a.s.sured, its not one of the normal tropes – suffering from cancer and all that! I like that Bo Bing has decided to immerse herself in this even though she is not so sure that there is a future. It takes a lot of courage to take things one at a time.
