Searching For You

Chapter 217

The cheers made Yu Sha"s body temperature rise a few degrees. Her face instantly turned redder than red roses while her mind screamed, what stunt is he pulling? Wh… what… is he planning? Is he joking or for real? His confessions created chaos in her heart, making her heart flutters unable to make sense why she felt moved.

As her mind went crazy of all the possibilities, her order was ready. She grabbed the bag and went out but while on the way out, an older lady spoke loudly. "Must be nice to be loved."

Hue Chi stood right outside the door, smiling ever so brightly at Yu Sha"s reaction, like he took her out tonight to find out what brings him joy.

Yu Sha walked out the door and saw Hue Chi laughing. b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What was he thinking? She landed a punch on his chest and walked past not daring to look at him in the face.

Hue Chi let out a shriek from her punch, it looked like she evolved with each pa.s.sing lifetime. She"s getting more violent towards me.

He followed her until she sat on a bench along the road. Without looking at him, she ordered, "Let"s eat."

He sat next to her and ate the food that he has never once eaten. He was not sure if he"ll like, but it was the food she eaten so that itself up the points.

Yu Sha, still shaken from the confession earlier, gulped the food in a few bites, then popped the water bottle open and downed the entire bottle. She let out a sigh, "Wait here. I"ll be back."

And ran into a convenient store. After a few minutes, she came out holding a liquor bottle.

Hue Chi saw Yu Sha intended to down the whole bottle, he puts the food aside and got up to take the bottle away. "Don"t drink the whole bottle."

Yu Sha scooted away from him and downed half the bottle before Hue Chi grabbed hold of the bottle.

She went back to the bench and sat down exhaling a big breath. "I"m such a mess."

"Why are you such a mess?"

Why is the root cause of my mess asking me why? Yu Sha glared at him until she saw the bottle and reached for it only to be stopped.

She snickered, "Oh, just let me have some of that. I need some liquor courage." She wanted some liqour courage so she could face him and asked about the confession in the fast food joint. She wanted to know if that was a true confession or he was just playing.

"Liquor courage?"

Yu Sha s.n.a.t.c.hed the bottle away and took a few more gulps almost cleaning the bottle up before Hue Chi confiscated the bottle from her.

He raised his hand and a black car stopped in front. He lifted Yu Sha and put her in the car. Less than 5 minutes later, they arrived back at Ether.

Yu Sha shouted, "Oh… I"m in the mood for bar hopping. Why are we back?" The alcohol was kicking in as she was being very expressive and aggressive.

The driver was PengXu, raised an eye at Hue Chi who shook his head to imply, they"re not going to the bar.


Hue Chi carried Yu Sha via the back route and took the back elevator to the penthouse.

"I"m sorry, I don"t know why I"m being complicated." Yu Sha apologized.

"I know. You are always being a genuine bother. Let"s get some airs out in the balcony." He led Yu Sha by the hand and lifted her up to sit on the high stool by the high round table.

The moon was almost full but the breeze was calm. They said, before the full moon, people are usually honest as the moon controls people"s emotions.

Hue Chi parted a strand of hairs from Yu Sha"s face and gently coaxed, "I"m sorry if what I did earlier distress you." He was referring the to incident at the fast food joint.

Yu Sha at this point, is feeling the affect of the alcohol narrowed her eyes confusedly at Hue Chi, "Have we met before?"

Startled, unsure of how to answer. "Why do you ask?"

She sighed, "Just a feeling. I keep have fleeting feelings."

He gazes at her endearingly at a lost of what to say next, his fingertips gently parted her hairs again, observing her facial features, her expressions, the souls that portrayed through her eyes.

"You must think I"m crazy huh?" Yu Sha asked after Hue Chi didn"t answer her.

In a soft low gently tone he replied, "I"ve not once thought you are."

"Have we met before?" Yu Sha asked again.

Unsure how to answer, he asked, "What do you think?"

On his face, she ran her fingertips from one place after another like a blinded person studying the features of the person she loves. "Somewhere in my heart, I feel like I"ve known you."

In his mind, he asked, is this the current you or the past you talking?

She gazed at Hue Chi"s eyes like looking through a window to his soul, "Why do I feel miserable? Why do I feel restless? Why does your presence affect me so much?" A tear dropped from her eyes.
