When Li Fei came back to the room, Jin Liwei was not there and she wondered where he might have gone. Dressing in her pajamas, she went to find him. She found him in the kitchen and he appeared to be preparing something. Coming closer, she saw that they were noodles. "You're hungry?" she asked trying to raise her body so as to sit on the kitchen counter but she failed. It was too high especially the area where he was working from.
"This is for you," he replied. When they were in the bathroom, he heard her stomach growl since she hadn't had dinner.
Seeing that she had failed to reach the counter after several times of trying, he came and carried to make her sit. He placed both hands on either sides of her body to trap her in between. "You're short," he said and she pouted her lips before saying," I'm not short." "Care to explain why you failed to sit here by yourself? You're definitely short," he said. "I'm not short, I'm average. You shouldn't compare to me because you're so tall," she argued. He smiled and continued to tease her," I think you're just short."
"No! I'm not," she continued to say and when her eyes fell onto the cooker she exclaimed," The noodles are burning!"
He hurriedly turned to remove them when she giggled and he realized that she was pulling a prank on him. He turned to look at her with narrowed eyes and she laughed more. He found her rather cute and he wished to always make her laugh like this but it's so unfortunate that he instead made her cry in the past. How he resented himself for that! He shook his head to get rid of such thoughts and leaned to where she was and said," You wanna play?" "Yes. You think you're the only one who can play?" she asked back tilting her head to the side.
A while later, the noodles were ready and he served them on the plate. Tasting them, they were really great and she said," They are delicious. I didn't know you could cook." "They are just noodles. Even a three year old can prepare them," he said as he watched her eat.
"I don't think I can make these good," she remembered the food she had prepared and she sadly added," Jin Liwei, I don't know how to cook."
He chuckled and said," Don't worry. I love you that way." He said and she froze that instant.
Did he realize that he said it? He said that he loved her?! But considering how composed he was, she doubted he realized when he blurted it out. Nevertheless, she was happy that he finally said it.
"Eat your food it's getting cold," he said when he noticed her lost in thoughts. She looked at him and said," Let's eat together." "I'm full." "Please," she begged making puppy eyes and he gave in. After having the noodles, Li Fei insisted on washing the dishes this time as he had cooked. Going to their bedroom, they cuddled as Jin Liwei was telling her about his work until she was taken by sleep and he slept too. In the middle of the night, she woke up and went to use the bathroom. When she came back, she looked at his sleeping face and traced her fingers in it. She wondered if he won't take the engagement news to heart. She just wished he understood.
When she saw him knit his brows, she realized that he was awake and she leaned closer to whisper,"Jin Liwei, I want you right now."
With this, his eyes snapped open and he looked at her to ask," Are you serious about that?" She nodded and he got up to pin her down so that he could take her. Her wish was his command after all. Over the time, she had learnt to be more expressive about her feelings for him and she saw no problem in it after all, he was her man.
In the morning, Li Fei woke up and she saw Jin Liwei sitting on the bed appearing to be doing some work on the laptop. He was already cleaned up and dressed. "What are you doing?" she asked, her voice weak from sleep. He turned to look at her and said," You're awake," and his eyes went back to the laptop. Sitting up, she looked at the clock and saw that it was coming to seven. She got out of the bed and went to stand in front of the dressing mirror completely naked.
Jin Liwei who was going through something important saw this from the corner of his eyes and he immediately turned to look at her. What was she doing? If she was aiming at distracting him then she sure succeeded.
He closed his laptop for he couldn't concentrate on anything when she was like that.
"You sure succeeded in distracting me," he said as he walked to where she was but before he could reach her, she ran and locked herself in the bathroom.
"What is the meaning of that?" he asked as he leaned over the bathroom door. "That was a teaser, Mr Jin Liwei," she said. "You were playing with me. Why don't you open and I show you something?" he tricked her. "I'm not falling for your tricks. Back off gluttonous Jin Liwei," she said as she started bathing. "And whose fault is it?" he asked before leaving the place.
He walked to the kitchen to prepare something quick for the both of them.
Li Fei who left the bathroom thinking that Jin Liwei was still there was surprised when she didn't find him. She quickly dressed up and got her phone which she had switched off since yesterday. She decided to leave it off for she didn't want anything to disturb their precious time.
She was even more surprised to find that he had prepared breakfast for the both of them. How on Earth did she land on such a man?
After the breakfast, the two were laying in the couch watching a movie when Li Fei looked at him and said," Jin Liwei, I need to tell you something really important." He looked at her questioningly and she swallowed. She didn't want to ruin their time but she had to get it off her chest.
