"You like it here?" Jianyu asked as he drove. "Yes. The city is so beautiful," she said looking outside.
A while later, she checked the time and saw that it was noon and she looked at him to ask," Do you think we could stop by somewhere and get some snacks? I'm kinda hungry. "Alright. I will find a place," he replied, his gaze fixated on the road.
When he caught sight of a restaurant, he pulled over and asked," Are we going to eat inside?"
"I don't think so," she replied. "Okay. Tell me what I should get for you." Informing him about what she wanted, he left as she remained seated in the car.
Bored, she got her phone and began playing games. The next moment, she was scared to death when the back door was suddenly opened and someone jumped onto the backseat.
She felt her heart pounding in her chest as she turned behind to look at the woman who had entered. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me," she told her and continued to say, "I was just running away from the paparazzi and I entered the first car I found. Please forgive me." Li Fei placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath before saying," It's okay. You just... scared me."
"I'm sorry," she apologized again and they caught sight of the paparazzi leaving the restaurant in search for her.
Luckily, the car mirrors were tinted so they couldn't see through. "Life of a celebrity sucks sometimes. You have no privacy at all," she muttered under her breath. "I understand. Are you in the entertainment industry?" asked Li Fei. "Yes. I'm a singer. I just released a new album and reporters are flooding over me everywhere I go."
Li Fei understood her situation because she had ever been there, although not as a singer.
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. I'm called Suyin," said the woman. "I'm Li Fei. Nice to meet you," she said. "Nice to meet you too," she replied and looked outside to see that the paparazzi were still around the restaurant in hopes of seeing her again.
"I think it will be hard for you to get out," said Li Fei. "I think the same too," she replied.
That moment, Jianyu came back with the food and he entered the car. He looked at the back and saw a woman then looked at Li Fei questioningly. "She's hiding from the paparazzi," Li Fei let him know. He looked at the back and she said," I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm Suyin." "It's okay. I'm Yan Jianyu," he said.
"Please drop me somewhere ahead. I will continue from there," she said and he nodded before starting the car.
Stopping somewhere, she came off and thanked as well as apologising to them.
After the tour, the two went back home.
Having been a long day, Li Fei laid in warm water in the bathtub and she leaned her head on the headrest then closed her eyes to relax.
Not long after, she heard the bathroom door open but she felt too lazy to open her eyes. She heard footsteps coming to where she was and they stopped right behind her. She then felt someone's hot breath fall on her neck.
"Who are you?" she whispered but kept her eyes closed.
"Shhh," replied the person and she felt fingers brush her neck and shoulder before trailing downwards. When she felt the fingers brush the tip of her breast underneath the water, she opened her eyes immediately and she saw him. She gasped and said," You?! What are you doing here?!"
Without giving her an answer, he leaned closer to her face and kissed her lips as if to silence her.
Li Fei gasped loudly when she woke up from the short dream she just had. She had fallen asleep in the bathtub and her eyes scanned the whole bathroom. Why was she dreaming about Jin Liwei? And in such a way! She wondered. Her fingers subconsciously traced where his fingers had touched in her dream and it felt so real. She stood up and wrapped a towel around her chest before leaving the bathroom. Going to the front door of the house, she checked whether she had securely locked it and she sighed in relief.
Just that moment, she heard a message pop on her phone and she checked to see," Good night FeiFei." She immediately got dressed and made sure that her bedroom door was securely locked before curling herself in the bed.
The next morning, Jianyu came to inform her that he was going to have a look at his businesses. "Will you be okay?" he asked.
"Yes. Please go ahead." "I don't mind you coming with me," he let her know. "I will be alright," she said and that moment, a delivery man came with flowers again.
"Please sign here Ms Li Fei," he said.
"Who sent them?" asked Jianyu looking at her. "I don't know. I'm receiving them for the third time," she said.
A deep frown settled on his face and he said,"You shouldn't take them if you don't know who sent them." Li Fei looked at them and she thought that he was right but they looked beautiful. "Please take them Ma'am. I don't want to lose my job."
"Tell us who sent them first," Jianyu demanded.
"He didn't reveal his identity." "Well then, take them back," he said and the man looked at Li Fei who didn't say anything. Bowing his head, he left with them but Li Fei's eyes were fixated on them until he disappeared.
In the afternoon, she left the house to take a stroll around the neighborhood. She had hardly passed by a few households when she heard a farmiliar voice calling her from behind.
On turning, she was surprised to see that it was the same artist they met just yesterday.
She smiled at her as she made quick steps to where she was.
