Chapter 68 - In Love
Chapter 68 – In Love
It was already 9o' clock in the morning when Yu Mei woke up. Yawning lazily, she rolled around in the bed for a few minutes before pushing herself out of the bed.
After freshening up and taking a shower, she wore a casual knee-length white dress that hung loosely around her body. As plain as it was, it was the dress she has been wearing almost every day because of the 'pink collection' left by the previous owner.
Yesterday when she was sketching the mechanism of the pendant, she suddenly felt sleepy again. Despite sleeping for 9 hours in the day, she could not keep her eyes open anymore. And she concluded it was also related to her obese body.
As pampered as she was, she was not never as lazy as a pig.
Walking towards the bed, she grabbed her sketchbook and shading pencils from beneath her pillow before putting them inside her suitcase.
Since she did not know how long are they going to stay here, she did not unpack her luggage till now.
'Tap Tap Tap'
She could hear rapid typing sounds coming from the living room.
'Is he still working?' She thought to herself before walking out of the room.
''Why would I have the urge to kiss a girl?"
Yu Mei read out aloud the title of the recent search visible on the laptop.
Jun Zixuan stiffened, hearing her soft voice beside his ear.
He closed the laptop in a flash and turned around to look at the girl whose head was near his shoulder.
While the man was leaning against the arm of the large plush couch, she had her elbows propped upon it as she bent her body lower to look at what thing has made him so absent-minded that he did not notice her presence.
The man could feel her hot breath grazing across the nape of his neck.
As he glanced at he, his gaze lingered on her lips, getting reminded of what happened yesterday.
He shook his head.
"Why do you have dark circles? Are you sick?" She leaned closer to him before putting the back of her palm on his forehead.
Despite the air conditioner, a strange heat spread through his body at her careless actions.
"I am fine," He stood up from the couch, standing at a distance.
"Why would you search for something like that?" She asked folding her arms across her chest. Her dark hair was tied in a voluminous braid, a few strands of her hair framed her round face. Her dark starry eyes glancing at him in doubt.
She was beautiful.
Jun Zixuan averted his gaze almost immediately as the thought crossed his mind. Without replying to her, he walked towards the kitchen.
She trailed after him, "I mean…You don't need to google it. Even I can explain the causes to you."
The man paused for a moment as he glanced at her.
She took it as a hint to continue, "Look. If you have the urge to kiss a girl, it proved that you are a straight man," The corner of his lips twitched while she continued, "First, you are lusting over her sexiness and desirable body which makes you want to kiss her and take things further later. Second…"
She took a brief pause looking at the man who was making omelette while having his ears perked up to take in her words. She raised her hand showing him two fingers, "Second and most possible cause is that you like her. Wanting to kiss her will nothing weird if you have feelings for her…"
"Impossible," His head snapped so fast that she was worried he must have gotten whiplash.
She sighed with a grave look on her face before patting his shoulder, "Replace the like with love….Yes, you are in love."
"You…"
She pointed at the omelette before it could turn into charcoal.
As he brought it onto the plate, she spoke up, "Observation is the first stage of love where the wave of emotions and insanity starts. You notice her for the first time then you suddenly find yourself looking at her more and more, trying to etch her features and personality in your mind. The second stage is denial in which you are residing currently…"
"Enough!" He interrupted her, "That's not true.''
Under accusatory gaze, she waved her hands, "Don't look at me like that. Even though I am your wife, I am fine with you loving someone else. You don't need to deny your love because of our relationship which will be over soon," She patted his shoulder, "You have my full support. Just go for it. Ask me if you need any help to pursue her."
With that, she picked up the plate before walking towards the dining table.
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips, taking a few deep breathes to control the urge to strangle this woman.
After their breakfast, Yu Mei asked him to drop her at the Sunshine Hospital. He asked her if she was not well. Since she had lied to him before, she did not feel the need to change her lies and she went along with the excuse of 'women's issues'.
The man offered her money given that she could not afford a taxi a few days back but she rejected it with a few excuses.
After that, the ride to the hospital was damn uncomfortable as he suddenly went on his silent mode again.
She was the one on period but the man was having mood swings.
But given that her mind was wandering off to her test reports, she did not try to talk to him. He dropped her at the hospital and left while she inhaled a deep breath, bracing herself for what was about to come.
Sunshine Hospital.
"Mei, don't worry it should be fine," Shi Luo continued consoling her.
"Yeah, it should be fine," Yu Mei glanced at the woman who was sweating all over, "But why would the doctor call us here?"
