Chapter 329: Burnt Envelope-II

"But you did." he assured caressing her head to stare at how her eyes which bubbles up tears now looked back at him with a confused eyes, her brows furrowed wondering and ask,

"When?"

"The time when you turned back the time it may have been accidental but it was your will that have triggered the taboo magic. I'm sure no one not even fate had expected that. I'm here, Xiao Yun. You're not alone." his words sounded like a feather but it weigh a ton to the heart.

She slide her hand and cupped his cheeks, a hiccup escape from her mouth. "You just know the right words for me."

"I've often been told as a man with little to no words. But if my words if perfect for you, it's a blessing." he pulled his smile wide that made her heart all filled with warmth. "Your tears aren't stopping."

"It is going to stop. I didn't want to cry but..." she trailed letting him to fill the rest of her words to pull her arm up toward her face, brushing to her eyes she wiped her tears hurriedly when Wang Li Lei had took her hands pinning it to the side, he lifted his face and sat up to bring her body follow his suit.

"I'm just feeling a little too emotional, I don't know why." she whispered.

"I know. Don't rub your eyes." he said and gently pushed her lashes tp the corner of her eyes which turned down. "It will ruin your beautiful face if it gets swollen."

"Will you not love me anymore if I look ugly?" she puffed her cheeks her eyes staying at the collar of his black shirt which had two of its button opened to show the wide plane of his chest. Her eyes then darted away, looking at his face.

"Will I? Don't you remember how your make up looks when you had just entered high school? And I still love you nevertheless of your appearance."

"Did I look that bad?" she chuckled, her tears finally taking to a stop.

"Do I have to be honest?" this had her brows furrowed. She knew her make up was the worse at the time, with lipstick as red as chili, eyeliner filled around her eyes like a panda, and red color powdered thickly all over her face, but if it was possible that she could turn back time long before, she would have done that so Wang Li Lei wouldn't see the worse part of her.

"You were not honest before?" her eyes concentrated on his expression but what she found was his wide smile.

"I was." he laughing which took her a while until to realize he was once again teasing her. "Don't worry you don't look bad. There had been a question to me all the time, why did you put such a makeup?"

She knew he had some faint idea about her reason but she had never told him and it was her words that he needed. Xiao Yun looked at him before she shifted her gaze to the wall.

There was a faint smile when she spoke, "You know that my parents are very lenient towards me don't you? It's just that some times I feel lonely, seeing my brother was always looked closely I often feel like the odd one out. To attract their attention, I thought of doing things that could make them look at me too and perhaps scold me harshly for once. But they never did."

She breathed out a large exhale, cupping her cheeks, "I was just childish at the times thinking that I'm all alone and want my parents to look at me properly. Now that I think about it, that time must have been just my rebellious phase that made me unable to see clearly. Because it isn't that they didn't look at me, it was just that I had my own bubbling emotions at the time."

"It must have because they loved you too much that they were not able to scold you." Wang Li Lei replied. "My parents once told me they wanted to scold me but when they just looked at my face they were not able to."

Xiao Yun inclined her chin, lifting her brows, "Have you ever done anything that could have you scolded by your parents?" She just can't see Wang Li Lei doing something naughty which made him to be reprimanded by his parents.

Her gaze caught how he had brought his head up and down, which made her curious. "What did you do?"

"I tried to make a robot which could clean."

She cocked her head to her shoulder, "Isn't that a good thing? It was commendable and praiseworthy for a child to create a robot."

"It was but I didn't try it first before performing. The robot was around the height of a small vase," nodded Xiao Yun and he continued, "then the robot moved all around the house, knocking the table, chair, drawers, and in the end it destroyed everything like a crashed ship."

Xiao Yun laughed, her expression looked at him both baffled and funny. "What did your mother and father did then?"

"My father praised me before my mother scolded the two of us both." it made Xiao Yun to laugh even more, she tried to stop her laughter but the more she imagined his father and him scolded by his mother made it hard for her to keep down.

"Your parents sounds like a very interesting people." she then kept a thought and spoke, "Next time let's go and visit their graves."

"Okay." he replied rubbing her head and saw how her expression had brightened up. "Do you feel better now?" he saw her nodding.

"I want to use the gem tonight. I want to see everything." she then held his hand pulling him closer, "Will you stay beside me?"

"I have wanted to requested that if you hadn't asked me." standing up from the bed, her bought her to stand up from the bed, "You should take a bath, you've been in the rain for a long time, I don't want you to get sick from the cold. I will call Yue to bring you a glass of milk too."

"Thank you." she smiled to stepped out when he took her waist.

"I will tell other to bring your clothes to my room, you could use my bath tub." His voice were low when he mentioned the bathtub, a certain emotion flickered on his eyes that made her to recall their last visit to the bathroom together in his room that made blood rush to her head.
