"Brother, could you please slow down a little. Sitting there for such long hours, I am already not feeling my legs and here, you are making me run like we are in a marathon" Feng Yi Lan said, panting her breath out. "For whom are you running like that? Li Xue is already out of the country. Then what at home is keeping you tempted? Did you get a mistress behind her back?"
Feng Yi Lan said simply, without thinking much of her words. But her fault hit her hard when felt the fearsome blazing glare of her brother. The sharpness was enough to kill her in one strike if his eyes could be used as real daggers instead of virtual ones. She shrieked, taking a few steps back, "Brother, I was just too happy. So, I cracked a joke. There are no hard feelings. Can you please not scare me with your eyes? Though your eyes are charming enough to take anyone's heart. But it is also scary enough to strangle anyone's life away."
Feng Shufen kept his eyes on her for some moment, giving her a warning to never forget in her life and then turned back to search Li Xue. In the darkness and the dense bushy trees, Li Xue was nowhere to be found. He has already searched the spot he has left her but she was not there. His heart was growing anxious already thinking if she was fine or not.
Feng Yi Lan looked at her brother's back. Though she wanted to complain, the warning gaze from earlier was enough for her to stitch her lips shut. She continued to follow him by every step but her patience gave up very soon. Not able to take the torture on her legs anymore she finally asked, "Brother, could you please let me know what rarest treasure are you finding in this forest that even after the search of almost more than 15 minutes, you still are unable to spot it. Ask me, maybe I can come to help."
Feng Shufen did not bother to give any importance to her words. Ignoring her, he continued to look around until he found something familiar shining behind some bushes. His steps fastened in the direction and behind him, Feng Yi Lan could only open and close her mouth like some fish out of water.
Was she just ignored? Didn't her brother say that she has always been her sister in his heart? Then how can he be so ruthlessly mean to her?
Puffing her cheeks kiddishly behind, she stomped her feet after him. "Brother, that's enough! I am not going to take your autocrat-ish attitude anymore. I am your little sister and you need to pamper me accordingly. Now my legs are feeling so weak, come on, give me a piggyback. I won't be able to walk anymore", She said, cautiously walking over the bumpy lane. But she was left wordless when heard her brother.
"You are not a kid anymore!" He simply said before sliding the bush off his way only to reveal a black shiny BMW S1000RR. His eyes finally gave up the worry when found the woman all peacefully resting over the bike. But his brows got furrowed, when found her uncomfortably squirming on the slim seat of the bike.
With just a few strides, he already got near her and in the next moment picked her up in his embrace.
Li Xue was already in a deep sleep. The weariness from the long journey of Florida to Chiboa, not helping her any better. As a result, even when shifted from one position to the other she did not wake up from her sleep. Only scooted more comfortably in his embrace to get better warmth and comfort.
Her one arm went to fist the jacket in her hold while the other went to wrap around his back, making her shift a little more closer to his c.h.e.s.t. Feng Shufen has already gotten used to her all sleeping habits, both in bed and in his arms. Though it has been just a few times, he has come to understand that in her sleep she does not restrict her true self. And for some reasons, he finds her more beautiful and adorable in her sleep.
Feng Yi Lan, who has been watching the change in her brother's attitude all this time no longer knew what more to say. Wasn't his brother so fearsome just a moment ago? And now with a woman in his arms, he looked so warm and considerate that it felt like ferocity had never been in his nature.
"Aye … Brother, why are you carrying Li Xue now? Didn't you reject giving me piggyback? Just wake her up and she can walk on her own. If you don't know, let me tell you, Li Xue and I are the same age, she is just younger than me by 2 months. We were born in the same year of the ox", Feng Yi Lan said, stomping her feet towards her brother.
But the moment she reached him, her steps braked on their own, the moment she felt the man's frozen eyes on herself. Her fingers got lifted up accusingly as she looked at the man and said with the feeling of unjust, "You … you are really mean!"
"Keep your voice down. She is sleeping" The man said in a hissed tone.
And Yi Lan's lips almost curled downwards, while her eyes turned teary. "You are favouring your girlfriend over your younger sister? Don't you feel bad? I am feeling hurt" She complained in a subdued tone with few sobs incorporated between, same as some kid who has come to know that her father has become biased more towards her mother.
Feng Shufen's expression didn't waver even for a second as he said, "Isn't that only right to favour your wife over everyone in the world? Now don't waste time, it's already late. Come along!" He said before carrying Li Xue effortlessly towards the car that had been brought about.
Feng Yi Lan could only stare blankly at her brother's back. Could she have any reasons to retort her Devil brother? In no way!
But just after a few steps, Li Xue's words halted the man in the track. "Jing Wei Jin! You can't take away my sweetheart from me! I will not let you"
The man's expressions turned ashen as his eyes flashed with the remembrance of her words. Was she really dreaming about the bike in her dreams? His eyes turned dark as he continued to take his step forward with a much greater speed than before.
Feng Yi Lan was confused. But her confusion was not a concern at the moment rather it was … She sighed looking at the distant figure of her brother as she gave a helpless urge from behind, "Brother, could you please walk a little slower? I cannot walk as fast as you". But all her requests only went to deaf ears.
Soon they reached the place where the car was parked. But just before they could get inside the car, a Rolls Royce came to stand in front of them, obstructing their way to their car.
