Chapter 226 - 227: I Can’t Focus If You Continue The Kiss

Xiao Yun took her eyes off the box, opening the letter to search for a clue to open the box with the help of Wang Li Lei. "They said to open it we need code. So, I think to open this we need to see some clues from the letter or perhaps the anonymous doesn't give us any clues. But staying positive is the best way-"

CLACK, CRACK, CLACK, CLACK.

Xiao Yun heard four times loud clacking and cracking for her to turn her face in a hurry and saw Wang Li Lei opening the box in ease.

"How," Xiao Yun was lost for words. "How did you do it?" Her eyes sparkled with undying curiosity.

"This way." He spoke before closing the box again with a loud click.

Xiao Yun was puzzled when she saw him closing the box again. "Why are you closing it?"

"You ask me how to open it. It will be easier to show you again." As he spoke, he opened the box with some pushes in between the box that Xiao Yun couldn't find, it would have seem that the button could be seen if two fingers are pressed at the same time in the designated place before it opened once with a loud clack. Wang Li Lei used his three fingers this time to push some other buttons. The box's mechanism wasn't as confusing as the first time Xiao Yun saw it, however, if one doesn't know where the designated positions were, they wouldn't be able to open the box carelessly as the buttons have to be pushed at the same times before it could be open.

Xiao Yun brought her face ahead continuously. "So that's how you do it? But how do you know the here the buttons are?"

"They followed patterns, Braille letters. The rectangular box is a substitute for the six Braille cells." Wang Li Lei gave a simple explanation for Xiao Yun to have an long interested and in awe "Oh!"

"Wait," she paused. "But then how do you know what words they would be using?"

"The person who said this say we need 'Code' to open this. In English letters 'Code' have four letters and Braille code uses English letters, so if we follow the Braille codes of C, O, D, and E the box will open." When he finished his explanation, the box opened at the same time.

When he turned his face to see whether Xiao Yun understood his explanation, with fiery eyes, Xiao Yun abruptly lift her chin, bringing her face forward to him. "Wow! Li Lei you're amazing! So amazing! Woah darling you're amazing! How could you open it with only a few code?! You're a very amazing genius!"

Wang Li Lei felt that from all the praises he received, the praise from Xiao Yun brought a different feeling to him, warmth like a sun. It was only a simple thing yet the simple things were what made Xiao Yun amazed, surprised, and delighted. These parts of her was something But at the moment, he could feel her delicate breaths brushing his eyelashes, the sweet scent of flowers wafting from her body grew heavier.

Due to how amazed Xiao Yun was by his explanation, she subconsciously grew her face closer and to him it was a somewhat endearing invitation. He moved forward, bringing her head for a light kiss on her lips before going to a deeper one. "Wait!" Xiao Yun halted, making the man to stopped his movement but the heat on his eyes didn't stopped.

"Not now." She whispered in a tone that only urged him more.

"Why?" He waited for her reason.

"I can't focus on anything if you continue the kiss." She replied bashfully, having her cheeks up to her fingertips reddened from saying the reason aloud.

He chuckled. "Alright." Yet before he continued he took a light peck at her lips. "That's alright, right?"

"Mhm." Xiao Yun nodded gingerly.

Wang Li Lei took out the thing inside the box attentively, keenly gazing at the jewel to observe what the anonymous sent, finding nothing Xiao Yun asked. "It's only a small jewel?"

It was a blue bright jewel, like a color of the deep surface of ocean but sparkling like the surface of water. Calm reassuring and had a bewitching mystery inside it, as if someone placed a magic to the jewel. "Do you find anything wrong with it?" She asked.

"No." He narrowed his eyes. "Nothing and that's make it even more odd."

"That's true. The person hide their identity to send this, a single jewel in a box that's hard to open without any rhyme or reason, to point out the jewel has nothing strange in it." She murmured. Was her hunch wrong? This was the first time it happened. Xiao Yun was a person who believed her feelings as it had saved her from danger for many times. But this time, she missed.

"For now, I will leave it to Hyun for more inspection to see if there are anything wrong with it." Wang Li Lei stated to receive Xiao Yun's agreement. "I understand."

As they ended their conversation, Xiao Yun arrived at Wang Li Lei's house. Although she didn't come often to Wang Li Lei's house, when she came she felt as though she finally arrived back at her home.

Bringing the grocery she bought earlier, Xiao Yun spoke to Wang Li Lei. "Wait for a moment, okay, Li Lei! I will make you something."

"Mhm." Wang Li Lei replied, seeing Xiao Yun went from the place.

When Xiao Yun arrived at the luxurious yet somewhat empty kitchen, she placed the bags at the kitchen slab and took a bright pink apron that she found in the cabinet. Judging by how clean the apron was, Xiao Yun suspected the apron to be new and unused.

"Perhaps, it's a set?" Xiao Yun murmured as she saw a black apron beside the pink one.

"The aprons had been placed for you and the master, my lady." A woman's voice appeared from behind, taking Xiao Yun's surprised as she jolted from her place.

Seeing how surprised Xiao Yun was, the maid apologizes. "I'm sorry for surprising you my lady, you seem to be questioning something so I merely reply, I apologize if I cross the line."

"Ah, no I was just surprise, you don't have to apologizes." Xiao Yun replied while gazing at the maid.

"Perhaps you have forgot me, my lady?" The maid inclined her head with her expression unchangingly straight expression. She doesn't look cold but she has an expressionless face that looked rather friendly.
