Chapter 255 - A Warm Dream

"Soak for a while, I'll be waiting for you outside, '' Long Jie said as he tried to stand up. '' Faye doesn't need Uncle Jie. So, Uncle Jie will just go outside. You just want your Uncle Ah-Siyan to take you to your dad, so be it." 

This time he didn't call her "Angel." 

As he was about to stand up, he felt a tug on his shirt. He turned to find Faye stopping him from leaving but he chose to play oblivious. 

How said he couldn't play dumb for the littlest Tang? 

"What happened? Are you feeling cold?"Long Jie furrowed his brow as if he didn't know what she wanted to express. 

Faye's face and eyes were blank as usual but Long Jie could feel pain written on her face. All he wanted was to hug her but he also understood that she needed to express herself. She needed to tell whenever she was in pain. It hurt him to see her in pain but it was the last resort he was left with. 

'Sorry, Angel. But it's important for you. You need to break all the chains that are stopping you from expressing yourself.' 

He looked at her again as she refused to lose her clutch on his shirt and asked," Are you feeling cold, Faye?" 

Faye shook her head. Yes, Faye actually shook her head. 

One point for Long Jie. He grinned inwardly. At least, she said something. 

"You want me to leave?" He asked her. 

She shook her head again. 

'Good good! Feng Siyan, you aren't the only one she talks to! I can talk to my Angel too.' 

"Okay. If you don't want me to leave. Then, tell me, are you angry?" Long Jie questioned her softly as he wiped the wet hair tendrils off her face. She reminded him of Zhenyi in some way. Yes, she reminded him of his Zhenyi. 

Apparently, Faye and his Cat-eyes had the same eye shape which was a very unique feature because Asians usually didn't have such eye shapes. He wondered if they (Faye and Zhenyi) were related somehow. However, hers are green in color and Zhenyi's are a mixture of many. 

"Are you angry, Faye?" Long Jie again asked him in a gentle voice. 

Usually, this kind of gentleness was only reserved for his Cat eyes! 

Faye looked at him with an expression that said she was confused. 

Long Jie sighed. Of course, she didn't know she was angry.

"You don't know what anger is?" He asked her. 

She shook her head. 

"Do you feel like you are losing control over your usual behavior?" 

She nodded her head. 

"You want something so badly but you are not getting it and as a result, you want to break things?" 

She half shook and half nodded her head. 

"You want to express yourself so badly?" 

She again nodded her head. 

"You clench your hands or grind your teeth to stop yourself?" 

She half shook and half nodded her head. 

"These signs mean you are angry, Angel. It's not a bad thing. Getting angry is a way of expressing yourself with your emotions. But at the cost of your health? It's silly. Really, I want to spoil like your Uncle Siyan too, but if your Aunt Zhenyi or even usually nuts Esma got to know that I did something like this. Trust me, they will beat me." 

Realization hit Long Jie like Zhenyi's punch and Esma's unique and innovative curses. 

"You are angry because you can't meet your dad?" Long Jie questioned the little Angel. 

Faye nodded slowly. 

"Why did you not tell me or someone else?" Long Jie softly reprimanded her. 

If she was some other kid, she would have at least lowered her head or cried out, but she was Tang Faye, she looked straight into Long Jie's eye. There was nothing in her eyes except the words 'How would I? I can't talk like you people.' 

However, Long Jie was relieved to see that. Just like his Cat eyes, this Angel loves talking through her eyes. What was the use of words when you could talk through eyes? One just needs to learn this language. 

Like a strict parent, Long Jie spoke," There are thousands of ways to speak without using words, Angel. Words are not reliable all the time. Sometimes, we have to speak through a language that doesn't require words. You could have hugged me, I would have understood your need for your dad. Baby, I don't want you to lose yourself without your voice. Your silence speaks louder. You just have to learn to use it. Are you understanding me?" 

Faye nodded, looking straight into Long Jie's eyes. 

"Now, we will talk to your Dad when our little Angel will learn to control her Anger. Remember, it's not a bad thing, but it turns into something destructive when you let it accumulate deep inside you. It eats you. We will learn how to control anger, Okay?" 

Faye nodded her head. 

Joy hit him when Faye agreed. He just knew who could help him with it. He had the right person in his mind to help Faye. Yet, he didn't know how anger could raise her body temperature. 

"We will be meeting dad soon." Long Jie announced and Faye felt like bursting with happiness, though the expressions on her face were blank. 

He took Faye out of the chilly water which was now hotter than the normal temperature. He wrapped the fluffy bunny in a white towel. He dried her shoulder-length hair with another towel as he tried to avoid using a hairdryer and it actually worked. And Lord knew how his heart warmed at the sight of the cute fluffy princess. 

Later Faye's nanny helped her to change into a new outfit. 

Long Jie blamed himself for not being able to converse with her. It was his fault that the little princes had to suffer so much. Only if he had been more understanding. 

"I'm sorry, Angel," Long Jie whispered as he sing her to sleep. 

And, after a very long time, Faye had a peaceful sleep. She felt as if her father was with her to protect her from all the monsters. He always slays the monsters and this time was no different. 

She dreamt about the mother she had only seen in picture that his father carry in his wallet. She felt that she was experiencing the warmth and tenderness of the mother which she had never experienced before. 

She also saw her father in a dream and as she watched him smiling at her like the sun spreading light and warmth, she whispered," Ru."
