After such a huge mess, everything finally got back in place. Though there was no love in Guang's present relationship, it can always have a chance to bloom. And Lifen was sure that there would soon be an unexpected love, as it was one of the special characteristics of love. It can happen in the most unexpected situation.
She was happy that at the end of the story her friend ended up with a good man not with some jerk like Su Yan, who does not even tell the difference between love and betrayal.
"Leave everyone. Lifen needs some serious rest and with you people around I doubt that it will ever be possible", his straightforward words leave his lips before she could even guess that coming.
Soon everyone left her, asking her to take a good rest. It was one of the instructions given by Deming telling everyone to leave straightforwardly at their face. He didn't care what people would think about him or how insulted they feel.
The reason in his mind was enough for him to hold his head high in righteousness.
"Why do you have to be so mean?" she asked, looking at the man who has just returned after giving a tough time to the doctors. His sleeves were folded high up his elbows, giving a good view of his firm forearms.
He wasn't having his jackets on. The shirt that was on him was making him look all handsome and enticing. Lifen felt her throat dry when he felt his intense eyes looking at her. Why was he looking so hot and handsome all of a sudden? Wasn't he all normal the moment before?
"How did I mean?" he asked her, looking straight into her eyes. He has particularly pulled up this look to entice her and looking at her expressions now he is sure that he has come out all successful.
Earlier looking at her appreciating some other man kissing, gave an unseen wound to her possessive side. He felt an urge to let her know that his kissing skills were far better than anyone else, though it was not needed. Not like she asked.
"Of course you were being mean, when you asked them to leave all of a sudden. They were my friend and you can't be so rude to them", she said with a pout then reverted her eyes that had started burning looking at him getting close to her slowly and slowly.
"Huh that wasn't being mean to me rather I was being very polite to them. If I ever tried being mean with them they would cause their own deaths with their own hands". He said tapping her nose and then taking the chair beside her.
"And above all, your rest is really important for your recovery. I have given them time and opportunity to be beside you. But what did they do coming here? They not only did not let you rest but also made you see shameful things", he said as he took an apple to peel for her.
Huh ! There he again started all that unreasonable stuff!
"Deming can you please stop that? There wasn't anything shameful in that. Haven't wec kissed before? And what about the romantic movies people go out to see. There are plenty of scenes showing the kiss scene. Are you going to stop all those movies from airing?" she asked not to take it anymore.
"I don't think that's a bad idea" he said with an expression of deep thinking. Lifen nearly rolled her eyes, not knowing what more she can say to this overdramatic – possessive – unreasonable man. Though he was acting in this way, making her all irritated yet she was quite like this side of him. He looks so cute when he gets jealous unreasonably.
To make him jealous wasn't any tough for her. Even if she raised her eyes to look at any man for more than 10 continuous seconds, his jealousy would already go to reach its peak. Thinking all this only brought a smile to her.
"What are you smiling at now? I didn't crack any joke" Deming said when he found her zoning out and smiling on her own.
Lifen looked at the man and thought of giving him a hard time too. He has truly made her so embarrassed in front of everyone. So she quickly composed herself according to the script she has prepared in her head.
Making her eyes go dreamy, she quickly added "Huh! I was thinking about Ning Xui Ying. He was so adorable. Guang is really lucky to have got him in his life", she said portraying herself as if she was a fan – girling around the man considering him as some idol.
From the side she took a look at the man who was already losing his composure getting affected by her words. His jaws were already clenched and she was sure that he would have already been cursing the man in his breath.
Just one last push was needed and he will be completely lost. She was sure of it. So she didn't wait any long and gave the last blow to the drama she has created on a whim. "Uff the way he presents his feelings and words. I am sure anyone in this world will get touched. Now I know why he has been so popular in his school. It must not be just his looks but also his skills that can touch anyone's heart. I was so touc ….." before she could even complete her words she was scooped up onto the man's lap without any notice.
And before she could register anything a pair of forceful lips crashed hers, making her know what she has brought onto herself.
The kiss wasn't any plain one which has simply come out of some jealousy. There was a type of urgency in it. The kiss that was letting her know the deep anxious feelings of his heart. Letting her remind the topic she has almost forgotten. The topic that was yet to be discussed with him.
"Umm Deming … It's okay … umm I am sorry I should not have … teased you", she tried to voice out in between the kiss trying his best to complete her words but the man was simply not giving her any chance.
Lifen would have tried her strength to stop him but she was really helpless because of that weird drug effects still lingering in her body. Not able to feel her limbs, how could she use them on him.
So at the end she could only surrender to him.
When he was all satisfied, he finally let her go. Their breaths were a little heavy giving the evidence of the short passionate moment they had just encountered.
"Little Cat, don't you dare tease me like that again. I might lose my control in the worst way and would not be able to control any soon. At that time, you won't be able to blame me", he said as he looked at the woman who was still on his lap.
Lifen did not know how to reply to his words, so she simply nodded her head. She had hardly expected that she would be one taking the blow of her own teasing.
Trying her best to get normal soon, she tried to get down from his lap, but she couldn't. His hold on her was very firm that wasn't allowing her to move even a bit from her place.
"Please, stay like this for some time", he requested in a very soft and humble voice. The voice he rarely used and if used then it's been only with her.
She nodded and stayed still. That voice would simply let her ignore him. "Deming, I … about the past …"
"Shhh … you don't have to say anything. I understand what you felt wasn't wrong. It was me who has given you a hard time when I promised you that I would find you. There wasn't any of your fault. So don't say anything. Just let me remember you like this", he said as he back – hugged tighter.
Lifen obeyed and didn't say anything. She can feel him rejoicing in the present. How could she not understand what he was feeling inside?
"I am really sorry! Sorry for not recognizing you! Sorry for giving you so much pain and trouble!" he apologized, closing his eyes in grief.
She can feel the depression and disappointment in his words. She cannot see him like this. So to console him with her best, she placed her lips softly over both of his closed eyes, one by one as she added, "Don't be sorry. I never resented you. I like the way we are now. There is no need to go and look at pain in the past. We can always enjoy our present"
Deming looked into her eyes for quite some time. Confirming her words to be quite genuine, he gave some thought to it and after everything was sure, he said "Fine, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the future. Come, let's go and get married!"
