"Argh..!!" Wang Shi groaned at his brother's over caring behavior for Xiu Mei. He then snapped, "Jianyu, it's just fever… FEVER… I told you she'll be fine. Can you stop being anxious?"
"Exactly…. It's not even a day and big bro you are behaving like how father acts when mom gets sick" Feng Junjie complained under breath, "Wasn't father enough that you also joined his team?"
"Not only Fever… She puked also." Feng Jianyu answered seriously.
Wang Shi "…"
Feng Junjie "…."
As the elevator door opens, Feng Jianyu sprinted towards his office leaving his shocked brothers behind.
"Buu… hu… My fate is really bad. Soon I will be feed with dog food from both dad and big bro." Feng Junjie sniffed and Wang Shi patted his shoulder.
"Aww… I wish a cute woman like Xiu Mei steps into your life soon" Feng Junjie was horrified hearing this and yanked Wang Shi's hand off of his shoulder, "Are you wishing or cursing me?"
Wang Shi laughed and dragged Feng Junjie to his cabin, "Let's go…"
****
In the office, Feng Jianyu headed straight to his office lounge to check on Xiu Mei. Upon finding her sleeping on his bed a smiled crawled on his lips as he heaved a sigh of relief.
But his happiness was short lived and he frowned looking at her sleeping position.
The blanket with which he tucked her properly before leaving was lying on the floor and she had curled herself like a fur ball with her legs folded to her chest.
'Silly girl… Already suffering from high fever yet she kicked the blanket off. Does she want her fever to get worse?' He grumbled at her carelessness.
He went to her and gently turned her on her back and straightened her legs to make her sleep in comfortable sleeping posture. After tugging her securely with a blanket he touched her pale forehead lightly to feel her temperature.
'Hm! Still feverish but not as high as before. That's good'
Probably his hands were cold and caused Xiu Mei to stir in her sleep. But soon her face relaxed and she returns back to deep slumber.
Feng Jianyu smiled looking at her cute red cheeks as he lightly rubbed his knuckles against them. 'My chipmunk', he bends down and gave a long kiss on her forehead. His desire took over him for a second as he trailed his kiss to her eyes, nose, and cheeks and kissed them lovingly one by one.
Next, his gaze fell on her red lips, and he raised his hand to trace the contours of her lips gently. Xiu Mei's warm breath tingled on his fingers. The feeling of the soft touch of her lips like a down pillow* is still lingering on his lips and he wanted to feel it once more.
He licked his dry lips and gulped a mouthful of saliva. 'If I steal a kiss of her lips will she mind? Just a small peck… I won't go deeper.'
As Feng Jianyu bend to kiss her lips, he sighed, 'No Jianyu don't… The feeling won't be same as it will be when she will equally respond to your kiss… Stop… just a little while more'
With great conviction, he stopped himself from kissing her more. He had to back off before he lost his sanity. Taking a few deep breaths he calmed himself down and shut his eyes tightly. He groaned as he pulls himself up from her face.
He definitely desires her. He desires her in every way, not only in a physical manner but in a spiritual way too. He doesn't want to possess her heart but wants to rule over her heart.
This is the first time that something like this is happening to him. This weird feeling is foreign yet it feels good.
He ran his hand in her silky long hair and sighed, 'Mei, what magic do you have? See, you have turned me into a complete crazy man. Does love really turn a person into an idiot? I hope this craziness stops here and doesn't increase anymore while my love for you kept on increasing with every passing day.'
Feng Jianyu just sat there, gazing at her beautiful sleeping face for don't know how long. The light sounds of her breath warmed his heart and helped him to calm himself somewhat. This is the first time he is so close to her and can watch her whole night without being worried that she will snap at him any moment.
After watching her to his heart's content he got up to prepare for the sleep. He went to the wardrobe, pulls out a set of night pajamas and went to the bathroom. After taking bath he went out of the office lounge to dry his wet hair in his office as he doesn't want to disturb her sleep by the sound of the hairdryer.
Feng Jianyu came back inside the office lounge and went to the other side of the bed to lie down beside Xiu Mei. He was getting excited by the thought of sharing a bed with Xiu Mei and wakes up next morning looking at her pretty face. And this time probably she would not jump off of his embrace like she did when they had slept in the car last time.
He lay down on the bed beside Xiu Mei and scooped her in his arms carefully so as not to wake her up. Gently he adjusted her head on his left shoulder, close to his heart and kissed her forehead one last time. He wanted to let her hear his beating heart. A crazy heart that only beats for her….
Xiu Mei flinched for a second but when she smelled the familiar fragrance of Feng Jianyu, her body calmed down on its own. Unconsciously she nuzzled her face against his chest and wrapped her arm around him and mumbled, "mmmm… Jianyu…." This one word from her mouth made Feng Jianyu shiver, goosebumps breaking out all over his body. His heart melted like an ice-cream when she called his name in sleep, making him hug her closer to him.
Taking in her natural scent, he finally closed his tired eyes. Tonight it's going to be the most serene night for both of them, bringing the best sleep. They both were not only stressed out for the last two weeks but have also spent many sleepless nights in the past seven years.
And tonight they are finally together, in each other's arms, feeling satisfied and safe and in love….
The night was black and tranquil, full of shining stars. It was the softness of the moon that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. This night came as a reward of sorts for Xiu Mei and Feng Jianyu, restfulness above to calm their frantic soul.
Before sleeping Feng Jianyu promised himself, he would never leave her again, he would never let anyone harm her again, he would protect her from all evil and he would always love her unconditionally.
Now all that is remained is finding the real culprits behind their ordeal and give them the harshest punishment for separating them from each other.
