10 CHAPTER 9

"What!?"

Right now, Song Yin was staring at him blankly with her eyes widened and her lips slightly parted, as if he had said the most shocking thing in the world.

The expression on her little face was really funny and adorable in Li Jun's eyes. He pressed his lips and tried not to smile but his amusing eyes completely betrayed him.

In fact, Song Ying was indeed shocked to the core by his question that her brain stopped functioning for several seconds.

'What did he just say? D-did he just asked me to m-move in with him?

He is asking me to live together with him? In the same house? What should...?'

"Yes" Before her brain continued to process, the word came out of her mouth subconsciously.

As soon as she heard her own voice, she finally snapped back from a daze. She was surprised by her own reckless action, but even so she decided to quickly continue.

"I mean... sure! I will live with you. I also think it's a good idea!"

'Yes, living with him at the moment is a good plan. I know nothing about this world. It is better to live with him than live in the hotel alone.'

After thinking like that, she felt relief about her earlier action for agreeing immediately.

Meanwhile, Li Jun was taken aback by her reply. Although he offered her out of concern, he expected that she would refuse him right away. But her answer was beyond his imagination, to the point that he somehow became nervous and excited.

To be honest, when he heard her say yes, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect her to agree just like that.

'So she agreed?

She agreed to stay with me!'

After that, a big smile gradually spread through his lips as he felt pure joy inside his heart.

If listen carefully, his voice was even slightly shaking from the excitement when he began to speak.

"Great, then I will go and work with the discharge procedure. After that, we can go home"

Home.

His heart skipped a beat again after he mentioned that word. This was the first time he felt delighted when speaking of going home. Home has always been just a place to rest for him without any feelings or attachment, but for the first time he felt more than that. At this moment, it turned into something meaningful, something warm.

"Okay, then I will go out now"

Song Ying said nothing and quietly nodded at him.

Waiting until his figure disappeared from the view, Song Ying leaned back on the hospital bed and covered her face with her hands. Suddenly, she uttered a little shriek as she swayed her legs with the excitement.

.................

Right now, Song Ying was sitting in the car and watching outside through the car window. Tall buildings, many cars on the road and crowds of people walking on the busy street. Everything was exactly like her real world.

After seeing enough, she then turned her head slightly to look at the man beside her who was driving. Her eyes slowly shifted from his handsome face to his hands that were holding the steering wheels.

His fingers were long and thin, the veins were slightly popping out as he was gripping the steering wheels.

She wondered how will it feel to hold those hands. But she quickly decided to drop that thought.

Sensing her gaze, the man who was focusing on the road, glanced at her and gave a warm smile.

'Sigh. The more I look at him, the more I find him attractive. Did I make a right choice? Will I be able to live with this gorgeous man in the same house without pouncing on him?'

As she thought, she felt funny but also became nervous at the same time .

'Calm down Song Ying, don't get too nervous. Just think that you are having a sleepover at your friend's house. Yes! A friend's house!'

'But it's your crush that you are going to live with! Friend and crush are completely different.' A small voice inside her suddenly interrupted.

'So what?....How many people in the world get a chance to live with their crush. Perhaps I must be the luckiest bitch alive! Ha!'

She thought as her mood started to improve after fighting with her inner voice.

Afterwards, she returned her attention to the outside with a wide grin on her face.

..........

Li Jun apartment was on the 15th floor. His whole apartment was decorated in the theme of white and gray colours. It was simple yet elegant at the same time. Judging from very few furnitures on the house, Song Ying guessed he might be either a minimalist or he simply doesn't have any interest in decorating his house.

"How long have you been staying here? "

After checking around the apartment, Song Ying asked the question as she sat down on the dining chair.

"Almost 3 years. I used to live with my friends before I moved here." He answered as he poured warm water into the glass and handed to her.

"Wow, I have never lived alone before. Whenever I planned to stay alone, my parents would strongly disagreed, so later I gave up."

She felt nostalgic of those times. Now that she thought about it, she felt grateful that she didn't move out and continued to stay with her parents.

No one knows when they will die and part with their loved ones, so we better cherish every moment and create beautiful memories while we have a chance. Otherwise, we can only regret in the end.

Seeing her deep in thoughts, Li Jun replied with a weak smile.

"Trust me. It is not fun to live alone " His eyes were filled with loneliness as he spoke.

After that, silence occupied between them. For a few minutes, neither of them spoke, both of them just lost in their own thoughts.

Finally, Song Ying attention moved back to reality. She soon changed her topic after realising the depressed atmosphere.

"So, what should we have for lunch?" She said, trying to sound cheerful and licked her lips at the end of the sentence.

Li Jun also smiled dotingly at her cute action and replied, " What do you want to eat ?"

"Hmm, Let me think..."

As they continued to talk, the previous atmosphere slowly disappeared.

............

Song Ying was now in the bed. Her mind was filled with the fact the Li Jun was sleeping beside her room. That thought made her mind and body very exited that she couldn't fall asleep until now, no matter how much she tried. The light fragrant of pillow and the room made her brain more active.

'Is he still awake?....

I wonder, what does his room look like?...

Hmm, this pillow smells so great. His pillow must also smell exactly like mine right?....'

After tossing and turning with messy thoughts for a long time, she gradually calmed down and soon she finally drifted to dreamland.

Meanwhile, on the other room, Li Jun was no better than Song Ying. He had never imagined that one day she would be staying and even sleeping in his house.

To be honest, he loved her presence in his house. Today, he realized that she made his usual cold apartment feel like home, a warm, peaceful and happy home. Knowing that she was sleeping in the next room, he felt excited and nervous for no reason. With those thoughts, he also couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Finally, he decided to work to calm down his mind.

For the whole night, one was working while the other one was sleeping soundly, with just the wall dividing between them.
