25. mysterious...

ChunHua woke up with bleary eyes... she held her head because she felt a bit dizzy, but as usual, there was no hangover.

She tried to remember what happened, she had helped TangTang eat that cake, then asked him to do the same and after they had finished about half of it, she had taken that thing and stuffed it into the refrigerator, before coming back to sit beside him.

hm...?

What happened after that?

Ah! Yes...

She had kicked the convertible sofa, and then dozed off...?

Now that she saw again, this place was indeed the main hall and the bed under her was not the usual one plus, she seems to be groping on some tight mass for a while now...

'Fuck!'

ChunHua mechanically turned towards the side; things like this never happened, even though she was not drunk, she clearly acted like one and had hugged the boy to sleep... was she tired or, was it something else? Has she been frustrated?

Well, though she said that with a self-blaming tone, that naughty hand was still groping his abdominal muscles!!

ChunHua finally got to see his face, he was still in deep sleep.

His hair was still silver and somehow matched very well with the panda suit he was wearing, his longs eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow over his face... it seems he had also drunk a lot as his cheeks were a bit flushed, but the dark eyes bags under his eyes could still be seen... he was probably just as tired as her...

Well, let bygones be bygones... if he asks, she can make some sort of excuse and if he doesn't she can still do the same or, simply act as nothing happened.

Thank god the temperature inside was warm or else, she will never forgive herself for this...Little Bun has been sensitive to cold after all!

With soft movements, she got off the sofa turned into a bed and went back to freshen up a bit...

She checked the time...

She was actually shocked, but satisfied at the same time... she had slept for around 6 hours, well, compared to her irregular sleep cycle, it was much better.

Well, it was quite late in the evening and she knew that they will get hungry after a while... knowing that the boy was tired, she simply called for some takeouts...

Fried Chicken was a must for Christmas so, along with that, she ordered for pizza, cheese balls and burgers... indeed, it was not that good for health, but the orders were hand made by some star chefs, they won't compromise on that part plus, she liked them a lot and today was among the only few days, she could eat them considering, she usually had to eat formal lunch and dinner over some meeting.

Anyway, as she waited for her order to come, she sneakily took some candid pics of the sleeping panda...

Thinking about this time, she hoped that every single moment in her life could be like this, with this man by her side and them spending the normal days together... she caressed his face a little and felt him quiver under her touch... as if, some weird switch was turned on, she softly pinched his cheeks and saw him smack his lips, he was probably having some weird dream... she even heard him say that he was full... was it a gourmet dream...?

Anyway, his eyes trembled a little just as she heard the chime again... he was waking up...

She leaned a little towards him as he dazedly opened those misty eyes, " Good evening, sleeping beauty~"

He was still not there and just courteously replied, " Go..od.... eve..ning..."

Ah~ The young panda was indeed cute!

She patted his cheeks as she took something from the table and said, " Sleeping beauty... wake up!"

"Wah!!", YuTang jolted up.

"hehehehehe..... I'll go get the order. You freshen up, dear sleeping beauty~", laughing she ran away towards the door.

YuTang who was attacked by a large cube of ice pushed into his top, "...."

He remembered that moment when ChunHua had pulled his legs up before pressing some key to convert the sofa and how the next moment, she had jumped onto him and dozed off...

He was indeed a bit drunk, but he would never accept such thing, even forgetting himself, he didn't want her to feel guilty about something... but just when he had wanted to carry her up, he froze--

He felt a warm drop fall on his palm... it seems, she was crying... he didn't know the reason again, but watching this person cry, his heart felt very hurt as if, someone was squeezing it with all their might...

A whisper left her mouth, " Li..ttle...Bun.... pl..ea..se... don't... please... don't...le..ave... pl..ease..."

YuTang couldn't leave her alone and decided to stay with her. Once she felt his warmth, she had scooted a bit closer and a small contented smile spread over her lips...

Now that he thought... how can a person be always this bright?

Compared to him, she might be a bit strong, but that didn't mean, she didn't have any weakness... in a way, in the few hours they were together, she had already helped him countless of times... she always had a smile... but compared to that, he had only been depending upon her, even though she says that she will make him earn money for her, in the end, isn't it him, who will gain from this? Wasn't everything just for him?

This person made him feel very warm... but all he had done was 'tag' som characteristic to her one-sidedly without knowing anything about her... just because someone was smiling, did that mean that they were happy?

More times than not...it was to hide their frail heart from getting more hurt... shouldn't he know that better than anyone else?

He gave her a deep look... the sleeping lady's skin was tinged with a red hue, but just like him, she looked a bit haggard... she too must be very tired, but still wanted to take care of him... This person was too good for this world!

It was at this moment, that YuTang decided on something!

Just like this person had helped him at his lowest point.... he will do the same.

He will always be by her side... he wasn't arrogant nor ignorant enough to think that, he could help her, but he will still stay by her side and if possible, he will also help share the burden and will stay by her side when she feels a bit weak... he will always be beside her.

The story of the two, that had paused for over 10 years, the time that had stopped moving forward for them... finally, it finally started moving again.

Indeed, it was just another tale of love... but to them, it will be the story of their life...

...

...

When she came back with the bags, nobody raised the question about the sleeping part and harmoniously enjoyed the food, YuTang liked to have a strict diet, but even he knew to let loose sometimes...

For matter, it seems, the shadow of that woman was really fading from his side...

It was just a day, but it felt like they had spent a very long time with each other... it was indeed mysterious...
