TWO MONTHS
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
Standing at the platform on the second floor, Feifei stared down at the village below.
Darkness is slowly stretching out. Its night.
Again.
It has been two months since Feifei came to this town.
Almost two months without even seeing the shadow of Yuan.
Many times, he wanted to go at Aunt Xuefei's place and just as many times, he also held himself back.
If he goes to Aunt Xuefei's place, he even prepared an act on his mind to "inadvertantly" mention Yuan's name.
He was sure. As long as he mentioned Yuan's name, Aunt Xuefei will certainly tell him anything about Yuan.
Maybe even mention where he is.
But.
What if Yuan is intentionally hiding from him? What if he regretted kissing him and doesn't want to see him again?
Just with this thought, he felt strangled.
He can hardly breathe.
He always convinced himself, many times everyday, to stop thinking about him already.
But the more he forced himself not to think of him, the more he thought of him!
It has been so long and he haven't heard anything from him at all.
Maybe this is Yuan's way of saying he wants to keep his distance from him?
Feifei looked far into the distance. His heart hurt.
Maybe this is for the best?
He doesn't believe he has the courage to face Yuan if he knows he's been lying to him as a woman.
Would Yuan face him with disgust? Hate?
Feifei bit his lip.
He blinked his eyes hard to keep the tears from falling.
But it really hurts him.
He wished his cousin Shen would return here soon.
He wants to go back home.
He wants to escape. Far away from Yuan's shadow.
Can you like someone this fast, this hard?
It's such a short time knowing him.
But meeting him was the best thing that ever happened to him.
The happiest experience he has.
But this same experience also taught him a very painful lesson.
Liking someone is like rainbows and flowers.
But.
It could also be your hell.
Feifei smiled bitterly.
Then he turned his back from the night and walked away.
-----------------------------------------
Today's day of rest is Feifei's once a month privilege. And he will make the most out of this day!
He plans to go to the town market!
The last time he was in town was the day he first came here in this Village. That's two months ago.
He wants to go to the apothecary and buy herbal seeds for cultivation.
He bought a box of dried herbs and some seeds during his journey here. He even paid quite a hefty sum to have it delivered to the village.
Now the soil has already been tilled and prepared, but it's been two months already and there's still no sign of it!
Uncle Wen Qi's Assistant, Yanyan, together with his partner Nan Sheng and her friend Peng Jian, they helped him till the soil in the backyard for planting.
Now he has rows of cabbages, radish, cucumber and tomatoes.
And he can't wait for the box of seeds anymore. So he will buy another set of seeds instead.
-----------------------------------------
Locking the front door, he heard a rustling sound followed by a soft moan on the mountain path.
Keys on hand, Feifei stood frozen.
Is this a case of what they call, tumbling with a man?!
With awakened interest, he was torn between staying as an avid audience or leave. Giving privacy to the lovers.
But he is also itching to know the protagonists of this show!
Gritting his teeth, he decided to leave the couple to their festivities.
When he was about to go down the pathway, he stood frozen again.
Fanfan!
Fanfan came out with wrinkled clothes and a few stuck leaves.
Then a man followed her with a back basket on his hand while dusting his trousers.
Seeing this, what does Feifei not understand?
Instead of avoiding them, Feifei was stuck in disbelief!
Until both lovers also saw him.
The three of them stood frozen while staring at each other.
Feifei cleared his throat awkwardly and decided to pretend he did not see anything.
When he was about to go down the pathway towards the village, Fanfan stopped him.
"Sister."
