26 You can't replace everything.

Deming was walking, lifting Lifen in his embrace, while Lifen was continuously resisting his grip around her.

"Hey, Let me go. What the hell are you doing? We are at school. Don't you have any conscience?"

Deming looked at her with stiffness in his eyes, "Let you go? Where? To that crazy lover of yours?"

"Crazy? Do you really think anyone can be crazier than you? You are the master of craziness.  No one can surpass you in that. You are such a beast." Lifen said with a resistive expression. 

"Be quiet, Little Cat. Or you will really face the beast inside me." Deming said with a grin on his face.

He took long strides towards the parking lot. Lifen was still resisting in his arms. 

Reaching near his car, Deming bent a little to put Lifen down on her feet. Sensing the action of Deming, Lifen was ready to escape but before she could initiate her plan, she was blocked by Deming's long broad hands.

She was resisting Deming having her back pressed on the door of his car and in her front was Deming blocking her escaping points using his body and hands. 

"Do you really know what your acts can lead to? Your resisting movements are awaking the beast inside me." Deming said by reducing the distance between them.

Lifen was totally blank. 

She still hadn't understood what happens to her when she gets so close to Deming. Her heart starts racing extremely fast and her mind goes blank. She couldn't think straight.

A few moments passed, they were still staring deep into each other's eyes. Suddenly Lifen's phone vibrated, she was about to pick the call but Deming snatched her phone away and switched it off.

"How many times should I remind you Little Cat, you can't take any calls when you are with me." Deming said it as if it was a strict rule which she should follow or else something would turn bad.

"I think you really need a psychiatrist. I don't think you are in your right mind. Give back my phone. I need to make a call."

Lifen jumped to take back the phone but she can't reach the height at which Deming was holding the phone.

She jumped many times but it was of no use. She grabbed Deming's shoulder as support and jumped to get her phone. 

The next moment Deming left the phone in the air and grabbed Lifen by her waist.

Feeling the strong grip on her waist, Lifen was again blank. 

'Crack'

The phone was scattered on the ground in several parts. 

Lifen said with her blank eyes, "What do you think you are doing?"

Deming put her on the ground back gently, "You are asking me? You should ask yourself. What if you got your ankle sprained?"

That was the first time she heard Deming's rough for her but there was concern in his eyes.

Lifen said subconsciously looking into Deming's concerned eyes. "Sorry" 

When she heard what she had uttered just before she rebuked immediately at him, "What? I have just said sorry to you! without any fault. I have got insane. No no, I think your craziness is actually a communicable disease. It is affecting me. Please stay away from me".

Deming got flabbergasted with her reaction and he laughed hard. 

Lifen looked at Deming laughing hard, she could see his genuine shiny eyes which she hadn't noticed before and she was a little attracted to it. 

But the next moment her expression changed, she thought to herself, 'What am I doing? Why am I being affected with his concerned eyes and now his shiny eyes.'

Thinking those things inside her mind, her eyes fell on the broken phone scattered on the ground. 

Her eyes were reddened suddenly and tears fell down her cheeks. When Deming saw the change in her eyes, he followed her eyes and found her phone which was broken.

She bent down to pick her phone up, tears were welling out her eyes continuously. 

"Why are you crying over the phone? I can get you a new phone." Deming said without thinking much.

Lifen gave him a glare listening to his words. She didn't utter any word after that. She tried to walk away but was grabbed again by Deming.

"You really think you can get off so easily."

Lifen looked into Deming's eyes with her teary eyes and Deming left her hand abruptly. Something ached hard in his chest. He couldn't figure out what it was.

"Tell me, why are you crying? It's just a phone, you can easily replace it." Deming said the words as a matter of fact. 

"You can't replace everything. This is the gift I have received from my brother and is the last thing he has left for me." Lifen said in a sobbing voice. 

"You won't understand it. Now if you allow, can I leave?" she stepped without waiting for his reply.

Deming was still at his place but suddenly he walked to Lifen with lightning speed, held her wrist gently, and put her inside his car and went to the driving seat.

"Again! What's your problem?" Lifen rebuked.

"Shhhhh!!" Deming put his finger on Lifen's lips, "Be quiet, let me fix something." Deming started the car and left the campus of Zhang School of Business with Lifen.

Daiyu and Guang were searching for Lifen all over inside the campus. When they suddenly saw Deming's car leaving the campus, they ran behind the car but soon the car was out of their sight. 

"What is with this guy? Where is he taking Lifen?" Guang said with a huff in her voice. 

"What do you think? Should we follow them?" Daiyu asked back.

"According to his personality, I don't think he would harm Lifen. Let's wait for Lifen to return." Guang said looking in the direction where the car went.

In the car, Lifen turned to look at Deming, "Where are we going?"

Deming replied with a smirk on his face. "Your future home."

Lifen was dumbfounded. 

Has she fallen into his trap?
