Chapter six : moving part 2

Chapter six : moving part 2

Two hours into unpacking, Sheng Mo Ying is just about to finish, when she hears the doorbell ring.

"Give me a second," Sheng Mo Ying exclaims as she makes her way to the front door. She trips over the invisible barrier on her way, and smashes into the ground.

She hissed as she got back up from the ground, the area of her leg that scarped the floor has spots of blood along with torn skin.

She tries her best to get up, and continue to the door. She opens the door, and Lan Jun Yi walks in.

Lan Jun Yi's eyes immediately lands on her injured leg. "How did you manage to do that?" Sheng Mo Ying feels embarrassed. "It's been two years and you're still a clumsy bunny."

Lan Jun Yi helps Sheng Mo Ying to the couch, then runs to one of the lower cabinets, and pulls out an first aid kit. Then he runs to the bathroom in Sheng Mo Ying's rolm, and comes out with a small damp towel. Finally he make his way to the couch.

"You're very familiar with the apartment," Sheng Mo Ying comment.

"The format of this apartment is exactly like my house, besides I was the one who organized everything. I don't remember where everything is, but first aid kits and towels, I know where they are."

Lan Jun Yi grabs a small plastic chair and sits. He grabs Sheng Mo Ying's leg gently, and begins to clean the area.

Sheng Mo Ying remember the first time she fell in front of Lan Jun Yi. She was wearing a high platform shoe that has 4 inch heel and 3 inch inserts. It turned the 5'2 Sheng Mo Ying into a 5'9 Sheng Mo Ying, and 5'9 Sheng Mo Ying was only 3 inch shorter than Lan Jun Yi.

Sadly, there is a reason why the world stopped Sheng Mo Ying at her 5'2. The amount of times 5'2 Sheng Mo Ying tripped over air in one day is hilariously pathetic, much less adding 7 inches. All, falling for 7 more inches hurts way more than usually. She never dared to wear those shoes again.

But that day, Lan Jun Yi gave her a piggy back ride back to her dorm room, and crotch down to tend to her wound. She remembers telling her friend, Raine Spenser, about it for three whole hours.

Her leg begins to sting as Lan Jun Yi dabs some disinfecting wipe onto her open wound. She tries to pull her leg back due to reflex. "It hurts." She pouts. She has always been a cry baby especially when it comes to pain.

The first time Sheng Mo Ying was on her period, she thanked her parents for giving birth to her, apologize for not being a good daughter, and express the wish to be their daughter in her next life, all because she thought she was about to die...from the pain.

Her parents laughed. They talk about it at every family gathering.

Lan Jun Yi kept Sheng Mo Ying's leg in place without applying too much pressure, fearing that it'll her hurt more.

"You need to be more careful. I can't be with you every time you fall." Lan Jun Yi says. "I can only tend to your wounds after you fall."

Sheng Mo Ying 1 : he's so damn sexy. What did I do to deserve him?

Sheng Mo Ying 2 : did you stepped on dog poop on your way to art class?

Sheng Mo Ying 1 : ....

Sheng Mo Ying 3 : you saved the world and died in your last life, so the God of Fate tied a red string around Lan Jun Yi and your ankle to thank you.

Sheng Mo Ying 2 : so a Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai moment, but with war.

Sheng Mo Ying 3: no, Liang and Zhu ended up in a tragedy. Their reincarnation was Romeo and Juliet.

Sheng Mo Ying 1 : you guys were there the day we met him.... art model. He was our assigned model for art class.

"Momo, what are you thinking about?" Lan Jun Yi asks, pulling her out of her outrageous conversation.

"Nothing, just miss home a little bit." She says. "Oh shoot, I haven't tell my parents that I'm home yet."

Lan Jun Yi chuckles. He watches as she takes her phone out of her pocket and types the message. "Momo."

Sheng Mo Ying looks at Lan Jun Yi. "Yes?"

Lan Jun Yi caress her head, "I know it's hard for you to move all the way to Hai City alone. But I promise that I'll take good care of you, and not break your heart. I want to make a home for you here in Hai City as well. I promise to take you to visit your parents often."

Sheng Mo Ying and Lan Jun Yi ordered some delivery food. Lan Jun Yi didn't want Sheng Mo Ying walking around with an injury.

"After you take a shower, we will apply some more medicine," Lan Jun Yi says.

"Okay."

"I have work tomorrow, from 8-2:30 3:30-5:00. After work, I'll take you out. I've told my friends about you for a while now, and they want to meet you." Lan Jun Yi says, "if it makes you feel less nervous, you can bring Ling Yi Shan, she is out of town for a case at her law firm, she'll be back by 3 tomorrow."

Sheng Mo Ying nods, and listens to Lan Jun Yi quietly as she ate.

Sheng Mo Ying noticed Ling Yi Shan's belongings in the living room area. She assume Ling Yi Shan's room is the one with the closed door.

"There are three internet cafes within ten minute walking distance. If you're planning to draw some dongman, you should try to go out so that you're not always home alone. I'll send you the address, and my recommendation on foods and drinks."

"Okay!"

"If you run into any problems, need anything, or just bored and want to talk, you can always text me. I'll reply as soon as I can," Lan Jun Yi says.

"Yes, sir!"

After dinner, Lan Jun Yi took Sheng Mo Ying on a sightseeing tour.

"That's the Jade River," Lan Jun Yi says, "the Jade River divided Hai City into two, the East is the new city built after the Second World War, while the west is the old city. You can still see the western buildings on the west side.

On the East side, there is the Eastern Pearl, around it are some of the largest company base in China and around the world. The one that has a blue lychee, that is where I work."

Sheng Mo Ying stares at the buildings one by one as Lan Jun Yi describes them. The skylines she could only see in pictures or in videos now in front of her.

"This Saturday night. I'll take you on a walk alongside of the East Jade, then take you on a cruise, maybe even take you to my work." Lan Jun Yi says.

It's been five hours since she landed, and Lan Jun Yi already made plans with her the entire month.

"As long as I'm spending time with you, even if we go hiking, I'll be happy." Sheng Mo Ying says.

She remembers the second spring break they shared together, Lan Jun Yi and a group of Chinese international students decided to go to the Appalachian mountains. They camped out for the entire week in the wild.

The last day, it started raining very badly, and Sheng Mo Ying hid in Lan Jun Yi's tent for comfort. That was the first night they slept in the same bed. Since then, the only time she would sleep well is when she's next to Lan Jun Yi.

Lan Jun Yi smiles as he recalls the week at the mountains.
