Crashed into His Embrace

Outside, the wind brought about a biting cold as the drizzle turned into falling sleet. Shen Xi walked out to a shivering cold, but her attention was soon drawn to the man on the sidewalk. 

Under the dim streetlight sat a man in a wheelchair. It was not known how long he had been waiting but raindrops mixed with snowflakes were sliding down the slanted umbrella as they fluttered against his face, body, and hair. 

Shen Xi was caught in a moment of trance. Holding no umbrella, she stood at the hotel entrance and stared blankly at him. Her heart throbbed in love and in pain for him. 

Li Yuan noticed the girl wearing a thin layer of pajamas. Her thin ankles and cute toes were visible through a pair of flip-flops. Feeling a pit in his stomach, he gazed at her and said, "Stand there and don't move." 

Shen Xi was ready to pounce into his arms and give him a tight hug when his words froze her on the spot.
