When I slightly turned around and saw that he is here, standing in front of me just like he has just arrived, I was literally startled by him as I didn't know how to react. Isn't he supposed to be there in Chongqing at this time? So how did he manage to come here? I asked myself this in my mind. Then he said, "Stop overthinking. You need to check the date of the videos on which it gets posted on Weibo," he said.
Then I immediately took out my phone from my pocket and saw that video again, and when my eyes went on it, I saw that this video is from two days ago. Oooo god Zhao Shiza, how could you not notice the date of the video? I murmured this to myself in a very low voice that can't be heard by anyone else here, but I really forgot that here is no one else standing — here is just my Yuan standing right in front of me.
And he said, "Because you were so much lost looking at me in the video that you couldn't check the date of the video."
I looked at him the moment he said it, and to avoid the conversation I said, "Stop overthinking about yourself every time." I said it with a little bit of confidence that somehow I managed to show in front of him, but it all went wasted because he caught me like a cat catches a rat in its trap.
And then he said, "You are fully captivated by me and I know it pretty well. I didn't say it every time, it doesn't mean I don't know anything."
Then he bent slightly towards me to meet my eye level while I am still sitting on that suitcase, and then he slightly pulled that suitcase closer towards him and said while holding the sides of the suitcase with both of his hands, "What do you think, you silly girl, that I didn't know what my girl is up to or what's going on in her life?" he asked me.
But his tone is slightly different today, and I can sense that it's not his usual or teasing tone that he always uses with me. Today this tone carries something different, something very deep which can't be expressed — it can only be felt, not expressed.
And when I sensed that it's not his usual tone, I didn't say anything. I just stayed quiet, sitting there on my suitcase. And then he said, "What do you think, I didn't know that you are leaving your dormitory today? I know it already," he said.
"When did you know about it? As Wang Ruoxi is not here, so who is giving you the information about my life?" I dared to ask him this after gathering some courage.
Then he looked at me and said, "Do I really need Wang Ruoxi to get to know about what's going on in my girlfriend's life?"
I looked down at the road and shook my head.
"See, you can also answer this," he said. "Answers are always inside ourselves only, we just need to ask the questions and it will start giving us the answers on its own."
Then hearing that from him, there was silence between us for at least five to ten minutes. We are in the same posture — him slightly bending towards me and I am sitting on my suitcase, which feels like I glued myself to it.
Then he didn't ask me anything. He just said like an order or a command, "Come with me," while getting up from his bending position.
I looked at him for a while after hearing it, and then I stood up from my suitcase and said to him, "Yuan, you can't give me orders like this."
He exhaled sharply, which really seemed like I was testing the bit of patience that he has left in him.
"Get inside the car, then only I'll reply to your question. We'll do this question and answer round inside the car."
Then he started moving towards his car, but I didn't. I didn't refuse him, I just stayed sitting on my suitcase.
Then after walking three to four steps away from me towards his car, he turned around and saw me, and he saw that I am still sitting on my suitcase. And he understood from my body language that I am not ready to move from here.
Then he exhaled sharply and came back to me again, and then he said to me while looking at me, "Why? Why? Just tell me why you always do certain things to me which need an equal or opposite reaction," he said.
I really don't know what he means by it, but still, without spoiling my image of a stubborn girl since childhood, I am really not ready to move from here, and then I tightened my grip on my suitcase.
Then he again exhaled sharply, which seemed like I have tested his last bit of patience, and now anything will happen. And I prepared for it because I already knew that something is coming — something is really coming towards me. So Zhao Shiza, be prepared, you yourself invited this for yourself, now be daring and face it. I thought all these things in my mind.
Then he said, "Now I need to do that."
"That what?" I asked him.
Then he said, "I have my ways, and to take those ways to make you sit inside the car," he said.
While I am still processing what he has just said, he didn't wait, and within the blink of an eye he came near me, slightly bent towards me, and kissed my right cheek.
I went in shock, and the grip that I made on my suitcase for sitting on it loosened due to this sudden kiss from him in the middle of the road, which I at least didn't expect today.
Then, taking advantage of my loosened grip on my suitcase, he lifted me up in his arms before even letting me realize what is going on. He lifted me up with one hand under my knees and the other supporting my back, and started walking towards his car.
I got awkward and shy at the same time because of his action that he had just done. I didn't expected that. My Mr heart starts fluttering but thank god I managed to control it. I said all this in my mind, but while walking towards his car, still in his arms, I felt very shy, so I hid my face in his T-shirt.
Then we finally reached his car, and he opened the door of his car and made me sit inside. He was placing me inside the car like I am something sacred which can be ruined very easily if not placed properly.
Then after placing me inside the car, he closed the door and came inside the car too and sat on the driving seat. He started the car without even wasting a second.
And as the car started moving on the road, I didn't dare to speak anything, but why is he not saying anything? I asked this question to myself.
Then he said after a gap of twenty minutes, as twenty minutes had passed and we didn't speak a word to each other, and then after that he finally asked me something, which I am glad that he did.
And then he asked me a very strange question — "Who are you?"
I got a little bit shocked after hearing this silly question from him, but still I answered, "Zhao Shiza," in my very low and tiny voice, which only comes when I know that I did something wrong or I have created a mess.
Then he said, "So Miss Zhao Shiza, who are you to make my girlfriend's life at risk?"
This question made me a bit shocked hearing that, because I really didn't mean what he is feeling right now.
"Do you really know what I felt when I got to know that you are sitting there without even knowing where to go and just sitting in the middle of the road? Do you really know what it made me feel? It made me feel that my girl is vulnerable now, she is alone now, anyone could—"
His voice cracked a little while saying that, and his eyes became teary while saying all these words to me.
Then he continued, "If you don't care about yourself or don't prioritize yourself, then whenever you think like that, please think about me, because my whole world lies in you, and I can't see you so unsafe here every time. And first of all, change this reckless behaviour of yours. It scares me to death," he said while still driving the car.
And I am just quietly listening to all those things, whatever he is saying, and didn't interrupt him, as I want him to let his fear out that he was holding back for so long.
His voice cracked again and he said, "You didn't tell me that you are leaving your dormitory. You didn't even prepare anything for yourself to stay somewhere. How could I stay so calm when I know that my girlfriend is not just silly, she is very reckless? So now I have decided one thing — that you need to stay in a safe place that I have found for you, as I can't take risk with your life, because I know your silliness and recklessness will land you in big trouble."
Then the car stopped, as we had reached the destined place where he wanted to take me.
I know that I am at fault, but I only did all this for him, so that he would be able to focus more on his career, not on me. But I think I messed up everything, because seeing him like this right now, saying all these things, only makes me sure that the more I make myself away or disconnected from him, the more he gets stressed or troubles himself for me.
I think I understand — it's wrong. Sometimes going away from the other person is not caring for that person, it only becomes a problem or a burden for that person. And in our case, going is not the right approach. Staying should work in our relationship more.
Maybe whatever I have understood just now, I might be wrong, but not fully. While keeping on thinking these things in my Mr. Heart, I forgot that we have reached our destined place.
And the moment I came back from my thoughts, when I looked outside the glass of the car, I saw that and got a bit shocked while seeing it, because this place is none other than the.....
