Zoey smiled and glanced at Jerry Xiao, who was sitting in the crowd, listening to some of the ‘moms’ talk about this, and his eyes, which happened to be directed towards her as well, couldn’t have been clearer about the message they were giving away.
He and Zoey have barely had a proper conversation since his family rushed to the cafe to pick him up after they found out he was out of the institute …
He, completely dominated. This one sentence, that one phrase … hot and cozy and so hard that he simply felt like dreaming …
But now … he really wanted to go and whisper to her …
What should I do? I can’t not accompany the elders. So, can only secretly make eyes, let her go over to accompany. But she is good, not only do not come, on the contrary, turned around and leisurely upstairs.
Hmm? Was he the only one in a desperate mood to be together right now?
He’s, like, really bitter about it!
Zoey was lying quietly on her bed, even though she could still hear the lively sounds downstairs when she got upstairs. The mood, also very good. The gloom deposited in the chest finally dissipated. The night is gone, ushered in the sunshine …
She smiled away and lay down on her side. Looking out the window at the sunlight coming in, it was times like these that confirmed that it really wasn’t a dream.
The room, suddenly, was gently pushed open from outside. She couldn’t help but ripple with laughter, her heart incredibly soft, and she didn’t move, purposely closing her eyes. Someone carefully walked in, and then tiptoed to lie beside her, and the next instant, she was wrapped into a wide embrace with force from behind.
“Why did you run up here alone?” His voice, falling on her ear. The voice was light, soft, and sexy enough to make her heart palpitate.
“Everyone’s gathered around you, and I’m out of favor, so of course I have to come up here in the dark.” Zoey laughs, teasing him.
He raised his head and nibbled on her earlobe. He heard her gasp softly before he whispered heartily, “Zoey , turn around and let me get a good look at you …”
The gentle tone almost forced tears from Zoey’s rolling eyes. She obediently turned around and hid in his arms at once. The two of them lay together on the big bed with their clothes on.
“Going to cry again …” he laughed, nudging the tip of her nose.
She burrowed her face out of his arms and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Looking up at him, “Didn’t you want to see me? Give you a good look.”
Jerry Xiao rested one hand on the back of his head, one hand fell on her face. The line of sight, deeply staring at that face, fingers with the gaze flow through each of her five senses. Really good … later, as long as you reach out, you can touch her … can feel her presence …
“You’ve lost weight too …” He sighed lowly, his voice hiding a strong sense of pain.
“I’m losing weight and staying in shape. On the contrary, you, from today onwards, be good and eat more.” He was so thin that he made her, really, so heartbroken and distressed …
Looks like it’s going to be a good idea to research recipes on the internet and force him to get himself well fed from today onwards.
“Okay, all yours.” He nodded meekly, obeying her unconditionally. Heart, beating wildly. “You …”
She wanted to say something, but he had already gently interjected. “I heard the elders say that this year, you were also very sick?” In his eyes, it was all pain. Gazing deeply at her, as if he couldn’t see enough.
It didn’t matter if anyone else mentioned it. But as soon as he asked, Zoey felt all the grievances and fears of the past come pouring out. She didn’t even know how she got through those months.
With anorexia, you eat and vomit, vomit and eat again, and vomit … again all day long, as if you will die in the next second.
At the time, she really thought she would not be able to wait for him and die before him. If it wasn’t for the kids, she would have never lasted long enough to get well …
Thinking about all that, she grabbed his hand and took it in her mouth and bit down hard.
It hurt a little, and he didn’t cry out in pain, just let her vent.
“I’m sorry it was me that made you suffer so much.” He apologized painfully.
She sniffles, chokes, and says gamely, “If you come back any later, the kids and I … won’t want you …”
The color of his eyes was slightly tight. Zoey didn’t expect him to do this, she was so shocked that she sucked in her breath, only to feel that his body was permeated with a steady stream of hot air, which made her even stop breathing.
“Jin … Fe …,” she whispered his name.
He bent his head to look at her, his eyes full of emotion. Both hands grasped hers and pressed against the sides of her head, all tightly interlocked fingers.
“No words about not wanting me or not waiting for me!” His tone, so bossy, “And no not wanting me or not waiting for me!”
Zoey cried all of a sudden, tears, soaked the pillow, “In fact, I’m so afraid that you can’t come back … We are all afraid that you can’t come back …”
“I’m also afraid that I can’t come back. I’m afraid I’ll never see everyone again, I’ll never see my children, and especially … I’ll never see you … again,” Jerry Xiao’s voice was raspy and a little choked. He looked at her tear-stained face with pity. Those tears, almost melted his heart, “Now I’m back, and in the future … even if you want to drive me away, you can’t drive me away … anymore”
She shook her head desperately, shedding tears.
Kick him out? How could she kick him out? How could she kick him out, the only man she’d ever loved in her life, the man she’d loved with her life?
“I’ll haunt you, haunt you for the rest of your life, haunt you until you’re bored, and I’ll haunt you …”
He smiled, a bright, touching smile. “Then it’s a deal, no backsies!”
“No regrets…..” lips, suddenly was heavily blocked.

Oh! Goodness gracious …
After a year of thinking about it and reading about it, I can finally feel her real presence again in such a real way …
He thought that a few more days without seeing her would really drive him crazy … crazy completely …
