There are plenty of things people fall in love with. Some love rainy days while others love clear blue skies. Some fall in love with a rose while others fancy the cactus. Some love bright days while some enjoy the darkness of the night. But there is always something people love.
Why? Because love is a feeling you can't control. It's not like a rope, you could hold whenever you want to or let it slip away when you feel like it.
But fear is not that different from love. Some people are scared of commitment and love. Some are scared of death and some are just scared of life itself.
We can't possibly control fear as well. Fear is also an uncontrollable feeling.
But love and fear have something in common. Both teach a person a lesson. A lesson of survival. A lesson of growth. A lesson of 'life'.
Xu Mey learned the lesson of 'life' from fear. Love was foreign to her. And the worst of all fears in life is the fear of unknown.
When Ye Jie brought Xu Mey back to his mansion, it was almost past 9 o'clock. Since she was familiar with the house, she didn't need Ye Jie's help to find her way to the bedroom. But he still led her to his, oh no, their bedroom upstairs.
He unlocked the door and pushed it lightly. The fragrance of roses was pervading the candlelit room. Observing her surroundings and that bed filled with rose petals, Xu Mey's jumbled up mind went into hysteria.
Ye Jie was surprised to see the room himself but watching Xu Mey's pale face was amusing. He hid the surprised look along with his amusement with coyness. "I hope my wife liked the arrangements... for the wedding night."
His low husky voice made her heart skip a beat. She tried to walk away from his reach but to her dismay, he held her wrist in his hand. She licked her lips before biting her lower lip to get her senses back.
He pulled her wrist and her body crashed into his broad chest.
'Pull yourself together, Mey! This is not the first time you're in close proximity to a man. Stop being so girly.' Xu Mey's inner-self was bellowing in rage.
'But I am a girl. And what's so wrong with acting like one. Once in a while.' Xu Mey rebutted.
'He's not good for your health. Walk away from him.' The inner-self was really nagging harshly.
'Well, he is dangerous for me.' Her inner battle lasts for a moment.
Trying to calm her breathing, Xu Mey looked up at his face to say something. He had an obvious mischievous glint in his brown eyes with a radiant smirk on his thin lips.
But that look left her in a daze. 'But he's really handsome as well.' She again thought in her mind losing the last bit of rationality.
Ye Jie was pleased with her transfixed countenance. He lowered his face towards her. Inadvertently, Xu Mey took a step back. It was on reflex she had no control over. He took another step ahead and in response, she took another step back.
They continued with a step back and a step ahead until Xu Mey's legs felt the edge of the bed behind. There was nowhere else to run anymore.
There was a haughty smirk playing on Ye Jie's lips. His brows were arched as if to challenge her. 'Where are you gonna run now?' He lowered his face again towards her. Xu Mey bent her body backward but she lost her footing. On pure reflex, Ye Jie snaked his arm around her waist and she held onto Ye Jie's tie making him fall with her on the bed.
As she laid on her back on the bed with Ye Jie's body pressing on her own, an odd thought came to her mind. 'Even the strongest warrior will have a weakness that could make him submissive.' She took herself to be strong until this day. But at this moment, gazing at his handsome face inches away from her own with his piercing gaze penetrating her soul, she realized she had no ability to push him away.
She wanted to get him off her body. She wanted to stay far away from him. But she couldn't do it. His face was so close that she could smell the spearmint from his warm breath as it tingled her.
When his soft thin lips touched her cherry plump ones, her mind was electrified. He softly nibbled on her lower lip, sucking it slowly. The kiss was not urgent or passionate. It was just a simple kiss which displayed a gentle but sincere feeling.
Ye Jie didn't try to deepen the kiss. He knew his limits very well. Most of all, he respected their relationship. He knew she was new to this relationship thing and he didn't want to rush anything. He was scared that she would run away if he went any further. It took a lot of effort to pull away from her sweet taste but he managed it somehow.
Xu Mey's eyes were tightly shut. She only felt the soft touch of his lips along with a warm feeling in her stomach. The response she provided to his soft kiss was nonexistent. She didn't know how to respond at all. Even after his warm lips left her own making her feel a bit cold, she didn't open her eyes.
Until she heard his low husky voice near her ear, "You can call me a second-hand product, dear wife. But don't forget this second-hand product is not useless."
Was it sweet? or nah??

See you in a few hours again!!!
Ye Jie left the wide-eyed Xu Mey on the bed and went to the bathroom for a shower. Usually, when a girl doesn't respond to a kiss, boys either get angry or dejected. But this was not the case with Ye Jie.
He was unexpectedly very happy. Her non-existent response gave him a content feeling. From her body movements, he gathered that it was her very first kiss. That first kiss which, means a lot to girls. Just knowing that she didn't reject his kiss or touch was amusing enough.
Xu Mey stayed on the bed in the same position he left her. She raised her hand and her slender fingers traced her tingling lips. She kept blinking in disbelieve. She never anticipated her first kiss. She never had the time to think about such things.
But this first kiss was not like what Jun Li Na or Sun Ju described to her. This kiss was soft, gentle, simple and yet mesmerizing. Her lips turned upwards at the memory of his lips on hers. Her cheeks were tinted red without her realizing it. She only felt a searing heat on her ears.
Upon hearing the sound of a door opening, Xu Mey sat up straight and tilted her head to see her husband with only a towel around his lower body leaving the rest on display for ogling. Ye Jie was drying his hair with the other towel walking inside the closet. He emerged again in the room after 5 minutes in a winter long sleeve round neck shirt along with striped pajamas. He had brown short shaggy haircut style.
His damp hair fell over his forehead touching the tips of his brows. With his side frame leaning against the closet door, he gazed at his dear wife keeping the same posture with her hands clasped in her lap.
After observing her for a while, he said, "Take a shower and come downstairs. I have a surprise for you."
Xu Mey watched him leaving the room in her confused state. It took a minute for his words to register in her mind. 'Ha... There is still a surprise? Is he trying to make me hate surprises?'
She shook her and walked inside the bathroom. It was a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower area. She took around 30 minutes to take a shower and wore a simple set of dark blue pajamas. She blow dried her long hair and applied lotion on her face.
After her personal care activities, she went downstairs to look for Ye Jie. What caught her attention was the delectable aroma coming from the kitchen. She took small steady steps towards the kitchen and found Ye Jie immersed in stirring something in a pot.
Feeling her presence, he looked at her flushed face and smiled a bit. "Take a seat, I'll serve it in a minute."
She obediently took a seat at the dining table and waited patiently. True to his words, Ye Jie served a hot bowl of extra spicy ramen with extra beef to her. Xu Mey's eyes had stars in her eyes while she was drooling inwardly at the sight of such delicious ramen.
"You cooked this for me?" She asked in disbelief with a hint of curiosity.
"Didn't I promise you?" He replied with his limited words.
'I'll get you the spiciest noodle when you move in, okay?' His words rang in her mind. She remembered being upset that day about her noodles which she didn't even get to eat. She also remembered his words because he kissed her hair that day. Those words were just that 'words' for her. She didn't take them seriously but he did.
It meant a lot to her that he remembered. And not just remembered but he also made it for her all by himself. Come to think of it, "You know how to cook?" She asked with an arched brow.
"Yeah, a little bit." He lied blatantly. Why would the eldest son of Ye Kang need to learn about cooking when he always had servants running around him? It was that promise he made to her. He thought about asking his maid to cook the ramen but decided against it later.
He wanted to make the ramen a special memory which is why he asked his maid to teach him how to make delicious ramen. The maid was so shocked that she almost fainted at his words. It took several tries to make the perfect spicy ramen she so desired.
But seeing the way she looked content and happy while slurping the hot noodles, he felt like all his effort was worth it. The bright smile on her lips with her pretty dimple made him even forget that he scalded his hand with hot water earlier.
Xu MEy was like a little kid in her own world with her bowl of ramens. She slurped the hot noodle and took a sharp intake of breath feeling the sensation of heat from the spiciness. Her eyes got teary and her cheeks were red but she still held a pleased look. A moan escaped her mouth involuntarily surprising Ye Jie who was immersed in observing her reactions.
He walked closer to her ear and said in a low but amusing tone, "Did it hit the G-spot?"
