章 11: Sending Her Back Home
Wang Yi Ling just stepped out from the library when she received her sister, Wang Yi Su's message.
'Please come home today. We need to talk.' Wang Yi Ling scrunched her eyebrows while reading the message. Now what? She really wished she could get away from all sorts of problem. She even thinks of becoming a nun lately!
She quickly went back to her rented house and packed the necessary items with her and was head back to the living room when she bumped into a solid chest. She instinctively touched the chest and took a quick peek when suddenly her hand became stiff. Her cheek flushed red. Chen Yi had steadily held her in his arms when she was bumped into him. What an encounter! He chuckled.
"Sorry, I didn't see you," she stammered, feeling guilty. Chen Yi chuckled. The sound was so sweet and charming that she was stunned momentarily. She had never realized it before this.
Get hold of yourself, Yi Ling! She scolded herself. Please don't act like a fool at this moment. It's not good for you and your poor heart. Get hold yourself… Get hold yourself… Get hold yourself… she chanted internally.
"Where are you going? So hurry?" he asked, curious. He eyed her and her backpack.
"Home. I have some emergency at home. See ya!" she then rushed out without waiting for his response. Chen Yi watched her back and sighed. Home? I have yet got the chance to ask her about the other day, again! He grumbled unhappily.
"Yi Ling! Wait!" He chased after Wang Yi Ling who had rushed out of the entrance door. Wang Yi Ling glanced back at him. She was actually nervous and yet excited by the sight of Chen Yi approached her. Damn! Am I crazy to even think of things like this at the moment? She scolded herself. She tried to act cool when Chen Yi came closer to her.
Chen Yi quickly grabbed her hand after he came to her. Panted. Wang Yi Ling definitely had run too fast that he had to speed in order to catch up with her.
At the touch of his hand, Wang Yi Ling jerked her hand. Shocked. It was as if there was electric jolt between the two of them. Chen Yi was speechless. What's with the reaction, he was wondered.
"Sorry… I didn't mean to jerk your hand, it just… erm…" she suddenly lost of words. She lowered her head, feeling guilty. Chen Yi blinked his eyes in confusion. What did she mean?
"It's OK. There's no hard feeling, OK?" He tried to console her.
"I send you back home," he volunteered himself to have the courtesy to send her back home. He looked at Wang Yi Ling with so much hope in his eyes. Wang Yi Ling stunned. Send me home? No problem! It's better than take a bus ride. She thought to herself.
"Chen Yi, wouldn't that burden you? I'm going back to City A. It will take four hours' drive," she said nervously. But if Chen Yi could send her home, at least she can save a little bit of her expenses.
"No problem. Come on now, I'll send you," Chen Yi stated with determination in his tone.
"Really?" Wang Yi Ling looked at him, to seek for certainty in the situation they were in now. Dude, I really meant it, a four-hour drive with a speed of 120km/h. Oh, maybe you can speed faster… Either way, I really appreciate it!
Without saying anything, Chen Yi took off her backpack from her shoulders then put one arm around her shoulders and dragged her to his black BMW. He opened the door and shove Wang Yi Ling inside before he put her backpack in the back seat. Then he moved to another side and get into driver seat.
"Buckle up! I won't drive until you buckle up," he casually commanded. Wang Yi Ling could only mouthed 'Oh' without making any sound. In truth, she was still shock with the close proximity between Chen Yi and her just now. She could smell faint masculine cologne from him. A scent that was sexy yet comfortable. She secretly peeked at Chen Yi. She had unconsciously smiled and caught by Chen Yi. Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he leaned towards her.
"Ehmm… What makes you smile so sweetly?" he whispered next to her ear. Wang Yi Ling blushed furiously and her ears red. How embarrassing! Please don't make a fool of yourself Wang Yi Ling! Get hold! Get hold! She constantly reminded herself.
"It's nothing… Nothing…" she stammered, embarrassed. Chen Yi burst out laugh when listening to her stammering. How cute! He had never seen this side of hers. The Wang Yi Ling he knew was someone who was headstrong, but kind and witty.
"Anyway, why did you need to go home today? Next week you're going to have examination, don't you?" he initiated the conversation between the two of them. His foot stepped on the accelerator and the BMW glided beautifully on the road.
Before she could answer him, her phone rang with the ringtone she specifically assigned to her sisters. She quickly fished her phone from her jeans pocket.
"Where are you now?" Wang Yi Su's voice rang through the phone.
"On my way. We'll talk later, OK?" She responded in a hushed voice.
"Why did you hush-hush over there?" Wang Yi Su asked her, bewildered. Her sister Wang Yi Ling never used that kind of tone to talk. Hmmm…
"It doesn't matter. As long as you come back home. This is urgent," Wang Yi Su said before she hang up on her. Wang Yi Ling stared blankly at her phone until it dimmed. Chen Yi only watched her staring at her phone from the side.
"Damn! She didn't even let me talk," she grumbled, obviously dissatisfied. Wait till I'm home. Hmmm! She humped internally.
"Your sister?" Chen Yi's voice snapped her back to her senses. She faked a smile, without replying to him. She was really curious what made her sister called her home. Is something happened?
Throughout the journey, both of them resorted to the silent. Except for the music that had been played since the beginning of the journey. The music was all romantic-tune and this had caused Wang Yi Ling to feel uncomfortable. It was as if both of them were going out somewhere, dating. It was truly a tortured to her poor heart and soul. But she didn't dare to voice her opinion.
As if they had telepathy connection in the end, Chen Yi switched the music to soothing instrumental music that had caused Wang Yi Ling to sleep soundly at the front passenger seat. He quickly grabbed a blanket from the back seat and covered her. He even adjusted the air-conditioner that she will not catch cold.
After he drove for about two hours and a half, Chen Yi decided to pull a stop at a restaurant. He looked at the sleeping beauty next to him. He pursed his lips into a line, momentarily trying to figure out whether or not to wake her up from the slumber. It was already late afternoon, and they haven't had their lunch yet.
Just as he was about to wake her up, Wang Yi Ling opened her sleepy eyes. She looked like a cat that just awoke. She stretched her body that her hands incidentally enclosed Chen Yi in between. It appeared as if she was drawn Chen Yi closer to her in an intimate act.
Her eyes widened, shocked. Then, there was a tint of red on her cheeks. Chen Yi was frozen too. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry in this situation. But deep inside his heart, he was on the verge of turmoil. This had tortured his poor soul too… If only he could freely hug and hold this girl…
Wang Yi Ling bit her lower lips, head lowered, embarrassed by the awkward situation. She quickly put away her hands and sat straight on the seat.
"Let's have some food before we continue the journey," Chen Yi said in the end, breaking the awkwardness between them. Wang Yi Ling nodded her head.
Both of them quickly got off the car and walked into the restaurant. They decided to sit next to window that overlooked the blue sea. It was a beautiful scene although it was pretty late in the afternoon. With the glistened waves, it beckoned people to look at it and lost in it too.
"Anyway, when are you planning to come back?" My… Why does it sound melodious? I'll come back to you, definitely, she thought to herself. With that thought, she giggled. Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly as if asking her what's so funny that she was giggling.
"Yi Ling…"his voice was so deep, not at all portrayed his real age of twenty-four. Wang Yi Ling blinked her eyes then lowered her gaze to the food in front of her. She slowly picked up a piece of meat with her fork and slowly stuffed it into her mouth. She clearly trying to savor her food and had completely ignored Chen Yi who was watching her intently.
"Quick, eat your food, so that we can hit the road and reach home early," she casually said and urged Chen Yi to start to eat his food. Chen Yi shrugged and picked up a meat and stuffed it into her mouth instead. And the show continued.
