Capítulo 59: 1.2.22: Heart Skipping a Beat
When the couple finished sightseeing, they returned to their hotel a bit late into the night.
They had spent a long bit together, from exploring the island's exterior to going shopping for souvenirs.
Despite her disagreement, Qing Yue had ended up purchasing a cute little palm tree keychain for her.
When he had brought it to the cashier, the cashier chuckled and said that the palm tree keychain came in a pair.
Qiang Yue, flustered, quickly tried to explain to Xiao Yunhua that he didn't know, only to see her looking at him with amusement.
In the end, since he told her that he was going to get her this charm no matter how much she disagreed, he ended up buying the other palm tree keychain in the pair. When both trees clicked together, it created a little heart, despite how odd it seemed.
The moment that they returned, Xiao Yunhua immediately asked the new receptionist who brought her back.
The receptionist, a young man, shook his head. "I apologize, but I believe that I didn't see you enter. Maybe it was during another person's shift?"
"Could you check the security cameras? Please!?" Xiao Yunhua was desperately. And frightened.
Who could avoid getting seen and get her back in her room so inconspicuously?
"Apologies ma'am, I'm not authorized to show or control anything in relation to the security cameras. As well as the person in control can't show you the camera, either, as our hotel values privacy."
Xiao Yunhua sighed and clutched the keychain in her hands, looking at Qiang Yue with a deep look in her eyes.
Qiang Yue didn't know what she was thinking, but based on her frown, he knew that it wasn't anything good.
Using one hand, he waved it in front of her face, trying to get her attention. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, it's just that I don't know who had the authority to bring me back to my hotel room while I was unconscious. Who could sneak past the receptionist without being seen..."
She sighed again, her face downcast. "I'm worried... I'm scared."
Before he could help himself, Qiang Yue's arms were already wrapped around her in an effect to comfort her.
It worked, as she looked up at his tall stature in shock.
Qiang Yue avoided her questioning eyes and patted her head that was at his chest's level. "You'll be fine. If I were to say it was me, would you believe it?"
"Ah!" Xiao Yunhua gasped in shock. "How could it be you? Didn't you leave already to rest?"
Qiang Yue was the last person she expected to have brought her back.
Did that mean that he saved her as well?
This unexpected twist, Xiao Yunhua did not believe it. So she suspiciously asked, "Then you must've saved me as well."
Qiang Yue nodded, but Xiao Yunhua was still suspicious. "From what?"
Qiang Yue looked at her in silence then answered, "From the water. I found your hotel key in your bag that you had with you."
Hearing him answering her questions with ease and a neutral tone, as well as the man hadn't lied to her beforehand, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and sunk into his embrace.
"So happy..." she muttered, but Qiang Yue didn't hear what she fully said.
He inched closer, only to hear her mutter again, "So happy that it's you."
And for the first time in his life, in regards to a woman, Qiang Yue felt his heart skip a beat...
