บท 23: Heart warming scene

The moonlight poured from the sky, bathing the city with its silver hue, illuminating. At the city's less frequented highest point, the two were silhouetted against the beauty of soft rays as they looked over the entire city.

"Here you go," Junjie passed a bottle of beer to Fei Hong.

"Thanks," She looked over as he takes off his expensive blazer, spread it on earth before placing his ass carefully on it. "It's just dry soil. Was there a need to spoil the poor blazer?"

Clean freak!

"What?" He shrugged, "Clothes can be bought daily, but not my ass. Besides who knows if there's any worm or insect hidden beneath. No harm being careful!"

"You can even put women to shame." Shaking her head, she brought her gaze back to the City spread across her. The city below her was alive with lights, and it took her breath away. No matter how many times she comes here, she'd never get over it.

"Thanks," He took a mouthful and looked ahead.

"For shaming you?" Though she knew the reason, it was just a small favor for which she didn't want him to show gratitude. Besides, she really did nothing.

He chuckled, took a sip first, "That you do daily, nothing new. I know you do that coz you can't bear to look at my handsome face longer. To cope with that you pass comments,"

"Yeah, I agree with you…. MR. NARCISSIST,"

"I take that as a compliment." He cocked his head to left and clinked his beer bottle with hers. "Jokes apart, it's for putting a few good words for Miss. Zhao Suyin."

Fei Hong's show 'My two cents' was the most highly rated show on radio. It has a reach of millions of people, mostly youngsters who wait to put questions to hear her unbiased opinions. She famously calls it as 'Two-cent thoughts'.

Seeing Suyin being bashed all over, and none come to put a few good words for her, he requested Hong to talk about it on her show.

Knowing Hong's nature, he didn't feel the need to ask her to favor someone…. She'll naturally give an unbiased opinion, partially influencing the people to look at other possible angles.

"No need, it was my honest opinion," She took two sips, scrunched her nose as the liquor went down leaving a sting in her throat. "Did you arrange the caller?"

"Nope," He said, "It was the heated topic. Unavoidable."

"How do you know her?" She wiggled her brows at him, mischievously.

He pushed the bottle in her hand up, "Don't think wild. I followed someone else's orders."

"Who?"

"Not telling,"

"…."

After a long surgery, Wang Shi returned to his office and went straight to the lounge to check on Honey.

Disbelief. Shocked. Astonished.

Different emotions swiped over Wang Shi when he saw his ever so grumpy tsundere son hugging Suyin with all his might, cocooning in the soft blanket. To be exact, he rested his hand at Suyin's cheek while his face was buried at the crook of her neck.

His clear and equal breathing showed how deep slumbered he was.

Wang Shi stood rooted, taking in the beauty of the scene. He tried to recall when was the last time Honey hugged him to sleep!? Never! When did his son last slept so peacefully?

Sigh….

It was always Wang Shi hugging Honey until he turned three and got his own room. From then onwards he had never shared a bed with his father. Even if he falls sick, it would be Wang Shi who'd adamantly accompany Honey through the night but never dared to sleep.

If he did, the light sleeper Honey would instantly sense someone's presence and would either pick a couch or change room.

Wang Shi took his phone out to take a picture of the heartwarming scene.

Slowly. Quietly. Gently. Wang Shi extended his hand to check Honey's temperature, but before he could touch a single strand of his hair the woman stirred, her brows furrowed and she closed the last bit of space between her and Honey.

His hand froze. His entire world slowed down.

Something flashed beneath the surface of his indifferent expression and his gaze fell on Suyin's sleeping face. He cannot stop himself from taking a careful look…..

She wasn't stunning in a classical way, but in her ordinariness, she was a rare beauty. Beautiful pastel white complexion, cute nose though a little long, pink cheeks and perfectly sculpted lips as if carved by angels.

Her hair flowed down her shoulder like waves on a sandy beach. Hidden behind the long lashes were a pair of grey eyes like stormy clouds, blowing in the wind. Determined, Vigorous!

Wang Shi felt his hand itch when he saw a strand of unruly hair falling over her lash, caressing her cheek.

Out of impulse, he extended his hand….

Frowning, he pulled back instantly. What was he about to do just now?

Thank God he didn't!

His eyes warily looked left-right to assure no one witnessed him doing that.

He shook his head in disbelief….

'You are surely getting older. Even your brain has started acting on its own ah!? Better take medicines before it gets worse.'

Sigh…

Afraid of his own actions, he left them alone and went to freshen up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."

Mornings are peaceful, one likes to wake up with the chirp of birds. However, today Suyin jolted up with the loudest ever ear-piercing scream of a little human in her arms.

Oh, boy! What a scream it was. It woke her up faster than a cat in ice-water, every sense clawed their way to standing and she bolted up straight over the bed with eyes flung wide.

...

A moment ago, Honey's biological clock kicked at the exact time, however, he felt something soft, squishy and pleasantly fragrant near him. He hugged the squishy thing closer, wondering from where his father got this blanket from.

He'll ask him to get one more.

But….

He shot opened his eyes so wide each iris was a perfect orb of dark chocolate when he heard the sound of snoring that isn't his own. The scenery in front horrified him and that's when he screamed his lungs out, rolling to the left and slides down the bed.

"Huh… Uh… where? Where it is?" Clutching on the blanket like a life savior, she pranced over the bed, scanning around.

Honey in a confused state, " What are you looking for?"

"Lizard," She answered. "That's why you were screaming, right?"

"…."
