章節 54: My Happiness Is You

Those accusing words were too hefty for Ye Jie to bear. He was shocked. "Because of me?" To make sure that he didn't hear things, he asked again with an emphasis on his words along with his own index finger pointing at his face. Xu Mey nodded. "Why? Am I reminding you of the bitterness of life?"

Xu Mey leaned back in her seat languidly. "No... You're not the reminder of bitterness...." She sighed audibly. "Instead, you're trying to show me the sweetness of life."

"Isn't that a good thing?" He frowned.

"Not for someone like me. I'm scared... If I got used to your sweetness, it'll get tougher to accept the bitterness of life. It was already hard enough to embrace this bitter taste." She was looking everywhere except for him. His soul-sucking eyes were too much for her to take.

Ye Jie sighed. "Then let me share that taste with you." His face was straight without any hint of jest.

These words forced her to look at his face once again. They kept gazing into each other's eyes when the servers brought all their food. Even when all the food was served none of them moved their gaze away.

"You're good with words, Mr. Ye." Xu Mey started.

Ye Jie stretched his arm over the table and took hold of her smooth, soft hand. "I'm being honest."

Xu Mey snickered. "I'm darkness. Why do you want to become the light that passes through it?"

Ye Jie gave her his signature smile showing his canines. "Because that makes a picture worth remembering." Seeing her confused face, Ye Jie added. "The stars are the light that passes through the dark night. Isn't it beautiful?" Xu Mey nodded after thinking. "I want to be like those stars in your sky of darkness."

She was stunned. "You do know that words carry weight?" She asked with a stern face.

"Yes... I know very well... And I can carry the weight of the words I just said." He replied calmly.

"'The ultimate mystery is one's own self.'" Xu Mey quoted. "And people love to solve mysteries. I'm a mystery to you and you're a mystery to me. Until I stay as a mystery, you'll be interested and the day this mystery is solved... I'll be just another person in your life."

Ye Jie was baffled. He didn't know whether to praise her for her knowledge or bang her head against the wall for being so foolish. Obviously, he didn't have the nerve to do the latter one.

"I have only heard, 'The less you reveal, the more people can wonder.' While this saying is true but doesn't forget that this doesn't mean we need to start hiding from the truth. I won't lie, you piqued my interest because you were different. But doesn't that mysterious difference makes you special?" Ye Jie was still calm with his words and tone.

"'They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.' Do you have the courage to delight in my truth?" She asked with an indifferent tone.

"If you give me a chance. I might really delight in it." Was his reply.

The silence that prevailed the room once again was stagnant. They both ate without talking. Ye Jie didn't stop her from drinking again. He deduced that while drinking she really had a lot to say.

Looks like I need to make her drunk to break the damn locks on her tongue. Ye Jie was feeling a bit bitter about her silence.

The way Ye Jie was stealing glances at her was not unnoticed by Xu Mey. "You can just ask? But let me warn you: Thou shall not try me." She was being dramatic with her tone but Ye Jie found it cute.

"You're cute." He couldn't stop himself from saying.

"Cute but Psycho..." She stuck her tongue out childishly. She seemed cheerful for some reason. Even though her eyes were still clear and her speech was as always soft with no slurring or dragging her words.

You sure are a psycho. He thought.

"What do you do?" He finally asked the question in his mind.

"I do marathons." Her serious face with that stern tone made his crease his brows. "On Netflix... Haha..." She laughed radiantly with her perfect teeth on display. Her reaction left Ye Jie dumbfounded.

"On a serious note, I am a jewelry designer." She replied honestly. "Anything else?"

"What about hobbies?"

"Does drinking counts?" She asked innocently.

"No." Came a curt reply.

"Then I don't have any." She replied.

"Why not?"

"Never got a chance to pick anything as a hobby." Ye Jie couldn't comprehend why that sentence felt so sad to him.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Anything that's not sweet."

"Why no sweet? Afraid to get fat?" Ye Jie was curious about it from the time she refused to eat the cake Ye Jun baked for her.

"Nope... I can't seem to digest anything too sweet." Ye Jie didn't know whether she was talking about sweetness in life or sweetness in food but he still nodded.

"My happiness is you." Xu Mey suddenly said making Ye Jie's body stiffen up.

"Huh?"

"I never understood this phrase." She replied and Ye Jie felt like someone dropped a bucket of cold water on him. Like seriously? Do you have to dampen the mood like this?

"What's not understandable?" He asked.

"How can a person become the happiness for another person?"

"When a person is able to make a smile appear on the other person's face. That person becomes the happiness for him." Ye Jie replied wisely.

Even though every person holds a mystery within. I would love to make you my mystery. And I suddenly don't want this mystery wife of mine to be solved by anyone else. Even by myself.

Oh My Gosh! I can't take this sweetness anymore.

As an author, why am I eating the damn dog food? And why the hell my heart is beating so fast? Get a grip! You wrote it yourself, damn it!

This is unfair, Ye Jie.
