Chapter 106 - Magical Date
Despite carrying Shen Li for more than an hour, Yu Dong barely sweated making Shen Li's heart swoon with her strength. His wife was really something, she didn't even utter a single complaint despite carrying him for so long. He could feel his heart thump at the sight of her womanly strength, who didn't like a woman who was beautiful and strong?
And he was really lucky to have such a wife in his life, she belonged to him. How fabulous.
Yu Dong who was carrying Shen Li on a piggyback ride on the other hand could feel her heart thump as Shen Li's warm breath skimmed the crook of her neck. Every time his breath fell on her skin, she felt her body heat up and goosebumps broke all over her body. She wasn't used to this but she didn't dislike it either, however, how much she liked it - it was hard to say with his warmth against her back was making her feel things that she shouldn't be feeling right now.
Yu Dong inhaled a sharp cold breath and tried to calm herself down if she knew this was going to be be really troublesome and her body would react so greatly because of Shen Li's closeness she wouldn't have suggested that to carrying him all the way up to the mountain.
" wife, where are you taking me?" asked Shen Li not realising how his small and innocent actions were arousing Yu Dong in the middle of the forest.
Yu Dong felt his breath once again skim the edge of her earlobe and could feel her ears warming up because of it, she hoped that her ears haven't turned red or else it would be really embarrassing. To be aroused by her husband who innocently asked her where she was taking him was really a bit too much perverted! Who would have thought that the more innocent a person was the more seductive they could be - or maybe the side effects of her years of being single were finally catching up to her. And she was feeling it despite it being anything sexual just because her husband was well according to her liking?
" somewhere nice, I only saw it once when I walked around the village " said Yu Dong dodging the obvious pit someone or most likely a wolf or dog have clawed in the centre of the road, of course it could be a man-made trap to catch a rabbit or something." I like to keep a check of my surroundings, the hideout, the safe place..it makes me feel safe and secure. Though it's weird to do it now that I am not where I was months ago but it's just an old habit of mine"
Shen Li knew that Yu Dong came from a dangerous place but just how dangerous she never told him or anyone else. Maybe it was because she thought that neither of them would be able to take it or maybe she herself didn't want to remember the horrible place where she once lived " do you miss your world, I mean the place where you came from?"
Yu Dong paused, for a while before continuing on her journey. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer Shen Li's question but she didn't know how to answer it. To say that she didn't miss it, it would be a lie, she, of course, missed her world because that's where her little brothers were but to miss it so much that she would want to go back - then it could be said that she didn't miss it " I don't know, it's kinda complicated it could be said that I miss it. After all, there are some people whom I miss a lot but I don't think that I would like to go back. "
' people that she misses?' thought Shen Li inwardly and only now did he realise that Yu Dong too must have a family in her world as well. The words that he wanted to speak, suddenly locked inside his throat, he didn't want to ask who the person was that she missed but at the same time he wanted to, he wanted to know who could be that made Yu Doing yearn for them even after death. Was it her lover or a husband?
Sure enough, a jealousy filled bud bloomed in his heart. He knew that he shouldn't be jealous of that person but he was because he didn't want to let go of Yu Dong what if she kept missing that person and someday she leaves them just like she came to them?
Shen Li didn't want that it was totally selfish of him because Yu Dong didn't belong to him or anyone else. She belonged to someone else and it was just because of sheer luck that they got her in their life but he was just petty like that it. She was his wife and he was going to keep her by his side no matter what, but of course the fact that she had someone else before them was really an annoying matter for him.
As he jostled on her back, Shen Li thought about how to continue the conversation that would answer all his questions without him sounding jealous. He knew if he asked about that he was prying in her personal space but he wanted to know who it was. But before he could put his thoughts in straightway questions, Yu Dong stopped and then crouched down realising that it was his cue to get down, Shen Li hopped onto the ground as gently as he could before looking up.
And to his surprise, the place Yu Dong brought him to was one of the most prettiest places he had seen. It was a flower valley hidden right in the middle of the grooves, pink, blue, yellow - a myriad of colourful flowers decorated the entire place.
And Shen Li only had two words for it : freaking beautiful.
