Falling For You Once Again - Chapter 89 Heart Froze
Wei’s heart cried recollecting how Jiang Chen fooled him. He should have openly told him openly that he wants to see his girl, instead of mentioning that he needs to visit Jiang Chen. He smacked his face with his palm.
“Drag your ass here before tomoroow morning !!”, an another message in his wechat popped up.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s message, a wide grin appeared on Wei’s face. He replied instantly, “Yes boss !!”
**********
Jiang Chen reached Wei’s villa and parked his car outside the gate. He looked at the house opposite to the villa, but it looked completely dark. He checked his watch and noticed that the time was just 9:15 PM. He just wondered if Ziyi slept early, seeing no lights. He sighed and went inside the villa. He got refreshed and had the dinner made by Wei’s maid. Post that he went upstairs and started working on his emails. Though it was night in London, but in US,it was still the noon. So, he attended lots of meetings with the company directors.
Around 12:30 AM, Ziyi regained her consciousness after sleeping for four hours. She looked around the surroundings, and upon noticing that its Zaw’s flat, she sighed a deep relief.
“Zaw”, she called Zaw in a low voice. Her voice was so feeble that Zaw, who was deeply immersed in studying didn’t notice. Gathering some more energy, she called again “Zaw !!”
Zaw turned his back and seeing that Ziyi was awake, he instantly rushed to her :
“Are you okay?”, he questioned worriedly
“I am “, Ziyi smiled faintly.
“Do you remember what happened ? How did you get a relapse ?”
” Don’t know.. ”
“Do you want to eat something ? Do you want me to cook something or shall I order some takeout ?”
“Nope..I am alright..Can you get me a glass of Glucose water please !!”, she requested.
Zaw went back to the tiny kitchen in his studio flat and brought her a glass of glucose water. She drank it immediately and glared at Zaw.
“Why are behaving so miserly ? Can’t you put few more spoons of glucose into it ?”. Her eyes sounded full of complaining.
He chuckled and added another spoon to her water. “Nothing more..!! Don’t you know that too much glucose shouldn’t be given since it instantly rushes into the blood and it’s not good for a patient.”
Ziyi drank the water without any complaints. After 10 minutes, she regained some energy and Zaw brought her some soup.
Ziyi raised her eyes with question mark, wondering if Zaw really made soup since he sucks at cooking, especially soups.
“Don’t worry !! I am not poisoning you… These are instant soups. AJ’s mom got knorr soup packets, last time when she visited. I brought a few and they don’t taste bad either.”
“I am really okay… I don’t feel like eating anything. Just pack it in a flask. I will heat it in home. Just drop me near my home.”
“Why don’t you take a rest here for today ?”, Zaw said in a worried tone.
“No Zaw !! I will go home “, she insisted.
Zaw nodded and both of them came out of the accommodation. Zaw wanted to his car to drop her but Ziyi insisted on walking since the home is just 0.3 miles away from her home.
The temperature was just -1 degree celsius and the roads are covered with snow. Feeling worried that she might slip, Zaw held her hands during their walking.
Both didn’t speak anything. In less than 5 minutes, both of them reached her house. Exactly at the same time, Jiang Chen who was tired after the long calls,walked into his room’s balcony to stretch the body.He saw Zaw and Ziyi holding hands and walking together. His heart burned with jealousy. The hands that which only he used to hold once, were held by another person today. Millions of needles pricked into his heart at once. He stared at them till they reached her home.
Ziyi smiled at Zaw and said, “Thanks Zaw !! Good night”
“Can we talk Icey ?”
“Since when, you need permission to talk ?”, Ziyi asked wondering.
” Icey !! Can’t you let the things go ?”, Zaw contemplated before asking.
Ziyi stayed silent for a while. She knew why Zaw said such things. Probably he must have worried after seeing her relapse.
“Icey !!!”, Zaw called again seeing her silence.
“Mmmm”
“Can’t you ??”
Ziyi removed her hand gloves and bent on the ground. She made a round ball with the snow that was on the ground. Jiang Chen and Zaw were wondering what she is going to do. Since Chen was far away, he couldn’t read what they were conversing. He was just noticing their actions.
she made a ball of sumptuous size and got up. Immediately, she pulled Zaw’s hand gloves and placed the ball in his hands. His heart bleed red seeing this tiny act. Snow balls are made with or for the people whom we love. He never got any chance to make a snow man with her during their 13 years of knowing each other.But today, right infront of him, she not only she held hands with someone but also made a snow ball. He wanted to smash that snow ball instantly but somehow he held that urge in hold. Things were not so positive already and he doesn’t want to make Ziyi hate him more.
Zaw was surprised at Ziyi’s act and raised his eyes questioning what she is doing.
Ziyi replied calmly, ” Hold it in your hands till I say so..No matter what happens, you must not drop it.”
Zaw was shocked for a second but without any further questions, he held it.
30 seconds passed….
30 more seconds passed….
Zaw’s hands started trembling. His hands turned pink. But still he held it feeling that Ziyi might ask him to stop it soon.
Another 15 seconds passed. Zaw’s whole face was turned red and his body started shivering. He could feel sharp pain emerging from his palms due to the extreme chillness.
Even Jiang Chen was surprised seeing this. Why are Ziyi and that guy staring at each other? Also why is he holding that snow ball as if some kind of punishment ? Holding some block of Ice for almost two minutes without moving will cause too much pain. Infact, his hands must be numb but his entire body could experience the pain already.
After another 15 seconds, he dropped the block of snow and instantly hissed, “Ouchhhh !!”. He immediately groaned pressing his palms and said, “Icey !! What are you trying to convey??”
” You couldn’t hold it for two minutes. Then how can I let it go when she froze to death, right infront of my eyes??”, she yelled loudly and tears dropped from her eyes.
