Idiot In Love - 45 Chapter 159
It was good that one problem settled by itself, but Jun Liu had a bad feeling about the whole thing.
NaNa came out from her room with pink luggage with her.
“For now, I can only bring this, but when the time comes where I need more, I can always return to take my stuff here. Wait for a minute” NaNa put the luggage near Jun Liu and dashed towards Yi Fei’s room.
YI Fei didn’t have the habit of locking her room when she went out of the house. So, it was easy for NaNa to retrieve the things asked by Yi Fei on the phone conversation earlier.
NaNa came out with a red luggage on her one of her hand and another stack of rolled up poster on the other hands. Jun Liu tried to take the poster from NaNa’s hand but she evaded him skilfully. “This is Yi Fei’s inspiration. She’ll know if other people touch them. She’ll be very angry if other people touch this”.
Jun Liu did not press much on the matter regarding to the poster. Some people have something that they deem precious to him so if he is not allowed to touch it, then he won’t pester them anymore.
The bad feeling he felt earlier was replaced with a relief of seeing NaNa returned to normal. She was smiling like how she always does.
Jun Liu took both luggages and went out of the house first and followed by NaNa. Thankfully, this time, Zi Yi was nowhere to be seen. Jun Liu was not sure whether Zi Yi went to work or if he simply had learnt his lesson after getting punched by Jun Liu.
Inside the car, NaNa was humming and moving her head from left to right like a happy kid. Even though Jun Liu was late to work, NaNa didn’t seem to care about that and continued humming to a song that sounds familiar to Jun Liu.
The song in which Ying Yue always hummed into – the opening song of the anime ‘Wedding Peach’.
Jun Liu didn’t know why NaNa would hum into that song, but he won’t ask her about it. He wasn’t ready to think about marriage.
“Ah Jun…” NaNa stopped humming and turned into Jun Liu’s direction.
Jun Liu replied with a single ‘mm’ without even glancing towards NaNa. He knew it. The marriage topic was about to come.
“You know, my brother and Yi Fei will get married soon” NaNa was smiling. “As if I will give up my housemate THAT easily” NaNa laughed evilly.
Jun Liu didn’t support or encourage his girlfriend because he was not ready for NaNa to ask about when they were getting married. He waited for a few minutes, but NaNa did not ask him the question, so he asked instead.
“What about it? You want to get married too?” Jun Liu knew that he was playing with fire, but he still wanted to know about NaNa’s opinion of marriage.
It was not as if Jun Liu doesn’t want to get married but he wanted to know NaNa better before he decided to spend the rest of his life with NaNa. He doesn’t want to end up like his father. At the end of the day, before his mother left them for the guy she loves, she said that she regretted getting married early; she regretted that she didn’t take her time to know Jun Liu’s father better before saying yes to him.
“Don’t be offended okay…” NaNa was contemplating whether she should tell Jun Liu’s about her view of marriage. After all, her view of marriage changed drastically after Zi Yi left her.
When Jun Liu heard that ‘don’t be offended’ from NaNa, he was sure that he’d be offended because usually when people want to offend someone, they’ll say ‘No offense’ but then after that, they say everything that is offensive.
Jun Liu braced himself for the worst.
“After I broke up with Zi Yi, I think about the meaning of life and marriage. This sounds cliché but I don’t want to get married alone. I mean, marriage is a mutual agreement between couple, like a lifetime vow to spend the rest of their life together. And I want to get married when the man I love wanted to get married to me. It would be some kind of girlfriend oppression if I force my boyfriend to marry me.” NaNa laughed, she looked at Jun Liu and extended her fingers to touch his cheek.
“And in order for me to know whether he really wants to marry me is to know him better. I don’t know about you but I feel like I do not know you better at this moment. It feels like, a lady close to you can just come between us and she’ll know you better than I am and then she can just snatch you away from me – just like that. I won’t be able to sleep well if I get married to a man that I didn’t know well enough.” NaNa inched closer to Jun Liu.
“I am not close to any lady, and I don’t even have a female friend” Jun Liu intervened just to explain himself but NaNa only laughed upon hearing that.
“I know. It is just an example. I want to know more about you. About your ambition, your goal, your desire” NaNa leaned closed to Jun Liu’s face and gave him a light peck on the cheek. “I want to know everything about you”
NaNa returned to her original position and Jun Liu could feel the lost of warmth on his cheek. Earlier, Jun Liu thought that he didn’t want to get married but after listening to NaNa’s view of marriage, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to get married.
Both of them were quiet the whole way. Only NaNa was humming to different kind of songs ranging from anime opening song, KPOP songs and drama OST.
Jun Liu was taking both of the luggage up to Wu Chen’s house when he saw that the door to Wu Chen’s home was wide open.
Inside the house, Yi Fei could be seen on a wheelchair while waving her bandaged hand to NaNa. NaNa stopped for awhile, looking a bit guilty upon seeing the bandaged hand of Yi Fei but the guilt was quickly dispersed when she heard Yi Fei said ‘you are going to sleep in Ah Jun previous room’.
When Jun Liu entered the house, he could see a poker face Wu Chen who was sitting on the sofa. He had a stack of a document on the coffee table. Jun Liu figured out that Wu Chen must be working at home since he needed to take care of Yi Fei.
Jun Liu put the luggage near NaNa and told her that he would head out for work. NaNa, who was happy again dismissed Jun Liu with a wave. Jun Liu had dissatisfaction inside his heart.
“Ah Jun” Wu Chen called Jun Liu from behind.
Jun Liu prepared himself to answer Wu Chen. He thought that Wu Chen might want to question him about what happened between him and NaNa last night. He planned to tell Wu Chen everything.
He did not answer Wu Chen with a word; instead, Jun Liu shot a questioning look to Wu Chen.
“I can’t believe you agree to this living arrangement. Didn’t you hate having housemate?” Wu Chen was speaking in a low voice as if he purposely did that to prevent the girls from hearing the conversation between him and Jun Liu.
“What arrangement?”Jun Liu was lost.
“Fei Fei proposed that she and NaNa will take over my house, so I have to move over to your house. Don’t you think you should object to this?”
What came out from Wu Chen’s mouth was just unbelievable. The ruthless and mighty Wu Chen in the business world doesn’t have the heart to disagree to his future wife.
Jun Liu laughed out loud.
He wanted to tell Wu Chen that unlike a certain someone who was putty in his fiancée’s hand, he, Jun Liu, is someone who could properly state what he wants.
“Ah Jun” NaNa waved to Jun Liu. “We are neighbour. I can go to your house anytime I want”
Jun Liu was about to voice out his opinion but NaNa spoke again.
“We are all together again. It will be like the old time. You stay with brother, and I stay with Yi Fei. But now it was next door only”. NaNa was speaking excitedly.
“It’s like down memory lane. Don’t you think so?” Yi Fei added her remark.
Wu Chen looked at Jun Liu, as if challenging him to refute the girls but Jun Liu couldn’t really speak what’s on his mind. He doesn’t have the heart to ruin the girls’ happiness after they went through so much.
So, this is why Jun Liu had a bad feeling. His serene and quiet life won’t last long.
