Mark Of The Destiny - Chapter 314

“Are you two…????” Suyin pointed between Hong and Zeng,

Zeng, “NO NO NO…. ”

Fei Hong, “NO NO NO….”

They both looked at each other awkwardly. Faces flushed.

“But weren’t you two fighting?”

“He apologized,” Hong said, “Anyway everything happened under the effects of hypnotism, not his fault.” Zeng nodded like a pecking chicken.

“A…. so shweetttt.” Suyin teased, “Why are you the first person who my brother contacted the moment we rescued him?” Suyin glared at Zeng. “Don’t tell me you called mom and dad. I already spoke to them.”

Hong sneaked a glance at Zeng who was looking everywhere but at his sister, “B-because I’m his friend and was helping him since day one.”

Suyin, “AWWW… Soooo sweeeettttt! Friend helping from day one! A friend who made every effort to find her lost soulmate— cough—friend mate! A friend who crossed a continent the moment another friend was rescued! A friend who came to talk to the stubborn sister just like a sister-in-law—cough– a friend! Just a friend! A friend!”

Zeng, ????

Hong, ????

Zeng kneeled down at Suyin’s wheelchair and pressed her knees. “Susu, please. Have some mercy. Spare me.”

She giggled, scaring Zeng. He knew the worse was about to come. “Are you sure about him?” Zeng dropped his face on Suyin’s l.a.p. “Please double-check. Though I love my brother, he’s one hell of an irritating creature. Getting him in life is like herding a cat or pushing a rope uphill. Come to me some other time, I’ll list out his habits. One of them is sleeping with dirty socks under the pillow–”

Zeng closed Suyin’s mouth. “Enough. Spare me some dignity.”

Suyin raised her finger, but Zeng pressed his palm firmly, forbidding her from revealing any more embarrassing stuff.

From the corner of her eyes, Suyin noticed a military vehicle stop and a military officer in a white uniform embarked from it. Feng Jin.

Their gaze met, and she averted hers. Her mood dropped. She nudged at Zeng’s arms, asking him to let her go.

“Take me to the room. I’m tired.”

At dinner, Honey insisted to eat with both and arranged a setup where the three can share a meal in Wang Shi’s room. Suyin thought she’d be free to go back to her room after dinner, but once again the little one made a demand.

“Please…” Honey batted his eyes innocently. “I want to sleep just how we used to sleep in the lounge.” He was getting bolder in demands. Sometimes headache.

“Be good. The bed is not spacious enough to accommodate the three of us. And with your dad’s injury, we can’t afford to sleep anywhere near him considering—” she rubbed her nose, “–considering your bad sleeping habit.” More than Honey, she feared her own sleeping habits. Kicking being most common.

“I AM NOT SLEEPING–”

“Ah, come come come–” Honey steered to the door. Suyin looked behind, freezing at the sight of a hospital bed being rolled inside by two nurses. “Make sure the two join properly. I asked for a pillow and a king-size blanket as well. Yes, that one. Keep ducky–cough–mom’s meds on the table. Thank you. You may go.” Honey turned to Suyin, beaming like a bulb. “Problem solved!”

Wang Shi, “Problem solved!”

Suyin rolled her eyes up. ‘God–‘

God, “Problem solved!”

…

Honey jumped to Wang Shi’s right side and adjusted the pillow. He winked, mouthing. ‘I’m the best.’ then he sprawled flat near his father, careful not to touch him. “Ducky, what are you waiting for? Christmas!”

Suyin hit her fist on the armrest. Helpless. “Waiting for God,” she murmured.

“He won’t come.” Honey offered his hands to help Suyin get on the bed, smiling, ‘I have my setting with him.’

“Huh?”

“Nothing.” Suyin made herself comfortable and pulled on the blanket, still murmuring, “Just pray I don’t die soon, you’re going to be the first person whom I’ll fry in hot oil the moment I land at your place.”

God closed the door to his room. ‘Not allowed’

Honey propped his body up , “Are you talking to me?”

“SLEEP.”

“Ah, I forgot to give goodnight kiss. It’s a must.” He leaned to kiss Suyin and then Wang Shi; instantly wiping his lips, sticking out a tongue. “Porcupine, you have become,”

Wang Shi “…”

“ARE YOU TWO SLEEPING OR NOT?”

Wang Shi and Honey instantly pulled the blanket above head. Body as stiff as a log.

“What’s wrong?”

“Pillow. Trying to get into a comfortable position.” He let out few more groans, trying to adjust his sleeping position. Suyin propped her upper body across from Honey, crushing the little one in the process.

“Let me do it,”

Dived inside the blanket, Honey let out a breath, his eyes protruding out comically. ‘Ducky, did you forget I’m sleeping between you two? Argh, so heavy…. my poor body…. my bones…. Dad, I hate you!’

Her fragrance, her face up so close, Wang Shi couldn’t help but be lost. He licked his lips; Suyin’s were just an inch away. She was close yet so far. As if realizing, she rose her eyes up.

His eyes radiating longing, love, d.e.s.i.r.e, need, passion, and pain. A series of images flashed through her mind, reminding her of their beautiful moments and ones that happened at the cliff. She had almost lost him. Something aches inside her.

Right at that moment, she felt his hand sliding from her cheek to the back of her head. Unable to fight against the will to move away, she closed her eyes. Feeling a soft touch on her forehead another moment.

“Thank you, Suyin. Thank you for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” and then he let her go, leaving her puzzled.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow?
