The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 113

Su Ruan was already planning to buy a few of the sculptures. Hearing his words, Su Ruan let go of his hand leaned over to look at the few sculptures on the table. Each one of them was too adorable that she did not know which one she should choose.

At the side, Long Fei’s eyes grew warmer as he watched Su Ruan look at the dragon with a twinkle in her eyes. Seeing how she had touched the dragon with the tip of her fingers reminded him of the night he had spent with her.

He always visited her room at night in his small form. Then, Su Ruan would touch him the same way she had touched the dragon’s sculpture.

His eyes turned darker and he could feel his body turn warmer.

A strange feeling rose and traveled all over his body. It was something that he had never experienced before and it was making him restless.

However, he did not like these strange feelings.

The feeling only made him want to get close to her.

“What do you think of this one?”

Her question snapped him out of his thought. Long Fei looked at the few sculptures that she had chosen and smiled. “Not bad.”

“I think so too.” Su Ruan stood up straight and looked at the stall owner. “Boss, how much are these sculptures?”

After paying for the items, the two of them left the stall and continued to look for a place to eat. Su Ruan looked at the small sculpture in her hand with a faint smile on her face.

The more she looked at it, the more she missed her little dragon.

She could not help but wonder what he was up to these days.

“It seemed that you really liked the dragon’s sculpture,” Long Fei commented. He glanced at Su Ruan’s hand and wondered how he could find the chance to hold her hand in his again.

“Mmm… perhaps, after listening to your story, I began to take interest in the story,”

Long Fei laughed when heard her words. “Then, I’m glad.”

After walking around for a while the two of them finally arrived at the street where there were food stalls lining up.

Because they did not want to let anyone recognize Long Fei, the two of them chose to buy a few snacks that they could eat while walking around.

Following Long Fei’s lead, the two of them reached a higher part where they could get a clearer look at the firework show.

Fortunately, there were not a lot of people around the place. The two of them sat down on the ground and began to eat the snacks they bought earlier.

His gaze fell on her hand which was an inch away from his. If he move a little bit, their hands would be touching.

Long Fei looked away and chuckled. He wondered when did he become this hopeless. To think that he would seem this desperate just to touch her hand…

The longer he spent time with her, the more he would feel this way.

He did not know whether getting close to her was a good thing or not.

“Will this food be enough?” Long Fei asked. He needed to find another topic to divert his attention. “You didn’t get to have a proper meal because of me.”

“It’s fine. I had a heavy lunch earlier. It’s good to have something lighter. Besides…” Su Ruan flashed a smile. “Next time, you’re going to treat me to something delicious again, right?”

“I’ll make up for it.”

Now that he has a reason to ask Su Ruan out again, Long Fei would not waste this chance.

The firework show started almost midnight. The two of them watched the show that lasted for almost fifteen minutes and decided to leave the place before the crowd would build up.

Long Fei send her back to her grandpa’s orchard afterward.

Seeing that it was already late, Long Fei did not try to delay Su Ruan from returning home. After exchanging a few words, he then left.

Su Ruan heaved a sigh of relief as walked into the house.

Her face turned redder as she recalled how Long Fei had teased her about changing their relationship status. Calling him her boyfriend would be too much for her. Su Ruan did not think that she was ready for that change. After all, they did not know each other for a long time.

Fortunately, he did not mention this matter after Yu Zhi Yi had appeared.

Since she had made her decision to move forward and forget Yu Zhi Yi, Su Ruan wanted to keep things low and steady. She did not want to have any regret.

The moment she entered the house, Su Ruan noticed that someone was sitting in the living room. Her movement halted when she realized that it was her grandpa.

“You’re back.” Ma Hao Dong looked at his granddaughter with a serious look on his face.

Su Ruan had a premonition.

Usually, her grandpa would already be in bed by this time.

Taking a deep breath, Su Ruan walked over to her Grandpa’s side and spoke, “Grandpa, it’s getting late. Why are you not sleeping?”

A deep frown appeared on his face. “You still know that it’s getting late.”

Su Ruan flashed him an awkward smile. “Grandpa, I was walking around the town center. It was the first time that I visited the carnival. I lost track of time.”

“Did you have fun?”

“It was not that bad.”

Ma Hao Dong chuckled. His eyes grew stern as he looked at her. “I was at your eldest uncle’s place earlier to discuss a few matters about the orchard. And guess what? I ran into your cousin, Yu Xi. Apparently, the two of you were not together at the carnival. Your cousin returned earlier without you.”

Her scalp went numb. Su Ruan quickly figured out that her Grandpa had uncovered her plan with Ma Yu Xi.

She had thought that she could hide that she had gone out with Long Fei. However, it seemed that her grandpa had found out the truth and she was caught.

“Su Ruan, tell me… who was that person that send you back just now?”
