The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 127

Su Ruan starred at the man in front of her with a dazed expression. She was still in disbelief that Long Fei was standing before her. Still, she stepped aside and watched as he walked in.

His scent wafted into her nose as he walked past by, Su Ruan finally realized that she was not imagining things. She snapped out of her trance and walked over. “Long Fei?”

“Hmm?” He turned around to face her.

“What are you doing here?” She knew that she was supposed to meet him. However, this was still too early before their appointment.

Moreover… he said that he was going to wait outside the orchard.

Why was he in her room?

“How did you get here?” Su Ruan asked.

“Your grandpa invited me in. Then, your grandma let me come over. She said you were working on your article and I can find you in your room.”

Her eyes widened. She did not expect that her grandma would let Long Fei to her room. Could it be that her grandma now knew a little bit about her relationship with Long Fei? Otherwise, she would not let him come upstairs to her room, right?’

This felt unreal. It couldn’t be that she was too sleepy that she was imagining things, right?

Su Ruan walked over to him and stretched her hand to poke at his arm. Then, she quickly retracted her hand, finding that person is real.

However, before she could pull her hand away, the man had already grabbed her hand. He looked at her with a pair of sad eyes and asked, “Su Ruan, can I hug you?”

“Ah?” Su Ruan thought that she made a mistake by looking into his eyes. Without understanding why Su Ruan nodded.

Just like that, she was pulled into his embrace. Because of their height difference, her nose was pressed against his chest. His fresh scent entered her nose and Su Ruan did not dare to move.

Her cheek flushed. Su Ruan realized that this was the first time that she had faced a situation such as this. It seemed that she had never hugged anyone intimately like this. They were too close to each other.

After a few seconds has passed but Long Fei made no move to let her go. Su Ruan seemed to recall that she did not close her door after Long Fei had walked in.

If her mother or anyone from her family walked past by, then they would notice what was going on in the room.

“Just a few more seconds.”

Long Fei spoke before she could make any move to pull out of his embrace. Su Ruan could only bite her lips he tightened his arms around her body. Her heart raced. She found that she did not dislike this hug. In fact, hugging like this felt comfortable.

However, Su Ruan could not help but worry about him. She wondered what was going on with this man. He wasn’t like his usual self. He looked a little… fragile.

From the first time she met him, Long Fei was someone who always kept his composure. She would never think that she would see him with that sad look on his face.

A minute later. Long Fei finally loosened his hold around her waist. He took a step back and lowered his gaze as he adjusted his mood.

Hugging Su Ruan made him feel a lot better. With how the way she could make him feel, how could Long Fei even consider the elders’ suggestions?

What his father had given him was not a choice. He only wanted to please the elders without thinking of what he wanted.

“Are you in a bad mood?”

Su Ruan’s question snapped him out of his thought. Long Fei looked at the girl in front of her and wondered if she knew what he was feeling, just like how he would know whenever she was upset.

The last time Su Ruan was upset, he had made it rain.

Long Fei chuckled to ease up the mood. When he looked up again, his lips were stretched up into a teasing smile. “Well, I already felt better after hugging you.”

Su Ruan pursed her lips into a thin line.

Perhaps she was mistaken earlier.

How can he be in a bad mood?

Since this man could still flirt with her, his mood shouldn’t be that bad, right?

However, as she recalled his sad eyes looking at her, Su Ruan decided not to mind this matter that much. He definitely wanted to hide his feelings. Since he is not willing to say it, then she shouldn’t be a busybody and ask.

Su Ruan was about to invite him to sit down for a while when she noticed that her room was too messy. Moreover, because she was not expecting anyone to come over to her room, Su Ruan had let a few private items around the room. Her undergarments were hanging on the chair…

Su Ruan sucked in a deep breath, wondering what she should do.

Of course, she was unaware that Long Fei was used to seeing this scene. After all, he had entered her room and had even spent a few nights with her.

Su Ruan began to look around in panic. It was too late to pick up everything. Long Fei would notice her movement and see what she do.

Her body moves to cover the item from his gaze.

Her gaze fell at her laptop on the table and spoke, “Do you want to go out earlier?”

Long Fei pondered over her suggestion and quickly agreed. “Is that alright?”

Su Ruan nodded. “It’s fine. I almost finished my writing anyway. Then…” Su Ruan pointed to the door. “Why don’t you head downstairs while I go and get change?”

Long Fei looked at the girl and wondered if she was trying to drive him away. Looking at her expression, he decided not to bring up this matter.

“Then, I will wait for you downstairs?”

Su Ruan nodded enthusiastically. “Go ahead.. I will meet you downstairs as soon as I’m done changing.”
