The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 147

After exchanging a few words with Long Fei, Su Ruan went into the bedroom to unpack. She looked at the bed in the middle of the room and hesitated.

The bed looked very comfortable and inviting but Su Ruan did not know whether she could sit on this bed. Everything looked very expensive.

After a brief hesitation, Su Ruan finally decided to sit down on the bed. Her eyes lit up upon feeling the mattress bounce. Su Ruan spread her hands and finally leaned back on the mattress.

A long, heavy sigh escaped her lips.

It felt as if once she sleep on this mattress, she would never want to leave this mattress. It was the first time that she had laid on the mattress this comfortable.

Su Ruan took a few photos of her room and posted them over her moments. Then, she texted her mother and reported that she had arrived.

Just in time, her phone buzzed. Su Ruan looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her friend, Lin Qing.

Her lips curved into a smile. Su Ruan swiped her finger on the screen and pressed the phone to her ear. “Lin Qing, hello.”

“Su Ruan, you have reached Capital City? Where are you staying? Why is the hotel room look so pretty?”

Su Ruan coughed. “Well, that…”

“Don’t tell me that Yu Zhi Yi is kind enough to book you such a pretty place?”

“Of course not. This…” Su Ruan really did not know how to explain to her friend about Long Fei. She had not mentioned that she had recently got herself into a relationship.

Su Ruan took a deep breath and spoke, “Well then, I’ll tell you when we meet.”

Lin Qing clicked her tongue. “Su Ruan, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, but you’re getting meaner. You know that I’m not in around in Capital City and still wanted to keep a secret from me.”

“How long are you going to be away? I’m going to stay in Capital City for two weeks. You will be able to return to Capital City in time, right?”

“Two weeks? You are going to stay that long?”

“Un… After Zhi Yi’s wedding, my former editor planned to introduce me to a few people.”

“Then, that’s great. Su Ruan, you wait for me. There are a lot of things I wanted to ask you. Don’t think that you can return to D Town before you answer all my questions.”

Su Ruan laughed. She could not help but wonder how would Lin Qing react once she introduced Long Fei to her later.

The two of them chatted for a while before they disconnected.

When Su Ruan looked at her phone again, she had already received a few notifications from her Moment’s post. A few friends liked her post and asked where she was staying.

Su Ruan replied to them without disclosing her whereabouts before she put her phone aside.

She stared at the ceiling and was about to fall asleep when someone knock on the door.

Su Ruan stood up quickly and walked over to the door. As soon as she opened the door, Long Fei’s smiling face appeared in front of her.

Although she already knew that Long Fei was staying next door, it was a little surprising to see him appear in front of her.

Her heart skipped a beat. Su Ruan raised her hand awkwardly and started to wave at him. “Hi.”

The man chuckled at her reaction. “Have you finished unpacking? Lunch is ready. Do you want to eat?”

Su Ruan was about to speak when her stomach grumbled, giving away her reply. Her cheek turned a little red and Su Ruan started to mutter a few silent curses.

“Then, I’ll wait for you in the dining room.”

“Uh-huh.” Su Ruan nodded. She watched as the man turned around and closed her door again. She leaned on the door and put both hands on her cheek. Her eyes were shut tightly as she bore with the embarrassment.

It took her a while before she calm down. Su Ruan took a few deep breaths and headed out to the dining area. The space was quite big that it could fit around ten people at the same time.

She peeked at the dishes on the table and started to salivate.

“Come on, have a seat.” Long Fei pulled the chair for her before he took the seat next to her.

The two of them began to eat their meal and Long Fei eased the atmosphere between them by discussing their plans in Capital City.

However, after discussing them for a while, Long Fei realized that Su Ruan really had her schedule packed. Other than acting as her friend’s best woman, she still has to meet a few friends and discuss her work matter.

Su Ruan was in the middle of explaining her writing job when she noticed that Long Fei was staring at her with a strange gaze. She put down her cutlery and looked up. “What’s wrong?”

Long Fei pursed his lips and give them a brief thought. “I just have this thought.”

“You say.”

“Su Ruan, we… are a couple, right?”

She stared at him, with eyes unblinking. The word, ‘couple’ made her heart flutter. “Right.”

“Then, since we are considered on our break, shouldn’t we make plans together? Going on a date and such.”

Su Ruan considered his words and thought that they make a lot of sense. While they were in D Town, they often sneak around to have a date.

Now that they were in Capital City together, shouldn’t they take this advantage to date and get to know each other well? Didn’t she promise herself that she will give herself a chance and move on from Yu Zhi Yi? It can’t be that she’s planning to treat him to a meal and not do any couple activities together, right?

She couldn’t stay in Capital City and busy herself with her matters and not care about him or their relationship.

“Then…” Su Ruan bit her lips as she hesitated. “What do you think we should do? Do you have any place to go?”

Long Fei smiled. “Then, how about I make some plan for us and tell you later? Su Ruan, will you be able to free your time and go on a date with me?”

Su Ruan straightened her back. “I’ll definitely free my time.”

Long Fei chuckled at the way she acted. He watched as she picked up her cutlery again and started to nibble on her food.

Her interaction with Yu Zhi Yi earlier suddenly came to his mind.

Long Fei was curious about their relationship and wanted to ask her about it, but these were not something that he could ask at the moment.. In the end, he could only lower his gaze to suppress the curiosity.
