Chapter 4: Want to Run
Translator: NullTranslationGroup
In the darkness, it further stimulated people's sensitive nerves.
Knock, knock, knock, the door was knocked from the outside.
Yu Jia Wei, leaning against the door, was slightly startled, her eyes somewhat dazed as she slowly half-opened them, and a buzzing vibration from a phone came from inside the room.
The man answered the phone with one hand.
"Your takeout has arrived."
"Just leave it at the door."
The man hung up the phone, lowered his head, and kissed Yu Jia Wei's lips again, "Can you stand steady now?"
He supported Yu Jia Wei's waist, turned on the porch light, turned the doorknob with one hand, and brought in the takeout bag from the door.
The man was wearing very comfortable home clothes, with soft-soled hotel slippers on his feet.
The takeout bag was opened, revealing two boxed meals inside, a burst of aroma with scallion fragrance wafting through.
"I ordered one for you too."
Yu Jia Wei was somewhat surprised and blurted out, "You knew I was coming?"
The man slightly hooked his lips, "Whether I knew or not, you're already here."
Yu Jia Wei was momentarily speechless.
Even if she didn't come, it would just be a waste of a takeout meal.
"It's the century egg and lean meat porridge you like, try it."
The man slightly raised the corner of his eye, gazing at Yu Jia Wei.
Yu Jia Wei's breath suddenly hitched.
The man had a pair of very beautiful peach blossom eyes, affectionate and smiling when he smiled, but especially deep when he didn't, deep like the cold frost of a winter night.
"Then just keep me company, okay?"
The man's words seemed to carry an undeniable force, though with a rising intonation of inquiry, it felt more like a command.
The century egg and lean meat porridge was soft, glutinous, and sweet, Yu Jia Wei had a great appetite and ate more than half a bowl.
After eating, Yu Jia Wei collected the meal boxes and placed them at the door, then turned around to meet the man's burning gaze, couldn't help but tremble at heart, and avoided his eyes.
The man's lean waist leaned against the cabinet, "Shall we take a bath?"
Yu Jia Wei pursed her lips.
"You first, me first, or," the man pressed against his upper jaw, "together?"
"You first!" Yu Jia Wei hurriedly said.
"Are you sure you won't run?"
The man walked towards Yu Jia Wei with his long legs, unbuttoning the collar of his shirt with one hand, revealing his collarbone and a large area of smooth chest muscles.
The man leaned down, his lips brushing past the corner of her mouth.
"Wait for me to come out."
The man had a very pleasant smell on him, not perfume, not cigarette smoke, but fresh like ancient pine wood.
She moved her lips slightly, "Okay."
Yu Jia Wei stared at the closed bathroom door, listening to the sound of water coming from inside, her thoughts somewhat heavy.
It was also crazy to think, a month ago, after her divorce, she went to a bar to drown her sorrows, and pulled a man who was also drowning his sorrows to a room.
But at the last moment, she backed out.
The man was quite gentlemanly, they just exchanged WeChat IDs, not even real names.
Until... the day before yesterday.
With the first time, there came the second, the third.
Now, the situation was somewhat out of Yu Jia Wei's control.
Suddenly, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Yu Jia Wei suddenly came back to her senses.
Her eyes glanced towards the door, a thought of wanting to run sprouted in her mind.
Just as the bathroom door opened, she grabbed her handbag and stood up, meeting the man's gaze.
The man raised an eyebrow.
Yu Jia Wei: "I... I'm going to take a bath."
She passed by the man, smelling the scent of his shower gel.
The man's damp hand grasped her slender wrist, "Shall I help you?"
Yu Jia Wei slammed the bathroom door shut.
And with a click, locked it.
The man lowered his chin, shook his head with a smile, walked to the bedside table, bent down to bite a cigarette, and opened the drawer to get a lighter.
He glanced over, the smile in his eyes slightly faded.
