Chapter 32 - Lesson

The sun was already out and streaming across the gray toned bedroom when Davi opened her eyes. She felt like her eyes were heavy so she spent some moments yawning and blinking not realizing that she was hugging someone.

The moment she decided to rise, her eyes widened and her sleeping nerves all jumped into chaos the moment she saw the situation. She realized she was hugging Sei with an arm and a leg, a very embarra.s.sing position, at least for her.

Her heart instantly went wild but thinking that Sei might still be asleep, she forced herself to calm down. She still couldn't move her head for she was afraid she might wake him up. So after taking a quiet deep breath, she started moving. She slowly removed her leg, then her arm, as gently as she could. However, the moment she raised her head, she felt as though all her blood went up to her face. It was because Sei was already wearing his mask and that could only mean one thing - that he was already awake a long time ago. Did that mean that all this time, he was waiting for me to wake up?

Davi abruptly rose and straightened up as she put some distance between them and when she looked at the wall clock, her eyes widened as she stared at Sei.

"Yo-you're leaving again today, right?" she asked, partly panicked.

"Yes."

Sei's response caused Davi to tightly tug the blanket. Her face suddenly turned apologetic.

"I'm sorry…" she uttered as she bit her lip. She knew that Sei always left early yet it was already past ten o'clock in the morning! Did he really wait for me to wake up? Why did he not just wake me up?

"No, it's okay. I'm not rus.h.i.+ng."

"R-really?"

"Yes."

Hearing the man's rea.s.surance, Davi finally smiled and sighed with relief.

However, truth was that, Sei only woke up just an hour ago. This was even later than the last time causing him to finally conclude that this girl in his embrace was actually d.a.m.n so contagious.

He was aware they were already very late but he learned the lesson from last time that Davi would wake up if he tried removing her hand or her leg. He thought back about her working hard and studying till late at night and he didn't have the heart to wake her up. Thus, he could only wait for her without moving until she woke up, not minding the guy at the other side of the door who was about to go nuts.

…

When Davi stepped out of her room, the butler told her that the two already left and that they would be back tomorrow. Davi could only think that it was her fault after all, but since she needed to go to Blue city again, she quickly wrapped up and left the house as well.

After a tiresome day, Davi went straight to the new luxurious apartment in Sky Town where her brother moved in after he was released from the hospital. It was actually the apartment that Mr. Chen talked about when her brother was in the hospital. The first time she went there, she couldn't believe it so she tried talking to Mr. Chen about it, but the man told her the apartment was already under her name. The apartment was simply too much; her head ached just by thinking about the cost of such a place.

However, she couldn't do a thing. She knew she had no right to refuse either, since it was already in the contract.

The moment the door opened, Davi hugged her little brother right away, squeezing him like he was a white little pillow. "Haru… I missed you."

"I missed you too, sis. Will you be staying here tonight?"

"Mm. Look here, I bought a hotpot for us. Let's have a feast, just the two of us. Haha."

"Wow, I love that. Brings back memories."

"Haha. You're right. Come! Let's prepare it fast."

The two siblings then went to the kitchen and started cooking happily. They talked to each other as though they were best friends who were separated for years and were suddenly given a chance to finally chat.
