Then he said after a pause of a few minutes, "How could he?"
Then I said, "Yuan, be relaxed. I already told you that it's only me who created this fuss over it. It has nothing to do with that person. It's just that I am such an overreactive person," I said.
"No. No one has the right to touch my girl," he said in his slightly angry tone.
"Ooo, so my overprotective boyfriend is finally back?" I asked him in a way to lighten his mood and make him come out of his overly protective and possessive boyfriend mood.
But I don't think it was working. Then I cupped his face with both of my hands and made him look at me. He did. Then I said, "Ooo, my dear boyfriend Yuan Yuan, don't think like this. You know me, right? I am so much into you, you know that very well, so it's nothing to deal with in your overly protective mood. I hope my boyfriend understands what I am really trying to say to him," I said.
He nodded his head and it seemed like all his anger vanished away within a second. Then I said to him, "Yuan, you know how much I love you. Please don't get angry over these silly things," I said.
"How could I not? Tell me, how could I not? How couldn't I feel bad when someone else touched my girlfriend when I am not even here? And when I know how sensitive my girl is, that even if anyone else touches her except me, she doesn't feel right. How can I not get stressed about it? Tell me, silly girl, how could I not?" he asked me.
Then I looked down for a bit and said, "Yuan, thank you."
He immediately looked at me shockingly and said, "Thanking me so suddenly? What's the meaning of this?" he asked me.
"It means thank you, Yuan. Thank you for loving me. Your love is the only wish I had in my whole life and you are giving me that wish and making it true, so I just wanted to be grateful to you, really grateful, because I never thought of myself being loved by you ever. I never thought this highly of myself because deep inside the harsh reality, I know that you are a celebrity," I laughed a little while saying it with a pain of the difference between us and then continued, "Not an ordinary celebrity. My Yuan Yuan is the biggest C-drama actor in the industry and I am just an ordinary fangirl of him, nothing more, nothing less than that."
"And it's really not wrong to say that my whole personality starts with you and finishes with you. Before knowing you, I used to be Zhao Shiza, but since the day I saw you in that drama series of yours for the very first time in my life, I made myself Xu Yuan's Zhao Shiza. No matter if you accepted me or not, since then I made everything in myself about you. There is nothing left about me in myself. It's just you and you and forever you."
"And you know... you know I love you. You know, always. Even when we didn't even meet each other, I know you definitely had some kind of feeling or a pull inside yourself that made you think something strange happened. And that's my love. That's the time when I broke down and cried for you too hard. I know you felt something inside yourself every time whenever I cried for you. I know you definitely didn't know me then, but you definitely had some kind of strange feeling in you."
"And every time I asked God why He didn't make Yuan and me for each other, you know I always said that even if you are bad for me, then also I want my Yuan Yuan only," I said my whole Mr. Heart out to him, which I was holding back for so long.
He cupped my face and said, "My little one, my silly girl, you can cry as much as you want. Don't hold back your feelings. Just say it out. I don't want you to hold it back anymore. I know you have been holding it back for too long. Just let out each and every pain of those moments when this feeling kills you," he said and then hugged me.
"Yuan, I just want to cry... just cry," I said in my very low voice.
"Cry as much as you want. You have me, I have you. I'll hold you till my last breath like this only," he said while still hugging me protectively.
"And this is it. This is my most comfortable place in this whole world from where I don't want to go anywhere else," I said.
"Then stay here only, right here," he said.
"Yuan, you know what? My Mr. Heart always knew that I'll never have you in my whole life. I got so upset whenever I thought about it, but I didn't know how we got here. We came this long way together. I didn't even know how," I said while crying in between my sobs.
Then he said, "Then believe it that you have just fulfilled your dream."
"But it still seems like a dream," I said.
"Then if that's the thing, don't open your eyes ever from this dream, because it's not only because of you, it's because of me also," he said.
"Because in your dream, this Xu Yuan is living a life that he never even imagined he wanted. In this dream of yours, I met a girl who I didn't even ask for, but you suddenly appeared on my path and I couldn't help it. No matter how much I tried to ignore you, every single time I just got stuck with you. I think you were born for me in this world. You belong to me, and listen very carefully, I am not going to give you to anyone else ever, even if that anyone else is your Pa. Because you are made to be mine, just mine, just Xu Yuan's," he said.
He pressed his forehead against mine, closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them and said, "Let's get married."
I got shocked by his sudden confession. I didn't expect it from him this early. I never imagined that he himself would ask me about it.
"Yuan..." I said.
He smiled a bit and said, "What? Are you planning to run away or thinking twice about me? Then let me tell you this very clearly, I am not going to let you run away from me. You are stuck here with me, Miss Zhao, and you know me too well. I am Xu Yuan. I have my own hook or crook to make you stay with me, but those things really aren't required for you," he said and then whispered in my ears, "My eyes are enough to make you melt."
I lightly hit his arm and said, "Yuan, you started teasing me again."
"You are really worth teasing, and tell me if my teasing is that bad, then why are you blushing?" he asked me.
I said, "It's just that I put on too much blush today on my cheeks, nothing because of you. Don't overthink about yourself."
"Liar. Pretty now I can easily catch your lies, so you didn't remain that much of a pretty liar anymore. You have loosened that quality now," he said.
"Yuan..." I said.
Then he laughed and held my hands, interlocking his fingers with mine, and said, "I want to meet your Pa."
I looked at him a little shockingly because I knew that the situation wasn't right for him to meet Pa. My Pa is sending me on blind dates and he doesn't like him. If he meets him now then I don't even have any idea how Pa is going to react, but how could I tell all this to him? I thought this in my mind.
Then he said, "Again lost somewhere? I think I should rename you as Lost Girl," he said.
I smiled and said...
