Mo Yuan didn't talk much. Seeing that Han Luo was quiet, he also stayed silent.
The two of them enjoyed each other's warmth and presence while enjoying the scenery in front of them.
Mo Yuan strolled around one kilometer with her on his back. He didn't know why but he had fun. He felt that his heart was in peace.
There was a faint smile hung on his lips without his knowing.
They went back to the cottage at around six in the evening. The sun had yet to set.
He put her down on the couch and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Han Luo lowered her eyes and shook her head.
How could she have the stomach to eat or digest anything?
She had already forgotten what hunger was.
Mo Yuan stated, "How can that be? You are already feeling so weak that you cannot even walk properly. You must eat something. Let me cook you something simple."
He went to the kitchen and checked the freezer. He only found juices, beers, and ice cream.
He called the hotel manager and asked for fresh salmon. When they delivered salmon, he cooked smokey fried salmon and served it on the dining table.
Whenever he, Han Sheng Ming, and Tang Yujin went out for hiking and stayed in the woods for a couple of days, they would be out fishing and hunting and they learned how to cook them.
After serving the dishes, he turned around to bring Han Luo but stopped when he saw her standing beside the door.
He smiled at her and said, "Come, dinner is ready."
Han Luo slowly came closer. She wasn't sure if she could smell the food.
Mo Yuan casually took her hand in his. He did it out of habit. However, he didn't imagine and Han Luo's body will sway the moment he could touch her.
When he held her hand, Han Luo felt another wave of current flowing inside her body and it made her body powerless in a second. Her ears were buzzing and her stomach was crunching.
'What is happening to me?' she wondered. It was almost like she had no control over her body. Her emotion had overpowered her body.
Furthermore, the moment she realized her feelings for Mo Yuan, all of a sudden his body turned into an electricity holder. His touch was making her go numb every time. She didn't know how to react to that.
"Careful! Ah Luo, you seem ill. I'll call dad to come to fetch us as soon as possible," Mo Yuan announced.
Her behavior was making him scared. He didn't know what was happening and she wasn't opening up to him. He was deeply worried about her body condition.
"N-no need," Han Luo quickly disagreed. "I'm fine. I want to eat." She wanted to distract him.
"Okay, let me feed you then," Mo Yuan agreed. He helped her to sit on a chair. Then, he dragged another chair beside her and sat there.
'I'm not weak! It's you who are making me like this!' Han Luo wanted to protest but no word came out.
He was so close to her. It made her nervous. Her face heated up and her heart was racing. She couldn't taste the delicious food no matter how hard she tried to concentrate on the smokey fried salmon.
Later, Mo Yuan wiped her mouth and carried her to the bedroom. When he was about to place her on the bed, Han Luo hurriedly said, "I don't want to go to bed."
Mo Yuan paused and questioned her, "What do you want to do then? You need some rest. Take a nap. I'll wake you when dad arrives."
"No, I want to sit on the rocking chair," she pointed at the wooden rocking chair that was kept in the balcony.
"All right then," Mo Yuan took her to the balcony.
Han Luo finally relaxed her body thinking she would be able to calm her heart now but her wish as just a wish.
Mo Yuan sat on the chair and put her on his lap. He placed her in a comfortable position and slowly rocked the chair. His fingers played with hair and brushed over her soft, supple cheek.
"…" Han Luo didn't have a clue about how to react.
She avoided going to bed because she didn't want to sleep in the same bed with him. Her heart couldn't take that blow.
If they were going to sit intimately on the rocking chair, wouldn't it be better to sleep on the bed?
At least they would have some space between them.
Mo Yuan wasn't used to her quietness. For some reason it made him feel empty. He cupped her face with his right hand and peck on her forehead.
He noticed that Han Luo's body trembled when he kissed her. He helplessly asked, "Ah Luo, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Are you upset about anything I did? Or is it that you didn't like this commercial?"
Han Luo felt guilty that she made him worried because of her selfishness.
She took a deep breath and hugged his neck. She buried her head on his broad chest and responded with a soft voice, "No, big brother Yuan did nothing wrong. I cannot explain it to you now. I don't know what's wrong with me either. Big brother Yuan, hold me tightly, all right?"
"Okay, I will hold you tightly," Mo Yuan whispered. He enfolded her closely in his arms.
The chair kept rocking. With his warmth and his fingers going through her hair, Han Luo's eyelids became heavy and without her knowing, she drifted to dreamland.
Mo Yuan noticed after some time that she fell asleep. He gazed at her warmly.
He couldn't get enough of her cuteness, sweetness, and spiciness. She was too dear to him.
'How am I going to live without your presence?' he wondered thoughtfully.
