"Hmm?" He did not stop. "What's wrong?"
She did not speak but just shook her head gently.
Nothing. She just wanted to call his name like that...
She put her chin on his shoulder, her arms around his neck, and her legs swayed as he walked.
This was not the first time that they were so intimate. He hugged her before. But this time, because of her position, she could observe him recklessly.
His short and inky hair, his beautiful ears and neck, the smell of sandalwood and smoke on his body, was so clear in such a short distance, enticing all her senses.
"How long has it been? How long has it been since the last time someone has ever carried her like this?"
She's down in her memory lane, "Oh, it seems that the last time I was carried, it's more than ten years ago by my father."
Even if with Theodore Chao, her nominal fiancee later, he had never treated her like this.
She's touched and she wanted to cry. She had been tempted to shed tears several times tonight, in such a short period of two or three hours, all because of him.
For the first two times, she did succeed in forcing the tears back. But now, she made a vain attempt and her tears just fell down.
She didn't want to cry, but her tears didn't listen to her.
The moment before her tears fell, she was afraid that James would find out. She turned her head to one side and wiped her tears on her arm.
When the tears on her arms almost evaporated, she felt that she had regained her composure. Then, she opened her mouth and said, "Am I heavy?"
James snorted with a chuckle. "Yeah, as heavy as a pig!"
"..." She was not mad at him. She raised her lips and smiled silently. "Just now, thank you." If he hadn't come at that time, she would be in much worse shape now, right?
Her soft, waxy voice sounded good to James, who smiled. "You're welcome."
"..." She smiled again. "I... I don't feel so painful now. Why don't you put me down?"
"Good! "He said, but his arm, which was round her leg, drew in.
What a duplicitous guy!
"James..."
"What?" James's surprised.
