Chapter 45: Morning Breath
45 Morning Breath
Xin Yong opened her eyes to a beautiful morning. She lay there on the bed watching the sun rise from the east.
Standing up, she faced an entirely different environment. It was not after about thirty seconds that she remembered that she was in Jin Yue's home.
Looking down at what she wore, she stared at the oversized shirt that reached almost half way her thighs.
She sniffed the shirt, it smelt of Jin Yue, even though he had said he hadn't worn it for the first time. Maybe it was kept with other of his shirts.
She was tempted to sniff it again, but anytime she did so, she felt like doing it again.
Laughing at her foolishness, she sat back on the bed, wondering how she would wash her mouth and even change her undies.
Almost immediately, she heard a knock on the door, she sprang up abruptly and made for the door, quietly unlocking it, she pulled it open.
"Good morn.."
'Morning breath! '
Xin Yong instinctively covered her mouth as she stared Jin Yue. Her face flushed red in embarrassment and she took two steps backwards.
Jin Yue was able to see her full stature, he accessed her from head to toe, she looked like a shy baby inside a cradling towel.
'The shirt did suit her though'
Jin Yue chuckled a little and handed her about three bags. She shifted her gaze from his face to the bags and stared at them confusingly.
"They are for you, ...something to change into.."
Smiling, Jin Yue explained.
She thanked him and quietly took the bags from him.
"When you are through, come out for breakfast"
Jin Yue said with a smirk on his face, Xin Yong remembered that she was putting on his shirt and blushed more. She instinctively moved to the door, closing it abruptly after murmuring a quick thank you.
.....
"Oh my God!, he even bought undies, woah!!, this is so embarrassing " Xin Yong fell on the bed and covered her face out of shyness when she went through the things in the bag.
He bought her clothes, this time a very fitting one that covered all seductive parts of her body, flat comfy shoes of different sizes since he didn't know her size. Undies, tooth brush; there was toothpaste in the bathroom so he didn't buy any.
Creams, beauty oils, hair comb, hair oil, make up kit!.
Since he didn't know the ones she used, he bought different varieties.
'He virtually bought a whole supermarket!'
Xin Yong sighed softly, how could he be this good without asking for anything?, he must surely want something. Something everyman wanted.
Something she couldn't give.
She sat on the bed and picked up the bra he bought, she gently removed it from the package and checked the size.
'He even got her bra size!, did he access her so thoroughly to even get her bra size accurately?'
She was amused but at the same time sad.
Sad that he might be fake in the end.
Thinking about it, she knew she couldn't pay for anything on that bed. Her yearly allowance wasn't even enough to pay for half of those items.
She wanted to reject them, but what would she do, she didn't have anything to wear. So her only choice was to accept it heartily and thank him thereafter.
....
Xin Yong arranged the room properly after dressing up. She put back the items she didn't make use of inside the bag and the ones she had used, she placed them on the dressing table and stepped out of the room.
She also didn't take the dinner dress he had bought, she hung it in the wardrobe, the shoes on the shoe rack, picking up her phone, she stepped out of the room.
Jin Yue was placing the dishes on the dining table, an apron tied around his waist. He rolled up his sleeves and beads of sweat was dripping from his hair.
Xin Yong smiled and walked over to help him out.
"You can cook? " She asked as they sat on the table. Jin Yue wanted to serve them, but she took the spoon first and served both of them.
"No, haha, I just read from a cooking manual, I normally eat outside, and I can count the number of times I prepared something myself. Seven out of ten must be when I made noodles"
