Chapter 1356: Her instinct remembered him.
Li Xue went into WeiWei's room to check the washroom but the bathroom there was especially custom designed, so it was difficult for her to use.So sighing in the end, she walked out of the room in search of someone to ask about the guest washroom or so. But not finding anyone in the corridor or anywhere around, she had no choice but to look around by herself.
Without her knowing, her feet grew minds of their own. She didn't realize but they led her to the room at the further corner of the corridor.
Standing out of the room, she stared at the door of the room blankly.
"This…" She didn't know why she was there. But she forced herself to believe it to be merely her instinct.
Standing out of the room, she doesn't know whether she should even go in or not. She looked around but still, there was no one around for her to ask.
In the end, she decided on her own. 'Since President Feng is in the study, there must not be anyone else around. So, even if this room turned out to be his, I would still have time to come out before he finds out. Wouldn't I?"
She thought and the next moment her hands reached out to the doorknob before twisting it to push it open.
The next moment the empty bedroom came into view. She blinked her eyes scanning around as she walked inside to check the room that was giving a familiar vibe to her.
Her eyes suddenly caught the sight outside the window that gave a beautiful view of the front garden.
As Li Xue walked forward to take a look she realized that it was the same room where Feng Shufen had stood and looked down at her, earlier in the morning.
'So, it's his room.' She mumbled in her head as she turned to look around for a better look.
All of a sudden the words of Feng Yi Lan rang in her years. And she took a sharp breath in while slowly mumbling to herself.
'If we really had a thing, shouldn't that mean that I must have been here before?' She thought to deny the thought but the more she thought about it the more she felt it to be believing.
Otherwise, what else could explain her familiarity with the place? And also the way she dodged every other room and came here straight as if this was not just her first time coming here.
Li Xue continuously looked around as if searching for clues but no matter wherever she looked, not even a single picture came into her vision.
She tried to recall her memories in order to get some clue but except for a pounding headache, she felt nothing.
"Argh!" She winced with slight agony when she felt the pain only increasing in her head. No matter how she massaged, it simply became unbearable.
In the end, she could only let go of her attempt of recalling the past. The doctors have refrained her from doing it, yet at times like this, she could simply not control herself.
"I think getting fresh would be better." She muttered to herself before walking in the direction of the washroom.
Pushing the door open, her mind at once eased. The headache seemed to be dissipating. She was taken aback by the change in herself, but then she realized the reason for it.
The fragrance that was wafting in the air.
It was different without any doubt. But at the same time affected her. Before she realized it, she has already started walking more inside to check.
There was a partition of a curtain in the mid separating the room into two halves. Just when she was about to slide the curtain to check the latter half, she slipped on her footing.
Li Xue grabbed the curtains in haste to prevent herself from falling but the sleek material only made it hard for her to get back on her footing.
Twirling around with the material, she was ready to brace herself for the fall when a strong arm snaked around her waist, pushing her to the wall and holding her still.
Li Xue's heart skip a beat when she realized what has happened. But before she could realize she was already sandwiched in between the man and the wall.
Her eyes slowly fluttered as the sturdy chest of the man came into her vision. Water droplets trickled down his skin while giving a sense of freshness to him.
She still remembers she has always been repulsive of foreign touches. And that was the reason why even living in the palace she had never allowed anyone to help her with intimate things like bathing and dressing up. But for some reason, today her proximity with the man seemed to not matter at all.
As her hands went to rest on his chest, she slowly looked up to match his gaze that had been looking down at her. She wanted to speak but the sight of his warm and gentle grey eyes just didn't let her.
Earlier, Feng Shufen came to take a shower so he could relax himself. But just when he was about to step out of the bathtub, he felt the door of the bathroom opening and someone getting in.
But before he could react she was already there. He quickly grabbed the towel to wrap down his waist before stepping out.
It took a while for him to calm his heart at the sight of her again coming to him. But then she was about to fall. Feeling the impact would be painful, he rushed forward to hold her but little did he expect himself to press her to the wall.
The action was intimate but he never wanted her to feel discomfort. Especially when she had no memories of them.
Thinking of that he was about to step back but the moment he thought, he saw her hand coming to rest on his chest, holding him close without even grabbing him.
Li Xue looked at him and their gaze locked for a moment. At that moment something flashed from her lost memories and before she could realize it, she tiptoed to press her lips onto his.
Feng Shufen stiffened at her action. But before he could react and push her, his body reacted by pulling her close instead.
The spark can't be missed. The kiss deepened and before they could understand they were twirling around the bathroom, kissing each other.
At a moment, Li Xue was snapped out from her trance. When she realized what she was doing, her cheeks flushed with redness. But not for once she thought to stop it. Rather she allowed it to go according to flow.
Her hands that were on his chest further went up to wrap around his neck before her fingers made their way to his hair.
"D-Did we have something before?" Li Xue asked suddenly when she felt him leaving her for a breather.
Feng Shufen stiffened. His gaze that had turned misty, cleared up and soon he understood where he was.
He looked down at her and his heart filled with inexplicable emotion. It felt like a dagger pierced into his heart making it tough for him to breathe.
Earlier kissing her, he almost felt like she had remembered him but in the end, it was just her instinct that remembered him not her.
Feng Shufen, who had known to be fearless, feared only losing her. He tried his best to not let that fear become the reality. But in the end, no matter what power he held over everything, he still wasn't able to stop her mind from wiping him off.
Li Xue saw the color of his eyes changing and disappointment filling his gaze. There was a pain in it but before she could ask him what that pain was about, he detangled himself from her and said, "Sorry, your clothes have become wet because of me. I will ask Sister Margaret to get you something fresh."
"But …" Before she could say more, he turned and left like everything from the moment before didn't happen.
The door of the bathroom closed after him. She was in half daze when she walked to the mirror to check herself.
For a moment she would have believed that nothing had happened but when she saw her reflection in the mirror, she could no longer be delusional.
Her amber pair shone as she saw her flushed cheeks. "So, Yi Lan was not saying it wrong. We did have something that I seem to have forgotten."
"And now I know whom I have to ask about it." She said to herself in the mirror as her gaze turned to look at the door from where he had earlier walked out.
Once Li Xue decided, she quickly got herself fresh before getting out of the bathroom. And as she was expecting the room was all empty.
