Chapter 379 - Hold Your Hand
They had so many pointless fights that even they had lost count of it but looking back... All of that was now just a part of their journey filled with bittersweet memories and the journey they would call a love story.
"I feel like loving you is the second best thing I ever did."
Yang Ziyi looked up at him and asked, "Second? Then what about the first?"
Wu Wang rubbed her hair making them a mess as he said, "The first was always getting into a fight with you."
She furrowed her brows while trying to untangle her hair, "How is that the best thing?"
Wu Wang leaned a bit to look into her eyes and added, "If we hadn’t fought that much, do you think we would have been here?" Yang Ziyi smiled as she realized he was right. "Also, wasn’t it just our luck that no matter how much we ran, we always ended in front of each other."
Yang Ziyi got on her tippy toes and planted a firm yet sweet kiss on his forehead and whispered, "Took us long enough, didn’t it?"
Wu Wang took her in his arms again and with his chin rested on her head said, "The journey was indeed long but it was worth it. After all, that long journey still led us to each other."
Drawing circles on his chest with the tip of her index finger, she said, "It took you long enough to notice me. I was always there, you just never noticed."
With a bitter smile, he replied, "Indeed... I wasn’t looking." Perhaps, unconsciously he really was a firm believer of once bitten twice shy. Otherwise, how would he have not noticed this blockhead doctor all along? "By the way, what would you have done if I really wanted to break up?"
With a sly smile, she answered, "I would have run back to my ex."
"What?" Wu Wang glared at her with rage.
"What?" She retorted innocently and added, "Would you let me go back?"
Wu Wang narrowed his eyes at her dangerously and said, "Of course." Yang Ziyi frowned while he went on, "I would even help you look for him. So, I can run into him."
"Run into him to see who’s your competition?"
"Nope! To run into him with my car!" Yang Ziyi gulped down as she saw how serious he really was about this. She was speechless with his words.
Took her a moment to find words again as she tapped his head and said, "Then run over yourself!" Wu Wang quirked his brow inquiringly and she had to explain, "Because, after the breakup, you’d have been the ex!"
Realizing this small detail, Wu Wang grinned cheekily and rubbed the nape of his neck. "Then I won’t run over with my car."
"Oh? Why not? Why change your mind now?"
"Aiyo, my blockhead doctor, obviously for your sake."
"Mine? How?"
"Because if I got hurt, you’d cry and I don’t want that. I’m not that cruel."
His cheeky answer got him another punch in his stomach. He grunted while moaning, "See, you’re a wild woman!"
"So what? Don’t you just love this wild woman?" Yang Ziyi’s haughty reply stunned Wu Wang for a while and then an amused smile bloomed on his face.
"I certainly do." His eyes didn’t leave hers, not even for a second. Both of them didn’t know how long they had spent just staring into each other’s eyes before he spoke again, "Your eyes really make it hard for me."
"What?"
He pinched her cheek saying, "You have the most adorable eyes one could possibly fall for and it really makes it hard to turn away."
Yang Ziyi blushed furiously at his words and it was perhaps his second time seeing her like this. The first time would be when they shared their first kiss. It was seriously a huge thing making this dumb person blush.
"Now, I truly believe that dumb people have the best luck." Yang Ziyi frowned at his sudden change in words while he continued, "After all, how else we can explain that a blockhead like you found a handsome man like me."
She was about to his chest again while he laughed and held her hands in place saying, "Fine, fine. Sorry! We both are considered dumb in this case. Happy?"
"Whatever." Yang Ziyi said offhandedly and walked away.
Wu Wang caught up with her from behind and took her hand in his own saying, "I heard long walks are very interesting if you have someone to hold your hand along the way. Let’s try this theory."
Yang Ziyi heart swelled at his excuse to just hold her hand and she silently let him hold her hand without any complaint.
