Chapter 191 - A Sunset

Slowly and tenderly, Ah Hai released the bindings on her wrists, rubbing them gingerly to avoid getting their skin marked. He placed a small kiss in each wrist as he threw the bindings to join the rest of the tattered clothes on the cabin's floor. Shi Ai opened her dewy eyes and looked up at her husband before repeating their words,"I really do love you Ah Hai. Only you.!

Ah Hai looked down at Shi Ai with a pleased smile on his face answering,"And I love you.."

Kissing her again, Ah Hai sat up and moved to cover Shi Ai with a blanket.

The moment his back was turned however, caused Shi Ai to suck in a shocked and pained breath.She had not noticed this before and even seeing it now made her tear up as she cried out.Surprised at the sudden cry,Ah Hai turned around only for Shi Ai to see another bandage onthe side of his waist. He was wounded!He had just woken up two days ago and was already running around helter skelter!Scowling at her sudden melancholy,Ah Hai went back to her side and collected her in his arms,"Are you hurt somewhere?Was I too rough?" This care and concern made Shi Ai frown even more and cry harder.He Was always so careful that she would get nary a scratch from him and he had suffered so many wounds all because of her.And to top it all,instead of recovering and resting from these wounds,he was doing all this for her. She was a selfish jerk!She really was.!

Fearfully winding her arms around his waist lest she hurt him,Shi Ai cried all the more and let out a shudder when Zhang Min's words that Ah Hai's heart had stopped on the operation table resonated in her mind.Gingerly placing her ear against his c.h.e.s.t,she heard his strong heartbeat,feeling reassured.

Finally understanding her reaction,Ah Hai shook his head in exasperation and murmured,"Little one,Don't shed your tears for this.These wounds are my reassurance that I still have you. It is better me than you!"

Shi Ai moved her back to scowl at this illogical reason but he put his fingers on her lip and said,"Shi Ai,you are the only one I breathe for and if that bullet had touched you I would have been the one dead so it is better this way.It is just a small wound not enough to make you cry.So,be my good girl and wipe your tears.Don't let the outside world ruin out little coccoon.."

Wiping her tears tenderly he picked up a tissue and wiped her snotty nose making her laugh as he made gagging faces. Looking down at the tattered gown on the floor,Shi Ai wanted to ask him what was the point of dressing up so much but could only blush as Ah Hai walked away.Only when he was out of the room,did her tears start to fall again.What if she had lost him? He was the only one who she had loved.If she was his reason to live then he as hers.She would lose herself.Getting up,Shi Ai made her way to the washroom and reshened up. Walking out in a robe she saw a beautiful black c.o.c.ktail dress laid on the bed.Wanting to please him.Shi Ai put on the dress and walked out to the deck,admiring the beautiful ship.It was a gleaming beauty and the setting sun's rays made it look beautiful.Going to the railing,she forgot her initial goal of finding Ah Hai and leaned against the e of the railing.They were in the middle of the big blue sea and the ship sailed against the waves smoothly.But what attracted her attention was the gleaming ball of fire that was setting. The atmosphere was strangely peaceful with only the sound of waves and air flowing around her and the day setting.It made her realize that the past had really come to an end.This thought brought a small smile to her face.

The next moment,Shi Ai was surrounded by a strong pair of arms and she leaned back into a muscular c.h.e.s.t.Resting his chin on her small shoulder,Ah Hai closed his eyes and breathed in deeply."This is so beautiful..Thank you for sharing it with me.."

"I wanted to share it with you.The first of many.Live them all with me."

Shi Ai smiled and repeated,"Yes.We will spend ever sunset together."Turning in the circle of his arms,Shi Ai looked up wound her arms around his neck.Going up on her tiptoes,Shi Ai pressed her lips against his,pouring all her feelings into the kiss. After a while, the two lovers stayed in each other's arms as they stared at the beautiful sun set and the stars begin to twinkle softly in the night sky.

The romantic silence was, however broken by a loud growl, causing Shi Ai to give an embarrassed groan and bury herself in his shoulders and Ah Hai to chuckle softly. Fl.i.c.k.i.n.g her nose,"Hunger Strikes!Come, follow me down, let us fill you up before we go on the next leg of our tour."Ah Hai held her hand and led the way to another small cabin. Dim lighting and the small flowers decorated the room giving it a classical romantic feel. Shi Ai felt her heart bloom. She had never expected her husband to be able to do all this. He had always been a silent lover but now it was as if he was wooing her. But Ah Hai being Ah Hai could never totally be cheesy. So instead of pulling out a chair for her to sit, he let go of her hand and plopped on the chair in front of the table. Totally unlike a gentleman making Shi Ai pout woefully. A minute later Shi Ai almost lost her cool when she realized that there was no chair on the opposite side. It was only as she frowned in question, did Ah Hai, pull her forward into his l.a.p."What is the point of preparing all this if I cannot even hold you close for an evening. I don't want anything between us, not even this table."

Shi Ai wondered if smiling so much could be considered an exercise as she was pretty sure the only time her lips were not stretched in a smile was when they were kissing... Wriggling to get a hot comfortable in his l.a.p, Shi Ai enjoyed the entire meal of dumplings, fried chicken and flat noodles while sitting on his l.a.p,which he served her every bite. His gaze followed every movement of her lips making her realise that all this was like foreplay. After a few morsels, she asked him why he was not eating, to which he picked up a dumpling and brought it to her mouth,"I want you to feed me."

Obediently, opening her mouth to accept the dumpling, Shi Ai then tried to take the only set of of chopsticks from him which he refused, pointing to her mouth first and then his.

Realizing his intent, Shi Ai widened her eyes and shook her head forcefully in denial, swallowing the dumpling in her mouth. The next moment, her lips touched the juicy chicken and the moment her mouth was opened to accept the offering, Ah Hai's lips closed over hers as he stole the chicken and a kiss. Finally, Shi Ai and Ah Hai finished off their meal though they would have no idea what they are if someone were to ask them.

Shi Ai could not help but squirm when she started to feel the presence of something that was not there earlier but was now making itself insisting known while her squirming caused Ah Hai to take action. Picking up his wife in his arms, he moved to their bedroom and continued from where they had left off.

A long while later, Shi Ai lay on her stomach with her n.a.k.e.d body covered under the blanket and sighed,"I don't want to go back. I wish we could stay here.."

Ah Hai opened his eye and looked at his woman. Deciding she was too far from him for his liking, he pulled her so that there was no space between them and said,"Who said we are going back?I have kidnapped you. Do you think you are going to get off easily?I have more in store for you.And now, it is time to sleep, we have an early morning tomorrow."

But Shi Ai had perked up at this and was thinking of ways to get him to tell her the surprise when she heard Ah Hai say,"If you are not too tired, we can continue what we were doing. I find that activity utterly relaxing as well."Ah Hai caught her wrist and moved it lower slowly, causing Shi Ai to shriek and close her eyes before muttering,"Sleep sleep."
