Chapter 211 - You Are Dead

Zhang Min's hand patted at the side next to his on the bed but found only the cold bed. Slowly blinking his eyes open, he stared at the empty side in confusion. Zhang Min looked down at himself wondering if last night was a dream but the scratches on his c.h.e.s.t showed that it was not.

Getting up lazily from the bed, Zhang Min pulled the discarded pyjamas, pulling up the drawstring and going down the steps to look for his missing bed mate. He wondered what she was up to making guesses from her being shy and hiding from him or eating or cooking breakfast..brunch, he corrected himself.

What he had not expected was, her being hunched over a laptop screen while sitting on the couch. He slowed his steps as he tried to read what she was engrossed in. When he finally got a look, he almost snorted aloud alerting her to his presence.

On tiptoes, Zhang Min walked near the couch and snatched the laptop of out of her hands causing her to let out a startled scream. In the next moment, the laptop landed on the couch and Yang Mei was in Zhang Min's arms being kissed ruthlessly. After a long kiss, Yang Mei and Zhang Min came up for air, breathing hard. Looking into Yang Mei's eyes, Zhang Min said,"This is what you do after your first night. You should've asked me instead of looking it up!"

Feeling awkward at being caught looking for something so silly, Yang Mei flushed in embarrassment but attacked Zhang Min,"Of course I should've asked you since you are quite experienced."

Pushing him away, Yang Mei flounced out of the room towards the kitchen and planted herself on a chair, cursing Zhang Min under her breath.

Grinning broadly, Zhang Min followed his girl and almost had a apoplexy when he saw the state of the kitchen..It looked like an earthquake had occurred in the kitchen!Wisely deciding not to comment on it, Zhang Min once again pulled the pouting girl into his arms, pretending to be sniffing around,"Do I smell something sour?"

This made Yang Mei even more indignant and she tried to push him away but Zhang Min was not having it."I meant that we could have found out together.Its still not too late.Come let us have breakfast!"

With that Zhang Min carried her back into the bedroom and put Yang Mei on the bed. But Yang Mei jumped agilely and said,"Breakfast is outside!Why am I back on the bed?"

Smiling thinly and stalking around the bed towards his rapidly moving prey, he said,"Mei Mei, first let us have this breakfast and then we can think of our stomachs!" and lunged at her to get her into his arms but Yang Mei was smarter and hungrier for food so she successfully evaded him and ran back out of the bedroom screaming,"You beast!First fill my stomach!"

Shaking his head with a smile, Zhang Min picked up his clothes and wandered over to get dressed. Guess he would have to wait for a mid day snack!

They sat in a cafe and waited for their orders to arrived.Yang Mei c.o.c.ked her head at Zhang Min as he easily spoke with the barista. He really was easy going on the surface as if he was an open book but when you went deeper,you could see the different layers of him. Even now, as he was talking with the girl, Yang Mei could see the admiration in the girl but there was distinctly no flirting or mixed signals from Zhang Min. He was an open book written with invisible ink! 

Yang Mei snorted at her own whimsical thoughts and stirred the coffee in her hand.

Soon, Zhang Min was back in the seat with their order and he placed her tray in front of her.

Just then a booming female voice called out,"So, doctor,You finally brought your girlfriend here!"

Zhang Min got up from his seat and turned to hug the woman who was at least twice his sixe in width and grinningly denied,"She is not my girlfriend!"

Yang Mei who was about to get angry at Zhang Min's denial, fell back in her seat as he continued,"She is my fiance!"

"Good boy!So you have kept her hidden for long eh?"

Zhang Minnthen turned to introduce Yang Mei,"Mei, this is the owner and chef of this cafe and usually when I am alone I just let her feed me whatever she wishes."

Yang Mei smilingly greeted the lady owner, feeling more welcome and comfortable with such a warm person. Finally as the lady bid leave, she left with a parting shot ordering her two customers,"Save some space for the pumpkin pie!"

Zhang Min happily tucked into his food while Yang Mei stared intently. Feeling her gaze, Zhang Min looked up straight into her eyes and asked,"What's up?"

"Zhang Min?You sire do work fast?"

Confused, Zhang Min shook his head and started,"No actually I usually move at the speed of a tortoise.."

His blank face showed that he did not understand her meaning so Yang Mei explained,"I just agreed to become your girlfriend yesterday and today I have been deemed your fiance..I don't think that is slow at all!Tomorrow, are you going to tell everyone that I am your wife?"

"That is a great idea!Let's go to the civil bureau after this!"

Yang Mei who had been pretending to be angry at Zhang Min could not hold back her laughter at his prompt answer and shaking her head in exasperation started to eat her food!"

But she could not have guessed that Zhang Min had really been serious. He would have carted her to the court if she had just said yes, even if as a joke.

Narrowing his eyes, that Yang Mei was not taking him seriously, Zhang Min pointed an accusing finger at her,"You slept with me!"

Yang Mei's head jerked up at this statement and she looked around with a red face telling Zhang Min,"Shush!!You have no shame!Why are you bringing that up now?"

"Because you have to take responsibility of me!Let me warn you I will not let you go after you have used me for your own p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e!"

Zhang Min was purposely teasing her, Yang Mei realized!So she decided to give him back as good as she got. Fl.i.c.k.i.n.g her hair away from her shoulder, she arrogantly demanded,"What p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e? I just tried you and I've decided I am not very content. So I will not be keeping you."

This made Zhang Min's eyes glow in challenge and he was about to retort about a retrial when their pumpkin pies were brought out to the table by a waitress. Of course the two people paid no attention to it or her but the poor bystander girl was scorched by their intense heat and chemistry and with a squeaky,"Enjoy." The girl escaped from there. Since Zhang Min was stopped from replying , he simply gobbled up his pie also and then leaning back in his seat,started at Yang Mei, his eyes promising her retribution.

Yang Mei realized that she had stepped on a tiger's tail and now had no way to escape. To delay being devoured , she slowed down on eating the pie, chewing slowly as if savoring the taste but it could have been wood for all she knew of the taste. She could feel her body heating up from his hot gaze and she wanted to look away but found herself unable to. She was caught in his gaze as she mechanically brought the spoon to her mouth. After a few minutes, Zhang Minlooked down breaking eye contact and smiling like a hunter asked,"Mei Mei, would you like to order more pie since you are even scraping off the crumbs."

That was when Yang Mei realized that she had already polished off the pie and was currently chewing...nothing!

Like a confused puppy, she shook her head and looked up to see Zhang Min's extended hand in front of her face. Hypnotized, she put her hand in his as he led her out of the cafe. Only when the hot air from the street hit her in the face did Yang Mei come to her senses and resisted the pied piper's pull,"We have to pay."

"Already did." 

"I wanted more pie!"

"We'll come again."

"Your phone is ringing!"

Yang Mei breathed in a sigh of relief as Xhang Min's cell phone rang, blessing the person who had unintentionally helped her stall. But then she saw, Zhang Min denied the call and gulped,"She was dead meat..soon."

But the next moment, Zhang Min's message tone beeped and when he looked at the message flashing on the screen, he cursed out loudly startling even Yang Mei. 

He was going to kill Ah Hai someday!He was going to work hard on that. Yang Mei looked at the phone that had led Zhang Min to let out such colorful curses and taking the thing from him glanced at the screen.

Grinning, she blessed her sister who had saved her. The message read,"You are so dead!" was followed by a knife and gun emoticon!
