Chapter 129 - Happy Valentine's Day, Parting Gifts

"Let's get to know each other first, then you can ask me this same question again if your feelings don't change by then," Shui Shui said with a tone of finality. She wants to be his girlfriend as much as he does but like Shiyi had advice her, she should not be rash in her decision concerning him. He told her not to let her heart control her sense of reasoning and that is what she is going to do.

"Ok, as much as I want you to be my girlfriend, I agree with the points you made. Let's get to know each other first, but firstly have you forgiven me?" Jin Xiaofei asked calmly. His heart pounded against his chest as he waited anxiously for Shui Shui's reply.

"Having seen how sincere you are and the reason you gave, I can't see myself still holding grudges against you so I will forgive you but under one condition," Shui Shui said smiling mischievously for the first time since she got there.

"And what's the condition?" Jin Xiaofei asked anxiously, holding his breath without even realising it.

"Promise me I can do whatever pleases me if you ever do a thing like this," Shui Shui said, staring at him. Her expression shows that she was up to something mischievous with this condition of hers.

"I will make sure this will never repeat itself but I give you my word. You can do whatever pleases you if I ever messed up like this but an exception is breaking up with," Jin Xiaofei promised seriously. 

"I will hold you to your words but don't forget I didn't mention the specific thing I will do to you. I can strip you naked or play with any part of your body as much as I want with no objections from you," Shui Shui smiling victoriously. Jin Xiaofei's mouth widened in astonishment when he heard the words that just came out of her mouth. He could not believe that he had just fallen into her trap. "Why can't I always think straight whenever I am with her. Have I suddenly become a fool?" Xiaofei thought, staring at the smiling Shui Shui. 

"You can do whatsoever that pleases you, I won't object," Xiaofei said defeatedly after some minutes of silence.

"Don't look so scared, the worst that I can do is rape you if I can't control myself, I won't kill you I promise," Shui Shui said still smiling.

"..." Her shamelessness made Jin Xiaofei speechless. "Which part of the Universe did she come from?" Jin Xiaofei thought, gazing at her with a puzzled look.

"I am just kidding. I won't rape you, but I can't promise you any other thing," Shui Shui said firmly. Her voice shows she would not compromise anymore.

"Ok, but does this mean you have forgiven me and that we are no more quarrelling hmm," Jin Xiaofei asked when he regained his composure.

"Yes, we aren't fighting. Wait, did you think I was really mad at you?" Shui Shui asked playfully.

"Yes, your expression and actions said it all so it was obvious that you were mad at me," Jin Xiaofei said seriously. Her words made him confused.

"I wouldn't have come all the way here if I was mad at you and I wouldn't have certainly spoken to you too if I was angry. Let me tell you the truth. I was furious when you ignored all my calls and text messages, but my best friends talked senses into me. And there is one more thing you don't know about me, I am not nice to anyone who hurts me, my friends or family. I always make them pay so be thankful to my friends," Shui Shui said confidently when she recalled what she did to the guy who has hurt her best friend so many times. She has been dying to meet him until she ran into him that day. She thought the jerk whom her best friend has slowly fallen in love with a lesson he will not forget in a hurry.

"Ok, I have taken notes of what you like and dislike right now and I will definitely thank your friends when I meet them. In fact, I can't wait to meet them," Jin Xiaofei said, bending to get something on the floor. He handed the bouquet of flowers to her. Shui Shui examined the flowers. She gave him questioning glances when she saw the flowers he gave her.

"Why white tulips out of all the flowers out there?" Shui Shui asked curiously. She thought maybe the flowers held a special meaning to him.

"It means forgiveness. I bought it because I wanted your forgiveness for what I did but it's Ok if it is not up to your taste. I can get another bouquet for you," Jin Xiaofei said, standing up to his feet.

"It's Ok, I like it. I just wanted to know the meaning of it and thank you for the flowers," Shui Shui brought her chair closer to his. After she sat down, she inspected the table Jin Xiaofei prepared for them. Four different types of tasty looking dishes were neatly arranged on the table and a bottle of sparkling wine. Flower vases containing red roses were also on the table and about three red and white scenting candles. She licked her lips hungrily as she stared at the delicious dishes. Her tummy made rumbling sounds at the sight of the tasty feasts.

"Hahaha....," Shui Shui laughed awkwardly when her tummy disgraced her.

"You look hungry. Let's eat," Jin Xiaofei said, smiling when he saw how embarrassed Shui Shui looked. Shui Shui and Jin Xiaofei ate and talked about everything that happened since the period when they didn't see each other. For the first time Jin Xiaofei talked about his family.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Zi and Yifeng did not feel like separating after their meal, so Yifeng took her out for a bit of sightseeing. They talked and laughed occasionally to each other's jokes. After their sightseeing, they still came back to the restaurant to get their cars.

"Happy Valentine's day, more love from me," Yifeng joked, handing her a bouquet of red and purple rose. The purple rose was just a few. It was used to design the middle of the red rose.

"Wow! Thank you," Yang Zi said, not thinking twice about it as she collected the bouquets of flowers from his hands. She did not know how weird she looked to Yifeng. Yifeng quickly opened the backseat of his car to get something, seeing that she didn't reject the flowers.

"Take this also," Yifeng said, handing her a little blue shopping bag with Ocean blue on it. Yang Zi was very familiar with this name. Ocean blue was the name of the best jewel brand in the universe. They were popular for their fine quality jewels.

"This also," Yang Zi asked, pointing at the gift in his hand. "I can't accept this, I feel bad being the one to do all the receiving when I don't have a single gift to give you," Yang Zi said, refusing to take the gifts. Yifeng almost limped up when he heard that she had the plan of getting him a gift. Although she didn't give him any gift, the fact that the thought of buying him a gift crossed her mind made him thrilled and fulfilled. "Chen, thank you so much for this surprise gift of yours. I love it," Yifeng thought, smiling brightly.

"Do you have feelings for me?" Yifeng asked rhetorically. "I know your answer is NO so you don't have to feel bad about not giving me any presents. I am the one who likes you and I decided to give you gifts on Valentine's day so I don't see a reason you should feel terrible about this besides you didn't have an idea that we will meet here. Just accept it Ok," Yifeng coaxed, stretching the gift bag forward.

"What you said is reasonable, but I am not the kind of lady who loves receiving and not giving back. I hate being indebted to people so I will only accept the flower. You can keep the other gifts with you," Yang Zi said seriously. She didn't know Chen would pull this prank on her. She would have purchased a worthwhile gift for him if Chen had given her heads up about this. She wondered how Yifeng came so prepared when he never knew that he will met her here. "When did he have the time to purchase the gifts?" Yang Zi thought curiously.

"If you still feel terrible about receiving gifts from me without giving something back in return, how about you kiss me? That will be the greatest Valentine's gift you can ever give me. It will suffice all material gifts you can ever think of," Yifeng said smiling naughtily.

"What did you just say?" Yang Zi asked. She didn't know whether to get amazed or angry for the comments he made.

"You can relax your tense body. I was kidding," Yifeng said, instantly closing the gap between them.

"If you won't reciprocate my feelings, then you don't have to bother yourself about getting me any Valentine's gifts. Any gift you give me will make me fall head over heels for you whenever I set my eyes on it and there is no turning back for me if that ever happens so just accept my gifts without any worries," Yifeng said, his expression looked as if he wasn't the one who was joking a few seconds ago.
