Chapter 122 - 120. His Tenderness I

Third person POV

For the second time, Meiyun woke up in the same bed and her eyes were staring at the same ceiling but it seems like she was holding on something. She pulled and looked at the thing, her eyes widened when she saw a big hand then she whipped her head towards the owner of the hand. Her face immediately paled after she saw the face of the man.

Meiyun: " Ge-General Di?"

Di Shang: " Do you feel better?"

Di Shang placed his other hand on her forehead and checked her temperature. After checking that she had a normal temperature, he nodded his head and patted her head.

Di Shang: " No fever, good."

Meiyun widened her eyes in shock when she finally noticed that she wasn't wearing her mask.

Meiyun: " My mask?!"

Di Shang: " It broke."

Meiyun: " Br-broke?"

He didn't know why his heart ached when he saw her dispirited face.

Di Shang: " I will get you a new one."

Meiyun's face instantly brightened, she was used to wearing a mask and now she was feeling uncomfortable without her mask on. She stared at Di Shang's green eyes and her face blushed as she remembered what she had said to Di Shang. She immediately sat up and kowtowed on the bed.

Meiyun: " Please forgive this servant's rudeness and this servant owed General my life. This servant will do anything to repay General except harming the Xu family."

Di Shang: " It is fine."

Di Shang lifted her up and laid her on the bed again. He took the food from a table beside the bed, he spooned the food and placed it in front of her lips.

Di Shang: " Eat, you haven't eaten for a whole day."

Meiyun blushed by the intimate action as she wasn't used to it.

Meiyun: " E-en....eh? A whole day?!"

Di Shang: " What's the matter?"

Meiyun: " Oh my god, they must had searched for me."

Meiyun rummaged her pockets and noticed that she was wearing new clothes. She immediately panicked thinking that she had lost her personal badge. Seeing her panicking, he pulled out a badge from his pocket.

Di Shang: " Are you looking for this?"

Meiyun looked at her badge that was in his hand, she bowed her head and smiled brightly.

Meiyun: " Thank you very much!"

After she gave her thanks, she immediately poured some of her Qi into the badge and tapped a few code before she sighed in relief.

Di Shang: " You are Miss Xu's bodyguard right?"

Meiyun: " Yes, how did you know?"

Di Shang: " From your badge and your earring, I saw you once at my father's tent. You and your sister had this same earring but you only wore one side."

Meiyun: " Oohh~ General have such a keen eye."

Di Shang stared at her smile with dazed eyes but when his eyes landed on the cut beside her eyes, he frowned deeply. Noticed the change of his expression, Meiyun asked curiously.

Meiyun: " Is something wrong, General?"

Di Shang didn't reply to her, he stretched out his hand and gently brushed her cut with his thumb.

Di Shang: " Even though I have healed it, it will still leave a scar, I'm sorry."

Meiyun: " No need to apologize, General. It is an honor for a fighter to have scars."

Meiyun smiled from ear to ear. Di Shang's heart ached when she gave him her careless smile. Actually she was casted-down by a scar on her face, even though she's a tomboy, she still wants to have a pretty face. But she had prepared for this thing to happen since she joined the assassin guild.

Di Shang: " En, you are still beautiful even with a scar."

Meiyun: " Eh? HEEEEEEE?!"

Meiyun's face instantly exploded, she tried to hid her embarrassment by lowering down her face. Realized of what he had said, Di Shang blushed too but his hand was still caressing her cheek. Seeing her red ears made his heart beat faster, he wanted to see how she would look like when she was embarrassed. He raised her head and was taken aback by her fl.u.s.tered face, her eyes were looking down making her long eyelashes more visible. Her entire face and neck were flushed then he lowered his eyes and saw that she was biting her lower lip. He brushed over her lips with his thumb and gently said.

Di Shang: " Don't bite your lips. It will bleed again."

Meiyun's heart almost leaped out from her chest. Because she bit her lips too hard, it became quite red and swollen when she let go of her lips. She tried to act calm but her red face betrayed her, she had never being treated this gently by a male before so all of this thing made her nervous and shy.

Meiyun: ' Wh-wh-wh-what i-i-is ha-hap-happening?!'

While she was screaming inside her brain, Di Shang stared at her red lip with adoring eyes. He wanted to know how it feels if he touched her red lips with his lips, he slowly leaned his face forward. Their nose were only an inch apart when Meiyun's stomach suddenly growled. Di Shang widened his eyes and quickly backed away, meanwhile, Meiyun wanted to die of embarrassment.

Meiyun: ' My goooooddd, why do you have to growl in front of him of all time?!'

Di Shang coughed into his fist, hoping he could hide his blushed face.

Di Shang: " You are hungry, eat."

Di Shang took the spoon and positioned it in front of her lips, since her mind was occupied by her embarrassing moment, she obediently ate the food without saying a word. Di Shang chuckled and spooned a soup so it would be easier for Meiyun to swallow the food. After he fed her a few mouth of food, he curiously asked her.

Di Shang: " Is it good?"

Meiyun: " Ehm…" ( Her mouth is full)

Meiyun nodded her head then suddenly stopped when she realized that he was feeding her all this time. She wanted to apologize to him but she was afraid that the food in her mouth would splurt out so she stretched out her hand to take the plate from Di Shang's hand. However, Di Shang evaded Meiyun's hand causing Meiyun to lose balance and fell forward, Di Shang swiftly caught her with his other hand.

Unknown to him, his hand was clutching Meiyun's b.r.e.a.s.t. Surprised by the touch, Meiyun choked on the food in her mouth. Di Shang put down the plate and helped her sat up, he took a glass of water and gave it to her. Meiyun gulped down the water while Di Shang gently patted her back.

Di Shang: " Better?"

Meiyun: " Fuu~ Ye-yes, I'm perfectly fine."

Meiyun smiled awkwardly, Di Shang furrowed his eyebrow in puzzlement but he just shrugged his shoulder and continued to feed her.

Meiyun: " No no, it is unbefitting for General to feed a servant like me, let me-"

Di Shang: " No."

Meiyun: " Hm?"

Di Shang: " I want to feed you."

Meiyun: " But-"

Di Shang: " I want to feed you."

Di Shang said again with firm voice. Feeling hopeless, Meiyun nodded her head in surrender and ate the food that he spooned. Meiyun's puffed cheek moved as she chewed the food, the corner of his lips slightly curved up by the sight in front of him.

Meiyun: ' This General is kinda weird.'

Di Shang: ' Cute. Like a squirrel…'
