Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

After the couple tossed and turned in bed to their heart's content, did they get up from it. Luo Lixi had to take an early morning shower, thanks to Sheng Ruming. 

Even though Sheng Ruming wanted to take a bath with her, she closed the bathroom door on his face. 

Thus he went to the other bathroom of the penthouse. The man was feeling very distressed because the frequency of cold baths he had to take was increasing day by day.

After one hour of bathing…

"Ahf! Finally…" Luo Lixi walked out from the bathroom while her hair was wrapped by a white towel and she had a pink bathrobe put on. The bathroom was made of silk and was wrapping her body loosely.

She walked before the dressing table and sat down on a sofa stool. Then she separated the towel and began to gently rub her wet hair. Her skin was pink and slightly damp. As she had showered just now, her body was giving a refreshing feeling.

The bedroom door suddenly opened from outside and Sheng Ruming entered the room. He was in cozy house clothes- a black Pant with white stripes on both sides and a white cotton shirt. 

"You have finished bathing?" Sheng Ruming asked her even though he could see it. He made his way towards her and stared at the reflection of her in the mirror.

"Hmm." Luo Lixi softly responded and kept rubbing her hairs.

Sheng Ruming stopped her hands. At that, she looked at his reflection before her.

"What?"

"Let me rub your hair." When she heard it, she let him take the towel. Sheng Ruming started to rub her hair. He used mild force and slowly wiped her head. 

Luo Lixi placed her hands on her lap and closed her eyes. Sheng Ruming saw she seemed to be enjoying his rubbing.

"Lixi, if you want it, I can always give you this service. Do you want me to?" Sheng Ruming asked her. Even though he guessed she would probably decline him, he wanted to hear her answer.

'Her hair is so soft and smooth. I want to touch and play with these always.' He stared at her silhouette in the mirror while he kept working his hands above her head.

"Hmm…" She was feeling sleepy now that he was rubbing her head so gently. She softly responded to his question while she was starting to doze off.

 Luo Lixi took a long time to bathe today. After she had applied shampoo and body wash, she sat in the large bathtubs. Yet she was dozing in the bathtub earlier. If she didn't wake up at the sound of water dropping, perhaps today Sheng Ruming had to break the bathroom door to get her out.

After Sheng Ruming had wiped her hair for ten minutes, he threw the towel on the table. Then, he switched on the hairdryer and softly rubbed her hair as he dried the hair locks.

"Mmm… Ruming. I am feeling very sleepy. Do we have coffee beans in our house?" Luo Lixi rubbed her eyes and yawned. 

"There are. I will make black coffee for you when I make breakfast." When he told her, her eyes snapped open. She hesitated for a few seconds and asked.

"Ruming, have you ever tasted my cooking?"

"Nah. How could I let you cook when your hand was injured?" Sheng Ruming told her. Finally, he finished drying her hair. He placed the hairdryer on the dressing table. Then he took her hair in his hand and bent down to smell it.

"It smells good. Like dragon fruit or pomegranate?" Sheng Ruming asked her as he took more rubbed her hair and inhaled the scent deeply.

"It's strawberry… Ah!" While playing with her hair he went beside her hair and placed a kiss on her ear. Luo Lixi shrinked back and placed her right hand on his face.

"..."

"Don't kiss me there. It feels ticklish." As Luo Lixi was speaking, she wiped her ear with her fingers. 

"I know. That's why I kissed there. Or should I kiss below… perhaps here?" Sheng Ruming went down and bit on her neck.

"Ouch! You must have really bit me a lot when I was in coma. That's why I felt a stinging pain in my cheek." Luo Lixi placed her right hand on his chest and made him retreat a few steps from her. 

Then she stood and glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Afterwards, she ran through her two hands amid her messy hair and arranged them at one side of her head.

"It wasn't me. It must have been the servant you have seen after you have woken up from your coma." Luo Lixi listened while she picked a round headband from the dressing table. Then she put it around her forehead and dragged it behind so her baby hairs got placed with the rest of the long hairs.

"Oh! No doubt she ran away when I opened my eyes. Now it seems she was the first person I've seen after I have awakened." 

When Sheng Ruming heard her, his mood became gloomy. He wanted the first person she would see will be him yet a wretch was the one she saw first. Also, she became injured thanks to that woman.

Luo Lixi turned around and faced his not-so-happy mood. She softly smiled and went ahead to place a smooch on his cheek.

"Why are you looking sad now? I have decided today, I will make breakfast for us." She patted his face and walked away. Then she went to the closet and took out a dress.

"Why are you still here? I will wear my dress. Go out!" Luo Lixi spoke urgently and told him to go yet he didn't move from his place.

"Do I need to go? It isn't necessary… I guess I should go." Sheng Ruming changed his mind when she glared at him. He took the towel she had just used and walked out of the room.

'It seems glaring works a lot.' Luo Lixi nodded her head in understanding and began to put on her dress.
