1534 Stubborn Couple
Lu Lijun went to Jiang Yang's room where Jiang Yang offered him night clothes. Lu Lijun wore them, "Thank you."
Jiang Yang simply looked at him, "Care to leave now as you are not planning to sleep here anyways? So I can have a good night's sleep."
Lu Lijun nodded and asked, "She doesn't lock the door to the gallery, does she?"
"I don't think so," Jiang Yang replied, "but didn't you notice it when you went to her room before?"
"I didn't know your sister would lock the door on me," he countered. "Let me give you some advice," Jiang Yang sat at the edge of the bed as he was ready to get into bed, "Women are volatile creatures. You never know when and what they would do. So you have to be always ready with escape or entrance ways. My sister, at that, is the queen of such women. Got it."
Lu Lijun nodded and said, "If it's locked, I have another way."
Jiang Yang understood what he meant, "That will work as well."
Lu Lijun left through the gallery door of Jiang Yang's room and through the gallery he went to the gallery door of Jiang Yuyan's room. He looked inside the dim lighted room through the glass door and could see the silhouette of someone sleeping on the bed.
He tried to unlock the door but it was locked. He tried again to check but it was really locked. 'She really doesn't want me to enter her room,' he sighed and heard someone clearing their throat.
Cough!
Lu Lijun looked at the door in front from its handle and Jiang Yuyan was standing there folding her hands in front. He looked at her and she simply looked back at him wordlessly. "It's locked," he said finally, looking like he was dying to go to her but that damn glass wall was keeping him away from her.
"Won't it make me look dumb if I fall for your tricks and word play again and again, Mister smarty pants?"
"You were never dumb and you can never be. You are my always so smart Yuyan," he replied. "That's why this smart Yuyan wants you to go back from where you have come."
"Your brother had kicked me out of the room."
"Kicked?" she chuckled, "that's not something anyone would believe. At Least not me."
"You can ask him. He thought I would disturb his good night sleep," Lu Lijun pulled his cellphone out and dialled Jiang Yang's number and put it on speaker.
The call was received and even before Lu Lijun could say a word, Jiang Yang said in an annoyed tone. "Didn't I tell you I need a good sleep. Man, I have surgery to perform early in the morning. Do not call me or come to my room," and Jiang Yang hung up the call.
"See, I was not lying," Lu Lijun said, pulling out innocent expressions on his face. "My brother is like that. Just go back and sleep next to him. He will say nothing."
"What's wrong with sleeping next to a sister instead of a brother?"
"You won't pounce on the brother the way you do with sister."
"You don't want me to?" He raised a brow.
"At least not now. I told you it's your punishment."
"Fine! I will stay outside," Lu Lijun said and moved back as he walked towards the gallery railing. He stood outside while looking at the sky and Jiang Yuyan watched him going away. She could not believe he listened so easily. "If you think this trick will work on me, then you are wrong."
Lu Lijun didn't react and continued to stand at the railing quietly. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen passed by but the stubborn guy stayed in his place. Not even once did he turn to look at her, who was standing behind the glass wall of her room. 'If he is stubborn then I am stubborn as well."
Jiang Yuyan went to the bed and tried to sleep but could not. She tossed and turned for the next half hour and finally gave up. She sat up in the bed and looked at the gallery where Lu Lijun was standing before but he was not there. 'Where did he go?' She stepped out of the bed and walked towards the glass wall only to find he was resting in the recliner chair. She waited for a while and realised he didn't move at all. 'Is he asleep?'
She finally opened the door and went out in the gallery, only to find him resting with his eyes closed. 'Seems like he fell asleep.'
She sat at the edge of the other recliner chair and looked at him, not knowing what to think, whether to laugh at his stubbornness or feel sad that she kept him outside.
'Shall I wake him up and take him inside or it will disturb his sleep?' she thought for a while and stood up, 'I better get something for him to cover. Will let him inside once he is awake.'
She went to the room and got the quilt to cover him, 'I should get one more. I will sleep in another chair.' She got another quilt and left the room.
First she covered him with it and looked at his calm face. 'He must be tired after working the entire day,' she sighed, 'I am the bad one here to trouble him.'
She moved her hand closer to his face and moved those messy hair strands away from his forehead but the next moment her hand was held and a pair of sleepy eyes looked at her, taking her by surprise. "Did I wake you up?" she asked. "You did well," he replied in horse voice as he pulled her closer with a strong tug. He stared into her beautiful eyes, "If you can not stay away from me, then why push me away?"
She had no words in her defence and that sudden closeness and the way he looked at her, made her swallow whatever she could say. ===
