Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

61. Misunderstandings

The bright morning sun shone right onto Feng Jiu's face, and she covered herself with the pillow to block it out. Then she started thinking back on last night. "Wait. How did I end up here?! I thought we were in Dong Hua's room, having a heart-to-heart talk?"

Feng Jiu immediately sat up, and she noticed that her hoodie was partially unzipped and it was hanging off her shoulders. "Oh my gosh! What happened last night?! Wait. Dong Hua said he's a gentleman, so I'm sure he didn't do anything to me. Right?"

Feng Jiu quickly zipped up her hoodie and ran into the guest bathroom. Then she took a quick shower and changed back into her own clothes.

She peeped out of her room and crept towards Dong Hua's room, trying to see if he was awake. Then she noticed his door was closed, "Oh. He's still asleep?"

Feng Jiu leaned closer to the door, trying to see if she could hear any noises coming from inside the room. "Hmm... I thought he would be awake by now." Feng Jiu then decided to quietly open his door to peep if he was still sleeping.

"What are you trying to do? Peeping at me early in the morning?" Dong Hua said. He was standing behind her, but she didn't notice him at all.

"Huh? No! Why would I peep at you?" Feng Jiu nervously tried to deny the fact that she was peeping.

"Oh? Then tell me what you were trying to do? It looked like you were opening my door and peeping at me."

"I...I... fine. I was peeping. But I only wanted to see if you were awake!"

"Oh? Luckily I was awake. If not, I'm not sure if you would take advantage of me. After all, you stole two hugs from me." Dong Hua replied sarcastically.

"Why would I take advantage of you?!" She pouted. Then she asked, "So how did I get back to my room?"

"You fell asleep on my bed, and I had to carry you to the guest room."

"What?! You didn't take advantage of me... right?" She glowered at Dong Hua.

"Why are you acting so shocked? It's not the first time I carried you back to your room." Dong Hua replied calmly and patted her head.

"So... You didn't see anything, right?" Feng Jiu bowed her head with embarrassment.

"Huh? See what?" Dong Hua looked at her with his side-eyes.

"Well... When I was awake... My zipper was... You know." Feng Jiu didn't dare to look at Dong Hua because she was embarrassed.

"Ohhh. I saw everything." Dong Hua teased her. Then he walked towards the kitchen and smiled to himself when he had his back turned.

"Huh?! What did you see?!" Feng Jiu panicked, and she followed Dong Hua.

"Hmm..." Dong Hua continued teasing and didn't want to tell her the truth. Then he took the bread and milk out from the kitchen and laid it on the dining table. "Come eat breakfast, Xiao Bai."

Feng Jiu wanted to know more, but she was feeling a little shy too. She sat down beside Dong Hua, and she slowly dragged her chair to sit nearer to him. "So... What did you see?" She asked shyly.

"Oh. Why are you asking? What are you afraid of me seeing?" Dong Hua replied while applying peanut butter on his bread.

Feng Jiu pouted because she didn't know how to answer his question and she poured some milk into her cup. Dong Hua then peeped at her pouty face and thought to himself, "Silly girl." Then he said to Feng Jiu, "So... I saw your bad sleeping habits. You kicked the blanket off during your sleep."
