After driving for an hour, Ye Jie eventually parked the car and Xu Mey with her grumbling stomach looked around in incredulity.

  What laid before her eyes was a bright sunny sky and a park right beside the river. She could hear the giggles of kids and chatter from around. When she looked at Ye Jie, he beamed in return and extracted out a picnic basket along with a blanket from the car and took Xu Mey’s hand in his own before entering the park.

  Because it was weekend, plenty of families were in the park making it a bit crowded that’s why Ye Jie walked a while with Xu Mey and finally chose a more secluded space under the shades of green trees.

  He laid out the blanket on the grass and one-by-one took out the food that he had packed himself. Since Xu Mey was made to stand on a side she couldn’t help Ye Jie at all. But seeing the container of Kimpab (Korean Rice Rolls) and Mandoo (Korean Dumplings), Xu Mey’s stomach roared brazenly. The sound even attracted Ye Jie’s attention and when he turned to look at Xu Mey, she lowered her face in shame making him chuckle.

  Then Ye Jie set a container of fresh spring rolls and moon cake making Xu Mey literally drool at the side. After setting up everything, Ye Jie beckoned her to sit down beside him.

  She was about to pick up Kimbap when Ye Jie lightly tapped on her hand and shook his head at her. He took out a sanitizing wipe and holding her hand in his, he helped her in cleaning her hands. This simple gesture touched the deepest part of Xu Mey’s heart who looked at Ye Jie with starry eyes.

  After helping her clean her hands, Ye Jie picked up a Kimbap and feed her with his own hands.

  On the other hand, Wu Wang brought Azalea and Ye Jun to the same location for a picnic and while they were looking for a perfect spot to sit, Azalea’s eyes caught Ye Jie and Xu Mey.

  "Oh, I thought they’d be too busy to even come out today," She muttered to herself before shrugging her shoulders. "Oh, well, I should go to say hi."

  Before she could skip towards them both Wu Wang and Ye Jun held her back saying, "Are you that eager to eat dog food?" Azalea frowned at Ye Jun’s statement. "Look at them." He pointed at Ye Jie and Xu Mey with his chin and Azalea curiously turned but instantly froze.

  At that time, Ye Jie was wiping Xu Mey’s hand and feeding her himself. Both of them seemed to be immersed in each other so deeply that the entire world was non-existent for them.

  "Gosh! Why do I suddenly feel full?" Azalea remarked with her gaze still stuck on them.

  "I think that’s enough dog food for you. Let’s find another spot!" Ye Jun suggested and the three of them didn’t bother Xu Mey and Ye Jie at all.

  Meanwhile, after eating to her fill, Xu Mey glanced at Ye Jie who had a pensive look while looking at her long untied hair. "What’s wrong?" Xu Mey asked while clearing up the blanket.

  Ye Jie didn’t speak and came behind Xu Mey. He held her hair in his own and combed them with his fingers. After that, he started braiding her hair. "What are you doing?" Xu Mey questioned.

  "Shh!" Xu Mey instantly quietened up after his reply.

  Xu Mey had no idea where he managed to get a hair tie but he perfectly braided her hair in a side braid and laid it on top of her shoulder.

  Xu Mey was fascinated with his skills and couldn’t help asking, "Where did you learn to braid?"

  Ye Jie shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and replied, "I told you, we can learn anything online."

  After saying that, he placed his head in Xu Mey’s lap and laid down. Xu Mey looked at his closed eyes and raked her fingers softly in his hair.

  The soft sound of the water mixed with the serenity of the surrounding made Xu Mey feel really relaxed. She kept staring at Ye Jie’s face at his sharp jawline, his high bridge nose, and those thin lips. Looking at him she thought to herself, ’How can a person like you love a person like me? And how on earth did you become the most important part of my life?’


  Even though Ye Jie’s eyes were closed, he could still feel her gaze on himself. "Do you have something to say, baby?" He suddenly asked breaking Xu Mey’s trance of admiring him.

  She moistened up her lips and said, "The question is kind of weird."

  "It doesn’t matter." He replied while taking her one hand in his own hands and leaving the other hand to wander around in his thick smooth hair.

  "Hmm…… I wanna ask, why do you love me so much? How can you love me so much actually?" When Xu Mey voiced out her question, Ye Jie opened his eyes to gaze into hers.

  "Why and how? Hm…… That’s a bit tough……" He sat up and palmed her face saying, "My best friend once said that broken people have the tendency to love deeper than anyone in this world. Do you know why?" Xu Mey shook her head softly. "Because they are scared of being left alone."

  Xu Mey’d frown deepened. But he went on, "When love breaks you once, it gets tough to embrace it again. But when you allow your broken heart to love again, then you love the other person with all those broken pieces that were left by the previous one…… The people with broke heart tends to love deeply because they want to give everything which they couldn’t do in their previous relationship. And the reason is the same, they don’t want to break again."

  He stroked Xu Mey’s hair lovingly and added, "Loving you wasn’t difficult at all. To be honest, it was the easiest thing in my life ’cause you compelled me towards yourself and I couldn’t stop myself from loving you. Today, I can scream it to the whole world that the person that I love the most is…… Xu Mey…… My wife." He pulled her cheeks adorably. "My sweet and sour, cherry wife."

  Xu Mey’s eyes moistened up at his words. He was the one who turned her madness into his feelings and oddly, she fell in love with his feelings of being in love with her.
