'What the hell? How come she is so good to him when she doesn't even smile at us?' Romano thought.
'Could it be that she got her memories back?' Mark asked Carlo in Telepathy.
Carlo read Mu Lan's mind and shook his head. He relied in telepathy, 'If she did, with her personality, she would pounce on him. '
Mark was speechless. He couldn't find a word to argue back.
Pedro told Mu Liang to lie down on the bed. Mu Liang did it without objection. Mu Lan gave him a small, shy smile before turning around and saw six pair of eyes were jeering at her.
Mu Lan's face was bright red. She coughed lightly and went pass them. She didn't even look back and hurriedly went to her own room.
That night, Mu Lan couldn't sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, Mu Liang's words came in her mind. It left her heart in turmoil. As she couldn't relax a bit, she got up from her bed and took her pillow under her right arm. After that, she headed out.
She walked in the dark corridor and stood in front of a door. Without knocking, she turned the knob around and opened the door. She walked inside the room. The room wasn't as dark as the corridor. The curtains were moved to the corner of the windows. The windows were opened and moonlight entered through the windows enlightening the room mildly.
The room was simple with a few furniture. The room was tidy. In the middle of the room, there was a king size bed. A man was laying down there.
The man noticed her presence from the very beginning. He raised his head and asked, "Can't you fall sleep?"
"No." Mu Lan said as she was still standing close to the door. Maybe she was waiting for his permission.
The man raised his hand and said, "Come here, little one."
Mu Lan came forward, threw her pillow on the bed and then sat on the bed. She went under the comforter and placed her head on the pillow. Her eyes were opened as she was looking at the ceiling.
Juan rubbed her head."Did something happen?"
Mu Lan turned her head towards him."Don't you know already what I'm going to say?"
He lightly replied, "Not really."
She frowned and asked, "Then why are you awake?"
"I knew that you would come. I know that when you can't sleep, you come to me. But I don't know why you can't sleep." After a pause, he asked, "Is it because of the Mu boy."
"See? I knew that you could tell." Mu Lan pulled the comforter to cover her face like a baby. Then she popped her head again."Juan, do you think he loves me? Like really really love? True love?"
Juan smiled silently."Do you want me to tell you the truth?"
"Of course." Mu Lan said with determination.
Juan took a deep breath. His reply was, "Little one, no one will ever love you the way he loves you."
Mu Lan's whole body froze. After a long time, she asked, "Not even you?"
Juan laughed out loudly."Silly girl, I cannot give you that kind of love. I can give you the love of a parent."
Mu Lan pondered about it and asked, "Do you think that he is upset after knowing that I lost my memories."
Juan stroke her head slowly and smoothly. Hew as trying to make her fall asleep."If it is you, who love us very much but suddenly when you wake up and see that we cannot remember you, do you think you will be upset?"
Mu Lan thought about it and definitely didn't like the idea of them forgetting her."I think my heart will tear apart and I will try my hardest to make you all remember me."
"Will you cry?" he asked softly.
Mu Lan looked at him with bewilderment."Do you think he cried?" Thinking of the pretty guy was crying, it made her restless.
She sat up on the bed and was about to get down."I should check on him."
"What if he has fallen asleep?" Juan asked.
"I just want to check." Mu Lan headed out.
Juan sighed in his heart."I feel bad for him too." He talked aloud.
Mu Lan walked silently and went down to the second floor. She stood in front of the door of the room where Mu Liang was sleeping.
She turned the knob around and opened the door a little. She peeped inside and saw a semi-dark room where in a bed a man was sleeping soundly. Hearing his regular breathing, she got some courage and walked inside the room. She went in the middle of the room and glanced at Mu Liang.
She looked at his extreme handsome face which made her heart throb. She couldn't help but draw near. She could smell his manly, unique odor. It made her head go numb and she subconsciously planted a small kiss on his soft, warm lips.
When she came back to her senses, she was startled. 'What the hell did I just do? OMG!'
She instantly turned around to leave but a firm palm caught her wrist and pulled her on the bed. Her body became stiff immediately.
The strong arms encircled around her chest and waist, and a deep voice came behind her."Lan, I missed you."
Mu Lan's soul already left her body. Her heart was beating crazily. This drop-dead gorgeous guy had a way to charm women. Thinking that, she opened her mouth to say something. However, she was interrupted.
Mu Liang continued, "Wifey, why did you leave me so suddenly? I had nightmares all the time when I was unconscious. I thought that I was going to die. But, when I opened my eyes, my heart was in bliss. I couldn't believe that I was alive. I wanted to see you badly. But then, I saw your red eyes. I didn't think anything of it. I didn't have the time to think anything of it. I was waiting for your bright smiles. However, I realized that you are not who you are. You lost your memories again. And this time, you forgot everything about us. Lan, what should I do? Is it because I am a bad person, so, God is now punishing me? Please don't leave me, Lan. I cannot bare to lose you. I cannot live without you. How can I make you remember our good times? Tell me a way. I will do it even that cost my life."
While Mu Liang was saying al these things, he was trembling as if he was trying to control his pain. His tone was hoarse. It seemed like he was crying.
Mu Lan never felt this helpless before. Feeling wetness on her shoulder, she knew that those were his tears. Her mind blew away. She didn't know what came in her mind.
She turned around and hugged the crying man. She let him put his head on her chest. She slowly rubbed his back and softly coaxed him, "I'm here. I won't leave you again. Go to sleep."
