Shui Xian tried to imagine the little Raelle listening to the story of 'The Little Prince.' Even with a small brain, she must have carried around a serious and expressionless face while trying to ponder over the meaning of the story. And his own imagination ended up making him chuckle.
"What happened?" asked Raelle when she noticed the way he was chuckling by her side.
"Nothing," said Shui Xian. "I suddenly understand why Yanyan read that story to you."
"Oh?" Raelle looked at him straight as she asked, "And why is that?"
He gazed at her with gentle eyes as he quoted, "'[My rose] filled me with her fragrance, she had brought joy to my life. I should never leave her. I should have recognized what a sensitive sweet soul there was under all her silly games.'"
With Raelle's impeccable memory, it wasn't difficult for her to recall that these words were from 'The Little Prince.' But at the moment, she was curious why her husband would quote it to her.
Shui Xian faced her and took her other hand in his own as well as he told her, "These words remind me of you."
"Really?" questioned Raelle. She really didn't know how these words were meant for her. She was definitely not like a rose. Was she? "Do you think I have a sensitive sweet soul?"
Shui Xian smiled brightly as he nodded, "Darling, the best thing about you is the fact that you're oblivious to your own charms. You're definitely like a rose. People often only see your thorns and when those thorns prick them, they step away. It took me a while to pass your thorns to find your soft petals. But I'm glad I found it." And what he didn't add was that he truly believed that just like a red rose represented passionate love, she was also fiery and passionate. He already told her she had a beautiful heart. But it's a shame she doesn't think so.
From the first time he met her, he knew she was like an untamed fox. Just like the fox that met the little prince. Because to Raelle, the world was the same as the fox that met little prince; monotonous. There were hardly any things that could affect her or hold meaning to her. But it was because of this indifference of hers that made him want to tame her.
Wouldn't he become special once he tamed her? Taming her only meant to have a relationship that'd just belong to them.
Just like the fox told the little prince, 'To me, you are just a little boy like any other, like a hundred thousand other little boys. I have no need of you and you have no need of me. To you, I am a fox like any other, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, you and I, we will have created a relationship, and so we will need one another. You will be unique in the world for me…'
Shui Xian also wished to be that unique existence in Raelle's life now.
He brought her hand to his lips and placed a kiss on the palm of her hand as he told her, "The best way to understand the world is to understand yourself. My dear wife, you have never even managed to understand what you really are. How are you gonna understand the world?"
"Perhaps, you think too highly of me," said Raelle.
Shui Xian shook his head, "I think I don't think highly enough of you." He suddenly bowed a little and carried her up into his arms in a princess carry. Raelle suddenly lost her footing and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What are you doing now?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian took a deep breath and kissed her forehead as he carried her inside the house. Calling it the little lovers' nest would be better at this point since that name fit perfectly with what Shui Xian had in mind right now.
"I think I digested my dinner as we took a walk here," said Shui Xian with a straight face. "I'm a little hungry again."
"So?"
"So, it's time for my late-night snack," he told her seriously.
"I wonder what does that have to do with me?" Raelle voiced out.
Shui Xian looked at her with a fiery gaze as he licked his lips and said in a low voice, "If I won't carry my late-night snack to the bedroom, how will enjoy it later?"
Only now did Raelle figure out that the supposed 'late-night snack' was actually referring to her. He was trying to hide his lust behind such gentlemanly words. But did she mind it? No!
Throwing her on the soft mattress, Shui Xian pressed her down and pushed her hair back saying, "Finally, I have my favorite snack on my bed. Now, I wonder where should I take the first bite?"
"How about I suggest?"
Shui Xian looked into Raelle's eyes and his eyes darkened. A very familiar heat surged within his body when Raelle's mischievous finger rubbed against his face. Her fingerpad started from the forehead and continued to trail down in a slow manner. Shui Xian really wondered whether she knew what she was doing right now?
Who taught his wife these tricks of sweet torture?
Not that he minds it though.
Hehehe... He is more than pleased to cooperate with her.
"Suggestions are always welcomed," said Shui Xian in a hoarse voice. Even he was surprised by his own voice. She really had so much control over him already that he was fully aroused. And there wasn't even foreplay here!
Raelle pointed at her own lips as she said, "How about starting from here?"
Shui Xian cursed in his mind and instantly caught her lips with his own. As their lips meshed together, he forgot everything around them. In that time and place, only the two of them existed. There wasn't any place left for anyone else.
