Chapter 51: It was my fault
Chapter 51: It was my fault
"Yan Yan" shouted Wen Mei as she ran to her friend.
Li Wei saw this all, and was shocked to see the all time energetic and manly Wang Yu Yan in a state like this. Seeing her reduced to a state like this made his heart ache.
He felt a sudden foreign emotion in him, which wanted to pull the girl into a his embrace and wanted to protect her.
He followed Wen Mei and stood in front of the petite looking girl. What made her like this? A question came to his mind.
Wen Mei with shaking steps came to Wang Yu Yan who had buried her head in her knees.
Wen Mei squatted in front of her and with her shaking hands, she touched Wang Yu Yan's knee while softly saying " Yan Yan"
Wang Yu Yan felt something touch her, and because she was still in the trauma, she thought that someone was trying to kill her.
Without seeing above, she shanked back and shouted, " Nooo!! Please don't kill me. Please, I'll disappear on my own." followed by her sobs.
Hearing her words, Wen Mei and Li Wei froze.
Wen Mei was the first who recovered from the shock, and said "Yan Yan, it's me. Your friend Wen Mei." like she was coaxing a child who was scared.
" No!! Stay away. I don't have any friends." Wang Yu Yan said with a shaking voice. Wen Mei was shocked to hear this, but she didn't flinch.
" Yan Yan! Its me. Wen Mei open your eyes" Wen Mei said while she held Wang Yu Yan with her arms and shacked her so that she can wake up.
Wang Yu Yan bit her lower lip and gathering her courage, she looked up.
As she looked up, Wen Mei eyes became gentle. Whereas for Li Wei he felt like he saw a new person not Wang Yu Yan.
In no way can the same person be Wang Yu Yan. Her eyes had lost all the light and were dark, darker than usual.
The eyes were totally different from the original, which had the audacity to glare at him. Due to all the crying, they were swollen and red.
Her face that was energetic and fierce like a queen, was now pale and weak. It had lost all it's light and her cheeks were stained by her continuous crying.
Why? Thought Li Wei in his mind.
When Wang Yu Yan looked up, her tensed face became relaxed on seeing a familiar face. "Mei" she called out to confirm.
Seeing her like this made Wen Mei frowned. She said " Yes dear, I am Wen Mei."
Wang Yu Yan stared at her face, for sometime and when finally she broke out into tears. "Wen Mei" she cried with all her might.
Wen Mei as soon as saw her heard her calling out, she hugged her friend tightly.
Wang Yu Yan on finding the warmth which she was familiar with, clutched the side of Wen Mei's night suit and hid her head into her crook of neck.
"They will kill me, Mei" she said.
" Oh dear. No one will do nothing to you. You are safe here." Wen Mei said as she patted Wang Yu Yan's back.
Li Wei who was witnessing this, kept his eyes on the petite figure in Wen Mei's arms.
What made her so vulnerable? He thought.
His fist formed into a ball and he felt the urge to kill the one, who were the reason for her current state.
After almost, fifteen minutes of crying, Wang Yu Yan abruptly stopped. Wen Mei broke the hug and saw her friend who had her eyes closed.
" I-I will call the doctor" said Li Wei as he took out his phone and clumsily made the call.
" No need. She's ok" said Wen Mei as she wiped the tears off Wang Yu Yan's cheeks.
" But she-" Li Wei was cut off by Wen Mei who said, " I am a kind of doctor too, Li Wei."
After a pause she said " She has just fainted sue to the excess strain on herself"
"But Why?" said Li Wei with concerned tone.
I will tell you, but first can you help me to tuck her in?" Wen Mei said.
"Yes" answered Li Wei as she approached the fainted Wang Yu Yan and carried her carefully just like a precious jewel in his hand, in a bridal style. He gently placed her on bed and helped Wen Mei to tuck her in.
" Do you have a extra lamp?" said Wen Mei as she looked at the broken lamp on the floor. " And please ask someone to clean it" she continued.
"Hmm" said Li Wei as he called for a servant.
Soon a new lamp was shining at the table and the mess in the room was cleaned up.
" Now tell me." asked Li Wei with a restless tone.
" Lets talk outside" said Wen Mei, as she went out of the room followed by Li Wei.
Closing the door, Wen Mei said " She has Nyctophobia"
Hearing the words, Li Wei showed a confused expression. Seeing him Wen Mei said " Sorry. She had fear of dark rooms."
" When ever she will find a locked dark room, she would have a panic attack and will behave weirdly like this"
" Why?" said Li Wei with his indifferent tone.
Wen Mei sighed and continued " I still don't know. She never told me. When she wakes up tomorrow, please don't mention this incident in front of her."
Li Wei ".."
" After such incident happens, she forgets all of that when she wakes up the next day. So" said Wen Mei with a serious face which was total opposite of her all time personality.
" But why was the lamp off? This is very unusual."
Hearing her words, Li Wei recalled himself switching off the lamp. With this thought, he felt guilty which was unlikely of himself.
If it was anyone else, he would've arrogantly called it a mistake. But he didn't had the heart to call this one as a mistake.
On seeing him passed out, Wen Mei sighed and said " Now you can return, I will stay with her for the rest of the night."
" No, It's ok. I am here only. You can go to your room. If something happens I will call you." he said while totally ignoring Wen Mei.
"But-" Wen Mei was cut off by Li Wei's glare at her.
"O-Ok, I will be off then. If something happens call me immediately." said Wen Mei as she dashed off to her room.
After seeing that she was gone, Li Wei entered Wang Yu Yan's room again with a apologetic expression.
He closed the door and sat beside the sleeping Wang Yu Yan. He stared at her features.
After sometime, his hand moved to her face and caressing it, he said with a gentle voice " I-I am sorry"
"It was my fault. I am sorry" he said to the sleeping beauty in front of him.
He took her hair strand and lowering his head, he kissed the strand.
Surprised at his behaviour, his face turned light pink. Wait, but why was he blushing?
'What is happening to me?' he mumbled as he left the room with hurried steps.
