My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

"It is not but I once read the story when I was studying Japanese." Li Jun Wei replied, his eyes were strolling onto see the side profile of Li Lian. Under the light and with the very small distance they shared against each other, Li Lian could feel his eyes perfectly on to her. Her eyes moved to the corner of her eyes to meet his eyes once when it drew back its gaze to the rooftops.

"What story was The Red ogre and Blue Ogre?" asked Li Jun Wei this time though Li Lian didn’t notice the subtle move he took to move to her side.

"Do you want to hear?" a smile appeared on her lips seeing that he had gotten interest to one of her most favorite children’s tale.

Truthfully Li Jun Wei wasn’t really interested in story. He was the type of child who would sleep without story regardless of his parents fondness to read him tale when he was a children. And since he grew older, he prefer peacefulness rather than noises. But Li Lian’s voice was a melody to his ears and he loved to hear more of her voice in the private room they were in together.

He hummed nodding to say, "I do."

Li Lian cleared her throat and used the tone of voice of a mother who was about to read night tales to her children but instead of children, the one who would be entertained by her story was her husband.

She took a breath and spoke, "The story was also known as the red ogre who cried. It was the story of two ogre one who was in a blue color and the other one ogre who had a red skin color. Once upon a time there was a red ogre who have a very kind hearted nature, the red ogre wanted to make friends with human but the humans were too frightened to get close to him which made him feel sad." she begin her story started where Li Jun Wei was intently staring at the sight of Li Lian sleeping beside him.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say this could be said as one of his dream was achieved in a night. He knew there were signs of shyness and that she was in a state of nerves but she tried to keep it hidden with her facial expression which Li Lian thought she did good but perhaps not as Li Jun Wei could easily read her like an open book.

"Then his best friend the blue ogre came up with an idea to help him become friends with humans by saying that he would create a havoc in the village where the red ogre come and save them. And that next week they did what the blue ogre had suggested and the red ogre quickly made friends with humans. However one day he become worried of the blue ogre who didn’t come by his house for weeks-" Li Lian who was excited to tell him the child tale turn her face to see that he had appeared right across her face. She moved back gingerly when her hand was caught by Li Jun Wei.

"Then?" he asked, urging her to continue her story.

"Then..." she trailed when her eyes moved down it fell from his neck to slowly down to the collar of his pajamas that was opened widely almost showing his chest. Her throat bobbed the gulp sound rolled in the silent room.

"Then, the the red ogre went to his house to see that his friend had left the place for good leaving him a letter that said of how he shouldn’t be friend with him anymore as it will ruin the red ogre’s good reputation to humans," Li Lian who has taled the story until the end felt that she had never felt such a heart skipping story telling of the blue ogre and red ogre.

For some reason she felt as if she was telling a romantic story not a story of friendship.

It wasn’t that she didn’t notice the way Li Jun Wei looked at her was more intense than ever. She knew but at the same time, she didn’t know what she should do against his 1clawing state.

"So the red ogre lost his best friend for being friends with humans." he said and when she heard his voice and breaths brushing her ears, her body inched back.

"Don’t move too far, Li Lian." he whispered and sure enough Li Lian who thought she would be able to create more distance by moving back was wrong. As the more she moved back, the closer Li Jun Wei was.

Although she didn’t want to move back which she did once again and Li Lian who didn’t know she had arrived at the edge of the back slipped as she was about to fall but thankfully Li Jun Wei caught her in time. His fingers sauntered on her waist where his other hands fit into the gaps of her fingers. With a firm held, he pulled her body nearer to him.

"I told you to not move far didn’t I?" he said a little warn that was a harmony to her ears.

"I’m sorry." she said after deliberating what words she should put on her lips.

"If you go any further than this, I will think that you are going to run away." he whispered and used his hand to lift and turn her face for his eyes to meet her free ones, "Or perhaps you are running away?"

"I am not!" She hurriedly relied so he wouldn’t misunderstand. "It is my first time to sleep with someone after a long time and I just feel a little nervous."

"I know that is why you have to get closer to me so you could get used to having me sleeping beside you." and when he had said the words, his hand that had pulled her waist moved closer to bring her from the edge.

Li Jun Wei pulled a smile that he knew well how much Li Lian loves his sweet smiled and pulled her waist closer to feel Li Lian flinched.

"Come closer." he whispered, the words rolling out of his oval lips.
