Chapter 10: The Policewoman Who Gained Without Merit
Chu Mengyao felt as if she were in a dream, her mind was somewhat disoriented, filled with disappointment in her heart. She wished dearly to remain forever in a dreamlike state, never waking up, with a mysterious man protecting her, giving her an overwhelming sense of security.
At this moment, sounds came from the kitchen, Chu Mengyao's eyes flickered, and she carefully approached.
Ye Fan came out from the kitchen, almost bumping into Chu Mengyao.
Both of them froze at the same time, their gazes locking onto each other.
Chu Mengyao raised her arm and extended a finger, with the carefulness of touching an elusive dream, reaching toward Ye Fan's face. She wasn't even sure if she was dreaming. She wanted to touch it but feared that the dream would shatter at her touch. With mixed emotions, she finally touched Ye Fan's face; it had warmth and elasticity.
"It seems to be a living person, not a dream," Chu Mengyao murmured softly, her eyes dazed.
"What living person? What dream?" Ye Fan spoke up, utterly bewildered.
"Ah!" Chu Mengyao hurriedly withdrew her hand. It was only now that she felt as if waking from a dream, suddenly realizing that she really wasn't dreaming, everything was real. Once she realized this, while being overjoyed, she also felt her heart race and her face flush for what she just did.
"I actually touched his face, oh heavens, what is wrong with me? I'm aware of the psychological repulsion I hold for a man simply getting close to me, not to mention touching him at close proximity, it'd usually cause a feeling of aversion, yet I just now...," Chu Mengyao's head was a mess, her thoughts scattered.
