Chapter 295 - 296: Short Dinner-III
Li Lian wondered what Li Jun Wei was watching of. Her gaze shifted slowly to follow from his eyes toward the place where he was watching at. It was a large panel of window, tall that reached up to the ceiling that also connected to the third floor where on the top of the ceiling Li Lian saw the chandelier that emitted golden color.
She noticed what Li Jun Wei was watching of with his expression emotionless and void was the glass. Li Lian why would he stared at the glass or if it was the garden outside where a large pool was that covered by leaves that hanged from above like creepers to add a cool feeling. Staring at the window then Li Lian brought her left hand up which was connected to Li Jun Wei’s right hand.
"Is this the place?" asked Li Lian, her eyes on him slowly turned with an expectation that made her heartbeat to race. "Where your hand had an accident?"
Li Jun Wei’s eyes were sharp, "This is the place," he confirmed and as he was talking her hand, he lead her to walk at a place nearer to the window and stopped at one spot that now was covered by grayish carpet that felt soft on her feet, "Grandmother told me I was found here, at this spot. By the time she found me, I was already lying with my hand covered with glass that pierced my hand and meanwhile, the rest of my body was fortunately avoided the glass hail."
That was fortunate in a way as Li Jun Wei didn’t have to suffer from wounds on his stomach or head that would be worse. If it was true, Li Lian felt herself imagining little Li Jun Wei she saw from the portrait hanged on the wall lying on the ground with blood and her brows were pulled tight.
She didn’t know how much Li Jun Wei had to went through pain that she could understand the reason why he slowly locked himself away from others in action to protect himself. It was said that each people had their own way to protect themselves and often times, their body or mind would be the one to take action. Li Jun Wei’s emotions was locked perhaps not only because he had taught himself not to and was perhaps Li Jun Wei’s mind doing in order to protect herself from any possible harm coming in his way.
"It must have been hurt." said Li Lian as she continued to imagine, Li Jun Wei saw his kind wife being in sadness on his sake. He pulled her closer, taking her eyes away from the ground.
