Long Xi had to be assured that Big Brother Kun was safe and sound!

She entrusted the business of the two companies to the vice presidents and set off after telling grandma to visit Mo Kun.

After getting on the plane, she found out that the passenger sitting next to her was Yan Wangchuan.

Yan Wangchuan explained, “I have refused a few singing programs’ broadcasting. I have asked for leave from the company to go there with you. Don’t drive me away. I won’t leave, because I’d feel worried about you and I am afraid that you might meet some dangers!”

Long Xi was touched and somewhat speechless. How could she get rid of him? Would he stay by her side for a lifetime?

She left in a hurry, so it was 11:00 in the evening when they arrived at the Hokkaido Airport.

Getting out of the airport, Long Xi barely booked a hotel on the internet when she asked a taxi to the hospital with Yan Wangchuan.

Long Xi looked anxiously outside the window.

The sky was as dark as ink that couldn’t be erased easily. The road aside was covered with thick white snow.

The driver was skilled and the drive was stable. But it was just at 30 to 40 km/h, which was not fast enough for Long Xi.

The driver was a talkative middle-aged man, saying in English with a smile, “Are you coming from Z Country? Hokkaido is relatively cold. People are not used to it when just coming here! It snowed last night which was the fourth time this year. Snow melts when reaching the ground three times faster, because of the high temperature on the ground. Later on, with the following snows, it will stack. Now, it stacked up to one-meter in height.

Half an hour passed by, from the airport to the sanatorium.

The car stopped at the entrance to the sanatorium. A uniformed security guard stood by the door.

Long Xi got out of the car and expressed her intention in English. The security guard refused her visit politely but resolutely, because the patients had already taken their break.

Long Xi had no choice but to get on a taxi again and head to the nearest hotel that was booked online.

The biggest feature of the hotels in Japan was that they were managed by women. The Japanese called them “female generals”.

The female general in that hotel was a kind 50-year-old female shopkeeper.

Even though Long Xi got to the hotel at midnight and only booked one room while Yan Wangchuan tagged along, the female general did not show any impatience but received them warmly. She helped them to check him and led them to their room.

It was on a peak tourist season, so Long Xi had to share the room with Yan Wangchuan, since there was a lack of empty rooms.

Long Xi was skeptical, whether Yan Wangchuan deliberately “forgot” to book rooms ahead.

Fortunately, the room was quite large. That female general helped them to place another tatami in that room. After telling them there were some hot spring pools in the hotel, she left.

Yan Wangchuan found Long Xi was somewhat embarrassed, so he said with a smile, “Be at ease. I won’t bother you tonight! I will sleep first! Take it easy. My mom said I never snored, so I won’t interrupt your sleep.”

He took off his down jacket but left the rest of his clothes. Turning his back to Long Xi, he fell asleep on the tatami on the left.

Long Xi spent a sleepless night.

She thought of Mo Kun and felt uneasy. Her yearning for him caused her insomnia.

She remembered that the landlady said there were some hot spring pools in the hotel. They weren’t the open-air type and were available during nights. Clothes for hot springs were left in lockers which had the corresponding room numbers.

She decided to get up and go to the “Chuan Spring” in the hotel.

That was a wooden pool of spring, which seemed to be a Japanese cypress, spreading a thick smell of wood.

When she was soaked in the hot spring, she remembered having accompanied her Brother Kun to Little Mount Emei for a hot spring outing half a month ago.

Just after a few days, things had totally changed. It was cold, silent, and miserable at the moment.

That might be the greatest pain in the world!

Perhaps, the “hot spring” evaporated her tears. For that time, she couldn’t cry!

Early the next morning, at sunrise, she did not wake up Yan Wangchuan but asked for a taxi to head for the sanatorium.

She remembered that the security guard said visiting hours were only available at six o’clock in the morning.

She set off in a hurry and hoped to see him at once, but when she really saw Mo Kun who was led by a nurse pass by the road in the yard of the sanatorium, she dared not go over. Did she feel more nervous when she could meet him at once?

She hid behind the pillars of the corridor, staring at him secretly with affection in her eyes.

Mo Kun wore purple warm clothing with gauze wrapped around his head, standing in the tranquil yard alone.

His perfect profile and the outstanding figure were both extremely attractive!

He was watching a white crane dancing in the snow with warm eyes and a light smile.

Time passed by quietly while the world was peaceful. That was the right sentence to describe that scene with him inside.

Long Xi took a few deep breaths and finally gained courage. When she was about to meet him, Qiuzi overpassed her and reached Mo Kun. She patted his shoulder playfully.

Mo Kun turned his head and wore a deep smile with thick affection in his eyes.

He held Qiuzi tightly with one of his arms, touching his pale lips by her ear. He opened his mouth and proffered some honeyed words, “You finally come! I waited for you for so long! Why did you come here so late? Do you want me to punish you?”

Qiuzi whispered with shyness, “Hum… no… it’s itchy… It’s my first time to cook. Following the steps given by the boss of ‘Canteen at Midnight’, I made this pork-flavored soup for you. But the first one was burnt, so I made another.”

Mo Kun didn’t notice Long Xi’s presence and teased Qiuzi without seeing anyone. “Why did you make it twice? Even if it is a dark cuisine, I would eat it all. I will eat that first and then… you! Last night… you seemed to be a little bit cautious…”

Qiuzi deliberately raised her voice, saying in a low-key way but ostentatiously, “You haven’t fully recovered, so you can’t spare too much energy… I care about your body condition… but you don’t appreciate it! Hum, I’ll ignore you!”

Mo Kun said, “Since you saved my life, It’s OK to pay it back. I would be pleased to die under your sexy body! Come to my ward. Before the nurse gets there to inject me, we can…”

Qiuzi proudly glanced at Long Xi who was trembling and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s go back.”

Mo Kun held Qiuzi’s shoulder and went back to the corridor.

When they passed by Long Xi, Mo Kun glanced at Long Xi with no expression in his eyes. She seemed to be a stranger to him.

Long Xi felt extreme pain and finally became numb. She was too pained and tears were forcing their way out!

The vows he made to her really went away with the wind?

Long Xi was stunned over there and her eyesight blurred.

Not long before, Qiuzi turned around to say to Long Xi, “You see? He forgot about you and lives a happy life! I don’t want to see you here! If you dare to come here again, I will take you out!”

Long Xi clenched her teeth and said, “Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Qiuzi said, “You might not be afraid of me, but how about him? Chen Jian hates him greatly. Even if you saved him that day, Chen Jian would not let go of him! He will capture you and torture Mo Kun in front of you! Now, he forgot everything! Thank God that he did! Because of this, I can persuade Chen Jian to let him go.”

Long Xi suddenly realized that and asked with her voice trembling, “Do you want to take advantage of him? Because he is rich?”

Qiuzi said recklessly, “He’s a phoenix that can lay golden eggs. It will be great if he can be used by our Brutal Pranks Gang! In fact, I love him! I can stay with my beloved man and become the richest man’s wife of Z Country. Why shouldn’t I?”

Long Xi was badly hurt by the word “wife” and couldn’t help talking back, “Love? People like you really know what love is? Aren’t you the fiancee of the Vicious Dragon Gang’s boss, Yamamoto Longyi? Where is Yamamoto Longyi? He must have been killed by you. If Mo Kun has nothing, will you leave him? If he has nothing, I would still love him!”

Qiuzi said, “Really? I heard that you had promised Yan Wangchuan to stay with him for a lifetime! You guys are all targets for our company to focus on! Every one of your movements has been monitored by us! I just want to ask you whether you want Mo Kun to live a good life. If you want this, just get out!”

Long Xi said, “Of course, I hope so! You should remember that if you dare you to hurt him, I will choose to desperately fight with my life on the line!”

Even though she was reluctant to go, she had to leave for keeping Mo Kun safe and sound.

Perhaps, God was crying. It started snowing!

She braced her body and stepped out of the sanatorium, step by step in the catkin-like snow. She couldn’t control herself and fell to the ground.

Snow—it was so cold! The snow—it became larger!

She rolled over and lay on the snow, watching it fluttering toward the earth like magnolia petals, rushing to her. It was beautiful and suffocating, but very cold.

Her tears turned into crystal ice beads, melting into the snow in her mind.

Long Xi nearly froze, but she didn’t want to get up!

She hoped to lose consciousness. Then, she wouldn’t that pain…

In her trance, she seemed to see Mo Kun walk toward her, stretching a hand and dragging her into his arms. He told her in a gentle voice, “I’m just playing a joke on you. Do you feel jealous? I remember you! Let’s get married…”

She held his hand tightly. She was afraid Mo Kun would disappear if she loosened her hands!

Walking along, they moved to a grand building, which went straight into the sky. The platforms looked smaller on higher floors.

The walls were made of marble and carved with murals with bone-shape things in the gaps. Withered branches were surrounding it. It was desolate and extremely grotesque!
