The Tender Flower {Meteor Garden 2018}

Chapter 33

It was close to ten thirty in the morning and not one of the individuals in the group had awoken. Everyone had had a wonderful late night and the couples were all cuddled together in different rooms, different places.

The first one to wake up was Meiza. She breathed in heavily as everything that happened last night came rushing into her mind and she tried hard to control her smile but she failed. Her large grin crept up on her lips and a small blush.

She grabbed a white shirt that was near the bed and put it on. She knew it was his and she purposely put it on. It was long enough to cover her up to her mid thighs.

She sneaked a glance over to the person sleeping deeply beside her and smiled. Her heart was full and she couldn't help but feel complete. Meiza slowly got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

She washed her face and smiled at her reflection. There were no words to describe her happiness. Her eyes slowly trailed down her neck and she found the purple splotches on her neck.

"Aiya, this boy," Meiza said, shaking her head. She covered her neck with her hair.

She left the bathroom and grabbed her phone. Nobody had texted on their group chat so Meiza could only assume that they had also had a good night.

"Tianshi?"

Meiza's feet immediately dragged her towards the voice. She grabbed a sweater for him on the way and stopped near the bed where he was now sitting.

'He sure is a sight to see in the morning,' Meiza thought.

"Good morning," She chirped, handing him the maroon sweater. Lei rubbed his eyes and stared up at Meiza. He never liked mornings but today was different. Seeing Meiza the first thing in the morning was a real treat. Nothing could get better than this.

"Good morning," he replied, pulling the sweater over his body. Lei couldn't really remember the details of last night since he was super drunk but he'll never forget that moment of bliss he felt. He hoped Meiza felt the same way.

Meiza placed her hands on his shoulders and smiled down at him. His hands slowly crept up her legs and rested on the back of her thighs.

"So..." Meiza giggled a little, her cheeks aching from smiling.

"Are you okay?" Lei asked immediately. "Was... it okay?"

"Yes... absolutely... I'm... just..." Meiza tried to say but she couldn't think of any words to describe her happiness. She giggled at herself again.

"I know," Lei smiled up at her. His head was starting to pound but he tried to resist it for now.

Meiza sighed and bent down to give him a small kiss on the lips to which Lei replied to. Once she pulled away, he gazed up at her. His eyes raked every detail of her face and held his hands up to push the hair away from her face so he could see properly.

"What's this?" Lei's eyes studied the splotches on her neck. He pulled her down onto his lap so he could get a closer look.

"It's not a big deal, Lei," Meiza mumbled. Lei pushed her hair back with one hand and lightly traced the bruises.

"I'm sorry," he whispered unknowingly which made Meiza shake her head.

"Don't be. I'm glad they're there. It reminds me of the night that changed my life. It reminds me of you and how happy I feel. So no, don't be sorry," she said lovingly. "I surely must have left some too."

She winked making him smile widely. He turned his head upwards with a small smile on his face.

"Are there any?" He asked and Meiza ran her thumb over a spot on his neck.
