Although Zhi Xun was not religious, her prayers had been answered in a surprising manner.
A mysterious, anonymous stranger had suddenly paid a large sum of money towards her mother's hospital bills. She had just submitted her application for a week of absence from her lectures to visit her mother. Not only was the money able to cover all her mother's existing hospital bills, there had been a balance of unutilised money, in which the hospital used to cover her mother's upcoming bills and usage expenses as well.
Ever since she posted about finishing ten dishes of food at that restaurant where Saviour had proposed for her to become his girlfriend, her blog had increased in hits and even TYGao had started to promote her site externally to his circle of friends. He had continued to leave daily supportive messages and comments on her blog to inspire her to blog. As a result of her blog's current popularity, she had been earning slightly more income from AdSense, and she had also started to open up about her relationship with Saviour. It had been already three weeks since she accepted him on an one-month trial basis. She was already starting to miss him, fearing that he would be the one who wanted to leave.
The funniest thing was the fact that she still didn't know his real name. She thought it would be silly for her to be asking him for his name at this point, when they had already dated for weeks. Maybe she would come across one of his documents, his passport or find out some other way.
Saviour had been accompanying her for her classes since their semester started about two weeks ago. When she asked if it would affect his work schedules, he insisted he was on flexible work but may had to take calls in between her classes and meals. He was also a good cook. He had brought what he called their 'love bentos' to her on her university campus, much to the envy of Runyu and her housemates. One of her classmates and a new member of her and Runyu's 'league', a homosexual young man by the name of Xavier Yan Wei, had also been envious that her new boyfriend had been so handsome.
After Saviour's appearance in their classes, Yan Wei had been so annoying that Runyu and the others would toss scrunched up paper at him sometimes. But recently, he had been asking curious questions about Saviour that even Zhi Xun wanted to strangle him sometimes. But he had been such a good friend ever since he transferred to their university during the previous semester. The girls, particularly Runyu, had enjoyed his company despite his sexual preference. It had been such a pity he preferred the company of men.
It was now time for Zhi Xun's final class before she left for her visit to the countryside to see her mother in hospital. As in her other classes, Saviour had responded remarkably when answering her lecturers' questions, despite having graduated from a different major. It was as if he had been doing his homework on the courses she was enrolled in, and had been doing her university assignments. He even earned much praise from her lecturers. One lecturer had even aimed to trap him with a trick section. "What is sex?" the lecturer had asked, only to receive the correct reply "gender, division of a species that is normally determined by genitalia". One boyfriend in a previous year had been tricked and responded with the answer "a step by mankind to reproduce more of the next generation".
As the weekends were near and she would be leaving to the countryside soon, Tian Yu invited Zhi Xun to have a picnic with him by the river, for lunch. As Zhi Xun was rather free, having already packed her luggage and only still needed to get a few things for her family back home, she agreed.
When she arrived, a checkered mat had already been nicely laid out for the two of them. It had been breezy with tall palm trees around the area. Saviour really had a knack for choosing locations, she thought.
"Let's take selfies," he said. She agreed. They were done after twenty selfies of her in her sundress and him in his new Hawaiian getup. From the pictures, it was hard for anyone to believe they were not a couple, they simply looked as if they were made for each other.
"Will you call me when you get home?" he asked. "You won't leave me all alone here, would you?"
"Don't be silly. When I get back, it hasn't even been a month yet. This month has thirty-one days, am I right?"
"Can you consider giving me a few days' grace?" He teased, pushing her down on the mat as he tickled her with the inflorescence on a blade of grass he had just picked from the ground. As usual, being on top of her and in close proximity often triggered sensuality and sparks of desire within her.
"Could you stay the night at my place?" she asked. This way, I can see you when I wake up, and before I head to the airport in the morning."
"You didn't answer me," he tickled her again. And again.
"Okay, fine, stop it!" she shouted, falling prey to his tickles. "Okay, you win! I'll extend the deadline by a few more days."
"What if I don't want to let you go?" he teased again, running his fingers over her lips. "I can't wait till I proclaim you as mine."
She blushed, but before she could say anything, his lips were already on hers. His tongue skilfully invaded the inside of her mouth as if he was exploring his territory. His hands held hers over her head, as his body pressed against hers. If they were not alone in such an open territory, she would have lost control. The minute they heard footsteps approaching, he quickly pulled away from her and ended their kiss.
She still was able to taste the sweetness of his tongue inside her mouth, as they pretended to read a magazine together to evade suspicion from the other people at the scene.
"Er... I need to go buy things for my family," she said.
"Why not you bring along your luggage and passport, and come over tonight?" he suddenly asked. "It's nearer to the airport, and I could give you a lift to the airport. I'll be at my sister's. She won't be in tonight." He didn't want her to know just yet, that he partially owned the apartment that he and his sister lived in.
"It's rather bulky for me to lug it up the subway," she replied.
"Just call a taxi," he said. "I'll pay for it."
"The distance is so far," she said. "It's expensive."
He sighed. Why did she have to be so frugal? He quickly told her, "I can claim your taxi fees as part of my transportation allowance. Just get me a receipt. As I recall, there's no name on the receipt. I can claim for it, I'm sure."
She felt a tinge of excitement. "Okay then. I'll be there at seven."
He had deposited quite a bit of money into her savings account earlier. Hopefully, it would be of help to her, since she had a number of things to buy for her family, whom she had not seen for almost a year now.
One week. It would be one week till she next saw him. Perhaps, she could buy a little something and some magic would happen tonight. She knew just what to do. Maybe, he would break his rules for her tonight. She would make him a lucky man tonight.
She was typing up a message to Runyu and another housemate by the name of Lu Qiyun. "Meet me at the Jiufeng Square. Cafe Ninetails Little Red. I'll reach in half an hour. I need your help on something. Let's talk over tea."
