Just Because I'm Not An Ordinary Girl

Chapter 5 - The Truth

While Donghua sits on the bed, he was thinking of a lot of things that happened throughout the last thousands and thousands of years. The only thing that ever made him laugh and smile a lot was Fengjiu, but she also made him worry sick and out of control too. Due to his childhood life, he hardly knows how to get along with people but everything changed once she entered his life. He holds on to the tail in his hand again that is hung at his waist. He recalls the earlier conversation that they had, the first few words she said since he found her.

"Dijun... I'm very... filthy right now... I don't want to dirty your bed."

"Silly girl, at this point she still worries about me! Why can't she worry about herself for once." he thought to himself.

After all that thinking Donghua finally realized that Fengjiu had been taking a bath for quite a long time. It's been over two hours, so he waited for a few more minutes to see if she was about to call him but there wasn't any sound. "Did she fainted in the bath? Or did she drowned?" he says to himself and started panicking. So he decided to knock on the door, calling her name a few times "Jiu'er... Jiu'er... Jiu'er... " and there is still no answer at all.

He flings open the and notice her still leaning inside the tub against the wall, he runs towards her to check on her "Jiu'er... Jiu'er... Jiu'er... " and realized she just fell asleep. He picks her up and grabs a towel to wrap around her. He takes her out and gently places her down on the bed softly stroking her hair out of her face.

He went to the dresser, took out a thick top and decided to dress her in it. Since he is much bigger in size than her, the top is like a mid-length dress for her. While he was dressing her she woke up by surprise. "Dijun... what are... you doing?" she sleepily asks. "What do you think I'm doing? You fell asleep when you were taking a bath. I can't let you slip into the water nor sleep with just wet towels. You will catch a cold." he teases her.

Her face was turning red and she turned her head away. "So... you saw... everything???" she embarrassingly asks. "Jiu'er, why are you looking away? I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that it's just..." he says but just hesitates to finish his sentence. "Why didn't you close your eyes then?" she asks while still looking away.

"Jiu'er I'm sorry, I don't have my power and I... never had to dress a woman before so I... didn't want to end up hurting you." he replies with careful thoughts of what words to say. "But still, you could have woken me up in the bathtub then I could have dressed myself." she says, then silence falls upon them for a while.

"Jiu'er... I'm sorry that I pushed you away before. If I didn't push you away, you wouldn't have ended up being unhappy for so long and drinking so much that night. I never wanted to see you unhappy, I just wanted for you to find the one destined for you, to be happy and safe for the rest of your life. I was the one that pushed you into this dead end." he says in a very emotional tone and tears started to fall down his cheek.

Fengjiu turns back facing him, and she caresses his cheek with her tiny hands. "Dijun, I told you before I can only love you, my heart doesn't have space for anyone else. If I have to marry anyone else but you, I rather die! We foxes are stubborn once we set our eyes on the one, we can't love another." she whispers to him.

"Jiu'er, can you give me another chance, an opportunity to make things right?" he asks her while placing his hands on top of her's that's was on his face. "YES! Of course, I can but if in the end, if your decision is still pushing me away I don't know if I can handle another heartbreak." she sadly says. "No! I won't ever push you away again." he firmly says.

"But didn't you say If we insist on the relationship, it would surely cause ceaseless wars within the four seas, all shall be in misery and neither of us will meet a peaceful end." she says with a confused emotion on her face.
