Love is like a waterfall: Eternal love of dream fanfic

{31} Liking XiaoBai

Feng Jiu stepped inside the bathroom. A flowery aroma filled the room making her grin. It was as big as a room. Although it wasn't anything new to her. She had been a princess all her life. The only difference was the change of style. But it made her incredibly happy and excited regardless. Then she saw that there was a Big round Soup bowl Freestanding tub, Behind which was a full-sized window. She gasped. Upon further examination, she understood that she could see outside but people couldn't watch what was happening inside. She stared at it all for a while in shock. Dong Hua Di Jun did this for her. She almost squealed with delight but then quickly covered her mouth and took off her clothes stepping into the tub. The water was considerably warm washing all her fatigue away.

It is small, but okay. Di Jun...So all this time I was downstairs with Yan and Fang Lei he prepared warm water for me. I didn't know he could be sweet. I think I have been misunderstanding him a little all along. It seems like he sees me as a long lost friend. She giggled. Well, then I can just be his friend, right? To be able to see him every day makes my heart flutter. Wait. No, your heart shouldn't flutter for a friend. I have to have some rules to friendzone him in my heart.

She slapped the water once in a while whenever she grew excited and then rested her head on the surface of the tub and closed her eyes. Her mind went back to the time she could easily jump into Dong Hua's lap and he would pet her for as long as she wished. She would literally jump into his bed wanting to cuddle with him and he said nothing but welcomed her with open arms. She couldn't talk then, but he did talk to her. Not a lot but definitely more than he did with Lian Song and Si Ming together. She would reply with expressions or actions. Even though she didn't do much for him he had come to be really fond of her cuteness and mischief and how she would protect him without giving it a thought even though he didn't need any help from anyone. Simply because he was the god at the very top of others. He would take her along everywhere. At some point, even Zhi He (The foster sister of Dong Hua she previously had a fight with) had envied her. Thinking about that made her laugh but also filled her with a tenacious desire. Just once, she wanted to be able to feel his warm hands on her cheeks again. So much that she didn't mind being a pet again. But then something inside her told her to stop and be mature. It was the part of her that had been hurt years before. Who didn't intend to come out? Which resided in the corner of her heart. Sometimes trembling, sometimes somber. Though it secretly protected her, telling her to stop whenever that innate, almost indomitable desire of being able to love Dong Hua and he loving her back rose inside her.

She stepped out and wore her clothes. She gazed at the mirror which was now covered with mist. She cleared it with her palm and stared at her reflection. She touched her forehead where the phoenix mark had been. She gave herself a soft smile.

Dong Hua rushed into his room and locked the door. His face was calm. He looked into space for a moment and then walked over to the bed. He couldn't help but think about how cute Feng Jiu was as he lay in between the sheets. He was kinda looking forward to being her friend. He was so happy that he was able to make her stay with him and also manipulate her into being her friend.

 Well even if it was Lian Song he would never do such a lame thing as taking revenge. Which was not even proper revenge. Well actually people could ask him to help them in cultivation or to help them exterminate formidable enemies, but never in his life, a person had demanded such a small thing from him. And seeing how Feng Jiu had been hesitating before to be near him, it was clearly big progress with Feng Jiu. Her cute, shy smiles, her pouting, her stubbornness, her cheerful nature, or the way she wasn't afraid in the least to duel with anyone. 

He had seen her battle with Zhi He and the spider in the green sea. Everything about her seemed just perfect to him. He was surprised at his own thoughts. He let out a cough as to dismiss his thoughts and took out a Buddhist scripture. He didn't care that he was in the freaking mortal realm. A monk after all!
