Chapter 2 Two

The next morning, both Billy and Xiao Xie were still sleeping until the sun came up. Billy was the first to wake up, and he smiled seeing Xiao Xie beside him. He was really happy that he would no longer be the only one staying alone. With Xiao Xie now with him, he felt good and not lonely like he was when he first arrived in China.

"You are indeed my life, my saving grace," Billy muttered and kissed Xiao Xie's forehead. His action woke Xiao Xie up, who had been exhausted from the previous night. Billy couldn't get enough of her until morning, which left her extremely exhausted. She slightly opened her eyes to see Billy smiling at her lovingly.

"Good morning," she muttered, feeling exhausted.

"Good morning, sunshine," Billy replied and kissed her on the lips. Xiao Xie blushed and smiled. She tried to stand up, but Billy stopped her.

"You are too exhausted to stand up now; just rest," he told her. "Don't do anything; I'll be back," he added and quickly left.

Xiao Xie wondered what he was up to but smiled. She actually needed to rest; she really felt exhausted and lay in bed, watching the sun's rays from the window.

After a while, Billy came back into the room with a tray of bread toast and tea.

"I prepared this; it will be good for you," he said to her as he dropped the tray beside the bed.

Xiao Xie didn't expect that Billy would go to prepare breakfast for her. She smiled.

"Are you going to keep preparing breakfast for me like this?" she asked, looking at his face.

"Yes, my lady," Billy replied, smiling. "I want to spoil you in every way," Billy added, looking serious.

Xiao Xie stared into his eyes and didn't know what to say. She felt so lucky to be with Billy and have him.

"I want to be spoiled," she said, smiling.

Billy pulled closer and kissed her.

"Then I will make sure to spoil you," Billy promised. He helped Xiao Xie up from the bed and placed the food tray in the right position for her. He not only prepared the food but also fed her with his hand.

Xiao Xie thought that Billy was really doing as he said; he was truly spoiling her. She ate slowly as Billy fed her, enjoying the food.

"Aren't you eating?" Xiao Xie realized that Billy was only feeding her.

"If you are full, I am full," Billy told her jokingly.

"No, I cannot be selfish. You also eat," Xiao Xie told him. She decided to feed him too.

Billy allowed her to feed him, and the two fed each other, creating a lovely scenario.

After they shared the food, Billy took back the food tray to the kitchen to get it washed.

Xiao Xie yawned lazily; she decided to check the time to know what time it was.

"Oh no!" she exclaimed. "Twelve pm. I have a class at one," she lamented and immediately rushed out of bed to take her bath.

"What is it?" Billy, who was just entering the room, asked, seeing her rushing.

"Billy, I have forgotten that I have a class today. I need to leave," she said hurriedly.

Billy stood in front of her to stop her.

Xiao Xie looked confused; she told him she needed to attend a class, but he was blocking her way.

"What is it?" she asked slowly.

"And you have also forgotten you just got engaged to me," Billy said, pointing to himself.

Xiao Xie looked at him as if she didn't understand what he was saying. She wondered how getting engaged had to do with her going to class.

"And today is not meant for anything else but for you and me," Billy added.

But Xiao Xie seemed not to understand him still.

"Meaning?" she asked.

"Meaning, you are not allowed to go anywhere today," Billy told her, smiling.

"But I need to attend a class," Xiao Xie said adamantly.

"I know, but you don't have to go to this class. Your friends will take notes for you, and you will also be getting transferred soon," Billy gave reasons for stopping her.

"And, moreover, I need you to stay with me. You can only go to one place today, and that is with me," Billy added, looking at Xiao Xie for approval.

Xiao Xie smiled secretly; she actually wanted to go to class. But she also remembered that it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go to class that day because of the people. But seeing Billy protest made her want to tease him more. So she pretended to be adamant to have him talk.

"But what if I want to go to class regardless?" Xiao Xie decided to tease him more.

"Then I will have to stop you," Billy replied, knowing Xiao Xie must be trying to tease him.

"Then I will have no choice but to run away," Xiao Xie said, smiling.

"Then I will catch you," Billy replied, knowing she was just joking.

Xiao Xie looked at Billy, trying to see which way he would catch her. She dodged to one side and then the other, then ran towards the other side. Billy ran towards her and caught her.

"Caught you," Billy said and lifted her off the ground.

Xiao Xie couldn't help but laugh as Billy lifted her off the ground.

"I'm not releasing you till you beg me," Billy told her and took her to the bathroom.

"We are taking our bath together," Billy informed her and let her down into the bathtub. He also joined her in the tub.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Xie looked surprised to see Billy actually joining her in the tub.

"It's what it looks like," Billy smiled and pulled off his clothes.

Xiao Xie instantly closed her eyes and turned her face around. Billy smiled mockingly.

"You don't want to take your bath with me?" Billy asked.

"Yes, go away," Xiao Xie replied, still closing her eyes.

"Alright, I will put on my clothes and let you bathe," Billy said, pretending to be serious.

Xiao Xie sighed and decided to slowly open her eyes, thinking Billy actually meant what he said. As she opened her eyes, she saw that Billy was still naked.

As soon as Billy saw that she opened her eyes, he pulled Xiao Xie into the tub, soaking them both with water. Xiao Xie giggled; she didn't have any choice but for them to bathe together.

After taking their baths in the same tub, playing and soaking the bathroom floor with water because of their playful sparring in the bathroom, they finally finished bathing and left the bathroom.

"You need to dress up fast," Billy told Xiao Xie as they got out of the bathroom.

"Are we going somewhere?" Xiao Xie asked curiously.

"Yes, we need to be ready fast so we won't be late," Billy told her.

Xiao Xie wondered where they had to go, but she quickly got dressed. They both got dressed and headed out in Billy's car.

Xiao Xie was surprised when the car pulled up at the front of the marriage registration office.

"What are we doing here?" Xiao Xie asked Billy, staring at him.

"We are here to make our union legal," Billy told her, smiling.

Xiao Xie looked surprised and just stared at Billy.
