Chapter 48: I Will Be Your Knight...

At Lu mansion....

Everyone went to their rooms after coming back to the mansion as it was almost midnight. Lu Feng went towards the garden and sat inside the patio. He was just sitting calmly and suddenly smiled as he remembered the incidence when he bumped into Jiang YuYan. Her strange reaction made him smiled even more and he said, "Finally they are back" He looked around inside the patio and started to remember something.

Lu Feng and Lu Qiang were going towards the patio where Jiang siblings were sitting. They saw that Jiang YuYan was crying because of what her friends said to her in the school. To calm her down, Lu Qiang promised to marry her and she was smiling. Lu Feng and Jiang Yang were happy too, after looking at her happy face.

Lu Feng was carrying his new camera with him so he said,

"Hey! I have my new camera with me. Let's take a picture of a future groom and bride with it." And held his camera in front of his face to click a photograph.

Jiang Yang : "That's a nice idea, Lu Feng." He said excitedly as he was happy to see his sister who stopped crying and was smiling ear to ear. She was looking adorable with her swollen eyes and red nose tip.

They clicked the picture of Jiang YuYan and Lu Qiang sitting on a bench in a Patio. Both were smiling and looked very happy.

Lu Feng : "I'll make two copies of it for both of you. It is proof of Lu Qiang's promise and you have to keep it safe so that he won't deny it in the future."

She didn't say anything but looked at Lu Qiang in a questioning sight. Her eyes were full of innocence which could melt anyone's heart.

Lu Qiang : "Rest assured! I never break my promises." He looked at her and said it with a firm voice.

Jiang Yang : "Yes! that's right." He said while looking at her.

Lu Feng : "Well! That's true! But still, you can use this picture to show those boys in your class. If they still bully you, just give me their names. I'll give those idiots a nice beating so that they will never ever dare to do it again."

Jiang YuYan : "Really?"

Lu Feng : "Yes! I'll always protect you from those who will try to bully you."

Jiang YuYan : "Always? Ummm!" She thought for a moment and asked, "Promise?"

Lu Feng : "Yes! That's a promise. I'll be your Knight forever."

Jiang YuYan : "Thank you, Lu Feng." She was very happy to hear this.

Jiang Yang : "Hey let's take a picture as proof of this promise too."

Lu Qiang : "That's a great idea. Give me the camera I'll click it."

Jiang Yang : "Dear cute Princess and her smart Knight, please stand here." He pointed to the vacant place between two semicircular benches. He then picked up a stick which was lying at the corner of the patio and gave it to the Lu Feng and said, "This is your sword." Then they clicked a photograph.

Lu Feng opened his eyes, got out from the patio and walked towards the mansion. He went to his room on the first floor. After entering the room he moved towards the study table and picked up a small wooden frame in his hands. It was his childhood pictures with a trophy in his hands. He opened the back cover of that photo frame and pulled out a photograph that was hidden behind his own photograph.

It was a photograph taken on that day as proof of his promise. He was standing at one corner of the patio, holdings a stick in his hands like a sword. Jiang YuYan was standing behind him holding his t-shirt's corner on either side of his waist in her hands and her face was peeking out from behind him like playing a 'Peek a Boo'. Both were having cute smiles on their faces.

At Jiang residence...

Jiang YuYan got fresh and was lying on a bed but she couldn't sleep. She got up from the bed and went to the gallery of her room. It was the same huge gallery in which one could enter through the corridor between Jiang Yang and Jiang YuYan's room. It was horizontally wide from Jiang Yang's room to Jiang YuYan's room. Both rooms had a door to enter that gallery. That gallery was decorated with beautiful ornamental plants and had a four-seater coffee table in the center.

Jiang Yuyan stood near the railing of the gallery enjoying the calm atmosphere. As she closed her eyes, she started to remember all the incidences when she met Lu Qiang after coming back to China. Their first meeting at the airport, the second time when she bumped into him in the restaurant and finally the moments at the party.

She again started to feel the same way when he was close to her. Her heart started to race and her breathing became heavy. When she remembered that kiss, she opened her eyes and kept her both hands on her chest. Again her heartbeats were buzzing in her ears making her unable to hear anything else. She took a deep breath and exhaled from her mouth. Just then someone placed a hand on her shoulder which startled her to death.

Jiang Yang got fresh and was about to switch off the light, he saw his sister standing near the railing of the gallery. He then came out of the room and directly went to her.

She turned around and saw her brother and said, "F**k. Why everyone is scaring me by suddenly standing behind me or bumping into me?"

Jiang Yang : "Language!!"

Jiang YuYan : "Can't you make a sound before doing that?. You scared the hell out of me."

Jiang Yang : "Were you thinking about someone and thought, that person is behind you?"

Jiang YuYan : "Urrghhh! Not again. Stop overthinking."

She moved towards the coffee table, sat in one chair around it and put her legs on the table. It was a convertible chair. It's back could be moved backward and had a headrest which could extend a little. It was a perfect tool to rest comfortably.

Jiang Yang : "I guess you should do that." He said while moving towards the coffee table.

Jiang YuYan : "What? She asked while staring at the starry sky.

Jiang Yang : "To stop overthinking." He said it while sitting in the chair and started to stare at the sky too.

He then looked at her. She was staring at the sky blankly. He smiled and looked back at the sky and said something that made her jump out of her chair.

Jiang Yang : "So.... how was the kiss?"
