Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

The dance floor was filled with couples dancing along with the music. The atmosphere was filled with the sweet and calming melody of the music, it was soothing. Although there were no lyrics in the music, it was still capable of making people feel the deepest emotions in it.

The same went for Li Wei and Elaina, who were dancing together, between whom there were no words, but it was as if they could listen to all the unspoken feelings.

Seeing Elaina enjoying herself, Li Wei felt calm, and so he decided to break the silence, "You came here for business, but look at you, Miss Song. You look like you are really enjoying yourself. "

Elaina who was swaying with the music, smirked, and then said, "Talk for yourself, Mr. Li. You came here for business as well, you are also enjoying yourself. To add to it, you even drank wine with one of your girl-friend, late in the night. More than me, you are having fun."

Elaina, who was dancing being carefree, suddenly felt that she was pulled with some strength. She bumped into a hard chest, "What the-," Elaina was almost going to curse, when she looked up at Li Wei's face, Elaina forgot what she was going to say.

Li Wei had a big frown on his face, and strangely, the aura around him had become extremely cold, to an extent that it was almost disturbing. Tightening his grip around his waist, almost merging her body into his, Li Wei looked straight into Elaina's eyes, and it was as if, they could see her deepest secrets.

Elaina felt her throat went dry. She gulped.

"Who did you say I was with?" Li Wei asked with a serious tone.

"D-Don't you know yourself?" Elaina said as she felt difficult to make eye contact with him. Li Wei didn't say anything, rather he raised his eyebrow.

After a pause, he said, "Would you like to elaborate yourself?"

"What?! Yesterday when you were talking to me on the phone! I heard the voice of a woman that wanted to drink wine with you and have fun. What was the name? Oh yes! It was Rita!" Elaina said in a single breath, as she gasped for air.

Li Wei: "........"

Li Wei and Elaina were still on the dance floor, swaying with the music. Elaina was still gasping for air, when she heard something, "Pfft..."

Elaina looked at Li Wei with disbelief when she found out that the voice came from Li Wei. "W-Why are you laughing, you idiot!? Do you find it funny?" she said.

"Come," Li Wei said, as he suddenly, pulled Elaina out of the crowd who were still dancing. "Where? Li Wei! What are you doing?" Elaina said as she was taken by Li Wei somewhere.

Li Wei didn't answer her, but he seemed kind of excited, and that's what made Elaina puzzled. Finally, they stopped at a distant corner of the banquet hall.

"Why are we here?" Elaina asked Li Wei, who took out his phone and then typed a message.

Elaina sighed, seeing that he had no intention of answering her, she could only wait. Taking a drink, that was kept beside at the table full of delicacies, Elaina looked at Li Wei was seemed in a peaceful mood.

'Is he having mood swings?' Elaina thought, on seeing the speed at which he changed his expressions and the aura around him.

Elaina took a sip from her glass of wine, she was looking at the couple dancing when she noticed something. A young man was walking towards them, he had a smile on his face, which made him look humble and kind.

Elaina looked at him for a second, finding nothing special, she diverted her attention on the wine she was drinking. She realized that the man was walking towards them, confused, she took a sip of the wine.

At first, she thought that it was her imagination, but after some time, she realized that the man was approaching them. She, who was unfamiliar with him, looked towards Li Wei.

Li Wei looked like he was expecting that man to come, and from his expression, it seemed that he knew this man. 'He must be someone familiar with Li Wei,' she thought, as she was taking a sip from her wine.

"You are here," Li Wei said, and the man nodded. Li Wei then looked towards Elaina, who was taking a sip from her wine, and said, "Elaina, this is Oriel Margarita Kovalev," paused and then coming close to her ear, he whispered, "You can also call him Rita, the 'woman' on that had a drink with me, that night."

Elaina: "....."

Elaina who was normal until she realized what Li Wei whispered in her ear, choked on the wine sip she was drinking.

"Cough, cough...," Elaina coughed because she had choked on wine, could not believe what she just heard.

"Here, are you ok?" Li Wei said as he gave her, his handkerchief, and lightly patted on her back. Taking the handkerchief, Elaina took some time to calm herself.

Finally, after a moment, she cleared her throat and then said, "N-Nice to meet you, Mr. Oriel. I am sorry for my behavior just now."

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Song. And its completely fine, I hope you are ok."

Elaina could not believe what she just heard. This young man, who looked completely normal, but his voice was high pitched, or in simple words, resembling that of a woman. In medical terms, this is termed Puberphonia.

Puberphonia is a condition that usually affects men. There are some women who have a high pitched voice like their childhood voice after puberty, but society never has a problem with that. But when it comes to men, it is not considered normal. Of course, it will be weird to hear a high pitch speaking voice coming from a full-grown man, right? And people with puberphonia often get misidentified as a woman when speaking through the phone.

Suddenly, Li Wei's phone rang. 

"I will be back, please excuse me," Li Wei said, as he excused himself to take a phone call. Now, with only Oriel and Elaina, the atmosphere was kind of awkward. 

"Aiden told me about what happened. It is not a surprise that you mistook me for a woman, due to my voice. Rest assured, he was not with any woman that night. It was me," Oriel said with a smile, as he broke the silence. 

Elaina who was still in a dilemma, came back to reality when Oriel spoke. Despite, her feeling embarrassed, Elaina managed to show no emotion on her face. 

She said, "I am sorry for such a misunderstanding, Mr. Oriel," feeling somewhat apologetic as well. 

Oriel answered, "Wait, there is no need to apologize. I can understand. But can I give you any advice?" 

Elaina nodded, after which Oriel said, "He loves you too much. And from what I can sense, you have feelings for him as well, don't take too long, who knows what the destiny has for you both ahead. You should hold on to him tightly, I have full faith in my friend. He would never hurt you."

Elaina was stunned by this. 

There was no room for denial. Every word that Oriel said was completely right. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Elaina sighed in her heart. The words that he said, kept on ringing in her mind. 

"I am sorry if I have overstepped my boundaries. Now then, I will take my leave," Oriel said with a light smile, as he went away. Seeing the disappearing back, Elaina kept her wine glass away. With a sigh, she proceeded towards the balcony, that was behind her.

As soon as she entered the balcony, she felt a chill down her spine, but it was not bad, rather it felt pleasant. Elaina looked towards the sky that was decorated with stars that were twinkling. 

Suddenly, she remembered something, that someone told her. 

'Never ignore the person that truly loves you. Because one day, you will realize that you lost the moon, while you were counting the stars.'

"Is Li Wei my moon?" Elaina mumbled as she looked in a daze. 

.....

Li Wei who came back after completing his call found Oriel on his way to Eliana. 

"I cleared everything to your wife. I am sure, she was jealous. The expression on her face was cute," Oriel said with an amusing smile.

As he said this, he felt a glare on him, it was none other than Li Wei. 

"Cough, I was just complimenting her, don't get me wrong," Oriel said as he saw Li Wei giving him a death glare. 

"By the way, she went towards the balcony. Enjoy your time, I will be leaving," Oriel said as he left and disappeared in the crowd. 

Li Wei, seeing him leave, proceeded towards the balcony. 

On the balcony, he spotted Elaina, she was looking at the sky and looked in a daze. 

Suddenly, he felt nostalgic. 

The memory of the night of the party, that they both attended, the day before her accident one year ago, came to his mind. 

Elaina who was still looking at the stars felt that someone was there, and so she turned around, only to see Li Wei standing at the door of the balcony. 

"What are you doing here?" Li Wei asked as he walked towards Eliana. 

Elaina didn't answer him, yet waited for him to come over, as she turned around again. 

But instead of standing next to her, Li Wei did something else. 

Elaina who was waiting for Li Wei to come near her suddenly felt something warm on her back. She realized that it was Li Wei, who was hugging her from the back.

Eliana's heartbeat increased at this. 

"W-What are you doing?" she said, as she felt his hands on her waist. 

"Just," Li Wei said this, as he paused and then bringing his lips to close to Eliana's ears, he said, "Just making up to my jealous wife."

Elaina shuddered when she felt Li Wei's breath on her neck. 

"W-What are you saying?" Elaina said as she looked towards his warm and big hands that were around her thin waist. 

"I am saying the truth. Weren't you jealous when you heard Rita's voice on the phone?" Li Wei said, he was clearly enjoying this. 

"I-I was not jealous," Elaina mumbled. 

"Don't lie," Li Wei said. 

"You-, and why are we like this! Someone will come here, leave me, Li Wei," Elaina said as she started to struggle in Li Wei's arms, in the hope of him to leave her. 

But, Li Wei only tightened his grip and then, he skillfully turned Elaina towards him, so that she was facing her. 

"Let them come. I am not afraid to tell anyone that you are my wife," Li Wei said with a devilish smirk.

"You-! This is against the contract!" Elaina was going to say something, but alas, before she could even complete her sentence, Li Wei sealed her lips with his.
