Trial Of Love Chapter 367 - Be With Me?

Yun Shen was in delight that the girl finally called his name and acknowledge his presence. However, he didn't know what to do as well. It's been a while and the girl has been so cold towards him. How he wished he could run to her and hugged her tightly. He has missed the old times they spent together. 

"Li Zi, how are you?" He asked for he thought it was the best way to start things between them. 

"I'm fine," Elizabeth responded casually and thought despite there indifference, she should at least give him an answer. 

"Are you heading to the kitchen?" Yun Shen inquired again about the girl's plan. 

"Yes." Elizabeth answered shortly for the question only required her to answer with a yes or no.

"Can I join you?" 

Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment. It was another close-ended question. Her answer could either clear things between them or worse. 

She could only nod her heart and not speak a word. 

Yun Shen took it as a yes and hurried to the girl's side. He was beaming with joy that the girl has finally and slowly acknowledge him.

When they arrived in the kitchen, not a single word came out of each other their mouths. Yun Shen didn't even offer his help and just watch the girl do her thing on her own. 

Elizabeth's mind was going insane with the current situation. Her mind was pondering on how she should handle the situation. 

'What the heck is Shen doing? Shouldn't he be with Little Yan by now?'

She was a.s.sured that Yun Shen would be busy with Little Yan. He as already observes how he went on with his day. Even though he has been avoiding him. That was only so that her plans won't be ruined by him as well. 

One would expect that they'll be eating food which the island could provide but no... They have all sorts of fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry ad etch... The fridge even contains all Elizabeth and Little Yan's favorite dessert which has always caused Elizabeth to be suspicious of how far they are to the main island. 

Elizabeth took out some ingredients to make a sandwich. As she was making her sandwich, she finally realized the presence of another person in the room. She has almost forgotten about Yun Shen. 

She looked up and glanced awkwardly at him. She couldn't find the courage to speak but the words came out of her mouth naturally. "Would you like some?" 

Yun Shen was looked completely surprised and was unable to answer the girl right away. He s.h.i.+vers in shock which snaps him back to his senses. "Thank you..." 

Elizabeth felt a strange feeling inside her when she heard Yun Shen's answer in such a warm and soft tone. She clenched onto the ingredients she was holding onto before she went back and finished doing what she intended to do. 

It didn't too her a long time to finish what she made. She ended up making sandwiches. What surprised her, she even put ingredients which Yun Shen loves to eat. 

'I must be losing my mind.' She thought to herself as she went ahead and brought the sandwich she made to the man. 

Yun Shen who waited by the corner like a puppy eyes were sparkling. He was in heaven when he received such a gift from the girl. I'll be almost a month nor or, so they've been together. Since they arrived at the island the girl hasn't cook for him at all. Worse, since his return, she hasn't cooked to anyone at all even to Little Yan. 

They both went to the table and ate the sandwich. The atmosphere between them was dreary and awkward. They utter no words which made the silence in the room so suffocating. 

Eventually, after Yun Shen has a few bites of the sandwich. He sought the opportunity to converse with the girl. 

"How've you been feeling?" He asked. 

Elizabeth was bewildered that Yun Shen suddenly inquired about her situation. Seeing things have been off-road between them lately, she too took the chance for them to ease the journey. "I'm fine, you..."

She couldn't finish her question when she saw the happiness in Yun Shen's face when she answered his question. She was about to ask how he was as well but Yun Shen already realized that and answered naturally. 

"I've been fine, Little Yan misses you. She's worried that you might not be feeling too well. Have you not been feeling too well lately? I can get a doctor for you..."

Yun Shen's eyes widen as he realized what he had done. He stopped and regained himself from speaking. He spoke too much and did not think about their current situations. 

"No... I'm fine." Elizabeth responded seeing how regretful Yun Shen looked.

Her words were like heaven singing into Yun Shen's ears. As if the dark clouds hovering above him have slowly faded away and now the heavens have sung such joyous song down upon him. 

"Li Zi, thank you..." He responded. 

Elizabeth was dumbfounded as to what he meant. She wanted to ask but dare not. She can't get her emotions to affect her right now for she needed to get some answers. Her best option is to cooperate with Yun Shen in order to escape the island and find Petrovich. 

Yun Shen got up his seat and went closer to Elizabeth. He got down on his knees and looked up at the girl. "Li Zi, I know your upset. I know you hate our current situation. I know you are worried about your family. So am I... You know that someone is after my family and here I am hiding while the rest of my family are still in danger. But trust me, I'll solve all of this in no time. So please, please take care of yourself. It hurts me to see you looking like this. I can't bear the thought that something horrible is happening to you while I'm away. Li Zi, please..." 

Yun Shen boldly went even closer to the girl and surprisingly planted a kiss on her face. Elizabeth's eyes lit in shock and her body s.h.i.+ver from the sensation and froze. 

After planting such a pa.s.sionate kiss on the girl's lips. He pushed himself away and looked at her face once again and spoke from the heart.

"Li Zi, I promise you I'll help you too. I know you've regained your memory. But please, let me solve my problem first. If you have anything you wish to share with me tell me. I am here for you..." Yun Shen sighs as he realizes he must have shocked the girl by now. 

"I'm sorry if I've said too much. I'm sorry to've kept you away. But Li Zi, I was forced into this. I know you wished to be with me too but right now..." He went ahead and planted another kiss instead of explaining further. 

"Li Zi, be with me?"

Elizabeth stared directly at Yun Shen's eyes and saw the sorrow and longing. She has been so distant with him that the image of the man has been pushed aside deep in her subconscious. If she was to ask and paint him by memory she couldn't clearly picture him out. 

"I-"
