This Is My Room

After explaining her drawing to Do Huan, Long Jia meditated. She told Fan to guard the room so that none could disturb her.

She took a deep breath in and out, in and out, in and out...her fingers twitched. She concentrated on the voices in her surroundings - the sound of the wing bowing and trees rustling, noises made by the small insects who had made her lawn their home, the voices of people talking in hushed voices and slowly started losing herself in her thoughts.

Long Jia found herself surrounded by snow. She felt like she had been here before. The winds were cold but calm. Not a single being could be seen. Then! She heard a voice. It was calling her. Her feet moved against the better judgement of her brain. Her heartbeat quickened. She wanted to run and escape! But her feet won't listen and her eyes won't open.

Long Jia started sweating! Her hands were freezing but her back was soaked! Suddenly, the world started spinning and she fell down.

Long Jia opened her eyes and saw Wu Bingwen. She faced to her left and saw Fan shaking her. She held her hand up and he stopped.

"Are you alright?" questioned Wu Bingwen with his same old poker face. His voice held no worry.

"Wangfei is fine. I thank the Wangye for the concern." She replied. Her answer was perfect. She answered as an employee does to a boss. Bingwen nodded and went to bathe. Long Jia sighed. She was thankful that he did not ask further. How could she answer him when she herself did not know what that dream was?!

Ding Fan left the room after ensuring that everything was alright.

Long Jia drank water and laid on the bed. She closed her eyes for a mere five minutes and found herself on that snow-covered mountain, again. She jerked herself up. Her eyes bulged; wide with shock. She took deep breaths and calmed down.

Wu Bingwen came out after changing and ready to sleep. His collar was a little deep and Long Jia could see his well-defined muscles. His skin looked soft. She wanted to feel it. She gulped after seeing the irresistible temptation. Long Jia wanted to avert her eyes but her body seemed to have a mind of its own.

Wu Bingwen saw her staring. He walked towards her and sat beside her on the bed.

Long Jia was startled. She pointed towards him and said: "Wh-WHat are you doing here?!" Long Jia realised what she had done and swiftly folded her finger into her palm and covered her mouth. She looked at him accusingly. But, the culprit just tilted his head and said: "This is my room."

"WHAAAT!!" Long Jia screamed no longer caring for the era she was in.
