She lay there on the couch with the book in hand. She sees Di Jun walking to her. Her eyes light up. He walk up and make her sit up. He takes his boots and put on for her. Without a word the library is in dead silence looking at them.
"I wish someone like her can stare at me like this."
Someone remark softy. While some of them actually drool looking at the curvy figure of this new born.
Di Jun got up and approach the in charge to inform him that those books he will take it with him and return some other day. The in charge in daze, he nod his head. While the fairies are watching Di Jun is sighing why the new born got so much attention from him.
Di Jun turn around and raise his hand to Hu Li. She pick up all the books and get up. Di Jun takes the books on one hand and the other to hold Hu Li's hand. Hu LI is still holding on to the book that she is reading while the other hand interlock with his fingers. The rest of the mystic beings part a way for them to walk. They all watch the two disappear in the the clouds.
Reaching back home. Di Jun did not talk. He goes off to the kitchen to fetch a pot of hot tea. Hu Li put down the book on the bed. She watch him getting busy while she slowly remove the clothes.
"Stop." She look up and see him walking in with the pot of tea. Her top is already removed halfway, it leaves the shape of her breast shown to him. He fix her top back and turn around to get a cup of tea when she hug him from the back.
"Are you angry again? Please don't. I just want to go get some books."
"I am not angry at that. I ..." He feel lost of words. He turn around and she continue to hug him. As she continue to hug him, she listen to his heartbeat. At that moment, it sound like soft beating of a drum. He is not angry at all like he said. Something in him is making him look angry that she can't understand. For a while they stand there in the same position. A fairy brings in a plate of fresh fruits. She quietly put it on the table and fly out. Feeling warm, Hu Li push herself away from him and look at his face. It seems like his spirit have leave his body. He is not moving and breathing rather shallow. She wave her hands in front of his face but he doesn't have much reaction. She leave him in this state and sit down to read her book. She trying to find any information about Hei.
After awhile, she doze off with the book in her hands. Di Jun also return to himself. He wonder why does he zone off sometimes. He turn around to see Hu Li on the couch sleeping with the book in her hands. He take it off and look at the title of the book. 'First world, magical beast and demons' He realize why she is reading books. She wants to find out who is Hei. Di Jun remember Hei a long time ago. They were one of first who arrived at this mystical sky. They were all in their original beast form. No one can understand any other creatures except themselves. They spend a hundred years to understand what is going on and found the magical pond by accident. Hei was one of the few who transformed into a two legged creature and able to transform back to beast form fast. Soon he can make complex sound from his mouth. Hei is consider the first founder of the sky palace with mystical beasts. His real form is a eight tail red fox.
Di Jun sits near his favourite window with a couch and read his book. As he read, Hu Li Is awake and she rub her eyes to see Di Jun in the couch reading. She got up and walk to him.
"Why did you ignore me? just awhile ago?"
"Did not. I just... fall asleep."
"So what i said, you did not hear a single word?"
"I hear them. I told you i am not angry. Now let me go back onnnn.."
Hu Li lay down on the couch and hug him. She place one of her leg over his tights. At that moment, Di Jun feels very uncomfortable and finds it hard to read his book. "Read to me what you are reading. I want to hear your voice." She mumble as she hug him. Obeying her, he begin to read the words from the book. Hu LI smile with her eyes close and enjoy Di Jun reading to her. Even though it is something deep and difficult to understand, she feels the effort and love from him. She smile and listen to him attentively. After awhile, he try to push her off but Hu Li is holding him tight.
"Can you, let me get a cup of tea?"
Five days of reading those books from the library, Hu Li can't find anything about Hei. She can't even find the full name nor a description of him anywhere. Somedays, she stare far into the galaxy where she try to see where her home is. Again, everything is dark and hazy. The crystals floating in the vast space is blinking. She feels happiness and light in her heart.
One day while chasing the butterfly in the garden, she hear her name. Hu Li turn around to see him. Hu Li is surprise and delighted.
