This little act of care made Xiao Zhi Ren's heart bloom like a flower that had just been caressed by the warmth of the sun. The medicinal tea was really bitter but all he felt was sweetness.
But when she left his hand he really felt empty as if someone stole a piece of his heart. But his smile didn't fade away rather it got him a frown from Ru.
"Why are you smiling?" She asked pensively.
"It felt good." His ambiguous answer made her frown deeper.
"The medicine was not bitter?" She inquired to make sure.
Xiao Zhi Ren smiled at her adorable expression and shook his head saying, "I wasn't talking about the medicine. I meant your threat... The way you just rebuked me."
'That's a first. When did people start enjoying my threats?' Ru was rubbing the nape of her neck while she wondered. But she didn't understand his underlying meaning. He meant he enjoyed the gentleness and care that she was hiding behind those words.
