"Are you alright?"
"Yes, why?"
"Your face looks a bit strained."
He said nothing more, pulled his hand out of his pocket and wrapped it around her waist. "I'm alright." He tuck her hair behind her ear. "Being with you makes me forget the things of this world."
Xueyan tried to struggle out of his embrace but his hand only tightened.
"Don't struggle," he whispered, got close that their foreheads were now joined together.
She knew what he was aiming for and waited for the right moment to look away.
She still hasn't gotten used to the fact they were lovers, even sometimes when he gets close she feels irritated and disgusted.
While sometimes she'd feel like she's in the safest place with him. Protected and loved.
Perhaps it was due to her past experience, but she really avoided getting closer to men.
"Okay, but you had a stressful day so you need some rest."
