Hearing Xia Yao Xing ask for clothes, Mo Yun Lie was about to turn when Xia Yao Xing shouted, "Don't turn!!!". Hearing her shout Mo Yun Lie stopped and turned back to show his back towards her. His gesture made her feel guilty, she thought 'I shouldn't shouted at him...' her head slightly hung down and she heard him call her name.
"Xiao Xing?" He called her name and she looked up at his fine back profile.
When Xia Yao Xing heard Mo Yun Lie call her name with so much love she felt some strange familiarity towards him that she herself couldn't understand. Her heart felt a strange pain from pleasure when she heard him. She replied softly, "Yes..."
Mo Yun Lie asked Xia Yao Xing, "Can I turn around? I wanted to hand you some clothes." His nervousness was clear from his polite words.
Xia Yao Xing thought that there's no use for him to turn around just for giving clothes and said, "No need. Come closer and give it to me... And don't turn around". She said thinking its best to not take anything further.
Mo Yun Lie sensed Xia Yao Xing's discomfort and thought it's best to do things according her. While going on his back steps toward her he said, "Actually I sent my assistant to get you some clothes but he got struck in the traffic, you know... rush hour." Then looking at the object in his hands and extending it toward her he said, "Can you ware this until he gets here?"
Xia Yao Xing took his the shirt in his hand and went inside to get changed while Mo Yun Lie stood there with his hand extended towards bathroom, after standing there with a blank expression for a few seconds he got back to his bed and started working on his laptop.
Xia Yao Xing got back waring nothing but Mo Yun Lie's white shirt which followed down till her mid thigh. When she took the shirt from him, she contemplated about waring it or not but when she looked at the length and thought about waiting for clothes inside the bathroom she couldn't do anything but ware it.
Looking at the mouth watering figure waring a shirt and coming towards him, Mo Yun Lie gulped and shifted his eyesight. He doesn't want to loose control at a moment like this when they don't even took a step forward in their relationship. Seeing him shift his face awkwardly, Xia Yao Xing felt uncomfortable and thought it's better to wait for the dress and then leave. She turned around and walked straight to the couch to sit.
When Mo Yun Lie saw Xia Yao Xing sitting on the couch with her drenched hair he frowned and said, "Dry your hair."
Hearing him say that she looked puzzled and said as a matter fast, "It's OK I'm used to it."
When Xia Yao Xing said that, Mo Yun Lie felt sad for her and got up from the bed saying," Xiao Xing, you shouldn't leave your hair wet. You'll get cold." He said this with so much concern while taking the dryer and walking towards her that she felt very touched.
In the last nine years of her life, after her grand father's death, she never once felt such concern from anyone around her except for a handful of people. Her eyes started getting blurry, she knew she shouldn't show this to him and hence turned side wise. She then said, "OK."
When Mo Yun Lie got near Xia Yao Xing he started blowing her wet hair. When the dryer started blowing Xia Yao Xing got slightly startle but then became accustomed to it and sat there without any movements. It was her first time someone taking care of her with such concern, she was getting emotional, but she knew that's it's all momentary and the second Mo Yun Lie's assistant came with clothes she has to leave. This thought made her feel downcast.
After a while Mo Yun Lie's assistant came with the clothes which were designed by famous designer in this city. Being an artist she knew the value of this dress but choose to keep quit and leave. When she was near the lift which is connected to this penthouse she stopped in her track and asked turning around, "Are you sure?" when she looked into Mo Yun Lie's eyes which never left her the whole time she was walking towards the lift, she felt warm in her heart.
Hearing her question he got confused and his eyebrows crept upwards, in a questioning manner.
Xia Yao Xing asked again, "Are you sure? We didn't do 'that thing'?", she stuttered at the word 'that thing'.
Mo Yun Lie got up from his bed and walked towards her with a hand in his pocket, walking straight like an emperor. She shivered thinking that she said something unforgivable and this emperor is going to slice her tongue.
But nothing happened Mo Yun Lie just placed her head in between his palms, made her look into his eyes and said, "No. Nothing happened and we didn't do anything." He paused for two seconds and continued, "It's just that we slept naked... Because I didn't have anything for you to ware and you little drunk kitten didn't let me make you ware anything..." He said the last sentence in a playful way with a smile on his lips which took her breath from her. With just what he said he cleared every ounce of doubt within her brain but one thing...
Xia Yao Xing again asked with a little embarrassment, "T-then what a-about my b..Back pain?".
Mo Yun Lie was startled at this question and thought for a while when he remembered as and said, "oh! That? That's because you slipped in the bathroom while taking shower... That's it. You don't have to be worried we really didn't do that."
"Trust me." He said again with a smile, she don't know why but she felt his every word was a true statement for her and said with a relieved smile on her face...
"OK... "
