Xia Yao Xing came back to Mo Yun Lie. He was looking at her all the while as she attended to his wound, went to put the first aid kit back and came back to his side again. All this while he was just smiling. His eyes were becoming heavier.
Xia Yao Xing looked at his silly smile and She herself doesn't know when a sweet smile formed on her lips.
She walked forward and took a seat beside Mo Yun Lie. "What's the matter? Why are you in this state?" Xia Yao Xing asked indicating his wound.
He didn't respond to her question but it was obvious that he heard her, because as she asked the question the silly smile on his face disappeared and he looked down with a little teary eyes.
Xia Yao Xing saw his eyes and felt like pins were inserted into her heart. Shewaited for sometime for his respond but, nothing came out of his lips that has already lost the smile and now were a thin line. Xia Yao Xing understood that he was not going to spill the beans and stopped asking.
The silence was awkward in this cozy room. Two people were sitting on the same bed but no one uttered a single sentence. One looked down and the other felt painful.
Finally Xia Yao Xing decided to break the ice. "At least tell me why are you here?" She asked looking at his teary face..
Mo Yun Lie looked up at her. He looked straight into her eyes. His face become a little bright looking at her. "Xiao Xing..." He called out for her. His voice was tender and felt like a warm breeze.
Xia Yao Xing looked at his eyes. "Huh?" She asked.
"Can I hug you?" Mo Yun Lie asked her.
Xia Yao Xing was shocked to hear his words and before she could answer his question, she felt herself slammed onto something hard but also soft.
Mo Yun Lie hugged her even before she could answer. 'If you were going to hug me anyway then what's the need of asking?' Xia Yao Xing thought to herself as her hands were on both sides of her body which was clenched tightly in his hug. She couldn't understand how to respond but, she didn't refused his hug.
She stayed there for a while before she heard him say in a very low voice. "Let me hold you for a while." She herself didn't know when her hands worked on its own and held him. She could see he was upset. There must be a reason.
She couldn't understand why, but every time she confronted Mo Yun Lie, this man, she felt this strange feeling. Her heart would feel bith uncomfortable and conformable at the same time but, still she liked this feeling.
Now that she is this close to him her heart felt more comfortable. For some time she went into a trace and felt nothing else except his presence.
She held him in the same way for more than 5 minutes... 10 minutes... 15 minutes... "Boss..." She reluctantly called out of him.
... There was no response. She felt his steady breathing and "Boss...?" She called out again. This time she exerted a little more volume.
... Still there was no response. "Boss!" She called out a little louder. She broke the hug and held him with both her hands in his place. 'Is he asleep? How can he... It's my room!' She thought to herself.
She tried to wake him up by shaking him a little. But, he didn't even bat his eyelashes. She tried again but to no avail. 'Uhg!! Do I have to put up with this?' Xia Yao Xing thought and searched through his paint pockets. She took his phone out of his paint and tried to unlock it. But as expect of a big boss, it was totally complicated!
She tried to put his fingerprint on the sensor. It didn't work.
She tried to scan his face. It also... Don't work.
She didn't give up and tried again to unlocked it even after 2-3 failed tries. On the fourth or something try the phone went off. She tried again and again to switch it on but failed...
She left a sigh of relief and put the phone back into his pocket. She couldn't find any other way and thought it's better to let him sleep here for now. It's better to talk to him when he is sane.
She laid him down on her bed and took his shoes off. She covered him with a quilt and looked at his face for a while. 'He definitely looks like him.' She thought to herself and went to the couch to sleep. She looked at the blanket in her hand hat she took to cover herself and sighed.
"Ugh! Xiao Xing, just bear it today. He is drunk. He needs your help." Xia Yao Xing consoled herself as she laid on the couch and closed her eyes covering herself with the blanket.
Soon, Xia Yao Xing was drifted into the sleep. This time, she didn't dreamt of anything scaring. It must be the fist time after she got back here, that she slept this peacefully. Maybe because she was exhausted or someone is present with her but, whatever the reason is, she slept peacefully...
Xia Yao Xing had a peaceful sleep all night along and when she got up she found herself on bed. She looked around and tried to find Mo Yun Lie. But, Mo Yun Lie was no where to be found. She got up anxiously and was about to get down the bed when her sight fell on a paper place under a paperweight on bedside table.
There was a yellow colour note on the bedside table below a paperweight. She extended her hand and grabbed the paper putting the paperweight aside.
'Xiao Xing, thank you...
And... Sorry.
I'm going back to the company.
Sorry that I couldn't apologize to you face to face.
I'll treat you to a meal latter and express my gratitude.
And yeah... I prepared breakfast for you.
Have it and go to work. : )
Mo Yun Lie '
It was written on the note.
A slight curvy smile crept on Xia Yao Xing's lips. 'He is thoughtful.' Xia Yao Xing thought to herself and went to get ready for work placing the note back on the table.
She came out of the bathroom in a robe. "Why was he here anyway?" She whispered to herself while wiping her wet hair with a towel.
She soon got ready. She put on a simple white frock that stopped just above her knees. She went to the kitchen and found a bowl of chocolate custard. She went to the refrigerator to fetch some water and found some already cut fruits in it.
She fetched the breakfast that Mo Yun Lie made for her to the dining table while smiling a little. She herself didn't know the reason why his actions affected her so much. May be because... He cared for her? Or does he treats every girl the same way? Xia Yao Xing thought as she finished her breakfast.
'It's a pity he likes her. Should I warn him?' She contemplated before shrugging off this thought.
Xia Yao Xing washed the dishes, put them in their place and set off for work.
She hailed a taxi and went straight to 'Splendid Star Entertainment' building.
She looked up at the 42 floors high building and sighed. She called Jang Man Wol while entering into the building. Jang Man Wol picked her call at the second ring.
"Hello XingXing." Jang Man Wol's cheerful voice came from the other side.
"Mmm... I'm already at the company wait for me before going in." Xia Yao Xing said as she walked straight to the elevator.
"OK. I'm in manager Fu's office come fast OK?" Jang Man Wol said.
"OK. I'll be there in 5 minutes." Xia Yao Xing replied.
"Did you make sure no one knows?" Xia Yao Xing asked.
"Yes. Just come fast." Jang Man Wol replied as she hung up the call.
Xia Yao Xing wanted her selection matter to be kept secret from her manager. It's not like she feared Xia Xiang or manager Cheng. It's just that she wanted to surprise them to the end of their limit.
She reached the elevator, pressed the elevator button and waited for it to arrive. The elevator arrived. The doors of the elevator slide open and their came the a delicate and beautiful devil with a servant along her side.
'Remember the devil and here comes the walking show.'
