It's been a while since Zhi An's father left the building, Yue Yue still felt a strong abnormal tension in the air. As they went inside the lounge room, everyone was still hanging out as if nothing had happened. There was an empty couch in the corner of the room and she asked Zhi An to sit down as she got a bottled water from the fridge. She saw Zhi An's head down with one hand rubbing him temple area. His eyebrow furrowed.
"I'll leave this bottled water on the small table over here. I still have some work to do. Do you want to come with me or do you want to stay here?" She asked and he suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Stay here. Don't go anywhere where I can't see you." Yue Yue sighed and nodded, "I won't leave you." She sat beside him and looked at him with concern, she didn't want to bother him nor asking him too many questions. She quietly sat there and accompanied him.
Few minutes later, Zhi An's head slowly leaned on Yue Yue's left shoulder. He was feeling exhausted but he was feeling safe and peaceful while being with her. She grabbed a thin blanket on the couch and carefully covered him while he naps on her shoulder. After a while, Yue Yue asked two of the guys to watch over Zhi An because she had to go out.
"Dr. Zhang, you want us to look after him? What if he wakes up and notice you're not here, he's gonna kill us. I don't want risk my job." said Li Kai, one of the most experienced SWAT member's knee was literally trembling from head to toe. Yue Yue asked them to support his head as she tries to get up and asked one of the guys to sit down beside him.
"If he wakes up, just tell him I'll be back soon. Thanks!" Yue Yue thanked them as she ran to the washroom. She relieved herself and felt so much better.
"I shouldn't have ate so much. I'm getting fat again." She loves to eat but sometimes, she had a hard time controlling her appetite.
After few minutes, just as she expected, Zhi An woke up and rubbed his eyes a bit. He turned and saw Li Kai, his expression changed like lightning bolt.
"What are you doing here? Why was I sleeping on you? Where's Yue-I mean, Dr. Zhang?" He asked. Li Kai stuttered, "D-Dr. Zhang said that s-she'll come back soon. She told me to watch over you." Zhi An gave him a death stare, "Tell me, where is she??" Li Kai blinked multiple times and said, "I'm sorry Commander Li, she didn't tell me. But she did tell me she'll come back soon."
Zhi An was about to pull Li Kai's collar when Yue Yue came back from the washroom. She stared at both of them and Li Kai pulled away from Zhi An's grasp so fast like a scared bunny.
"Thank goodness you came back on time, I thought I was gonna get eaten." Then, he ran away like nothing happened.
Just then, alarm sounded again. This time, it was a practice drill and it ended quite late around midnight. Thankfully no one was seriously injured from the practice. Just cuts and minor scratches on few of them. After treating few of them, Yue Yue tidied her office then turned off the light. Zhi An waited outside.
"Tired? It's been a long day for you." Zhi An held her hand as she closed up the door. She shook her head, "You must be tired from the drill. Tomorrow will be another busy day for you guys. Let's go up and rest." Zhi An and Yue Yue went up the elevator and she stopped at her room.
"Aren't you going to your room?" She asked him but he leaned in and whispered, "Why should I go back to my room when you're here?" Yue Yue blushed and smiled, "We still have lots of time. It's quite late right now." Zhi An smiled as he was too stubborn to leave, "What if I don't want to?" Yue Yue gave up and said, "Fine, but you're not allowed to peek. I'm taking a shower." He nodded as he closed the door behind him.
He looked around the room while waiting for her to finish showering. There was a family photo on the bookshelf in the living room. He smiled as he saw a photo of her. She had black long hair with bangs that really matched well with her slim face. Her eyes were very enchanting. Her smile is what made him fall in love with her because her smile was like a sudden beam of sunlight. Even right now, whenever she smiled at him, he will only get attracted to her even more.
When she finished showering, she dried her hair with a hairdryer. Yue Yue saw Zhi An walking towards her and he grabbed the hairdryer, "You won't be able to dry it this way." He helped her with it and she smiled, "You're pretty good at this."
"I used to do it for my mom. She taught me." He replied without saying anything else about his mom. She understood without asking further questions.
"It's finished." He placed the hairdryer back and asked her, "Can I take a shower now?" She agreed and waited for him until he was finished.
After both of them showered, she was on the bed when Zhi An came to her room. Yue Yue wanted to ask him so many questions regarding his past mission. But, she didn't know where to start. She sighed as she leaned against her soft pillow. Zhi An sat beside her and gently caressed her white and soft face.
"Why are you looking so sad?" He asked with curiosity.
"I'm not sad, I'm just worried about you. I really wanted to know what happen to you in the past. I mean... the truth. But if I say it, it will trigger your panic attack so I couldn't say anything." She replied with honesty and Zhi An understood.
"I'm sorry for making you worried. I'll try my best to explain to you but for the truth, I still don't know who started it." He was unsure because he haven't found the one who disguised as him during the mission.
"Don't worry, I'll look into it. And I'll make sure to tell you if I find something. It's just I don't want you to feel too pressured. I saw what panic attack can do to you. I don't want you to suffer again." She gently fixed his messy hair then he grabbed her. He looked at her with his magnetic eyes then he gently leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"Yue Yue, I love you. Thank you for worrying about me."
As they embraced each other and pressed on each other's lips, they didn't care about anything else. He only need her to satisfy him. He was on top of her and she could feel his loneliness, fear through his eyes, she wanted to embrace his wound. To Zhi An, Yue Yue was the one who can calm the storm inside him but without her, he wouldn't know what he'll do. His demons could be unleashed at any given moment.
