Wang Li Lei caught her in surprise, staring at her who had buried her face wholly on his chest. Her eyelids trembled to make the strands of her eyelashes also shook at the same time. Just as Wang Li Lei was trying to guess what made the girl flew into his arms, another thunderbolt next to them, making an exclaim slipped out of her lips and her hand wrapped on his waist with extra strengthens. Wang Li Lei furrowed his brow. "Do you fear the thunder?"  Xiao Yun nodded her head vigorously as she couldn't open her pursed lips that could only let out another sharp shout. 

He reached out his hand, carrying the girl on his arms and brought her to his room that was made with soundproof walls from both in and out. It was the only best place where she could be muted from the raging rain outside. When they entered, Wang Li Lei closed off the door right before another thunder struck again. Xiao Yun who would usually look around the room timidly now could only clutch her hand to his suit, gritting to her teeth as she did so. 

She hated thunder. Thunder was everything that was always associated with her misfortunes. When her parents died, thunder also came along with the rain. When Choi Yeon Jun locked her up in his abhorrent underground, thunder came often, giving momentum faint light from the small window and loud screamings from the people that he killed. 

Whenever she heard thunder as though it was a key to opening her nightmare, her hand shook. She swore to herself not to fear that demon anymore, but her body could feel the fear that he railed to her. 

"Don't worry. I'm here." A gentle voice lingered to her ears from above, making her heart calmed down for a moment. Gazing up to see the man's black eyes shone slightly from the small orange lamp beside them on the bed, a hug and patting could be felt from her back and head. Closing her eyes, almost majestically her trembling disappeared. 

He's still here, he's alive, she comforted herself. Her head snuggled to hear his heartbeat, breathing at the same time he exhaled. "I'm sorry." She murmured to see the man frowning. 

"What are you apologizing for?" his gentle voice didn't change a single note, keeping his hand on her back to give caresses. 

"I..." Her head slumped to his chest. "I acted silly before." 

"That's not silly." He protested, leaning his back on his pillow so both of them could rest on the pillow. "I'm here. When you have something to fear you could lean on me. I promise to protect you." he gave his words. 

Xiao Yun faced up her eyes a little moistened, without a word she turned her face down. She was happy with his words but still felt weak for showing her fear of the thunder. She had thought her heart had grew stronger, but she was still weak. And it wasn't something that she could ever become proud of. She wanted to lean on him, but he had enough burden to himself and didn't want to place hers. 

Wang Li Lei noticed the girl's sinking in contemplation and pulled her waist above to level their sight. "At what time would you be going tomorrow?" He steered her thoughts from the thunder, trying to comfort her a little.

"Eight." Xiao Yun replied to hear the man give a long trailing hum as his response. 

"You should come back soon." His fingers played at the end of her hair, making a small twirl on the edge for her eyes to see. "I will be lonely." 

Xiao Yun giggled from his adorable expression and wrapped her arm on his shoulder. "I will come back as soon as I can."

"You should." His eyes kept on trailing her hand before staring at her face in thought. "That woman, she's only someone from work, you don't have to be jealous." Suddenly Wang Li Lei brought up the matter of Lin Chang Lu, but Xiao Yun couldn't understand what he meant and tilted her head to the side in a puzzle. 

"That one before." Wang Li Lei tapped her phone in her pocket. 

Xiao Yun's cheeks reddened. She waved her hand and stuttered. "Jealous? I'm not je-"

"You are." Wang Li Lei insisted. "It's fine to admit you are. In any case, I love seeing you jealous for me." Although the man didn't smirk at the end of his words, Xiao Yun could faintly notice traces of him pulling on a corner of his lip. When it was true that she felt jealous, Li Lei was a few years older than her even if she had her past memories, she didn't want to act childish in front of her from a fit of small jealousy that sparked by the tabloids that were spouting nothing but nonsense. But jealousy was something that no one could hold back, especially when they were deeply in love with each other. The possessiveness so no one would claim their love, it was the same exact passionate feeling that they both have and both knew about it. 

She moved back, placing her hand on the back but slipped and at the end fall to his lower abdomen face first. Embarrassed, she looked down tapped it as though she was checking whether it was painful and looked up with a murmur. "Sorry." 

"You don't have to." Xiao Yun heard his tone sloping at the end, and noticed something deeper within his meaning until he continued to whisper in her ears with hand tracing the shape of her ears. "I didn't expect you to be an aggressive type, but I don't dislike it." His hand pulled her palm over to his beating chest for a feel and seduced with his airy whisper. "I'm yours to touch."

"Li Lei." She called her name in surprise and felt him stealing a small peck on her lower lips and asked. "What is it?" 

He heart thumped, no matter how much she had gotten used to his touch and kiss, she was still unable to stop her heart from racing for him. Giddily, she felt that the man in front of her had just stepped on a different switch. His eyes were calm like the sea but filled with a swirl of hazy heat, as though someone had just thrown a stone on the calm current, making a deep turbulent on top of each other.

"Don't look at me that way." She whispered to calm his desire, but it had just done the exact opposite of her intention. 

"You should have known that will not stop me. This had always been the way I'm looking at you." His hand curved inwardly on her head, tilting it to the side to press her lips with his which the girl receive while following his movements. 

He took his time to relax her tense nerves and not soon when he slipped in his tongue the lips parted for a moment. "Breathe." A finger ran down from her shoulder, lining to the feeling of her skin that made a flush to her ears. 

The kiss was longer than their first and perhaps because of the dimmed room or because they were in Wang Li Lei's bedroom, a ferment run to her. Parting his lips after fully tasting the ripe sweetness of her tongue, he nibbled to her upper lips before wiping her lips that reddened from the kiss. 

Xiao Yun's eyes were still blurry, drawing an exasperated breath to meet his burning eyes. He stared at his expression that had just been stained by his desire and felt something riled again.

"Are we done?" she asked in drowsiness as she had just drunk from the kiss. Although he didn't say anything, his expression had given away the urge not to end it here. He closed his eyes from the tantalizing sight and pulled her head to his chest. "We should stop here. If we don't I can't promise you that nothing will happen," he whispered to her above making sure that the girl wouldn't see the face of a man being crazed up by desire. 

Xiao Yun's ears that were pressed on his chest heard a reverberating noise thudding from his heart. She looked over her shoulder at the had that was doing nothing beside her and took it with her hand to intertwine them. 

"You should sleep here for the night. The rain would play for the whole night." his words felt as though he could see the future of the rain and the girl was quick to agree. He pulled the blanket over her, letting her head lay on one arm while still being embraced by him. 

"I will miss you." He murmured again proclaiming his missing for the girl. Letting the girl go far from here was something that he greatly disliked. 

"It's only for three days." She calmed him down. 

"It is for three days." He omitted the 'only' from her words, telling the girl that three days were long enough for him. 

He patted her back, comforting her eyelids that had grew heavier.

Things flew on her mind, the sight between her eyes witching to black, but a word slipped out between her lips aloud. "I love you." 

"I love you too." He smiled sweetly, making anyone who saw his smile to die from over-sweetness including Xiao Yun who couldn't bear from his smile and buried her face on his chest again. A giggled passed on her mouth before falling down to her slumber, giving the night rest for herself.
