Chapter 164: I Will Bring You Back

"Thank you." Xue Xiu Yong smiled, showing his canine teeth for a moment and pulled Xiao Yun's hand gently.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yun asked, protecting herself from his hand in a skeptical manner.

"You're hurt." Xue Xiu Yong pointed at the wound on her arm and tear the wrapper of the bandaid to stick it over her wound. He looked down, remembering her expression when he scolded and knew that he wasn't at the place to scold her before. 

"I'm sorry." Xue Xiu Yong said, his eyes seemed a little downcasted from the shadow of his eyelashes. "I have said too much before even though it wasn't the place for me to say it. But about what I say, I want you to reflect on it." 

Xiao Yun looked at his expression and shook her head. She knew what Xue Xiu Yong was worried about at her. "No, don't apologize I understand what you meant." she turned her face to a smile, "thank you for your words."

Xue Xiu Yong's heart thudded again, he knew that he had lost but her smile still able to make him lost his holding. 

"You guys are here?" the homeroom teacher's voice broke the silence on his hand he was holding to her bag that the thief stole. "I have good news, Xiao Yun. Here is your bag, after the incident the security said that they found the thief and the bag. Check if there is anything missing from your bag."

Xiao Yun took her bag, a ripple of excitement dispelling the disappointment from her eyes. The first thing she checked on her bag was her keychain, wallet, and phone. The people around her had their eyes on expression, waiting for her words whether she lost anything. Xiao Yun confirmed nothing missing from her bag and looked at the teacher with joy bouncing off. "Everything is here! Nothing is lost!" 

Su She In rejoiced, "That's great!" Xue Xiu Yong and Zhuang Huan Wu agreed with Su She In's words. 

"Thank you very much, teacher, for helping me to find my bag." Xiao Yun stood up to bow but her teacher quickly stopped her from doing so.

"No- it's my responsibility as a teacher. In tomorrow's trip, all the students will have to stay within the teacher's sight. If there is nothing that you lost, then I and the other teachers will inform the police." the teacher looked at his students that agreed with his words and continued, " We will manage the thief with the custody, now you four should go to the dining hall, all the students have gathered there for dinner." 

Xiao Yun thanked the teachers again before going to the dining room. As soon as she arrived, Nie An and Zhi  Ling Ling who had been waiting for her came in a panic. "Xiao Yun, we heard about what happens from the other students, are you alright?" Nie An asked, her eyes traveling on Xiao Yun's limbs to notice a bandaid on her arm. "oh no, you were hurt?"

Xiao Yun waved her hand, "No, this is only a graze." she led her friends back to the seat. "The thief had been caught by the security in West Lake, fortunately, nothing was lost from my bag."

Nie An worriedly stared at her, "I should have come with you..." Even though she knew she wouldn't be able to help that much, she would have been able to stay beside her friend when misfortune hit her. 

Xiao Yun felt as though she had been seeing everything as the third person. She knew everyone was worried about her but was it alright for her to share her burden on them? If in the end sharing burden would only make them suffer, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself. 

Zhi Ling Ling glanced around at the air that had turned gloomy and distribute the spoon from her side to them. "Aren't you two hungry? Let's eat." 

The two girls nodded at her words and started to eat as they discussed what happened in their group on the first day of the trip. 

After the dinner, Nie An and Xiao Yu parted with Zhi Ling Ling who stayed on the first floor and walked to their room to see Wang Li Lei standing still in his black suit. "Li Lei!" She called his name in surprise with flowers blooming in her heart. After a long day, seeing her beloved blew away all her haggard. 

Wang Li Lei didn't miss the joy and the adorable gaze that she had on him and spoke to Nie An. "Can I borrow her for a minute?" 

"Ah-?" Nie An dozed off for a moment. Xiao Yun and Wang Li Lei had a very romantic atmosphere around them, making everyone who saw their relationship to wander off at the scene with a contagious smile. "Yes, Yes. I will be going first to the room. See you later, Xiao Yun." Nie An quickly entered her room in a clumsy manner and when she looked back at Xiao Yun, she gave a victory pose to cheer her up. 

"You have a very supportive friend." Wang Li Lei said, catching the sight of Nie An's cheerings from the glass behind Xiao Yun. 

"And I also have a very supportive fiancee." She mumbled out in a flushed cheek. 

the man laughed softly, clearly happy by the girl declaring him as his fiancee. "Let's go somewhere else." Wang Li Lei reached out to his hand and Xiao Yun was quick to take his offer but stopped for a moment. 

"Where are we going? I have to tell the teacher first." 

If the teacher found her missing from her room, they would thoroughly scold her through and could even send her back home. As much as she wanted to go with him, rules are something that she needed to protect. 

As Xiao Yun was about to consider what to say to her teacher, the elevator arrived and Wang Li Lei took her in. 

"When is your curfew time?" he asked her to take her attention away. 

"nine." Xiao Yun saw him pushing the button to the top floor and questioned herself what was at the top of the Hotel. 

"Then before nine, I will bring you back." Xiao Yun turned her head toward him. His voice was low and seductive tonight. She wondered what was going on that bright head of him and wanted to ask. 

"Li Lei." she called him to see his eyes. "where are we going? Is there anything on the top floor?"

"A place where we could be alone." He replied, giving a comforting smile that made her obediently accept his words. 

"Okay-" she snapped her eyes diagonally. Where exactly a place where they could be alone? There are some places, but in a hotel, there's only once place that passed through her mind.

Xiao Yun shook her head, scolding herself for reading too far from his words. But what if? The what if's began to make her face switched to tomato. 

When the elevator ascended to the twenty-ninth floor up to the last one, the elevator door open to show a floor filled with a glass roof. Xiao Yun's black eyes twinkled with the beautiful sight that she saw. 

The translucent glass above her head displayed the sky that had turned dark as it turned to nighttime. Full silver moon hanging on the black sky and white stars twinkling beside the empty black canvas, the scene itself made her felt as though the sky was very near to her, bringing its beauty to the maximum. Xiao Yun stepped out from the elevator and lift her chin to observe the view that lay upon her eyes. 

"This is amazing! So beautiful!" She walked around with happiness beaming on her face. Looking around to satisfy her curiosity, she turned her body in a twirl to look at Wang Li Lei. Flower behind her had its petals swung around the direction she rotated her body in, adorning her angelic smiling face. 

"I'm glad that you like it." ripples of warmness soak through his dark heart. 

"I don't only like it, I love it!" She turned around to see Wang Li Lei moving on the soft long red couch. A warm teapot with vapor coming off the vessel and cookies to keep the tea a company. 

He patted the empty seat on his side, calling her name gently for her to sit on. "Have a seat." 

Xiao Yun realized that she had been rolling on her excitement like a little child and clear her throat for a moment to sweep aside the hair on her shoulder. She strode with her heart thumping and sat beside him. With only the view of the starry sky, sitting beside him now made it feel as though they were alone in the world. She leaned a little closer to his side, 'Being together alone in an empty world wouldn't be too bad.'

"How did you make this place?" Xiao Yun asked she didn't know that was such a place as the blueprint of the Hotel that was posted in the lobby didn't mention any veranda or perhaps by looking at the green leaves and flowers around her, a greenhouse.
