43 Chapter 157: Together 2

Together.

On the same bed.

Jun Liu didn't know which one scared him more; the fact that NaNa was not afraid of being in the same bed as him or the fact that he might not be able to control himself.

It was hard for him to sleep on the same bed with a stranger; not a stranger actually but he was not familiar with having someone else sleeping next to him. He couldn't sleep, he couldn't calm down.

To be honest, he doesn't like the thought of sleeping on the couch. There is a limit on how much can someone tolerate after a recent change, and Jun Liu refused to endure sleeping on the couch. That's why he agreed almost immediately after NaNa proposed that both of them to sleep on the same bed.

He figured out that since she was brave to propose such a thing, then NaNa must be brave to bear any consequence that might arise from it.

Jun Liu was a man, that's for sure. He wouldn't say that he was a nice man. Seeing that NaNa was only a span away from him, of course, Jun Liu will lust for her. But he was rational enough not to do something to a woman who was sad and fragile.

"Ah Jun" NaNa spoke out of the blue, snapping Jun Liu out of his thought. "Are you nervous?"

If NaNa were one of those random women he met on the street, Jun Liu would ignore her but since she was his girlfriend, nervous would not be enough to describe how he felt at the moment.

"Why? Are you nervous?" Jun Liu asked NaNa the same question. He wanted to hold hand with NaNa, but he was afraid that he'd want more if he started to do the first step.

"Mm"

The answer was simple. The room was dark but not dark enough because of the small light coming from the gap of the door. Jun Liu wanted to see how NaNa would look like when she was nervous.

"Why?" Jun Liu was not sure why they would be having this conversation in the middle of the night, but people said that if you are nervous, talking will lessen the nervousness. Jun Liu hoped that the advice is accurate.

"This is my first time to sleep on the same bed with a man" NaNa answered him almost like a whisper. "But don't think about doing anything to me. My brother and my parents will kill you. You know that right?"

Of course, Jun Liu knew better than to mess up with the Wu and the Chong. For someone who came from a middle-class family like himself, he could only dream of associating himself to the Wu and the Chong.

Now that Jun Liu was a prosperous man himself, he was still aware that there were people in this world that he cannot afford to offend no matter how successful he was.

"Sleep. I'll send you back tomorrow" Jun Liu decided that it would be better for NaNa to sleep and rest. He shouldn't think more of what would happen between them; he should rest too.

They didn't know how long but both of them fell asleep after some time.

When Jun Liu opened his eyes the next morning, gone was the pillow barrier between them and NaNa was clinging to him like a koala or more like she was treating him like a bolster. NaNa proclaimed that the two-thirds of the bed was hers, but now, it seemed as if she wanted the whole bed.

He is going to need a bigger bed.

Jun Liu slapped his face. He was tense. Just a few weeks ago, Jun Liu was not really sure whether he likes NaNa or whether he loves her. And then now, he was thinking about getting a bigger bed. Jun Liu was falling deep in love quickly, at a dangerous speed. And he can't get away from it.

Jun Liu removed NaNa's hangs that clung on him as she depended on it. Then he went to take a shower – a cold one.

By the time, he finished showering; NaNa was in the living room, watching television. Jun Liu walked a few steps towards the living room.

"Don't come here. I'm ugly" NaNa screamed in panic. Jun Liu laughed soundlessly, but he kept on walking towards NaNa. If Ying Yue knew her idol would claim herself as ugly, Ying Yue would be petrified with astonishment.

"Stop. Stop. Don't come. I haven't shower" NaNa curled herself on the couch in an attempt to hide her face.

Jun Liu stopped walking and laughed. "Go shower then. I'll put new clothes outside the bathroom. It would be slightly bigger for you, so it depends on you whether you want to wear it or not." Jun Liu walked towards his room and got dressed. When he was out again, NaNa curled herself once again. She was getting adamant of not letting Jun Liu saw her just-woke-up face.

Still looking down in an attempt to hide her face, NaNa walked quickly towards the room. Then she closed the door and locked it from inside. Jun Liu didn't understand why NaNa would try so hard to hide her face since he already saw it the first thing in the morning.

But a gentleman needed to give his girlfriend a face, so he didn't comment anything about it. Around this time, usually Jun Liu was supposed to be off to work, but since he needed to take care of NaNa, he guessed that he's going to be late for work.

That's the good thing about being the boss. Jun Liu could be late, and no one would question him.

After a while, NaNa came out from the room in his clothes. Like he said earlier, the clothes were a bit bigger for her, but she looked cute in it.

The long jogger pants he lent her was too long; NaNa had to fold it a few times. Then, the shirt was big, and it became a baggy shirt for NaNa. NaNa looked exactly like a kid trying out her parents' clothes. NaNa could feel that Jun Liu was observing her, so she tried so hard not to blush. She needed to find a topic to shift Jun Liu's attention into something else.

NaNa looked at the time; it was half an hour after seven. Jun Liu will be late to work.

NaNa insisted that Jun Liu sent her back as soon as possible because she realised that Jun Liu was already late for work. She reassured Jun Liu that she was okay now and that she could get her own breakfast.

When both of them reached NaNa's apartment complex, NaNa insisted that Jun Liu shouldn't send her off to their house since it will make him late. Before Jun Liu could answer her, NaNa dashed out of the car and turned around to wave at him. Then, she went up to her house.

Jun Liu had a bad feeling. Last time, he had a suspicion that Zi Yi might have done something to let him know about NaNa's arriving home or not. Or, it could be a pure coincidence that Zi Yi will always come out of his door whenever NaNa went out of arriving at her house.

Jun Liu turned off the engine of the black Lexus and headed upstairs even though NaNa didn't want him to. He just wanted to make sure that NaNa gets into her house safely.

He was sauntering up the stairs when he heard a loud commotion upstairs on the second level.

"I ask you, where have you been? Whose clothes are you wearing?" A man was shouting.

"What are you doing? Let go off my hand" NaNa's voice was heard.

Jun Liu didn't have to guess about the identity of the owner of the male voice. He ran upstairs as fast as he can.

Then Jun Liu saw them in front of NaNa's house. He knew it. That Zi Yi guy always came out when NaNa was outside her house.

Zi Yi was holding NaNa's wrist and NaNa was trying to get away from him. Jun Liu calmed himself and approached them.

"Let go of her before I break your hand".
