Chapter 40 - This Night Is Not Meant To Be Quiet

I look down at my arms full of bandaids, I take one off to see the same scar with no change

"Why doesn't it heal? ", I mumble under my breath, the scars that do not heal nor hurt, how can anyone explain this?

I'm scared but can do nothing about it, I'll just continue eating my pearls, who knows it might work after all my peals can purify.

night fell down and it's time to sleep, I get inside my bed to sleep then close my eyes, today's I helped out a bit, so after I put my head on the pillow I got drowsy then completely falling asleep immediately.

the room was dark, the only source of light was the moon's light coming in from the window, the doors knob moved down and the door slowly opened showing a dark figure, a part of his face was illuminated by the light of the moon showing Li Xiang.

Li Xiang walked to the bed, quietly looked at Jian Xing's face from a very close distance. looking at Erha's closed long eyelashes, he had an impulse to touch so he really did that, the whole body felt a little soft, especially his heart, as if soaked in warm water, he was about to melt from joy.

his eyes swept down to his mouth, like that he kept staring, his throat got dry so he swallowed the imaginary saliva, Erha's looked so soft that gave an inviting illusion, Li supported his left arm on top of the headboard, holding his breath, he slowly leaned down.

He already that this is wrong for him to take advantage of Erha's defenselessness,

but--

He couldn't help it

I want to kiss him.

Erha's breathing was very hot, After approaching, his hot and humid breath brushed on Li Xiang's face.

the moment when he touched his plump lips, Li Xiang's heartbeat almost jumped out of his chest, his arms supporting the headboard clinched while trembling slightly, extreme excitement burst out, striking him to dizziness, his body almost swayed from numbness. to satisfy his greediness a little bit he extended the kiss.　

'happy'

'Extremely'

he wants more but didn't dare to, he retracts his hand reluctantly, without looking behind he immediately walks away.

the door closed, in a dark corner inside the room a person steps out of it, staring at the void as if reminiscing about what he just witnessed he stood there, he then looks at Erha walks next to him, he crouches down then gently he caresses his white hair slowly and patiently .he stands up take a quick look on his scars, he reaches his hand to the front, a black vortex shows up on his had swallowed the black dust dissipating from Erha's scars.

the scars disappeared and the original fair unblemished skin returned to its own glory.

the figure of the man was completely hidden black only a pair of yellow eyes that seem to be able to shake people's souls can be identified.

the man turns his back and finally leaves blending with the darkness.

the moment he left, Erha's closed eyelashes opened. he sat on his bed looking directly toward the window. The light was faint, but Erha's eyes were very bright and shocked

"who's that?"

I touch my mouth to realize that my lips are swollen

"did he also kiss me?"

this has never happened to me in my two lives and I don't know how I'm supposed to react, I had watched many dramas and movies, it is indeed romantic but it doesn't explain the fact that this isn't right, especially when I don't know the person.

'is he perhaps a stalker?', I thought but directly distinguished the idea, where can you find a stalker in these times, and I'm no celebrity

"he probably fell in love with me at first sight ', I murmur

it can't be helped if so, I mean just look at me!! who won't ?! still I'm kind of curious how he looks like, I did snoop a pair of gorgeous yellow eyes, his vibe also gave me an impression of a black cat at night.

I decide to turn back to sleep, tomorrow I'm definitely boosting about what happened.

"Being popular is so troublesome ", I say yawning before I sleep.

after I woke up, i run downstairs directly without fixing my attire with disheveled hair

"Guys!! listen out!!", I cried as I run

I reach the kitchen to see everyone doing their own thing, Thunnus was cooking, Li Ge was disputing with his two subordinates as Miss Li sat on the couch holding a cup of tea.

no one paid attention, so I directly blurted the matter out

"I got kissed yesterday's night!!"

Miss Li spilled the tea, Li Ge dropped the papers held in his hand, Xu kong and Su Mei looked at me then at Li Xiang with a suspecting gaze, and as for Thunnous he just continued cooking.

"What!!", everyone shouted, except Thunnus

"It really happened, I think it's a man, he has beautiful pair of yellow eyes that glows at night"

"and it never came to you to ask for help?"

"Naah, I have good senses and I can feel that he's not malicious to me ", I shrug my shoulder as I defend myself, these guys are too self-conscious that they don't bother to use their bring, do they really think I'm that stupid, i also have self measures!!!

"How can you be so shameless!!!"Li's mom points me with her finger as she shouts

"what shameless I'm obviously the victim, you can't put the blame on me!!!"

Miss Li: "if you are as you say, then why defend him!!!"

Erha: "that because you can't blame him too!!"

".....",the room went silence so i had to explain myself

"it's not his fault that he likes me, that was my first kiss and I already decided that I will make him take responsibility ", I lie back, I can't possibly tell them that I saw this in drama!! besides, I can just refuse him the next time I see him.

everyone:"...."

Li Xiang:"....", I wanna tell the truth
