Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 3: Glory on the Other Side

Chapter 4

She had prepared a long speech originally.

But Ai Qing felt very hypocritical as she was about to speak.  She gave a deep sigh and released his hand.  She decided to be straight forward but he started to speak unexpectedly, “It’s alright.”

Uhm?

She looked up and saw the uncertainty in his eyes.  She recognized that he had thought too much again. The reason why she was debating how to express her feeling properly was exactly because she was afraid that he would think too much and break another tea cup, now……

He stopped himself from speaking again and used his actions to speak instead.  He stood up from sofa and walked towards the door.

“Wu Bai.”

Such a tall man stopped from just hearing her speak his name.

Dt was silent for a long while before he turned around to look at the girl standing in the living room.  “I don’t necessarily need to know the answer today.  Take your time.”

Did he misunderstand….again?

“I don’t want to…...be under the watchful eyes of everyone from the beginning.  We are all too familiar with each other, your cousin, Slide, and the others. Let’s take it slow, Okay?”  She was simply consulting with him,  “I don’t mean to hide it from anyone.  It is just, don’t announce it to the public all of a sudden and post to Weibo about it and stuff……”

Her speech grew more and more incoherent as she went on.

She had to express it clearly that they were in a very awkward position.  They had to consider the relationship between the two clubs, and many old friends, and even fans. She had to tell him very clearly that she didn’t mean to hide anything…...just to go with the flow.  After all it was only the beginning of a relationship.

Her heart was beating faster and faster.

They were in the living room of her own home, but she felt as if she was in a stranger’s house.

She was flustered, helpless, directionless, and she could only make a choice on instinct alone.

Abandon the past and look towards the uncertain future.

She saw this tall man walk close to her, getting closer and closer till there was he was one step away from her.  He was close enough that she was looking directly at his chest.  The K&K logo was looming inside the sports jacket.

Such a tangled relationship between SP and K&K……

Before she could figure out what the future embarrassing situation would be, Dt had already grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.  The overwhelming emotion made him lose control of his strength. When he felt something hit his chest hard, he pushed her away a little bit nervously.

Ai Qing’s nose felt squished, tears were streaming down her eyes.

“Us.”  He finally got a hold on reality and carefully confirmed,  “Do we kind of begin now?”

……

Ai Qing felt that she needed to look in the mirror.

Otherwise, Slide would think some world war had happened when he arrived, seeing one with a broken nose and the other with a cut on his hand.  With a burning face, she pushed him away with her elbow.  She covered her nose and quickly walked into the bathroom.
