The pitter patter of steps along the corridor the next morning broke Jia’s peaceful sleep. She yawned and stretched her arms but to her surprise, didn’t find Mingshen in bed. There seed to be no presence in the bathroom either.
"It’s only , huh..."
Jia grabbed a pillow slowly and stuffed her face into it.
Aaaahhhhhhh!!! Did I really sleep with Yang Mingshen!
After thoroughly expressing her internal embarrassnt, she finally took the cushion off and breathed out, which was when she heard a buzz from her phone. She turned over her belly and slid the green button.
"Sissss!! Where are you!? I have been trying to call you since yesterday! The bomb! The bomber! The Bureau! Are you safe? Are you hurt anywhere? Please call sis! I am so worried for you!"
Ugh...Damn it.
A massive knife of guilt cleaved clean through her heart upon reading Lihua’s ssage. She didn’t waste a single second before dialing her number and Lihua took even less than a second to pick her call.
"SIS!!!"
Her worry-filled voice blasted in her ear. "Li-Lihua..."
"Sis, where are you! I have been trying to call you since yesterday!" Her cries and tears and sniffles made it difficult for Lihua to continue.
"Lihua, I am so sorry. Everything happened so quickly yesterday. But don’t worry. I am fine! The bomber is in custody and the Bureau is safe too. I promise I didn’t get hurt at all."
"I-I was so worried for you!"
Jia imagined her sister’s face flushed red with pure anxiety. "I am sorry. I am really sorry. You can twist my ear when we et. I will beco a donkey too."
"B-Bro Huojin said you are safe b-but I wanted to hear your voice just once...Just where are you anyway?"
Her brow twitched.
If I tell her about last night...my dear sister won’t survive this shock.
"Mrs. Zhang said you weren’t at ho either. Bro Huojin wasn’t giving a straight answer either! Sis, a-are you lying to ?"
"No, no! I swear by Weiyun and Lii’s na that I am safe!"
"Then where are you?" She sniffled again.
"That..."
Suddenly, a weight settled upon her back, slowly but distinctly. A pair of palms lay flat on the mattress, then sliding under her waist as a certain devil’s head rested upon her right shoulder.
"Yes, tell your sister, Jia," his warm, breathy voice said in a hushed tone. "Where are you?"
"Sshh!" Jia threw a soft glare to warn him of silence.
"Sshh? Si-Sis, are you mad at ...?" Lihua’s voice fell further.
"Ugh! No, no, no!! I wasn’t talking to you!"
"Then who?"
Mingshen dipped his head and placed a soft kiss along her neckline. The tip of his nose pushed against her soft skin, kissing so more. Then more and more until he bit her earlobe teasingly.
Jia found her concentration drifting apart as a familiar heat trembled across her body. She coughed. "Um...no-nobody. I was just...squatting away a fly," she smacked his head.
"Oh...okay, okay."
Mingshen pouted and pressed his teeth firr upon her soft earlobe.
"...Yes, so d-don’t worry about , Lihua," she sucked in a breath, "I am fine. I will drop by a visit to Zhao villa this afternoon."
Her brow twitched heavily as his palm sneakily settled on her breast and that sa husky voice breathed into her ear again.
"Afternoon is too soon. I have booked this room till evening and we are not checking out until the very last second."
This shaless devil...
Her smile faltered once. "E-Evening? It might take evening too...But we will definitely et today! So no more crying, okay?"
After a little more consoling, she finally convinced Lihua and they ended the call. Jia heaved out a breath and squinted her eyes the next second, slapping his hand away from his chest.
"Yang Mingshen! Don’t interrupt when I am talking to Lihua."
He pouted again. "You said you were squatting away a fly. How rude. I felt hurt."
He then grabbed her shoulder and turned her over to face him. "Where have you ever seen a fly this handso?"
She glared. "You had nearly exposed yourself!"
"So?" He raised a brow as if he didn’t see any problem with it.
The corner of her lips twitched. "Look. Lihua is already in shock as is with the threat that passed yesterday. She will collapse if she learns what happened last night between us. You two are not...exactly on good terms."
He gasped. "What do you an? Little chili and I are best buddies~"
"..."
"...Don’t you ever feel afraid that lightning will strike you one day, Mingshen?"
"Let that day co when it cos, but for now...I want a different strike to hit ," he tilted his head with a smile. "Rember that I won last night."
"Hey, just declaring it doesn’t count. By the way, where were you just now?"
"Oh! Yup, I brought a hot compress for you," he withdrew his weight almost imdiately and grabbed the water bag from the bedside table.
"Hot compress?" She half-leaned her weight on her elbows and looked curiously.
Mingshen adjusted a pillow behind her back and pulled the blanket over her stomach, placing the hot compress on top of it. Warmth seeped in a few seconds later.
"You must be feeling sore, right? This will help relax the muscles," he then took a pause, "How much is it hurting?"
"...It’s not that bad. Just a little sore."
His eyes narrowed for a mont to gauge if she was being truthful. He concluded she was, so he nodded. "Then let’s have a warm shower after so ti. Then you will eat a good breakfast and then rest through the afternoon and then we will leave."
Her eyes widened. "Really? That’s all?"
"What else?"
"Didn’t you just say we will check out in the evening?"
"Yes. And we are checking out in the evening."
"...What about shower sex?"
His brow arched at that. "Huh. Sobody else seems to look forward to it more than ."
"..."
"Shower sex is still my fantasy, but we can do it so other ti~ I know a body’s limits, especially after a first ti. For now..." he slipped into the duvet himself and pulled her in his arm, "I want to cuddle."
