Han Jie lay back down on the bed and covered her entire self with the blanket. Who told him to call her phone anyway?
”I won't ask anymore,” Suzuki Kyou said eventually after seeing her acting this way. ”I trust that you can find your phone on your own later, right?”
As if offended, ”Of course!” She declared, under the covers.
”That is fine. I will let you rest now.” He said as he stood up. Before leaving towards the door, though, Suzuki Kyou patted Han Jie's head and murmured, ”Be good, do not cause any trouble.”
Aside from patting her head, he also pressed his hands to touch her face then her cheek.
Han Jie felt like they were as large as a bear's paw. Not that she had ever seen one.
Instead of questioning his current action, ”What do you mean not cause any trouble? Are you trying to imply something?” She asked demandingly, her voice muffled as under the thick blanket.
”Who knows. Sleep now. Rest, and good night.” He then turned around and walked towards the door, leisurely.
Hearing his soft steps, Han Jie slowly and carefully lowered the blanket that she was using to cover herself to peek on him.
The room wasn't huge, but his stroll towards it made her suddenly feel like she was miles away from him. His back was lean, but straight as if confident that nothing could stop him.
With that thought, Han Jie covered herself again with a blanket, even before he got out of the room.
Because of that, she failed when he turned his head towards. If she saw his expression, Han Jie would surely shiver in fright and confusion. His eyes had the predatory gleam that would surely make her cringe.
Han Jie might also feel bad if she learned about this side of him. Before it did, no matter how many times she would try to draw the look of possessiveness into Master Shu's eyes. She knew that she would never get the intensity of it that she desired, like he wanted to possess someone very badly.
She failed to see these things as Han Jie was so busy reminiscing the past that started her interest with Suzuki Kyou.
