Chapter 140 - Youve Been There In Every Goddamned Though Of Mine (1/2)

”Men and women should have a proper distance between them,” She pressed her palms on his chest and pushed him away.

His brown eyes stared at her intensely, ”But we are friends, aren't we?” He asked, ever so innocently.

She opened her mouth to speak something but no words came out of her mouth.

”You said it's fine for friends to sleep together and it's perfectly normal. Remember?” He blinked.

It certainly sounded like something she said. She bit her bottom lips and thought back to the time when they were in Shanghai for his business trip.

Back then, they were not on speaking terms and he had taken the initiative to talk to her. They went to the terrace where he had informed her about his mother's disease and they talked about a lot of things.

They spent the whole night on the terrace, sharing the same blanket and she did not realize when she dozed off while looking at the stars.

The next morning when they woke up snuggled in each other's embrace, she was pretty casual about it and she had even said that it's common for friends to sleep together.

”But-”

”But what? Do you have something you want to say?” He raised an eyebrow and hugged her once again.

But that was what I said before we shared that mind-crashing heart-stopping crazily hot kiss. That was not what we were supposed to do.

She gulped her words looking into his curious eyes. It was better not to trigger his memories from last night. It was saving her from all the embarrassment she might have felt.

”It's nothing.”

”So you agree with me, right? Friends should hug more often,” Saying that, he once again stuffed her in his arms like a fluffy pillow.

Not being able to budge him with her strength she bit his chest.

Since he was not wearing a shirt, her teeth did work pretty well as his grip on her slightly loosened.

Taking advantage of the moment, she sat up on the bed and moved away from him, ”We are no longer friends. You should remember it first,” she scoffed and turned around to get off the bed.

A gasp escaped her lips when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him in one swift move. She ended up lying on top of him. Her hair fell over his shoulder framing their faces like a sheer curtain as sunlight passed through the gaps between her tresses making them have a good look at each other in the sprinkling golden rays.

”Mei,” He tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear and hugged her tightly before burying his face in her neck, ”I have been living alone all this while...I don't remember how long it has been. But I have never once felt empty all these years, unlike these two months which made me feel like I have dropped a part of me somewhere. It was not my intention to hurt you but I ended up doing it anyway...” He let out a drawn breath.

She shivered at the sensation of his hot breath stroking the nape of her neck but for once, she did not struggle in his embrace.

She let him hold her as he wanted. Afterall...
