Chapter 17 - Yours
Is that all? He's afraid that I'm going to leave him?
He seemed shaken up, as if he didn't have control of the situation.
Aluna Yan
Who said that I was going to leave you?
I brought my hand up and turned his face so that his eyes met mine.
Aluna Yan
As long as you are here and I exist, I'll always be attached to you in some shape or form.
Aluna Yan
What could I give you that would guarantee my return...
I pondered for a while until my fingers found my hairpin.
I smiled and pulled it out, allowing my hair to flow undone.
Aluna Yan
This is my most precious possession. You know why it's precious, don't you?
He remembered what I had told him. I slowly took his hand out and placed the silver hairpin into the palm of his hand, closing it over.
Aluna Yan
I'll be back for that... after we finish the mission.
Li Wei
That's not enough...
He grabbed onto my waist and pulled me towards him.
Li Wei
I want you. I want your whole being.
Li Wei
Promise me that... and I'll consider it.
I smiled and took his hand, putting it onto my cheek affectionately.
Aluna Yan
Okay. I promise.
Meanwhile, from the room above, Lu Aotian grinned.
Lu Aotian
You dare think that you don't have any weaknesses... well, love is the greatest one of them all.
We walked back to our room and I got ready for bed behind the partition.
Li remained by the windowsill, holding his sword, per usual.
I laid down into the bed, looking up to him.
I then slid into the sheets and turned my face towards him.
His head turned towards me as I opened up the sheets for him.
I invited him into the bed. He stared at me from where he was sitting and immediately gulped.
He was quick to turn his head, refusing to go near me.
In that bed, he had touched me so indecently. He knew that sharing a bed with me for a whole night would be impossible with that sort of temptation.
I gently drifted to sleep and when he felt my breathing slow down, he jumped down from his perch and out of the window, straight for the training grounds where he trained for the whole night, non stop.
Now, he had someone he wished to protect.
He needed to be my strength... no matter what.
Meanwhile, Lu Aotian took out a painting from his desk drawer and smiled at the picture in his hands.
Lu Aotian
You told me that she was going to come home... and it seems like she has.
Lu Aotian
You really thought of everything, old man...
