No matter how ‘in love’ he was with Yu Dong, he couldn’t just do anything that comes to his mind now, can he? If he did something like kissing Yu Dong and making a move on her, and if Fang Chi found out and suffered a shock then what will he do then? There was a possibility that Yu Dong might never forgive him!

So, even though it pained his heart, he placed his hands on Yu Dong’s shoulders and said, ” I am sorry, I didn’t mean for that to happen, I didn’t think that I will slip down like that.”

” Well, that’s a given,” said Yu Dong as she got off Xiao Hua’s body and looked away. It was a good thing that she has raised her body an inch above Xiao Hua or else, her gaze fell on Xiao Hua whose tiny body was almost quashed down by her —— thank goodness she planted a hand on her side and made sure that she didn’t let her entire weight fall on Xiao Hua, that dainty figure of his didn’t seem like it could have held her up. ” are you okay?”

” I am fine,” answered Xiao Hua as he picked himself off the ground and brushed the dust and debris that was sticking to his clothes. “I wasn’t paying—— ouch!” As he tried to move himself up from the ground, Xiao Hua gritted out and fell back with an extremely painful expression on his face. With one hand that was nursing his back, he somehow choked out, ” I think I hurt my back.”

”Are you serious?” asked Yu Dong as she crouched down and checked Xiao Hua’s back with the help of her spiritual energy and winced when she realised that Xiao Hua has indeed hurt his back because of the fall. Even though she tried to cushion the fall, looks like she wasn’t able to protect this soft and tender body of his. Feeling a bit guilty, Yu Dong looked around the wilderness that was spread around them and said, ” I think I have to carry you.”

” No, what are you thinking!” Xiao Hua hurriedly stopped her as he raised his hand and caught Yu Dong’s wrist. ” If someone sees us they will make a lot of rumours about us, think about what will happen to Fang Chi if he hears them? He is pregnant at the moment, you can’t do something reckless like that. Just leave me here, I will be fine.”

” Are you crazy?” Yu Dong was glad that Xiao Hua was thinking about Fang Chi but his care was really severe. How in the world can she even leave him here? ” This might not be the main forest but we can’t say those wild animals won’t come here, if you really think that you can spend the night here then you are wrong, we have to move you and bring you back to your house. If you do not get the treatment then your injury will only become even more difficult to treat.”

” Call the doctor here, then…” Xiao Hua griped as he threw his head back. ” Call him and tell him that I am dying here, ask him to come here before I pass on and if by any chance I pass on remember, I like blue or white make sure that you chose to colour my casket in that colour.”

Yu Dong was amused that she laughed out. ” Don’t worry, I am not going to let you die. I am worried that without you the world won’t be as colourful as it is now.”

Xiao Hua blushed as he turned his head and muttered, ” Says the one who finds me annoying.”

” When have I ever called you annoying?” said Yu Dong with a confused expression as she peered out of the thick hedges. ” I don’t think I have said anything like that.”

” Well, your precious manager calls me annoying every time and you have never corrected her, so I thought that you agreed with her,” said Xiao Hua with a slight pout causing Yu Dong to laugh even harder. ” That’s because you always call her stone face. That’s why I have never interrupted your fight because I know that it’s a daily thing for you two, but just because I have never said anything to stop her doesn’t mean that I agree with her, to her you might be annoying but to me, you are pretty cute.”

” Cute?” echoed Xiao Hua as he looked at Yu Dong with a surprised and affronted expression. Not sexy, beautiful but cute? What kind of compliment was this? He refused to accept this!

” That’s right,” said Yu Dong with a smile. ” Like an angry cat, don’t you think so too? Hey——” while she was still talking, Xiao Hua snatched her wrist and brought her palm closer to his lips. His expression that was full of pain just a moment ago turned as seductive as a bewitching siren, with his almond eyes narrowed ever so slightly with an inexplicable haze in them and with his lips skimming over at the back of her fingers, he smirked. ” Am I still cute in your eyes, eh Dong Dong?”

Yu Dong felt a very weird feeling creep on her spine as her ears turned red.

She has never looked at Xiao Hua like that and had always looked at him as a friend that was why she never felt anything for him but for the first time, she felt her heart skip a beat. Damn this sly mer.
