Ming Shu wanted to catch the ball but before she could touch it, she felt something was amiss. She quickly retracted her hand.
The ball continued bouncing rhythmically.
Ming Shu went around the ball and arrived beside the bed.
There was a small light beside the bed. Yu Shenâs face didnât seem so pale anymore.
Ming Shu squatted down and looked at him.
His hands were outside the blanket. Ming Shu grabbed his little finger.
Time seemed to have stopped at that moment.
Yu Shen was asleep but when Ming Shu grabbed his little finger, he woke up.
He knew that it was her.
The scent on her body was special. It seemed familiar to him and calmed him down.
Hot air blew in his face. A kiss landed on his mouth corner. It moved to his lips. Yu Shen didnât know what she wanted to do, but he liked this feeling.
Yu Shen was kissed passionately. The person kissing him was not satisfied and tried to open his mouth with her tongue.
Yu Shenâs mind exploded. He forgot to breathe.
He heard her voice.
âBe good. Open your mouth.â
Yu Shen followed her order.
A soft tongue poked inside and rubbed against his sensitive spot. He felt a numbness spreading through his body.
After a while, he realized... she knew that he was awake.
He wanted to turn his body but she stopped him. She bore down on him.
They were both wearing pajamas so he could feel her body pressing against his chest.
Yu Shenâs heart pounded furiously. His mind was blank. He didnât know what to think and how to react.
He didnât know how much time had passed. It seemed long but short at the same time.
She got up slowly. The weight on his body lessened.
He struggled for a moment before opening his eyes slowly.
His eyes were slightly misty. He looked at the person on top of him in the dim light.
He opened his mouth and said, âYou...â
âDo you like it?â Ming Shu smiled. âDo you like it when I kiss you?â
The young man thought for a while.
âYes.â
Ming Shu turned and lay beside him. âStop using your supernatural power at night then. Itâs noisy.â
The young man: â...â
Just because of this?
Yu Shen raised his hand. The ball stopped jumping.
The house turned quiet.
Yu Shen could hear her breathing beside his ear. It was soft and light.
He moved his fingers and carefully touched her hand. âIf I like your kisses, does that mean that I like you?â
âWho knows? Iâm not you.â
â... You donât like me?â
âYes.â Ming Shu agreed.
Yu Shen put his hand down. Their hands touched, but there was no other point of contact. His heart seemed to have stopped. His blood turned cold.
The happiness he felt just now had disappeared.
âWhy did you kiss me then?â
âI just kissed you. You will not get pregnant. Do you want me to be responsible for you? If you donât like it, you can kiss me back.â
â...â
Yu Shen suddenly sat up. Ming Shu was lying on the blanket so he fell off the bed.
âGet out.â Yu Shen climbed up. He pointed outside. âGet out.â
Ming Shu slowly sat up. âAre you sure?â
Yu Shen was not sure.
However, he gritted his teeth. âGet out.â
Ming Shu got off the bed and walked to the balcony.
Yu Shen looked at her as she disappeared from the balcony. His body turned weak and he fell onto the bed.
He was thinking too much.
He was just thinking too much...
...
For the next few days, the room upstairs remained quiet. There was no sound at night too.
The servants that sent food upstairs would be sent down almost instantly.
Old Master Wen started to get worried. He personally sent food upstairs. Yu Shen took the food and said that he would eat, but when the servants came to collect the plates, they were untouched.
Ming Shu didnât reflect on her mistakes. She continued with her life.
Am I so easy to woo?
That will make me seem cheap!
âYoung Master, be careful...â
Besides going to the medicine room, Yu Shen would stay in his room. Ming Shu needed to go to school so she rarely had the chance to see him.
One weekend, Ming Shu cane out of her room and saw him coincidentally.
He looked tired. There were dark circles under his eyes. Ming Shu was afraid that he would fall down when he was walking.
Yu Shen looked at her before lowering his head. He continued going down.
Old Master Wen stood at the door. He was waiting for him.
When he saw Ming Shu coming down, Old Master Wen smiled and said, âYinyin, Iâll be taking Little Shen out. We might not be back tonight.â
Ming Shu jumped down and pulled Old Master to the side.
âThereâs something wrong with his body. Where are you taking him?â
âI find it weird too. He cooperates with me but his body is worse than before.â Old Master Wen sighed.
âSo where are you taking him?â
âYinyin, you seem worried about him.â Old Master Wen didnât answer her.
Ming Shu looked at Yu Shen. He was getting into a car.
âI like him.â
Old Master Wen was shocked. âYou two didnât have much interaction. How...â
His granddaughter seemed much happier nowadays but besides eating, she always stayed in her room. He never saw the two of them together. They only went out together that one time.
âGrandfather, you didnât answer my question.â
âThe Supernatural Power Administration asked for his help.â
âBut his body...â
Old Master Wen felt helpless too. âHe agreed to help.â
He was not even Yu Shenâs guardian. Since Yu Shen agreed to help, he could only object from the standpoint of a doctor. He couldnât lock him up in his room.
âWhat help do they need? What is his supernatural power?â Controlling the ball to jump and make noise every night?
âYinyin, this has nothing to do with you. You should just study hard.â
âGrandfather, he is very important to me.â
Old Master Wen looked at his granddaughter. She had stayed with him for so many years but now, he couldnât understand what she was thinking.
âYinyin...â
...
In the end, Ming Shu got into the car, but she was not in the same car as Yu Shen.
The car stopped outside the Supernatural Power Administration. It was a weird building. The outside of the building was entirely different from the inside.
It must be due to supernatural power.
Fu Yubo personally came to welcome them. When he saw Ming Shu getting off the car, his expression changed slightly. He managed to cover it up quickly.
Yu Shen was protected entirely by his bodyguards like a china doll.
Fu Yubo greeted Old Master Wen first before talking to Yu Shen.
Yu Shen would normally agree to what the other person was saying, but he wouldnât do anything.
Fu Yubo invited them in. âLetâs go in and talk.â
Ming Shu followed behind them. One of Yu Shenâs bodyguards came beside her.
âMiss Sang Yin, you are Old Master Wenâs granddaughter so I canât do anything to you. I just hope that you can think about our Young Master.â
He ran to catch up with the rest of the people after he finished speaking.
Ming Shu: â???â
Think about what?
