Stealing Your Heart

Shen Xinyao felt her heart melt at his statement. She leaned into his arms, feeling safe as she breathed in his scent.

“Do you know how scared I was earlier? I was prepared to die…”

Zhuang Jiawen covered her mouth. “It’s in the past now. Don’t think about it anymore, and don’t talk about dying. Do you want me to be a widower?”

Shen Xinyao pursed her lips. “You can look for someone else.”

“But the one I love is you.” Looking at the time, Zhuang Jiawen realized it was almost time for the sun to rise; it was already five. He then reached out to wipe her face. “Let’s not make our parents worry about us, okay?”

With reddened eyes, Shen Xinyao nodded. “Okay.”

“I’ll get you your clothes.” Zhuang Jiawen stood up to get Shen Xinyao’s clothes from her room. In the blanket, Shen Xinyao remained still as she watched him.

Zhuang Jiawen chuckled, “What’s wrong? Do you want me to put on your clothes for you?”

She shook her head. “No. Leave the room first.”

Zhuang Jiawen fell silent.
