767 SOMEONE IS HERE

Mu Liang said, "Let me hug you for a while. I will be fine."

Mu Lan nodded. "Okay." She led him to the couch. She sat down and pulled him down to sit as well. After he sat down, she encircled her arms around his head and pulled him closer. Mu Liang put his head on her bosom and stayed there, listening to her heartbeats.

The summer wind blew and the curtains danced. There were rustling sounds from the leaves outside.

Mu Lan brushed Mu Liang's hair with her fingers and smelt his manly odor. Her left hand tenderly stroked his back. She felt him inhale and exhale as the warm air touched her chest. When she first came inside the room, his heart was beating rapidly. Now his heart was a lot calmer than before. His heartbeats were matching hers. She leaned forward and kissed his hair.

She didn't say, "It's going to be alright." Or she didn't say anything to make him feel better. All she gave him was her presence and all the time he needed.
