New Friend

Jiang Ying Yue's hits gradually weakened until they stopped. She continued crying, releasing all of her hurt, fury and frustrations. Without noticing her own actions, her arms had wrapped around Lin Yehan's thin waist and she clung to him.

They remained embracing for how long, they didn't know. Only when they felt themselves shivering a little did they realize that they had stayed outside the cold night for too long.

She pressed her hands against his chest and pushed him away upon realizing the position they were in. Heat spread over her entire face and neck. 

He let her go and stepped back. Then he turned and faced the dark emptiness of the property grounds below them in order to give her time to get her bearings. He didn't want her to feel too awkward or uncomfortable around him after their embrace. From the corner of his eyes, he could see that she was wiping her wet face with the sleeve of her shirt.
