5. First Kiss

The day had turned into morning.

Yujie had woken up from her sleep. Her eyes slowly began to open.

"Yay ... I can see," she exclaimed joyfully.

She felt so happy that she wanted to scream.

A few minutes later, she realized something.

Yes ... She was now in a very luxurious room, like a royal palace.

"Oh my God ... This room is so big, I've never seen such a luxurious room before. Is this really Xinjian's place? He must be very rich, his house is this big and luxurious," she thought to herself.

Carefully, she got down from her bed and walked around every corner of the very spacious room.

"Hmm ... Where did Brother Xinjian go?" she monologued.

When she opened the bedroom door to go out, she was startled by the guard assigned to guard the room.

"Sorry, miss, for startling you," said the guard with his head bowed.

Yujie, being treated like that, scratched her neck, which wasn't itchy.

"Um ... It's okay, uncle," she replied kindly.

"Where are you going, miss?" asked the guard.

"I-I want to look around," she replied again.

As she was engrossed in looking around, suddenly there was a voice from behind her.

"Where are you going?"

Instantly, Yujie turned toward the source of the voice. However, she was shocked when she saw a handsome man with fair skin, a muscular body, tall stature, a sharp nose, and pink lips slowly approaching her.

Yujie, seeing this, gaped, whether in surprise or admiration only she knew.

"Hey ... Where are you going?" he asked again.

"E-excuse me, who are you?" Yujie asked nervously.

"Are you sure you don't know who I am?" he asked teasingly.

"Brother Xinjian?" she guessed softly, unsure.

Xinjian nodded his head.

"Huh? Really?" she asked, still in disbelief, her mouth open in shock.

Seeing Yujie just standing there gaping, he immediately lifted her and carried her back into the room.

•••

Once inside the room...

Xinjian sat on the sofa with Yujie on his lap.

"Is this really Brother Xinjian? I'm not dreaming, right?" she murmured, still unsure.

To be more certain, she pinched her own cheek and felt pain, indicating she was not dreaming.

"How is it? Still feel like a dream?" Xinjian asked, raising one eyebrow.

Yujie responded with a shake of her head.

Seeing this, Xinjian held back a smile because his girl looked so adorable.

"But... I feel like I've seen you before, or maybe someone else who looks like you? I'm not sure," she murmured, trying to remember.

This really made Xinjian feel charmed by Yujie's expression, making him very much want to bite her cheek.

"Your face looks like someone I have met before," said Yujie, still trying to remember.

"Why have you been smiling continuously?" she asked when she saw Xinjian always smiling.

"What do you think?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and poking Yujie's nose.

"Stop teasing me like that, just because you're handsome doesn't mean you can tease me as you please," Yujie said, covering her face with both hands.

"Now you admit that I'm handsome? Previously, you said I looked like an old man," he said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Hearing those words, Yujie remembered something.

"Don't tell me... the person I met before was you?" she asked, investigating.

"So what if it was?"

"You're not lying? Oh my gosh..." she replied, her face shocked.

"Eww... You're so ungrateful, you just left without a word. And you messed up my bed too, it's so annoying," she scolded, hitting Xinjian's broad chest repeatedly.

However, the owner of the body just smiled amusedly, feeling nothing from the hits.

Unable to hold back his amusement any longer, Xinjian immediately carried her to the bed and pinned her down.

Realizing what was happening, Yujie stopped hitting him.

"Are you satisfied with hitting me?" Xinjian whispered, given their close proximity.

"B-Brother, I'm sorry, I just emmm..." Yujie couldn't finish her sentence as Xinjian kissed her slowly but a bit roughly.

This made Yujie struggle to break free from the kiss, but she couldn't do anything and could only surrender.

Xinjian immediately broke the kiss. He realized he had gone too far with his girl.

"Sorry, Yujie, I didn't mean to..." said Xinjian.

"Hiks... Hiks... I'm no longer a maiden, my lips are no longer virgin, you're so mean," she cried, pushing Xinjian away from her and holding her lips.

"Yujie, forgive me," he pleaded again. But there was no response from Yujie to Xinjian's words.

A few minutes later, Xinjian left to take care of something.

"Don't go..." she whispered softly.

"I'm not, now take a nap, rest," Xinjian said softly as well.

"Um... alright, I'll sleep," she surrendered, as she was indeed already sleepy.

A while later, once Yujie seemed to be sound asleep, Xinjian got off the bed and went outside the mansion to meet someone.

"Good afternoon, boss. What do you need that you called me here?" asked Jianyu.

"I have a task for you. Find out everything about my girl. Investigate all the truths about her and report back to me as soon as possible," he explained to Jianyu, the chief guard and his right-hand man, also known as Xinjian's trusted person.

"His girl? Since when does the boss care about a woman?" he wondered to himself.

"Hey... I don't like repeating myself," Xinjian said coldly.

"Yes, boss. I'll carry out your orders immediately," he replied, a bit nervous, fearing his boss would be angry if he knew what he was thinking.

After discussing this matter, Jianyu excused himself to continue his work as the deputy CEO.

After Jianyu left, Xinjian busied himself again with his laptop.

Amid his busyness, he felt that someone was watching him.

Using his sixth sense, he saw that someone was indeed spying on him.

Without delay, Xinjian stepped out of the mansion, his face transformed into that of a vampire, and it was certain that the person would not survive for daring to disturb his peace.

"Slashh..."

"Akhh..."

"Damn, you found my hiding spot," said the person, clutching his left arm, which was torn from Xinjian's claw.

"How dare you disturb me."

Xinjian then dragged the human to a more secluded place so that his disguise would not be revealed.

Slashh..

Slashh..

Slashh..

Xinjian unleashed blow after blow upon his helpless enemy.

He clawed at him relentlessly until the man was powerless.

He then grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him into the air.

"Mercy... ple-ace..." the man begged, his words stuttered due to difficulty breathing.

"There is no mercy for wretched humans like You."

Crackk...

With one swift motion, the man lay lifeless on the ground.

Xinjian, still unsatisfied, stomped on the man's head until it was shapeless.

After feeling satisfied, he left the corpse in an old building far from the reach of other humans, even highly unlikely for any human to reach the building.
