But who knows that just when they step into the room, Ah Qi trap Bai Yi Yang between his arms, her back is against the door. Ah Qi who is way taller than Bai Yi Yang look down at her.
"Look up." Ah Qi whisper, his finger hook onto her chin so their eyes met. Bai Yi Yang gulp and she have a slight frown but she can't also help but blush. What is this man doing now?
"Do you like me?" Ah Qi ask in low tone. When Bai Yi Yang wanted to look away, he took her chin again, not letting her avert her eyes away.
"I.." Bai Yi Yang don't know how to answer this kind of sudden question. What more, Qi Sheng distance now is too close, she can smell his cologne and feel his breath on her face. Her heart is beating very fast, most probably because she is nervous and things like this, she never experienced it.
"It's an easy question, do you like me or not?" Ah Qi ask again, this time one of his hand are caressing her cheek.
"En." Bai Yi Yang nod. As if possessed, she nod. She also don't know to be honest, but she can't lie that she like Qi Sheng, if not, she won't sacrifice so many of her precious points on him. Qi Sheng level of importance is similar to her siblings.
"Good, then next time don't be alone with other men..or boys. If you are bored call me. I came here to tell you this." Ah Qi got the answer that he want and his smile become deeper as he said this. Bai Yi Yang has really aroused his interest, since it is like that, other men who is interested in her should stay away.
"What? I don't understand.." Bai Yi Yang ask confusedly. What does this mean?
"You said you like me, so you should only like me." Ah Qi grinned, he pinched her cheek.
En, she looks better each time he saw her. Last time, he thinks she just look average. But, this past month, seeing her pictures sent by the investigators he sent, she become more pleasing to the eyes. Her face feels soft too, it's not bad to have her all for himself.
"Qi Sheng ge..I did say I like you, but.." Bai Yi Yang wanted to explain. Of course she like Qi Sheng but why does she feel that this is going to a different direction? This doesn't feel right.
Ah Qi frown when Bai Yi Yang say that name. There is a reason why he didn't use that name Qi Sheng. He don't want to use it, what more when Bai Yi Yang call him with that.
"Don't call me that, call me Ah Qi." Ah Qi said.
"Alright, Ah Qi. I think you have taken my words wrong." Bai Yi Yang said. Her body is only 16, Ah Qi is 22, that doesn't seems right. What more, she initially like him just like how she is looking at idol. It's not romantic.
"Then, you mean you don't like me? I am not a fool, I know how to differentiate like and dislike. You save my life, let me stay in your house even though I am a stranger, treat me kindly, you even blush and your heart beats fast. Are you saying that you don't like me?" Ah Qi said seriously. Hearing this, Bai Yi Yang think again, well, that is true. That's because the Qi Sheng here is very different from the Qi Sheng she used to know, she is a straight female who like the opposite sex too, being attracted to Ah Qi should be natural right?
"That is true.." Bai Yi Yang nod and can only admit it.
"Then, that's settled. You can say that you have a boyfriend next time someone wanted to court you." Ah Qi smile returned again.
He also don't know what he is doing now, he only feels that he should keep her inside his palm. 'Flies' are hoarding around Bai Yi Yang, he just don't like it.
His relationship with Bai Yi Yang, it begins with feeling extremely guarded against her, then he become very curious of her motives, knowing that she doesn't have any bad intention towards him while helping him make him feel tremendously grateful, and seeing her sincerely care for him made him think that he must have her for himself. To hell with the other people who also wanted her.
This is the reason he is doing this. He knows that Bai Yi Yang won't reject him, he is very confident about this. Bai Yi Yang is like someone who was sent by the world just to spoil him.
"What settled?!" Bai Yi Yang is shocked. This is really going towards this direction as she thought. She never have been in a relationship before and now she suddenly gain a boyfriend, what more he is Qi Sheng, someone that she don't even dare to dream in the last life.
"I am 16 and you are 22." Bai Yi Yang think that she should remind this man about their situation now. What more, at most they only like each other, well she likes and cares for him but not to the extent of falling in love yet.
"So?" Ah Qi look at her again, frowning and looking a bit pitiful.
"That's illegal. You can be imprisoned." Bai Yi Yang explain seriously, there is no way that he didn't know right? Even though she doesn't have the heart to reject Ah Qi, this still doesn't feel right.
"I know. But..you have seen and even touch my body. Aren't you taking responsibility?" Ah Qi said cunningly. He pull Bai Yi Yang hand and let them rest on both side of his waist, even when Bai Yi Yang wanted to pull away, he held onto her hands.
"That doesn't count, I was treating your injury." Bai Yi Yang glare at him. Why does she feel that he is trying to lure a white lamb to do sin with his beautiful eyes.
"I don't care, take responsibility." Ah Qi chucked to her ears.
Bai Yi Yang stay frozen like that for a few moments before making a decision. This is too bizarre but it's not like she doesn't like Ah Qi and to be honest, it's not like she is on the losing side. Qi Sheng is actually way too good for her.
"Alright." Bai Yi Yang sigh.
"En, good girl." Ah Qi smile and stole a quick peck on her lips. Bai Yi Yang was totally frozen this time, her first kiss in both life is gone just like that.
"Why?" Ah Qi saw the shock on her face and grin.
"You!" Bai Yi Yang blush hard and push Ah Qi away before leaving him in the bedroom alone. Ah Qi smile and didn't run after her. He knows that matter is settled.
After a while did he come out of the room, seeing Bai Yi Yang pacing back and forth in front of the door, he took her hand. He never like people touching him, but he like holding Bai Yi Yang warm small hand. Bai Yi Yang is just a novel existence in his 22 years of life, he wanted to keep her next to him all the time.
"We must keep this as a secret okay?" Bai Yi Yang pull him to a corner where people from outside cannot see as she said this anxiously. She don't want to say this to anyone yet, even to TongTong because she know TongTong will judge her.
"Okay." Ah Qi agree and pull her closer for a hug. He like seeing her being like this, all angsty.
"No hugging either. We are only using the title." Bai Yi Yang said. No matter what, this just feel not right, Ah Qi is already 22, why does it feel like she is the one teaching him what should be done and shouldn't?
"There is no one." Ah Qi didn't listen to her and continue to cling onto her.
"The children can come inside anytime." Bai Yi Yang said, trying to take off his long arm around her.
"En." Ah Qi finally relented but his eyes didn't left Bai Yi Yang.
"Why are you doing this?" Bai Yi Yang can finally think straight now that she is not entrapped by him.
"Because you are my lifesaver and I like you a lot." Ah Qi answer honestly.
Well, what kind of answer this is? Bai Yi Yang thought. It's not like she is entirely clueless, Ah Qi kind of like is different than the romantic kind of like, he said he like her but she remember clearly how Song Zheng Sheng confess to her last time, this is not it. Ah Qi seems to have this some kind of attachment to her now, he is actually quite clingy, see, he didn't even let go of her hands.
Is it his childhood? He is an orphan so maybe he is seeking this kind of love from her? Well, if it is that, then that is really quite pitiful. She saved his life and take care of him, maybe he get this attachment from that.
"Okay. It's still early, if you have someone you like in the future, then we will end this then." Bai Yi Yang pat the back of his hand.
"What do you mean?" Ah Qi eyes turns grim, even Bai Yi Yang got a goosebumps.
"I mean..this can be a temporary attraction and you may meet someone you truly like in the future. I will stop using that title of your girlfriend too later." Bai Yi Yang feels that he is a bit scary now but she still need to explain it.
"There is no need. Why, are you saying that you will like someone else while being my girlfriend?" Ah Qi ask again, his hold onto Bai Yi Yang hands tighten a bit.
"Of course not." Bai Yi Yang answer immediately.
"Then that's enough." Ah Qi face turns sunny again and Bai Yi Yang is pulled into an embrace again.
Bai Yi Yang sigh with relief. Why does she think that she is facing a person who can change his emotions in mere seconds? Anyway, she can handle that much, she can be patient with Ah Qi.
Ah Qi smile as he hug Bai Yi Yang. His long trip here is worth it, he have earned a treasure. Even though he force his way with it, he can confidently said that Bai Yi Yang have this soft spot for him for sure.
"I am hungry." Ah Qi said after Bai Yi Yang pull off from the hug.
"Right, you must be hungry. What do you want to eat?" Bai Yi Yang ask.
"Anything that you cook, they all taste good." Ah Qi said.
"Then, wait and rest here. Let's have an early dinner today so that you can rush back." Bai Yi Yang said.
"Okay." Ah Qi agree. What more, he really need to return tonight. This morning his driver send him here from City Zhou which takes them 7 hours. When he was waiting for Bai Yi Yang to respond his text, he was actually already at the side of the road near their village entrance.
And, this is one more fact that Ah Qi hides from Bai Yi Yang. He actually wasn't from City Shan, he is originally from City Zhou.
