The Devil’s love

Ning frowned and said," I cannot believe my grandpa wants me to marry someone like you."

Yichan chuckled and said," Grandpa Yang really has a very nice choice but too bad I am not interested in you." ​​

Ning smiled and said," I don't want someone like you to be interested in me as well."

" Do you want me to go away?" Yichan asked.

Letting his arm go, Ning said," Alright, just leave."

Yichan raised his eyebrows and asked," Are you sure you want to leave?"

Looking around, Ning took a deep breath to calm herself down and said," Yes."

" Okay but once I get up and walk away, I am not going to come back no matter how much you cry or even pass out." Yichan said.

When Ning did not say anything, Yichan got up and started walking towards the kitchen.

After he left, Ning pulled Yichan's coat closer and murmured," You are brave girl Ning and nothing is going to happen." before placing her hand on her chest.

With her heartbeat accelerating and her whole body turning cold and numb, Ning had no idea what to do.

Thinking for quite sometime, she decided to swallow her pride and ego and call Yichan back when she heard footsteps coming towards her.

Sitting beside her, Yichan said," Well, what if something happens to you when I am soundly sleeping inside the kitchen? I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble. What if something really happens and you tell the police that it was me who did something? I don't want to take any kind of risk."

Moving closer, Ning said," You can go away if you want to."

Without saying anything, Yichan closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

" Are you sleeping?" Ning asked.

" No I am dancing, wanna join?" Yichan asked before closing his eyes once again.

After some time, Ning nudged his arm and said," Yichan it's raining."

" Does the ceiling of this mansion leak or something like that?" Yichan asked.

Ning shook her head and said," No."

" Do you have clothes hanging on the terrace?" Yichan asked.

Ning shook her head and said," No"

" Then what are you worried about? Just sleep." Yichan said.

" What if there is an earthquake and-"

Cutting her off, Yichan said," Will you stop thinking about shitty things and get some sleep?"

When Ning lowered her head and did not say anything, Yichan sighed and said," Alright, I won't sleep until you do okay? So stop thinking and get some sleep."

" What if you fall asleep?" Ning asked.

" I won't and you can use my arm as your pillow." Yichan said.

Without saying anything, Ning wrapped her arms around his and hugged it tightly before placing her head on his shoulder.

Yichan frowned when he realised how cold her hands were.

Waiting for quite some time when Yichan heard her steady breathing, he placed his warm palms on her cold hands and started rubbing it lightly.

Slowly removing her arms from his, Yichan wrapped his arms around her shoulder and pulled her closer before holding her hand with his other free hand.

Looking at her face, Yichan smiled. It had been five years yet nothing had changed. She was still the most beautiful woman he had ever met in his entire life. The only thing that changed were the affectionate feelings and love that they had for each other.

But did he really stop loving her? Was he really over her?

Yichan sighed and helplessly shook his head. She was still the most important woman in his life no matter what had happened between them.

Kissing her forehead, Yichan said," Goodnight my strawberry." Before letting out a soft chuckled.
