A few minutes later

” Y-Yichan.” Ning shouted when he did not come back after a few minutes. ​​

Ning gulped in nervousness and slowly got up when Yichan did not say anything.

” Yichan.” Ning shouted before slowly walking towards the kitchen.

Stopping right outside the kitchen, Ning shouted,” Yichan, where are you?”

When Ning saw the pitch black kitchen, she took a few steps backwards.

” Ahhhhhh.”

Ning shivered and gulped in nervousness when she heard Yichan’s scream followed by some crashing sounds.

” Yichan, are you alright?” Ning shouted.

When Yichan did not say anything, Ning panicked and shouted,” Yichan if this is a joke then it’s not funny.” before squatting on the ground and burying her face on her knees.

” Yichan.” Ning murmured before bursting into tears.

Just then, Yichan who was hiding inside the kitchen to ‘ BOO’ her after she entered the kitchen quickly rushed outside when he heard her sobbing.

Squatting down, Yichan said,” Hey hey, stop crying. I am right here okay? Don’t cry.”

Pouncing into his embrace, Ning said,” You always do this.” before hitting him on his chest.

” Ssshhh calm down, I am sorry. I’ll never do it again.” Yichan said before pulling her closer.

After some time, Yichan said,” I got the candles, come let’s sit on the couch.” Before helping her up.

Looking at her tear stained face, Yichan frowned and said,” I was just planning to scare you a little but look at you?” Before wiping her tears away.

Smacking him on his arm, Ning said,” You know how scared I feel but you-”

Cutting her off, Yichan said,” I thought you are no longer scared of anything. I mean the way you act all high and mighty, I thought you fear nothing.”

Looking at him, Ning said,” A few things never change no matter how much we try. It just stubbornly stays inside you even though you don’t want it to.”

Wiping a tear from the corner of her eyes with his thumb, Yichan mocking smirked and said,” You are right and we have to keep it within us no matter how much it hurts you.”

Taking out a bunch of candles from his suit pocket, Yichan said,” Let’s light this up.”

When Ning refused to let his arm go, Yichan said,” Don’t worry, I am not leaving you alone. Come let’s go and sit there.” Before wrapping his arms around her shoulder and guiding her towards the couch.

After lighting the candles up, Yichan sat down on the carpeted floor and said,” You can sit on the couch or wherever you like.”

Looking around, Ning thought for awhile before sitting down beside him.

When Yichan raised his eyebrows, Ning quickly said,” What? This is my place so I don’t want you to feel alone or lonely. It’s my duty to make you feel at home.”

” Oh so you sitting beside me will make me feel like home?” Yichan asked.

Ning did not say anything and kept on staring at the brightly lit candle.

When Yichan saw her constantly rubbing her arms, he took off his suit and placed it on her shoulder.

” I don’t need this.” Ning said.

Yichan smirked and said,” Oh trust me Ms Yang you need the jacket and it’s owner the most tonight.”

Ning frowned when she saw his silly smirk. She hated his smirk more than she hated him.

Brushing his hands through his suit, Yichan said,” Be careful okay, this is a very expensive suit.”

” Take it back then.” Ning said before taking it off.

Grabbing her hand, Yichan said,” It’s fine, wear it otherwise you will catch a cold.”
