Mei Qingyang opened her eyes to find a beautiful sunrise coming out behind the clouds, so clearly seen from the window. She felt really tired for such a fresh morning for some reason and wanted to be in bed for some more time. She rolled around with half eyes closed and suddenly Yu Tian''s face popped up in front of her.

    "Aaaaaaaaah!" was her inadvertent response. Yu Tian was staring at her, supporting his head with one of his hands.

    "Wha… what are you doing here?" Mei Qingyang was flabbergasted. His face was so close. She suddenly covered her mouth, it was morning and her breath must be stinking. She needed to get out of here, this was so embarrassing ugh. Why were they in the same bed again?

    Yu Tian put his other arm around her waist from under the soft blanket and pulled her closer. With a smile on his face he spoke, "I could ask you the same question."

    Mei Qingyang got dazed for a moment. She has never paid attention to his voice before but today it was especially s.e.xy. No no, what am I thinking?

    She remembered the night before. How she was trying to help him. With his arm around her, she could feel that his fever was a lot better now. But… why was it burning wherever he was touching? Oof!

    Now that their bodies were so close that they could feel each other''s heat, Mei Qingyang''s stupid brain started getting ideas once again. Qingyang Qingyang, this guy will be death of you. Don''t think about it ah!

    But she did not have the heart to resist either. Reason would have dictated that she needed to get away from this dangerously attractive guy. But her heart was not giving her a way.

    However, his question meant he did not remember much about last night. His struggle, he even yelled at her and slapped her hand away. She could not take his sweaty pale face at that moment out of her mind. His complexion looked a lot better now.

    On the top of that, sun rays were directly hitting him. He looked like a devilish angel. If in her hands, she would have stroked his ethereal face but she needed to control her urges. Ah! Wasn''t this happening too often these days?

    Also, she needed to brush her teeth, ugh. How was he able to withstand the smell? And why did he look like all fresh and not smell at all, despite all the perspiration yesterday?

    And was it okay to tell him that she came to help him out? Would it hurt his pride that she knew about the beating part? But then, she could just say he was having some nightmares and was grunting in agony.

    From his perspective, the girl''s green marble eyes were lost. She was definitely doing some deep thinking. Did he do something last night? He did remember being very uncomfortable and then a familiar touch which let him sleep peacefully. He… he did not attack her, right?

    Did she come here knowing that he was remembering his past? How would she know? And what did he really do then?

    He hadn''t had the bad dreams for quite some time now. Perhaps he was thinking too much yesterday, that''s how he got them again. But did she really hear him all the way from the guest room? No one knew about his frequent insanity, not even Yu Bufan.

    He suddenly separated himself from her and covered his eyes with his arm while lying down straight. Why did she have to see this side of his like this? He wanted to ask her but was afraid of the answer. What if she was onto something? Would she ever like the truth? That the most powerful student in this whole school was a p.u.s.s.y before his aunt? She had hinted before that she knew but she still associated with him. So, was it pity then?

    Getting away from warm body of Mei Qingyang, he suddenly felt cold and realized his shirt was unbuttoned.

    Mei Qingyang saw that too and realized how she had forgotten to button it back. She had no idea when she drifted off to sleep last night. Last she remembered, she was patting him and coddling him like a baby.

    She checked if she had her own clothes on, because she did not trust herself when it came to this man. Then she wrapped the blanked around herself more tightly.

    Thankfully, everything was intact but this gesture did not escape Yu Tian who was still observing her from the corner of his eyes. What was this girl expecting? He smiled to himself.

    "Uhh… senior Yu, I am so sorry. I barged into your room in my sleep, I think. The thunders in the night were pretty scary haha," she tried to come up with an excuse. Yu Tian stared at her, why was she spouting such an obvious lie?

    "Oh? How would you explain this then?" He continued staring at her, without any expression, while displaying his perfect abs with the scars through his open shirt.

    Caught her red handed! Mei Qingyang''s face flushed red. Why did this guy had to be such a smarty pants? Could he just not go along with her white lie, it was for him anyway. How would she explain this ''accident'' to him?

    She averted her gaze in embarrassment and got up. "I am sorry Senior Yu. I did not mean it," she said while trying to get up from the bed and run away from this shameless guy.

    He caught her hand just in time and pulled her back.

    "I can guess what might have happened last night, so thank you," he stared into her eyes. She knew he was being sincere.

    "It''s been quite long since I have had such… sound sleep. How would you like to… help me out like this everyday?" he grinned sheepishly. Wait wait wait, wasn''t he asking her to sleep in his bed everyday? This shameless man!

    When did he start asking for favors so openly?

    "Ahem, Young Master Yu, aren''t you being too demanding eh?" Mei Qingyang said in a joking tone. She did not mind helping him out like last night, but everyday was too much. If one day she lost her own control, poor guy''s reputation would be sullied by her own hands.

    She realized she could not deal with this guy in a normal way. If he was really a victim of abuse, which was very apparent by new and old scars on his c.h.e.s.t, he could take her answers the wrong way. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt him. Right now, Yu Tian had a poker face on, so she could not even tell what he was thinking.

    "I mean, I would help out in… emergencies like yesterday, I don''t mind that," she confessed. Now ever her neck felt hot, she was probably red till there. She adjusted her disheveled hair, tucking a few strands behind her ear. The action to Yu Tian was so seductive that he could not help but reach out and kiss her neck impulsively.

    "Wha… what are you doing Senior Yu?" she yelled at him in embarrassment. Her blush deepened.

    "Could not help it," Yu Tian mumbled while retreating back into the bed with his back towards her. He had let go off her hand too. His heart was racing right now. Why did this girl make him so impulsive? He was supposed to be the calm, cool and composed male lead of a romance novel, what was up with this losing control?

    "I… I will go prepare breakfast," Mei Qingyang fled from the room as soon as she could. The coming days were becoming more dangerous for both of them. It was a matter of time that they both would lose control one day.
