After calming his emotions, Zhi Hei saw the maid coming up with a warm gla.s.s of milk . He took the gla.s.s of milk and dismissed all maids so that s.h.i.+ Xue would be more comfortable without strangers around .

*Knocks*

"s.h.i.+ Xue, I brought you a warm gla.s.s of milk" he smiled as he approached the girl whose leaning against the bed .

"Thank you . . . Zhi Hei . . " she said with grat.i.tude . .

"Here, be careful it's a bit hot"

Advertis.e.m.e.ntAs s.h.i.+ Xue held the gla.s.s of milk in her hands, she glanced at Zhi Hei . When she first woke up, the one who looked the most worried and anxious was him . . he even asked about her conditions more specific than the doctor himself .

"What are you thinking about? Zhi Hei remained his gentle smile as he took a seat on the chair next to her .

"What relations.h.i.+p do we have? How come I don't remember anything including myself?" She questioned with seriousness . Although she woke up, her face still lacked a bit of color making her look pale . She blinked a few times before waving for a response from Zhi Hei who was s.p.a.cing out looking at her .

*cough cough* "Sorry sorry, I was thinking of how to reply to you . . . you and I aren't related, but I am courting you . . . you had an accident and due to head injury, you forgot your past . You'll recover eventually . "

"Oh . . . . I see . Then . . my family . . . ? They might be worried sick . "

" . . . No . . . Your father pa.s.sed away years ago . . . " I can't let her know about her having dog s.h.i.+t members , she just woke up and can't stand this, Zhi Hei thought to himself .

As soon as she heard that she had no family, her eyes became pink . She looked away from Zhi Hei and tried to control her tears as she thought of herself being alone and having no home to return to . Sensing something was off and seeing her trembling slightly, Zhi Hei quickly got up and asked her if she was feeling unwell . When he saw that she was sobbing like a child, her cheeks flushed as warm tears that flowed out of her eyes, his heart softened . He gently rubbed her back and held her into his embrace . He whispered to her with a heart-aching voice "It's alright . . everything will be okay . . if you want a family, I can be your family . Even if you don't want me and reject me I'm fine with that . I'll still be here for you . . . "

After comforting her and watched her obediently drink the warm milk, he tucked her in for bed . She had more questions, but she yawned and he persuaded her to go to bed early . He gave her a peck on her forehead before reaching for the lamp . Right when he turned to leave, he felt something warm holding his hands .

"What's wrong?" he said gently and knelt down .

"Can you . . stay with me until . . I fall asleep? like this . . . ?" Her eyes still red and a bit swollen from crying earlier with a tired voice .

Who can I ever deny you . . . ? Of course I wouldn't mind, I would even hug you to sleep if you'd let me . . he thought to himself .

"Sure" he smiled and continued holding her hands as she closed her eyes slowly . . and drift into dreamland . . .

No matter what request right or wrong from now on, I'll try my best to compromise and give you whatever you want . . . Zhi Hei told himself as he watched her sleep soundly . It wasn't until the birds started to chirp that he realized, he forgot to leave the room after seeing her sleep so peacefully . He had been staring at her sleep for the past hours . .

*closes door*

*Dials phone*

Shen Qi: "Good Morning, master!"

Zhi Hei:"From today onwards, unless it's necessary for me to attend meetings physically, I will be working at home . Any questions, video chat call, email, fax . . or whatever other methods is fine . "

Shen Qi: " . . . uh boss . . . when will you come back to the office . . ?"

Zhi Hei: "Until I can leave her alone"

Shen Qi: THAT IS A NEVER! U WON'T LET HER BE ALONE!
