Chapter 39 - The world owned him the first love
Author’s POV
After finishing all his work, Ling Xiao reached Xia Na's home in search of her. It was almost midnight when he pressed the doorbell rapidly.
Despite this, Xia Na didn't open the door for him.
He looked at the time on his watch and started banging on the door.
"Xia Na, I know you're inside, right? Please, don't scare me and open the door."
The sound of banging on the door awakened everyone in the building as everyone turned the lights on.
"Who is shouting in the night?" A lady yelled at him as he quickly bowed to her. "I apologize, Ma'am. My girlfriend is not opening the door for me."
"If you can't sleep, don't disturb others."
"My bad! My bad!" He kept bowing down his head and apologized to everyone when the opposite door opened and the light beamed at his face.
"Ling Xiao? What are you doing here?"
Shifting his gaze, he stared at the person back. "Xia Na?"
He turned his head around and checked the number on the door. "Wait, when did you change your place? I remember your house number was 04."
"I didn't change. It's still my house number. I came to my neighbor as he is sick."
Hearing this, he looked at her with stern eyes. "At midnight? Is your neighbor almost dying?"
"Yah! Don't say that. My mom told me to take care of him."
"Your mom?" He scoffed with his brows raised. "Is he your fiancé? Why would your mom ask?"
She was about to reply to him when someone called her from behind.
"Xia, is everything alright there?"
The voice was of a male that made Ling Xiao's ears perked up.
With his eyes wide, he stared at her. "Don't tell me it's true."
Her pinched lips curled up as she rolled her eyes. "You think too much, Ling Xiao. So noisy. Wen Reng is my cousin and not my fiancé."
"Wait! WEN RENG?"
.............................................
Ling Xiao sat quietly in one place, glancing at them.
Xia Na filled a glass with water and handed it to Wen Reng. "Take this pill. Your fever will be gone by tomorrow. I have to go for now. Call me if you need anything."
He took the pill and drank water from above. "Thanks, Xia. I bothered you in the night. Sorry for that."
"You're my CoSiUn, Wen Reng. It's all alright." She the word “Cousin” loud enough for Ling Xiao to understand.
Passing a slight smile at her, Wen Reng looked at Ling Xiao as he was boiling to ashes.
"Ling Xiao, I didn't expect you here. Did you come to meet me?"
His inquest made him choked in the air as he stared at Xia Na, asking for help. However, Xia Na didn't bother to explain to him and kept packing her stuff to leave.
"I— I came to visit you. Now, you're alright, so I'm leaving. Good night, Wen Reng."
Behind Xia Na, Ling Xiao also got out of there.
.............................................
Xia Na opened the door of her place and came inside, while after her, Ling Xiao also entered inside.
Taking out her purse, she threw it on the couch when Ling Xiao held her arms and trapped her in between the wall and him.
Annoyed, she didn't bother to glance at him. Her gaze kept staring at the ground when he grabbed her chin and made her uplift her face.
"What?" she asked in a pissed voice, enough for Ling Xiao to catch the obstacle.
He tended his face close and brushed his nose against her cheeks.
"I know I was wrong. I'm sorry."
With her lips pressed together, she tried not to give him any hint of forgiveness. "So what? A sorry can fix everything?"
"How about another method? What would you like to try out? A sweet pill or a heated injection?"
Her lips automatically curved into a smirk as she muttered in her steamy voice. "The heated injection sounds good."
Staring deep down in her eyes, he picked her up while she rested her hands in the crook of his neck and crossed her legs around his waist.
Their eyes were firing at each other, spoiling each other with love.
While he wrapped her around his arms, he went to the room and threw her on the bed.
Looking at her with burning eyes, he started opening the three buttons of his shirt.
His chest was like hot milk that turned her cheeks red on their own.
Before the entire room got heated by their flame, Ling Xiao pulled the curtains and covered shutters.
Moving back to her, he sat beside her when she bit her lower lip and rubbed her leg against his arm.
The desire in her eyes turned him on as well.
Before she could do anything else, Ling Xiao grabbed both of her arms and climbed onto her.
Her head rested on the soft blanket with him on her top.
Taking her hands in his, he intertwined their fingers and tied their hands above her head.
It was going to be the happiest night of her life, which sent butterflies in her stomach.
With the help of one hand, he lovingly caressed her cheeks. As she closed her eyes, enjoying those pleasant feelings.
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up by her beauty, and his heart overflowed with love.
He couldn't resist admiring her. Her milky, soft cheeks and her pulped, heart-shaped lips made her face so perfect.
Every single detail about her made Ling Xiao feel the luckiest.
After all, Xia Na was beyond his imagination. He never thought of falling in love. Those feelings for him were like a play. Once the play ended, the characters disappeared somewhere.
However, after meeting Xia Na and falling for her changed his mindset.
He felt genuine happiness with every touch of her. He now also had someone with whom he could share the worries. With whom he could diminish the burden of life.
He now had a person to hold hands with, sharing kisses, pulling into hugs, and just crying on a shoulder.
The world now owned his first love.
With feelings of pride in his eyes, he moved his face, and his lips finally found their home.
