I was listening to the sound of his breath

I try to release my hand from his hand but I can't. He is holding my hand so hard, it hurts so much. I was freed from his hands by some kind of struggle. If it was any other girl in my place, she would have cried by now. I have his hand print on my hand, that part of my hand is completely red.

"Are you crazy? Tell me what's wrong with you!? Tell me why you called me in the middle of the night!"

"I'm your boss and you have to do what I tell you according to the terms of the contract."

"But that's in the middle of the night? Isn't that a bit excessive? Why would I waste my sleep to come here at night? And it's against the house rules!"

"Your house rules are none of my business. You have to obey my rules, that's my business.

After saying these words he beckoned me to follow him. I started following him.

After walking for a while he sat on a bench on the street side. I stood with disappointed eyes. I feel like I'm getting over him, I can't stand him! When I see him, my head explodes lately! Is it the end of love then? I think I don't like him as much as I did that first day. Yes, that may be true.

My legs hurt while standing. After a while I could not stand anymore and sat next to him on the bench keeping distance from him.

"Yao Xu! I'm sleepy! How can I go to school tomorrow if I don't go home now?"

He didn't say anything. He quietly took out his earphone and mobile phone from his pocket. Then he gave a damn care look as he put earphones in his ears.

I said almost impatiently, "If I don't go to school tomorrow, I can't do your job tomorrow afternoon, right? So I leave now?"

He did not speak this time. Instead, he put the earphones in his ears and closed his eyes. I gave up hope now. Once he puts the earphones in his ears, he won't listen to me again. Well, what can I do with this opportunity!? An idea came to my mind. I slowly stood up from the bench so that he wouldn't notice. Then I ran. But my luck is always bad. As always, this time I couldn't. Yao Xu looked at me with a cool expression. As soon as I ran he grabbed my arm and with a yanking tug, I fell face down on his shoulder. I slowly looked at him while hugging his neck. He is looking at me. My heartbeat became fast and I quickly got off him.

"Yao Xu! I'm leaving.....the d-door to my house is open, my parents will be suspicious if a-anyone finds out!"

Saying the words in one breath, I ran. I didn't even look back. When I came home, everything was normal. Parents are still sleeping. The main door was closed without any noise. I can see the cat lying down. It must have come in when I wasn't home. It is sleeping comfortably. I caressed it and slowly went to my room and closed the door. I entered the washroom. My heartbeat is still fast! I looked in the mirror and saw that my ears were red. Shit! Has Yao Xu seen it!?

Actually at that time...

Again and again only that scene floats in the memory. How close I was. I was listening to the sound of his breath! Well then, has he heard my heartbeat!? No! I'm thinking too much. I just had a crush on his face but his behavior is not very nice! I do not like him, hmm! Anyway, I need to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to open my eyes tomorrow morning, school is far enough!

In the morning, I woke up to my mom's scream.

"Ran Xia! Ran Xia! Are you still sleeping!? Open the door! Meng Yi has arrived. I opened my eyes with great difficulty despite my reluctance. Then I slowly went to open the door. Mom saw me when she opened the door and said, "Why are your eyes red? Did you not sleep all night?"

I wiped my eyes and said, "No, mom, I slept but the sleep is not over. I'm still sleepy."

"From now on, you will fall asleep faster! How will you be able to concentrate on studying all day with half sleep? From now on, I want to see you in bed early..." Mom went away muttering.

I haven't noticed Meng Yi for so long. Sh is looking at me with a strange face.

"What happened? What are you looking at?"

She replied almost immediately, "To you."

"So what kind of look did you make it?"

She pushed me into the room and closed the door. Then she asked with a suspicious look, "Tell me honestly, what were you doing without sleeping last night?"

"Hey, who told you I wasn't asleep!? I was asleep!"

"Well, give me your mobile."

I also pointed to my pillow without thinking. She went and checked something with my mobile phone. Suddenly I noticed that Yao Xu called me at midnight yesterday, I didn't delete the history! Shit!

Just as I was about to snatch the mobile from Meng Yi's hand, Meng Yi pulled away from me and said, "Wow Ran Xia! What were you doing on the mobile last night?"

After saying the words, she held the mobile in front of my eyes. There in the call history it is clear that Yao Xu called me last night.

"He called me but…."

"How many more excuses are you going to give me Ran Xia? I know everything, but you still pretend to me?"

"You don't know anything! You didn't come last night even though you said you would. I thought I'd tell you everything."

"I was a bit busy last night. But it's obvious now!"

"Oh It's nothing Meng Yi. Look at our call duration! It's only 36 seconds!"

Meng Yi still doesn't want to believe it. I said impatiently, "I will tell you. You just come to my house at night. I will tell you everything."
