I Know You (2)

Haui Li Qi woke up, rubbing her head, she couldn't remember what happened after she was lost in the rain. Looking to the edge of the bed she saw Bao Siyu holding her hand. She smiled thinking that he likely doesn't really love her the way she does. Getting up, she tried going around Bao Siyu. Then, trying to stand on her feet, she stumbled knocking the bowl of water down. Waking up Bao Siyu, he saw her on the ground. Going down to her, he felt her head as she was still sweating with a fever.

"What are you trying to do?" He asked her as she looked to him still red faced and sweating. He sighed carrying her back onto the bed laying her down. "Don't try to get up for a few days and stay in bed. I will handle the brothel." He told her only getting a nod in response. Wiping her face, he had a new bowl of water brought in.

She took the towel shaking her head. He didn't have to watch over her. "You always smile. Under that smile you try to hide your real feelings. Don't hide anything from me. I know how you are. You disappear when it's a problem with me. You cry alone to avoid letting others worry. You smile around everyone to show that you aren't hurt or affected by anything. Tell me, what did I do?" He asked her as she tried to avoid looking at him directly as she didn't want him to see how she was. "You avoiding to look at me explains it all. You avoid looking at me directly because you feel that I'll be able to see what is wrong through your eyes." He spoke holding his right hand out to her cheek turning her to look at him. Looking into her eye of brown and yellow-gold eye. She couldn't look away, but she knew he was angry. His eyes explained it as red as blood.

She looked down sadly. "I'm nothing more than a sister to you. I cannot belong in anyone's heart but as a family." She wrote onto his palm, he had then pushed her down.

Laying onto the bed, she felt her heart flutter as if it could be heard by anyone. Bao Siyu looked to her still angry with her. Both looked to each other as if it lasted for eternity. He forcibly kissed her and pinning her hands down. She didn't resist but kissed along not being able to stop her heart and feelings anymore.

Separating both looked to each other. She was a little shocked but he looked down to her seeing her face. "Do you think I think of you that way? I may have loved another once but I loved you more for who you are. You never once looked down on me, you never changed because of my looks, and you never betrayed me for your own gain, you were the first one who ever stood by me honestly." He told her. Feeling his breath on her neck.

His head was resting onto her chest although he was listening to her heart. "Your heart, it's beating loudly like everyone can hear it. It makes me feel at ease. Don't ever think that I don't take you seriously. I do take you more seriously than most women I've met. I don't want you hurt. That's why I try not to talk about you or get you involved but you want to get involved." He looked to her hoping she understood most of his words.

She felt his grip on her wrists were now loosened. He pressed his hands against the bed. Cupping his cheeks she kissed him. He kissed back, both felt passionate, their kiss made them feel so understanding to each other. They separated after as she was embarrassed with red cheeks.

"Does my Little Lotus understand?" He then mentioned as she blushed looking to him then nodded in response. "Good." He got off her grabbing the towel. Wiping her face again she still had a fever.

"You shouldn't be taking care of me. I don't want you to get sick because I'm sick." She wrote onto his palm but he smiled to her.

"I'll be okay. If I get sick then I'll have you take care of me." She felt her face heat up more as she laid onto her left side still she could see Bao Siyu. She smiled looking to him, he was smiling back looking to her. Holding the blanket close to her, she was feeling cold. He knew immediately going into the bed hugging her. "I won't do anything. Your body just needs to have a little warmth. I won't do anything until marriage." He said making she blushed. Huai Li Qi didn't think about that topic of 'marriage' when it shouldn't even involve her.

'Should it?' She thought in her head confused a bit.

Hugging him close she felt more warmer, soon falling asleep in his arms. The door opened, Weng Yan Mei gasped seeing her sister and Bao Siyu. She had quickly set the food down on the table hurrying out of the room.

"Sister! How was she!?" Kei Ren asked seeing Weng Yan Mei blushing.

"They were in the bed together." She said. Bao Siyu's brothers were smiling which they expected that. Weng Yan Mei said unsure of the situation. Kei Ren giggled covering her mouth slightly.

"Does that mean that Older Sister will marry Brother Siyu and he will be our big brother!?" Kei Ren was smiling saying it as she was excited. She was the type to go ahead and support.

Xuan Yong Zheng and Hai Xue were smiling, they were kind of expecting that from Bao Siyu and Huai Li Qi. They then heard Prince Hui Ru had arrived. All of them sighed and knew they had to get back to work. Getting things, they had to make him enjoy his time and find a source to weaken him.
