Sleep together

Ruby was prepared for Xiehan to coldly say no and walk away, so his words took her by surprise. It took a while for her to recover from her shock and when she did, she started racking her brains for the right words to use to break this kind of news. 

Unlike all the other times, he waited patiently for whatever she had to say. On one hand, he had a feeling that it really was something important, or else she wouldn't keep bugging him despite what had happened before. On the other hand, he knew that if she didn't speak up today, she would still look for him later. 

"What do you want to say?" He probed when a few minutes passed in silence. 

She took in a deep breath, then looked around briefly to ensure that no one was around. Although they were probably the only people awake at this moment, she was still not fully assured. The walls had ears. "If it's not troublesome, could we talk later? It's something… no one else should know."
