Afraid of hurting her

Yu Chen did not know how much time had passed when her phone suddenly buzzed. She looked up, her face strained with tears, and was very surprised to see a message from Si Xia.

She opened it and it read, 'Open the door?'

Yu Chen could not understand this message and stared at it in confusion. Suddenly, another one popped up, 'Come on. I'm outside your apartment. Open up the door.'

This time it was not confusion but surprise that kept Chen from answering.

She stared at her phone, like it had just performed some miracle.

Yu Chen was still in a trance when her mobile started ringing. She picked it up and Si Xia's worried voice came from the other end, "Are you okay?"

Yu Chen nodded. Then realised he couldn't see her, and said, "Yeah."

Chen thought she heard the sound like breath being let out. He said, "Come on. Open up the door. I'll freeze here standing in front of your apartment door."

Chen was still in a daze as she said, "I'm up on the roof."

Yu Chen was still in a daze when she heard Xia's nagging voice, "You're up on the roof in this cold weather? What do you think you're doing? You're going to catch a cold. I hope that you at least...."

But Yu Chen never heard the end of that sentence.

Si Xia had apparently walked on the roof and had seen Yu Chen sitting there in a daze, her face strained with tears.

Yu Chen turned her head and her green eyes found Xia's deep black ones.

Si Xia slowly walked over and squatted down in front of her. He cupped her cold face in his warm hands and asked, "What's wrong?"

It was then that Yu Chen realised that tears were still there on her face. She tried to hurriedly wipe them away, but Xia caught her hands.

"What's wrong?" He asked again.

Yu Chen shook her head and let out a smile, "Nothing."

Si Xia still looked worried, Yu Chen pecked his cheek and said, "Sit down."

He did as told. Xia sat down and pulled Chen onto his lap, her back to his chest.

Yu Chen felt Xia's warmth and a smile formed on her lips.

Si Xia voice came, it was still very worried, "Chen?"

"Hmm?" Yu Chen replied.

Si Xia: "Could you look at me for a minute?"

Yu Chen turned her face ninety degrees and her lips were caught in a deep kiss by Si Xia.

This kiss was much too different from their previous ones.

Though Si Xia had always been gentle with her, the kisses were somewhat passionate and demanding, taking her breath away.

But this kiss felt too gentle, almost only a brush on her lips. It seemed like Yu Chen was a doll made of mud and Si Xia was afraid of hurting or breaking her.

But it did the trick. Yu Chen was smiling when Si Xia broke the kiss and she giggled as she felt ticklish when he licked away all her tears.

After he was done, Si Xia fondled Yu Chen's face and hugged her from behind again. He asked in a soothing voice, "Want to tell me what happened? It's okay if you don't."
