04 - We...

"Ling er wait!!!" on the side street, QinXing is behind Ling Shen while undoing her robe 'cause it's too hot for her.

Ling Shen ran towards the main street which is crowded with people.

"Qin gege, hurry up hurry up!!"

"Alright, alright!" finally Qinxing came out to the main street. Looking confused because it's so crowded, Qinxing decided to take action. "Ling Er." Qinxing come towards Ling Shen.

"Q-Qin gege?" Ling see that Qinxing come and see her eyes to eyes. 

"We need to hold hands so we don't get separated." QinXing said with a warm smile.

"A-ah, yes… Qin gege"

"Cmon, let's see what they have."

Ling Shen's parents don't need to worry when her daughter goes with someone like QinXing. It looks like her parents trust her so much. And like her to take care of their only daughter.

QinXing saw something interesting, a hair ornament which is quite unusual, beautiful. With a pink like meihua color, with an interesting flower shape. Looks beautiful for someone in her mind right now.

"Ling er, do you want to try this?" Qin Xing talked to Ling Shen, but when she searched Ling Shen was nowhere. "Lǎobǎn, I want this one." the shopkeeper showing his palm. " 50 yuan? That was cheap."

"It's 500 yuan sir"

"....." they see each other for a while "Oh. Right. Here's the money"

Guess it was not cheap at all.

-QinXing POV-

Crap, it was expensive!

…..

But, this would absolutely look good for her.

But, now where is Ling er? I told her not to go walk alone. Sigh.

"Did you see that? Mr. Chu men are doing it again."

"Eh? They do what?"

"That! Robbing a girl!"

"Ah! It was not easy to get out of Mr. Chu's hands. He acts like he is the lord of this town even though he isn't."

"Poor girl, i hope she is okay"

…..

Mr. Zhu?

Pig??? 

"Excuse me, do you see a girl with a white robe around?"

"Ah, I think she went to that dark corner."

Damn.

"Thanks boss"

Okay Okay. Calm down. Calm Down.

I. Am. Calm.

"Help!" I heard someone's voice screaming.

I am not calm at all.

I run towards the sound.

So,

I found Ling Shen with 3 men, one touching her face, 2 holding each of her hands.

I smiled.

"Yah, You. Damn. Bastards." I smiled, walked towards them. And lay my punch towards the man who touched Lin's face.

"Gh!  Wh-Who are you!"

"Da ge!" They released Ling shen to help the man who I punched to help the man i punched.

"Ling er. Are you okay? I'm sorry."

"Q-qin gege…." Ling er was shaking, she kept hugging me while holding her tears.

" G-get him!"

I release her hug then get Ling shen behind me, while one succeeding punch me on my face.

"Ohh, nice. You dare to punch me. On my face. "

15 minutes later.

Those 3 men were on the ground, hard to breath. And a big blue mark on their face.

"Ling shen, can you shut your eyes, and then shut your ears too?"

"Okay"

I decided to do something for the man who dares to touch Ling Shen.

"You were touching her. With this filthy hand."

I raise his right arm.

"P-Please no, I beg you. Have mercy sir!"

I stare at him. And then kick his arm until it bend weirdly and he's screaming with a lot of pain.

" No. "

The other guys were unconscious already, so I don't want to pursue this anymore.

I walk towards Ling Shen who is still doing what I told her.

And then I hugged her. I turn her around and walk out to the main street.

" Qin gege?"

"It's okay now… I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner…"

I van't think of anything but feeling regret that I haven't gotten there sooner.

"Qin gege!" Ling er hands at my face, forcing me to look at her. "Qin gege, I am okay. And you are not wrong. Please Qin gege."

"Right. Right."

She smiled.

I smiled.

-End of Qin Xing POV-

They walked to the main street and saw a bridge with a lot of meihua trees there.

"Qin gege! Look! It's beautiful"

"... Yeah. beautiful. "' Qin Xing pat Ling's head and then attach the hair ornament that she just bought a while ago.

"Qin gege… this is?"

" It looks beautiful on you."  Qin Xing Smiled happily to Ling Shen.

" ~~~~~ ///^\\\ '' 

It looks like Ling Shen was so embarrassed but happy about the gift Qin Xing gave. 

Ling Shen has something in her mind now.

"Qin gege, look!"

QinXing looked beside her, and then Ling Shen kissed Qin Xing's cheeks while QinXing was looking where Ling Shen pointed.

"...."

"...."

"T-that's my return gift…"

"Oh?" Qin Xing is more bold now.

She walks towards the embarrassed Ling Shen who keeps her eyes on the ground.

"I wish it was more something though. "

Qinxing stand right in front of Ling Shen. 

And grab both of Ling Shen's hands. 

" L-Like what? "

Qinxing though it was better to do it than say it. 

"This. "

Using the robe that QinXing brought,  she used it to cover both of her and Ling Shen's face from the crowd. And then inside that robe QinXing kissed Ling Shen. 

Right on the lips. 

"....."

They look at each other. Eye to eye. But no words came out. 

"....."

And then finally Qin Xing released the robe from the top of their head. 

"I got my return gift already. It's almost night. Let's go home"

"Yeah. " 

They walk together. But,  something is different. 

Ling Shen was walking arm to arm to QinXing. 

And she doesn't mind at all. 

On that evening,  something changes between them. 

Although they know what they are feeling right now,  they want to know more and more about each other. They don't want to take it too fast. But won't take it slowly too. 

When they ate dinner together,  Ling Shen's parents were quite confused by Ling Shen's act. 

She helps QinXing to get her bowl and the rest. 

"Did something happen? "

Ling Shen becomes red and nervous 

"N-No!  Nothing! "

"It is nothing,  uncle." Qin xing added. 

Well,  FuSi was quite sure something was going on. But,  he decided to not ask about it. 

Meanwhile, 

"Aunt,  nothing is happening. "

"Oya?  I didn't say anything though. "

"Mother!  Here. Eat more meat. "

It was quite an awkward dinner. 

But,  it was quite entertaining for Ling Shen's parents. 

-After Dinner-

I kissed Ling er. 

And she must be don't know about the fact that i am a girl. 

What to do??? 

I need to tell her though!!! 

But,  what if she got mad? 

'Just tell her it doesn't count between women then' her mind talks. 

Ah,  true. What no no no. 

Sigh. 

I will just tell her right away then. 

-Ling Shen's room-

We kissed! 

On the lips! 

"Miss Ling,  are you okay?  You are being weird after I came back from town today. "

"I-i'm fine. It's nothing. Really. "

"Alright,  Miss Ling. "

-Outside Ling Shen's Manor-

"Does Longer sleep already? "

" Greets Qin shaoye,  she is still up, young master. "

" Can you tell her that I'm here to talk with her? "

"Right away,  master"

-------

"Xiaojie,  Qin shaoye is here. "

"Qin gege??  Ask him to get him. Brings tea"

"Yes,  xiaojie."

-------

The maids at Ling Shen's place are excited because their Xiaojie is happy. They knew. Even though their Xiaojie doesn't show it to them. 

It's because of Qin Young Master. 

------

At Ling Shen's room. 

There sit Qin Xing and Ling Shen. 

They drink the tea first. And then QinXing began. 

"Ling er…. There's something I need to tell you. "
