Chapter 12

"Sure."replied Lin Xia

Xiao Zhan was happy yet shocked! WTF! Why did I asked Lin Xia to sleep with me? Why did she agreed so easily? It seems that Lin Xia has no idea about how the relationship works between boys and girls. He must protect her, otherwise people might take advantage of her.

Lin Xia grabbed his hands and began to walk towards his room, he still felt embarrassed! He was not used to such intimate touch with the opposite sex.

Xiao Zhan calm down she is just a kid, she wouldn't have other motives behind her actions.

Lin Xia found Xiao Zhan request adorable, it seems that Xiao Zhan was afraid of being alone, she wouldn't back away, after all she is already quite old(mentally), she has decided to treat Xiao Zhan as a kid.

The both of them did not know that neither of them were actually kids(mentally), they both assumed each other as a kid.

When they finally arrived, Lin Xia layed down on his bed and called him to do so as well. Xiao Zhan was feeling nervous, but he still followed her instructions.

"Zhan Zhan! From now on I will tell you bedtime stories! Once upon a time, there lived a mermaid filled with curiousity to the human world, she fell in love with a prince and saved him, but then they were not meant to be, since their world was apart. The mermaid really wanted to be with the prince so she made a deal with the witch to exchange her voice for feets.

The witch warned her that if the prince doesn't fall in love with her then she will turn into bubbles, the mermaid was happy that she was with her prince but then he did not love her, but loved someone else who had her voice, the mermaid was devastated, her family begged the witch to find a way for their daughter to come back to the sea.

The witch told them that she could turn back in one condition, that is if she stabs the prince with this knife. Her family told the mermaid to stab the prince, but in the end the mermaid couldn't kill him. She turned into bubbles and then disappeared."said Lin Xia

Xiao Zhan was speechless, how could that mermaid be so selfless, if it was him, he would have killed the prince's love, and try to steal his love. He wouldn't be blind by love will he?

"Zhan Zhan! But there are many endings to this story, some says that the mermaid who turned into bubbles is still roaming around the sea, while some also says that the mermaid got her happy ending, the prince's love turned out to be the witch and had tricked the prince that she had saved him with the mermaid's voice. The prince realised that she wasn't the one who saved him, it was the mermaid, so they got married and live happily ever after."said Lin Xia

Lin Xia went forward to him, and kissed him in his cheek.

It caught him off guard. He turned red as a tomato.

Lin Xia did not find her actions inappropriate, in fact she did it in reflex, she was the oldest and had to babysit her siblings in her family for years and it came to her naturally to kiss the adorable villain.

"Good night!"said Lin Xia with a sweet smile on her face

"Will you stay with me the whole night?"asked Xiao Zhan timidly

"Didn't I promise you! I will stay with you so don't worry and just fall asleep."said Lin Xia

Lin Xia did not know why she let down her guard in front of the mini villain, yet she felt the familiar atmosphere of a family. She, herself didn't realize how much of a stress she was carrying until now, all her fatigue seem to go away. She soon drifted off to sleep.

On the other hand, the mini villain was agitated by her behaviour.

Xiao Zhan tossed and turned in the bed, he observed Lin Xia, even though she has a scar on her face, she does not look scary to him.

He found her cute and for the first time acting her age.

He didn't notice when he also drifted off to sleep.

They were both sleeping peacefully by each other side, except for occasionally twist and turns.

When Xiao Zhan woke up in the morning, he felt so shameful!
