Dear Young Master, Spare Me Please?

when liu zijian and han meixiu left, their hands were also clasped together earning an approval to the other liu members.

they walked silently and slowly side by side.

han meixiu was one step behind liu zijian and was looking at their clasped hands. it was neither tight and overbearing nor loose and unstable. it was perfectly gripped. there was a sense of comfort and security. there was also subtle warmth that traveled quietly into her heart. it's not bad.

she smiled softly in her own realization. without his powerful gaze, she could appreciate level-headedly her soon to be husband.

upon arriving in front of han meixiu's room, liu zijian used his key again as the latter forgot hers. when he was about to leave, han meixiu subconsciously grab his arm. it was just a split of second negligence before she realized what she did. she immediately released it and stuttered to say "g..oodnight…"

"mmm." he nodded and headed towards the elevator.

han meixiu didn't idle around and hastily went inside her room with a slight blush on her face. she felt embarrassed and stared at her hand. why on earth did she grab his arm? what did she want to do? she wanted him to stay for the night? no! then what? a realization came in and her eyes rounded in surprise. she wanted a goodnight kiss? didn't normal couple kiss when they were about to be separated for the day? sh**! they're not normal couple. she had to remind herself and slapped her forehead for forgetting.

she pushed back her shameless thoughts and tried to calm herself down by breathing in and out deeply for several times. after sometime she succeeded and as she looked around her room she found it, somewhat tidy?

she remembered some of her footwear were scattered near the door and there were scarves hanged on the chair but now those were actually arranged orderly. she's not really a messy person as she always scheduled a time to clean up her room, however today she was really busy.

'did he do it?' liu zijian was the only one who came inside her room, right? she asked herself as she moved closer to the bed and saw her skirt neatly folded. 'he did.' she didn't know if she would be happy or embarrassed by what happened. 'how come i'm becoming a mess?' she sighed inwardly. there were things she normally wouldn't do but now....clearly she's not in her usual self.

maybe a warm bath could make her relax. she lazily strode towards the chaotic bath room and dragged out her luggage as well as the thick quilt she left inside earlier.

liu zijian came back to his room and was surprised to see his older brother there. "you have your own room, what are you doing here?" he clearly wanted to dismiss his brother. it's not always a good thing seeing him loitering around his room.

"you're fast!" liu zilong didn't expect little zi to came back fast after sending han meixiu. the latter just looked at him as if saying 'should i be slow?'

"what i mean is, you just send sister in law to her room and left?" he wanted to probe if his theory was true. weren't they attracted to each other? in normal circumstances, he should be spending more time with her. was his brother really wanted to send han meixiu early because he was thinking she needed to rest as soon as possible? if so, then he's pretty innocent.

"mmm." he answered and loosened his tie and unfastened his sleeve button. "why are you here?" he asked again. he should give his brother a benefit of the doubt. maybe he wanted to ask about something related to their work so he sat down and prepared himself to listen.

"you didn't do anything? you didn't even say goodnight?"

"she said goodnight." why was he getting nosy again? looking at his brother who was becoming a little frustrated he was puzzled. 'why does he want to know so much about how we interact?'

'sister-in-law initiated but he didn't do anything! this is going to be a lot of work.' liu zilong told himself. "you should have given her a goodnight kiss." the second young master looked at him as if confirming if what he just said was a serious fact. "when she said goodnight, it was a clue. she wanted a kiss" he continued his speech wearing and all-knowing aura to make him more believable. his voice was well modulated to add a sense of credibility for the other person to be convinced.

'she wanted a kiss?' liu zijian was quite pleased with this 'fact'. he would remember from now on that the word 'goodnight' should be paired with a kiss. he should have known this earlier. but they were in the hall way. never mind, next time he should come inside. he already did anyway.

"don't you like it? kissing?"

"i like it." he simply answered honestly. he really liked it. it's too bad he missed the chance earlier.

"then you must remember all the situations and clues when you can do it." he said and firmly looked at his brother. he tried his best to be serious and not showed his evil thoughts. if liu zijian became aware then he wouldn't probably listened and most importantly, he would never tell him anything anymore!

"situations?' he asked sounding curious but at the same time doubtful. 'there are necessary situations? was the situation earlier today when they were in his office an example of this specific 'situations?'

liu zilong stood up, cleared his throat first and caressed his imaginary beard as if imagining he's a wise wizard in a fantasy world before he began his self-made set of rules specially prepared for his brother. he slowly moved towards liu zijian and started to enumerate the scenarios he must remember.

it wasn't long after he was kicked out of liu zijian's room. satisfied with he did, he waltz to his own room and sent a short message to his mom clearly reporting his duty.
