This Martini Smells Blood

Chapter 25 • "Are you worried about me?"

The sun has already gone down. In the apartment where Wuxie and others were hiding, it was silent through and through.

Wuxie was inside the room and Xiao Hua and Pangzi were in the living room. None speak a word but eagerly waiting for Kylin who had been escaped from the hands of the evil people.

Yanjing Has gone for hours and they knew, by now the people from the underground lab would be searching for them everywhere. So, Yanjing and Kylin should be more careful.

Wuxie on the other hand still didn't step out of the room. He was relieved to know Kylin was safe. But something else was messing his peace right now.

What is happening with you Wuxie? Why did you act like that today?

Wuxie plopped onto the bed burying his head into the pillow.

Xiao ge... Xiao ge... Like a calming mantra, Wuxie kept repeating Kylin's name.

What did you do to me Zhang Kylin? Why I am so restless when I can't see you? I wasn't this clingy to my uncle... not even with Xiao Hua. They why you? It's not like I know you for years. It's just over a month. Then why? Why?

Wuxie was determined to dig deep into his heart. He should figure out what's the real meaning of his behavior today itself.

Let's see... I was acting on an impulse with him. I agree that. From the start...

The incidents started playing in Wuxie's mind like a movie. The way he initiated the conversation, then he had to finish arranging the glasses, how he found stupid reasons to stay in Kylin's home and the breakfasts, the martini, then the night in Kylin's bed...

Wuxie... Wuxie... you really have thick skin. How the hell did you face him after that day...

Wuxie rolled over the bed. He was at the peak of embarrassment. That too thinking about the incident that had happened months before. Wuxie was too engrossed in this that he didn't see how Pangzi had run into the room.

"What are you doing?"

"HUH!?" Wuxie jumped up from the bed. "Pangzi. When did you come in?"

"You... Weren't you the one thrown tantrum to see Kylin? Now when he is here you don't want to see him?"

"Xiao ge is here!?"

"Yes. He is here. Come out now." Pangzi called him out. He was still confused with Wuxie's behavior but right now he couldn't give it much thought.

"I'm coming..." I'm coming. Huuu... Why am I getting nervous? Wuxie, get out there. Don't you want to check on him? What if he is injured? Wuxie hopped around the room to shake his nervousness off.

"Okay. Here I go."

Wuxie was holding his breath while taking each step towards the living room. First, he could see back of Yanjing's head. Then Pangzi and Xiao Hua who was sitting facing him. And at last, he saw the familiar black hood. There he is. What should I say? Should I ask him if he is okay? Or... I think I should get angry at him for jumping into the gangsters' lair.

Even though Wuxie had a whole conversation planning going in his head, when the dark eyes of Kylin met with his eyes, Wuxie was stunned. He couldn't utter anything.

Wuxie simply took the chair and sat beside Xiao Hua's couch.

The three who had to bear the wrath of Wuxie were stunned to see this.

"Why there is no reaction?" Pangzi mouthed looking at Yanjing.

"How do I know?" Yanjing replied the same way.
