Fierce Passion (A Lu Xun × Zhu Ran Fanfic)

After Yiling

- Zhu Ran's P.O.V -

Lu Xun came towards me, and my cheeks felt hot. I was obviously blushing. He was also, which was weird, but reassuring. I think he liked me too... no... how could someone like a hot-headed person like me? Lu Xun awkwardly said, "Good work today-- that cut on the side of your head!" What was he talking about? I didn't have a cut on my-- there was a cut on the side of my head. It must've been Yueying. She took a swing at my head but I didn't know she cut me. Lu Xun ran to the Main Camp, and came back with bandages. "Hold still." He bandaged my head, he so was focused on making me feel better. He didn't even look away from my head. He just bandaged it. After that, he kissed me on my forehead. I started at him, stunned. Lu Xun looked like he had just seen a ghost. He was astonished. He was embarrassed. I smiled, to make him feel better. It sure made me feel better. He seemed to have calmed down. I wonder what he had been thinking...

- Lu Xun's P.O.V -

WHAT WAS THAT, LU XUN?! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND KISS HIS FOREHEAD LIKE A WEIRDO?! He thinks I'm weird. He doesn't like me. He'll never want to talk to me agai-- wait. He's smiling. He... liked that I kissed him on the forehead? I would call him weird, but that would make me a mega-hypocrite, because I enjoyed it as well. We just stared at each other, smiling like idiots. I broke the silence, and said, "Sorry about that..." I felt bad about what I did, until he kissed me on my forehead as well. He looked to see if I thought it was weird, even though I just did the same thing to him a minute ago. Zhu Ran quietly said, "I'm sorry about that too, then." We stared at each other again, until I heard my voice. I didn't realize what I was saying, I just kept staring at him, until he said, "Your heart burns for me?" I facepalmed. I was completely embarrassed. And he saw that.

He looked completely embarrassed. I blushed like an idiot. I didn't want to seem rude when I repeated what he said. My heart burned for him as well. Maybe I should tell him? Out of nowhere, I told him. Why, you ask? Ask my sub-conscience. Lu Xun smiled. "Well, that's great." I smiled at him. "Well, I'll have to leave, to get ready for the celebration," I said. Master Lu Meng had mentioned a celebration to me before the battle. I walked away.
