With the meal finished, Yuan Zong told Xia Yao, "Let me take you home."

Xia Yao halted in steps, slowly said, "You go home, I'll just stay here for the night."

A fleeting smirk crossed Yuan Zong's face.

Xia Yao emphasized, "I'll be sleeping here, by myself, not with you, so go home. I only want to borrow your office for a night because my mother will start firing questions were she to see me injured like this."

Yuan Zong replied expressionlessly, "Your arm is hurt, be careful when you sleep. If one blanket is not enough then there's always more in the closet. There's endless supply of hot water in the bathroom, you can use it straight away, when bathing don't forget it keep your arm above water..."

Xia Yao's facial features froze, "Then... You are..."

"What?" Yuan Zong pushed.

Xia Yao laughed embarrassingly, "Why are you being so honest today?"

"Didn't you tell me to go home?"

"Yes...I told you to go home." Xia Yao muttered under his breath, finally telling Yuan Zong, "Go then, quickly, I've got to bath as well."

Without a word, Yuan Zong left the building.

Xia Yao honestly thought the door would only stay closed for one second before Yuan Zong pushes it open the next instant, shamelessly hugging Xia Yao close, continuously saying that he was only kidding! The result? Are you kidding me?! Yuan Zong truly left, from the court towards the spinning doors, heading for his car without much of a glance.

"Effing hell!" Xia Yao stood by the window, cursing at nobody. (Xiao Yao ah, you are just the most adorable thing in the world!!!>_<)

Xia Yao darkly stood up after sitting there stiffly for ten minutes. He walked to the closet to take out a jacket, mumbling along the way, "You go, I go! Why would I be dumb to spend the night over in this gigantic place my myself! Where are your brains, Yuan Zong..."

He stomped out the door, but it opened to reveal a large figure walking directly his way. Xia Yao had no chance of withdrawing as his whole image has already been captured by Yuan Zong's eyes.

Yuan Zong stood before him, fiery oblique eyes stared at Xia Yao, totally failing to hide his amusement.

"Where do you want to go dressed like like?"

Xia Yao hotly answered, "No where, simply thought it was a bit cold...So..." His voice suddenly turned up a notch, "Why the hell did you come back? Who allows you to?"

Having said so he took off his coat, covered Yuan Zong's head with it, then used his uninjured hand to hit Yuan Zong. Xia Yao hit until he, himself, had to burst out laughing, not being able to pretend anymore.

"Stop making a fuss, careful with your arm." Yuan Zong smiled while taking off the coat and wrapping Xia Yao tightly in it. "I went out to buy a pillow."

"For what? Aren't there two pillows here?"

Yuan Zong replied, "Your arm is in plaster cast. When sleeping, you should put a pillow underneath to encourage blood circulation and avoid swellings."

"Oh."

Yuan Zong threw the pillow onto the bed, asking Xia Yao, "Have you taken a shower?"

"Nah, I won't take a shower today, it's troublesome. I can't let water pour on my arm and have to wrap it up."
