Without You

Chapter 11

Wang Yuan's POV

I woke up and went downstairs to get some breakfast. I made some cereal and started to eat it as I checked my phone.

Awhile later, Junkai came down.

"Wang Yuan? Xiao Li's supposed to be let out of the hospital this morning. Can you go pick her up and bring her a change of clothes?" He asked, sleepily.

"Ok. Just go back to sleep, I got this." I nodded.

"Thanks." Junkai says, giving me a smile. After I finish my cereal, I go to my room and get changed.

I go to Xiao Li's room and pick out an outfit I saw her wear the other day.

When I arrive, I go straight to her room.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Xiao Li asks, looking up.

"I'm taking you home. Here, change into this." I answer, handing her the clothes.

"Meet me at the front when you're ready to go." I add and she nods.

I go up to the front and sit on one of the waiting chairs.

"I'm done." I hear a sudden voice behind me.

I nod and we head home. When we arrive, I go to my room and change.

I take some papers out of my backpack and start to work on them.

Knock knock.

"Come in." I answer, not looking up from my homework.

"Did you ask her yet?" Qin Qin asked after shutting the door.

I sigh.

"Yea, at the hospital. But she said she'll think about it." I say, turning my attention back to my homework.

"Don't worry, Wang Yuan. She'll say yes. I'm sure of it." Qin Qin says as she gives me a reassuring smile.

I give her a small smile in return and she leaves. I sigh again.

'Maybe it was a bad time? I did ask her when she was in the hospital after all.' I thought, worriedly. 'Ughhh. What if she says no?? Maybe I'm moving too quickly.'

Knock knock.

"Come in." I say as Xiao Li walks in. She sits on my bed next to me and there's an awkward silence.

"Look, Xiao Li, I know you probably don't want to date me and-"

She cuts me off by smashing her lips into mine. I kissed back and we slowly pulled away.

"Of course I want to be your girlfriend." She says, smiling. I grinned.

"I'm gonna take you on a date tomorrow at 6." I smirk with a wink.

"Where are we going?" She asks.

"It's a surprise." I answer. She rolls her eyes and leaves my room.
