Legendary Heroes (Mobile Legends Fanfic)

Chapter 53 | Sweet Embrace

Miya felt warmth, her body leaning against someone's chest as arms wrapped around her small figure. She felt lips gently pressing against her forehead, it felt quite wonderful and made her heart skip a beat. She gradually opened her eyes to see Yun Zhao looking at her like he was about to cry. "I'm glad you're back..." Zhao said softly, tears slowly forming in his eyes.

He buried his head into Miya's neck, the lovely scent of flowers that she has made Zhao quite comfortable. "I...um...Died and came back...?" Miya said, confused and lost. She clearly remembers the spinning light wheel ripping her insides, but how did she come back? Whatever happened earlier, she still feel immensely guilty for learning that she's a half Moonlight and Night. A truth that she will never accept. "My father revived you back." Zhao said, pulling himself away to break the hug. "Your father has my eternal gratitude. Where is he? I would like to thank him for saving my soul." Miya asked, a small smile forming on her face.

She didn't want to die yet and leave Zhao all alone. Miya will hate herself if she did. But thanks to Ju-long, Miya got another chance of being alive again. "My father is asleep at the moment. He's with my mother now." Yun Zhao answered, a hint of sorrow in his voice. The calm expression on his face turning grim. Even though Zhao knows that it is impossible in hiding the truth, he tried because he didn't want to make Miya feel more guilt inside her heart. "I'm very sorry Zhao, I...I didn't mean this to happen...I guess that you hate me now." Miya said, standing up to her feet, avoiding eye contact. She placed a hand on her shoulder, gripping on to it tightly, technically clenching it. "No! It isn't your fault. Nobody saw it coming and I..." Yun Zhao stopped his sentence, standing up to his feet. He wrapped his arms around Miya to hug her again. "Never in my life will I hate you." Zhao said, his words sincere.

Miya wrapped his arms around Yun Zhao to return the hug. Still feeling the guilt weighing her heart down. "Even if my blood is a half Moonlight and Night Elf? I'm sure that you know that the entire Elf Race will hate me for being a half." Miya said, a mix of bitterness and sadness in her voice. She hung her head down, making Yun Zhao form a frown on his face in seeing her look so ashamed in herself.

He gently tipped her chin with one of his hands, making her look at him in the eyes. "Even if the whole world hates you. Remember that I will always stay by your side."   Yun Zhao said, placing his forehead against hers.

Miya's eyes widened, her jaw slightly dropping down. She felt her cheeks turn red, immediately feeling embarrassed. "T-Thanks...I'll put those wo-words inside my mind..."Miya stuttered some of her words, making herself look somewhere else instead of looking into Yun Zhao's beautiful eyes. "You're welcome." Yun Zhao said, letting a chuckle out of his lips. He found Miya's blushing face very adorable.

"There's um...something bothering me lately. I don't know if you remember because I think you were half asleep and awake?" Miya said, a hint confusion in her voice. Yun Zhao dropped his hand that was tipping Miya's chin, taking a step back away from her because he was too close. "What is it? You can tell me anything that is troubling your thoughts." Yun Zhao asked, forming a charming smile on his face.

Miya awkwardly laughed, her cheeks turning redder than before. "Well, you see...When we were at your bedroom. You fell fast asleep and suddenly sat up in front of me and then you kinda kissed me on the lips." Miya divulged rather quickly, lacing her fingers together.

Yun Zhao's eyes widened, shame instantly overtaking his mind. "A hundred apologies! I didn't mean to steal your first kiss! I thought you were my large teddy bear that I sleep with every night!" Yun Zhao said, not realizing that he said that last sentence because he feels very regretful at the moment. Miya let out a small laugh. "It's fine! And you sleep with a teddy bear every night? It must be adorable seeing a grown man sleeping with his stuff toy." Miya snickered, mocking him quite playfully. Yun Zhao's cheeks turned slightly red. His facial expression telling Miya that he is embarrassed. "It's not an ordinary stuff toy, okay! That teddy bear helps me sleep at night and it reminds me of my mother when she used to sing me a lullaby when I was younger." Yun Zhao said, a sorrowful look on his face. He clenched one of his arms using his hand.
