When Crossbow Meets Blade

Chapter 11

Wanwan's POV

I ran to the room, ignoring the calls after me. Oh my gosh..! That was so embarrassing!! Why did Zilong have to say those stuff?!!

I burst through the doors and flopped down onto my bed, face down. Shit, my face feels hot. Am having a fever? Just then, I heard footsteps coming towards me door. I immediately got up and aimed my crossbow towards the door. However, the person heading here was no other than Ling. Great,

He sarcastically put up his hands. "Woah there. You dont need to be so anxious everywhere you go. Its not like I'm gonna hurt you." He said, walking towards the bed. Which is in fact, next to mine.

I dont know why, but after what Zilong said just now.... I feel sorta... different.... Crappp....

Ling was lying down on his bed, facing up. He put an arm across his forehead, sighing and closing his eyes. Then... his eyes remained closed. Is he sleeping...?

At that moment, I seem to be observing every tiny detail of his face. That sharp jawline, those thin eyes with eyelashes that flutter when they move. His pointed nose. His smooth, bright skin. The way he breathed was so quiet. Expected of an assassin.

Not opening his eyes, he spoke, "How much longer are you gonna stare at me?" He then opened one eye and stared at me, smirking. I felt my face go hot again and turned around, covering my face with my hands.

"W-W-what do you mean?! I wasnt staring! T-There was just... a bug! Yes! A bug on your face!" Oh my gosh, I'm the worst when it comes to lying.

I heard him get up from his sleeping position. "Oh yea? How come I didnt feel it?" he asked. Is he that dumb or is he just playing with me. His voice tells me he's smirking right behind me. Whats with this guy?!?!!?

"A-Ah, it flew away... ahaha..."I said, lowering my hands from my face. Just then, I felt his breath against my right ear. oh fuck..

"Well then, missy. That bug flew onto your ear." His breath... oh my gosh... his voice was so deep, and was... different than ever...

Then, what he did next caught me off guard. He blew into my ear gently, making some loose strands of my hair sway. I'm sure I look like a blushing mess right now. I tried moving, but my body didnt allow me to... Shit,  if someone catches us..

Speak of the devil, we heard Zilong's and Baxia's voice in the doorway. "Hoho~~ are we perhaps interrupting something...?" Baxia said, smirking. Zilong was also smirking while rubbing his chin and giving us 'that' look. Sometimes I wonder whats going on in the minds of these jokers.

"N-n-n...no...!" I finally managed to say something, but not the whole word. I'm still trembling and blushing, trying to take in what just happened. Ling finally backed off and calmly said, "No. There was a tiny bug of her ear. I was observing it." Gosh, that sounds silly.

"Oh really? Because when you and Wanwan were running towards the room, we though you two were gonna-"I heard Ling's blade being thrown towards Zilong. Fortunately enough, he managed to dodge it.

I couldnt help but laugh. I dont know whats with this squad, but it feels like I have a deep connection with them...

Baxia looked outside the window. "Guys, we should head to sleep now. Silvanna told us to get up early tomorrow morning. We're going to start our plan to get Hanzo. And if we're quick enough, we might even start tomorrow."

Everyone agreed and went to change into their night clothes. Thank god they had separate changing rooms.., how I wish I wasnt the only girl here...

The walls separating the rooms were kinda thin. So that meant I could hear what was going on in the male changing room. I heard them taking out their shirts and talking. Holy fuck, an unholy thought came to my mind. Ling- without  shirt- his chest-

"Fuck, fuck fuck fuck!! Whats wrong with you?!?!?" i whispered to myself, slapping my hand on my forehead many times... I dont wanna go to sleep thinking about stuff like these..! And the thing Ling did...!

I dont know how long I was in the changing room. I heard Zilong call from the room. "Oi, Wanwan! How long you gonna spend in there?" I quickly put on the nightgown Silvanna handed to us earlier the day.

Damn, they have nice taste. Women got to wear a long white dress that reached the ankles. We also had it with long sleeves.

I folded my clothes and set them aside and headed out. Of course, the three of them were getting ready to sleep. The guys were wearing this white kimono-like thing. Like most, it didnt really cover the front chest.

I looked over at Ling. He didnt see me look though. I dont know whats with my body today, but my eyes were slowly going down to his chest...

The more I looked, the more hotter he gets... Holy shit, an 8-pack perhaps..? He finally looked my way, making me flinch and turn around. Shittttttttt my face was getting hotter again. I headed towards my bed, trying my best not to look at Ling. Great, my bed is next to his, which means... yea.

"If you wanna see more, I can show you." he said out of the blue. whAt the fUck?!?!

"What are you saying, HAHA! I-Iwasnt actually-"

I felt his hand on top of my head. He ruffled my hair a little. "Just kidding." he said, turning off the lamp next to him. With that, the room turned dark.

I sighed and flopped down onto the bed. Goodness.. this must be the closest I've been next to Ling so far... My heart rate was increasing and I could feel it hammering against my chest. Oh man, I'm gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight.
