Forbidden Love [Jiaqi x Xueer]

16

"Xueer, why are you so late today?" As the redheaded entered her home with a fatigued expression, her mother immediately wasted no time asking thousand of questions. She was already so tired that she didn't have the energy to reply her. Ignoring her mother, Xueer went headed straight to her room and locked it.

She didn't care of the consequences she would face tomorrow after shutting her mother out, she was too used to this. Whenever she returned back home late by a few minutes from her curfew, her parents would start scolding her or questioning. This time it was because she stayed back to discuss with Jiaqi on their project but even though she did nothing wrong, she didn't feel like explaining herself.

"Kong Xueer, open up this door right this instant. Why did you come home at such a late time, it's already two hours past your curfew." As her mom banged the door harshly, Xueer sighed and stripped out of her clothes before turning on the water, hoping the sound of water splashing against the floor would mute her mom's voice.

She believed she had the best parents since young. They were extremely kind, gentle and understanding, what every friend of Xueer's wishes their parents had. Until the age of 13, Xueer was starting to fall out of that sweet fantasy of her parents being her guardian angel. Overhearing a conversation she wished she had never heard of, the redheaded felt her world crashing.

"Is the deal set? Did he agree in buying Xueer over?" The exact words from her mother's mouth still haunted her till today. She couldn't believe her parents had only treated her like this because they wanted to sell her.

13 year old Xueer stood by the wall, seeing her father shake his head while replying her mom, "Unfortunately no. Let's just give up on this, Xueer might be useless but we can force her to study and work really hard so she can be a world class doctor when she grows up. Then, we can steal all her money and leave her broken."

The sweet and kind image of her parents were instantly wiped out of her mind and replaced with horrifying monsters. She hated them with all her guts and was so tempted to reveal herself to them but controlled herself. In fact, even until now her parents had no clue she knew about their nasty side. That's why her parents were extremely strict with her.

After showering, she stepped out of the warm shower cubicle and cleaned herself dry with her mind suddenly drifting back to what had happened just now. It was still weird to her that Yuyan appeared out of nowhere and interrupted them by kissing and hugging Jiaqi back.

Xueer could feel the blood in her body warm up as the sight of them kissing appeared in her mind, making the redheaded remind herself that it was good Yuyan interrupted or her and Jiaqi could've kissed.

That night, Xueer felt extremely chilly and creeped out, as if someone was lying right next to her. The inviting scent of Jiaqi wafted in her nose as she whispered in the redheaded's ears, "Xueer...do you really want this?" She was paralyzed as she stared into those dreamy luminous midnight eyes. Nodding her head, Xueer's gaze then flitted down to Jiaqi's glossy blood red lips.

"You asked for it...now you're gonna need to endure the pain." With a devilish and seductive smirk, Jiaqi leaned in closer as a set of fangs started extracting from her gums. Xueer's eyes widened with horror and a tinge of excitement. Before she could speak, Jiaqi hungrily neared her and bit right into her neck, her fangs piercing right through her skin and flesh.

Letting out a scream, Xueer's eyes closed shut in pain as her hand reached out to Jiaqi's messy bed hair, only to be faced with a pillow. Panting heavily as beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead, Xueer jolted up from bed. She couldn't believe she had such a thrilling yet horrifying dream of Jiaqi.

"Shit...why did I even have such a dream? And why did it feel so frighteningly real?" Muttering in a raspy voice, Xueer reached for her phone and checked the time which was 2 hours past midnight. She sighed and stared at the moonlit ceiling before slowly drifting back to sleep with a mind occupied with Jiaqi.

When morning arrived, Xueer half heartedly woke up before switching on her phone. There were several messages from her friends and Yuxin herself, however her focus was only on one text, which was from the one and only weirdo of the school, Xu Jiaqi.

"Wanna hang over at my place today to discuss about our project? You don't have to though, was just suggesting." Reading the texts out in a hoarse voice, a smile immediately appeared on Xueer's face as she typed back a respond as quickly as possible, of course with it being a yes.
