500 You Hurt Me

After seeing Ying having two bowls of beef noodles, Han Bohai was certain that it was time to leave. But he was wrong. But did he mention that this was the first time he was more than glad to be wrong about something?

If she was willing to stay with him, he'd gladly forget that he had a schedule for early morning as well. And he couldn't run from everything with the excuse of having a headache. Although the excuse was convenient, it'd really become a real headache if the media got the whiff of it.

"Wait here!" Ying said to him as she brought him out of the place they dined at and ran away.

For a moment he'd assume that she was gonna ditch him here but her car was still in his sight so, he knew she wouldn't be able to run away even if she wanted to. But then where did she go?

He walked over to her car and leaned against it as he looked around. As his feet stepped on the rocky path, it made a crunch sound occasionally which he could hear in this silence of the night. It truly looked like she brought him far away from the boisterous city life.

It was really calming here.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him and turned to look. There she stood with her cheeks and nose red from running in this cold autumn wind. Yet, she extended her hand towards him and when he looked at what she was offering him, he frowned.

"Ice cream? Really?"

Ying shoved the ice cream in his hand and shrugged nonchalantly, "In this season, ice cream is the best."

"But you just had a piping hot bowl of noodles. Wouldn't it make you sick?" That was actually what he worried about. Having this hot and cold combination wasn't good for her health. historical

Ying hopped on the car to sit down and said, "I rarely get sick though. But I can understand your worry. You don't have to eat it. I won't mind it." Of course, she rarely got sick because mostly, she'd just get injured and that didn't count as being sick. At least, not to her.

He also jumped on the roof of the car to sit beside her as he mumbled, "How can I refuse to eat this? You gave it to me after all." He took a bite before adding, "But where did you get it from? I don't see any shop here?"

Ying quirked her brow at him. "There is a convenience store over there." She pointed in a direction in which his eyes followed while nodding his head. "We are just out of the city, not of the planet. It's not like there are only two of us here."

"I didn't say we're on another planet," he grumbled. "Although I won't mind if there are really only two of us." He grinned at her. "Even on another planet."

Ying looked at his expressions but decided to stay quiet. Although she didn't have many friends, she was often found in the rowdiest places. It was just a habit that she didn't like staying alone for a long time. It might have something to do with how her parents mostly didn't stay at home. So, she despised loneliness at some level.

But she still loved these serene places. There weren't many people around since it was already nighttime and people in these small towns tend to sleep early. Besides, the residential area of this small town was further ahead.

A gush of cold breeze made them both shiver especially because of the cold ice cream but the one to open his mouth to say something was Han Bohai. "I think-"

"Shh..." Ying, however, didn't give him an opportunity to say anything.

"You know-" He tried again.

Ying glared at him under the moonlight and he backed off.

"Stay quiet and listen..." said Ying after a moment of silence.

His brows knitted together and he closed his eyes to listen. He was also curious to know what exactly was she trying to listen to here with such concentration.

"What do you hear?" she questioned.

After listening for a while he spoke again, "I can hear the wind gusting through the branches of the trees. There is a stream nearby. Although the sound is soft, it's definitely the sound of water." Ying's curled up slightly as he went on, "Oh, I can hear the crickets as well. But I think anybody can hear that. Other than that, I don't hear anything." He opened his eyes and Ying was startled but she didn't look away. So what if she was caught staring at his face. She had no reason to be embarrassed about it.

"That's all?"

He smirked as he added, "I heard another sound... It was my favorite." She furrowed her brows and he went on, "It was the sound of your breath. Ouch!"

That remark earned him a jab at his arm with her elbow. Bloody hell! She really wasn't easy to flirt with.

He rubbed his arm saying, "How cruel!"

"Stop your act! I didn't hit that hard. But if you didn't stop with these stupid flirting of yours, I might really break this arm of yours."

In all honesty, he wasn't putting on an act. He had just recovered from an injury and this sudden hit really wasn't light. His face was contorted in pain but he still smiled at her, hiding the fact that he was hurt.

However, his expression made her suspicious. She had done this plenty of times in her life. Who knew more than herself how to smile through her pain?

She held his shoulder and tried to move it.

"OW!"

He involuntarily let out the sound that indicated that he was hurt.

"How did your shoulder got hurt?"

"Isn't it all your fault?" he retorted.

"Stop messing around and answer my question like a normal person for once. Who hurt you?" She was a bit impatient now and wasn't gonna tolerate him fooling around.

He looked into her eyes as he replied, "As I said, you did. You hurt me."
