Chapter 45: Snap Out Of It

"No need… I just need to rest… Can't you join me?" Zang Fei asked, with a sultry voice. Yu Qiao is currently next to her bed as she lay down, and he is less than an arm away for her to reach.

"Zang Fei, there is really no use for me to stay here, I am not a doctor." Yu Qiao explained impatiently. He badly wants to return to school as he has a feeling that something is not right. "You also know I have other things to do." For him, if the girl is not willing to be treated professionally, it only means it is not serious.

Her face fell, eyes glared at Yu Qiao sharply that caught him off guard, "Is it Mo Lihua again? Qiao, she is old enough on her own. It is inconvenient for both of us to treat her as a child." She asked just like her previous hostile stare did not happen in the first place. Zang Fei then sat on the bed before her hands reached to touch his chest.

"Have you forgotten who your girlfriend is?" Zang Fei added, voice low and sounding seductive.

Yu Qiao stiffened because of her touch and discreetly held her hands to move away from his chest, and just held them together.

He is not dense enough to not understand what Zang Fei is trying to imply. It should work with other male and surely they will not refuse such a blatant offer, he is not part of it as he is just not interested.

Then looking at Zang Fei unhappily with a frown, "Mo Lihua is not a child." He uttered tightly.

Of all people that is beside Mo Lihua, he is more than aware that she is not a child. She grew up from the angry child to a docile girl in front of him.

He knows that he is guilty of having inappropriate thoughts regarding her. Hell, his dreams are proof of that, reminding him of his most buried desires.

'Have you forgotten who your girlfriend is?' Yu Qiao remembers Zang Fei's question, finding it funny. How can he forget? She is the main reason why he is not being stupid enough to just blurt out unnecessary things to Mo Lihua.

Zang Fei has always been his shield and as long as she exists Mo Che is confident that he will not take advantage for Mo Lihua.

He knows he is being dumb, lying to himself. For him, twist the truth in front of you, and pretending that you believe the lie, has its perks, but still worrying sometimes if there will be an instance that he cannot distinguish the truth anymore.

Regardless, Yu Qiao knows that he can always stay by her side as long as he keeps his true feeling hidden.

That is probably the reason why he did try to make the relationship work. He even reminded himself many times that Zang Fei is his girlfriend. However, it is starting to get tiring and inconvenient.

'Should I end this now?' He asked himself thoughtfully.

"You keep on saying that but you are treating her as a child! How can she get a boyfriend if you keep following her around? How can you have time for me if act like a dog chasing her?!" Zang Fei exclaimed, her face redding due to anger. "She does not need you!"

"Ah!" Zang Fei exclaimed suddenly when her hands that Yu Qiao is holding suddenly felt painful when his grip became too tight. "Yu Qiao you are hurting me!"

Yu Qiao slowly let her hands go, "Am I? Then do not talk nonsense." He stated, smiling strangely at her. His eyes showing a glint of danger that Zang Fei had never seen before.

"Qiao…" Zang Fei nervously started, but not sure how to continue. This is the first time Yu Qiao had treated her differently. She knows that he does not love her but he never ones tried to hurt her.

With still a strange smile on his face, Yu Qiao reached her head caressing it slightly making Zang Fei stiffened subconsciously.

"Be good. Do not involve Lihua to our issues. You'll never know, I may snap out of it and lose control." Yu Qiao uttered casually but threat clearly held in his tone.

Yu Qiao then slowly pushed Zang Fei back to bed, before covering her with a blanket. "Now rest," he said before living her alone…
