107 Lose The Girly Blush

Getting back to their Condominium building, Xiao Zhi Ren wanted to take her to his own place but knowing there would be Yuan and even Syaoran, he decided not to do so.

Seeing him trailing behind herself, Ru turned to face him and narrowed her eyes at him. "Why are you following me?"

"I need to make sure you're okay. After that, I'll leave." Ru couldn't come up with a retort so she chose to just act indifferently.

As she was about to punch in her passcode when he heard her voice, "No peeking!" Xiao Zhi Ren chuckled at the way she was acting all mysteriously.

Nevertheless, he turned his back towards her for her convenience. To be honest, Ru wasn't being mysterious at all. She just felt that if he noticed her passcode, he would laugh at her for sure. Anyone would be; knowing that a person of her IQ actually had set her house passcode to '0000'.

But in her opinion, it was the smartest code. After all, people would always cross out the possibility of passcode being this predictable.

As the door opened, she took off her shoes and walked inside. Xiao Zhi Ren followed suit and took off his shoes and put on the spare slippers that were placed in the cabinet. He was surprised to see that she who actually liked staying barefoot actually had quite a bundle of extra slippers in her cabinet.

This was officially Xiao Zhi Ren's first visit to her house. Don't get it wrong! He had been to the door but he never got a chance to see the inside. Now, that he had finally crossed over the entryway and trudged inside the seating area, he was in awe.

The way the interior was complimenting the dark shades of black and gray, Xiao Zhi Ren didn't know what to say. Moving around, he realized that her place was more like an art gallery. Every art piece on the walls was marvelous.

"Would you like to drink something?" Ru's voice made him look back at her.

"Maybe, later. Right now, you should take a warm shower. The doctor said you could get dizzy. So, let me help-," Xiao Zhi Ren bit back his words when he realized what he was saying.

Seeing the tips of his ears getting red, Ru gave a sly smile. Inching a bit closer to him, she asked, "Want to join me in the shower, Zhi?"

Xiao Zhi Ren staggered back as if someone burnt him. "Noooo! That's not what I meant. I forgot for a second that you are a..." His words were croaked while he was flailing his arms dramatically.

"That I'm a girl?" She finally said it; the words he was avoiding all this time. Xiao Zhi Ren didn't reply giving his tacit agreement. "Zhi, if you kept on seeing me as a girl. This... Between us... It's gonna get tough."

Seeing her serious look, Xiao Zhi Ren realized the severity of her words. It seemed she really put great importance on this fact that no one knows about her gender.

Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. "Who else knows? You know... About you... Being a girl." He was awkwardly scratching his head as he voiced out.

"Only you know. And I'd like to keep it that way." Xiao Zhi Ren felt a strange feeling of happiness within. Why? He didn't know at all! But he knew that this knowing this secret meant that he was a step closer to her. He completely disregarded the fact that if it was up to her, she would like to keep her secret under wraps.

Also, she didn't tell him that there was someone else who knew of her identity but that someone wasn't here. Therefore, she said nothing about that.

"Sure. No problem with that."

"Then lose that girly blush. I'm the girl here, not the other way around." She really knew how to sweep off that grin off of anyone's face.

Xiao Zhi Ren gave a tight smile as he said, "Are you done ridiculing me? If you are then it's better to go take a shower. We have some things to get even about."

Now, that he said it, Ru noticed the bandage on his arm making her feel guilty. She remembered being the one who slit his arm.

She turned on her heels and left a few words lingering in the air, "Raven, keep our guest company."

Xiao Zhi Ren had yet to lock his brows in confusion when a voice echoed, "With pleasure, young master!"
