After her conversation with Zhu Jie, Ru was all about smiling like a silly person. She had spent the entire night at the top of the mountain but oddly, she didn't smoke after the phone call. What she did was even more surprising... She did star gazing!

A shocker! Well, it was for her. Because even in that complete silence, she couldn't hear the voices howling inside her mind. She felt tranquil and relaxed. It was a rare feeling for her so she appreciated it and embraced it with open arms.

The original plan of running far away from here was canceled. Now, she had to drive back to the Joyous Homes. After all, she had prepared a striking gift for Xiao Zhi Ren. He dared to be blunt and brave in front of Alev Knight but he cowered away from her!

How dare he hid his feelings from her but gave a blatant warning to another!

'Well, you are that other person.' Her conscience reminded her.

"So what? You know that I know that but he doesn't!" She retorted back stubbornly.

Seeing that she could not appear in the same attire as Alev Knight, she picked up a pair of casual chinos and t-shirt but she didn't change the blazer. On purpose! It was her weapon. And she was so going to poke Xiao Zhiren's sore spot with it. Hehe... Just thinking about it made her feel wicked!

By the time she parked at the entrance of the Condominium building, she knew it was about time for Xiao Zhiren to leave for office.

Ru took off her blue contact lens to show her green eyes hidden underneath and ruffled her hair to make them appear disheveled. She hadn't been this excited for a long time now.

As she entered, her eyes caught sight of Xiao Zhiren collecting his mails from the reception desk. She called out to him, "Yo Zhi! Good morning!" She even gave him a happy smile with a light friendly punch on his shoulder.

Xiao Zhiren's eyes darkened as he saw the blazer she wore. He remembered it very well! Ru had noticed the look in his eyes and gave a sly smile as she inwardly cheered, 'Oh, it's so working!'

Xiao Zhi Ren took a deep breath before speaking, "You look cheery."

"Well, duh! I am happy so I'll look the part as well." She answered cheekily much to his annoyance.

"I wonder what made you so happy," it took a lot of effort on his part to keep his face straight. Seeing her disheveled look gave birth to too many indecent ideas of R-rate and he desperately needed a PG-13 version from reality now.

"Oh, what should I tell you now... Last night was intense." It certainly became intense after listening to your blatant confession of love.

"Crack!"

The sound of glass cracking took her by surprise as she stared at the blood that flowed down his hand startling her. She didn't even realize it that he was clutching a glass water bottle in his hand all this while.

She saw his blood trickling down while he barely reacted to it. Now, she finally realized she was acting childish and she had never been this way before. But she was even more amazed to see that the man before him loved her beyond her imagination. Just a single sentence provoked him. How intense or immense was this love?

'You wouldn't know unless you're willing to drown in the ocean of his love.' For the first time, she wasn't annoyed at her conscience's words.

Her heart felt strange as she saw his red blood oozing out. Holding his hand in her own, she dragged him along to the elevator. Xiao Zhi Ren was surprised but he didn't say anything and let her drag him along to her apartment.

This time Ru didn't even bother hiding her passcode from him, the thought didn't even cross her mind. And as Xiao Zhi Ren saw the passcode, he was stunned. '0814? That's the date she vanished. Why would she use it if she doesn't remember me?'

Walking inside, she pushed him down on the couch and collected her first-aid kit. "You really love getting hurt." This was the third time, she was tending to his wound since the time they met. "I can't believe you are this careless."

"You were with Alev Knight?" He asked instead of answering her.

Ru lifted her eyes and looked straight into his eyes. His gaze was scorching and in a daze, she said, "We were playing video games. Lost track of time."

The way Xiao Zhi Ren's body visibly relaxed left her mind in disarray. It was like someone breathed new life into him all over again.
