CHAPTER 123
Although she promised to call Liu Xueyi, the moment she ended the call, all she did was go back online.
Wasting no time, Andromeda went back on his channel and watched Liu Xueyi's video again, this time screen recording it to watch later, seeing as she could not download it.
The more she watched it, the more she felt a sense of protection hovering over her.
It was as though his hands were over her, silently telling her it was going to be okay even though he wasn't present with her.
Shutting her eyes briefly, her mind took her back to the days when she felt his chest pressed against her back, and then she recalled yesterday.
*Flashback*
After initiating the kiss and melting into it, Both Andromeda and Liu Xueyi took their time making out in the heat of the moment.
By the time they stopped, breathless, Liu Xueyi hugged her close to his chest, letting her rest on him.
Soon enough both of them began to dose off, having been deprived of sleep since this whole scandal began.
"Hey, come and sleep inside where you would be more comfortable," Liu Xueyi urged after some time.
However, he got no response as he saw her already in dreamland.
A soft smile plastered on his lips as he stared fondly at her sleeping form.
"Naughty girl."
Gently he sat up, holding her body close before snaking a hand underneath her knees and lifting her up.
Together they went to her room where he laid her gently on the bed.
He wasted no time and tucked her in before reaching for the blanket.
Sadly, it was far and roughly placed on the bed, making one wonder what she had been doing since she watched the video.
Wanting to properly cover her, Liu Xueyi rose to his feet about to take a step when he felt a hand hold his in place.
"Don't..." She sucked on her lips and stirred again as she went back to sleep.
He waited for some second before turning around again but found that she was holding his hand closer to her body.
Letting out a sigh at her stubborn nature, Liu Xueyi tried again.
This time when he moved, he pulled his body using more force, hoping to yank his hand away when she pulled back, causing him to lose his footing and fall down on her.
Slowly he lifted his gaze from where his head was nestled on her chest to look at her face.
There was no way she was sleeping using that amount of strength.
Surprisingly so, her eyes remained shut and her face peaceful.
"What a naughty girl," Liu Xueyi noted to her hearing.
He was sure without a doubt that she was not really sleeping.
He shifted and intentionally let his head touch her breast, feeling the softness of those twin peaks.
The very same ones he had loved sucking on that very night.
He got lost in his reverie when she stirred again and immediately pulled away, and fell to the bed beside her.
With his arms still crossed over her body, Liu Xueyi nestled closer to her back and rested his head closely beside her.
Feeling his warmth seep in close, Andromeda opened her eyes, smiling cutely to herself at being able to successfully get him in bed with her without having to ask.
Feeling his chest so close to her, she sighed, leaning in further.
Before long, both of them drifted off to sleep like a pair of lovely couples.
*Flashback Ends*
For the most part of the previous day when she woke up, it was to the sweet smell of delicious cooking Liu Xueyi made and thereafter they ate, talked, watched a film together and even played games.
It was not until late in the evening when she was feeling dizzy that Liu Xueyi took her back to bed, patting her hair softly and left the house.
All through he took care of her as he would do his girlfriend if he had one, not wanting her to suffer anything and to take her mind away from things.
A blush crept up her cheeks just having a reminiscence of the previous day in her mind.
She could not believe that out of everything, she and Liu Xueyi did indulge in sweet kisses for some minutes.
It was like their hearts knew what they wanted and their lips knew exactly how to carry it out.
It felt so right yet so… Ah!
Andromeda felt giddy all over, wishing it would continue and not just stop.
Why she acted this way, she could not pinpoint it.
They still had their work relationship. They were not dating.
Not like he asked her out or something but she loved it whenever she was with him.
It was different when she was with Wu Bai.
In Wu Bai's case, it felt like she always wanted all of these. His attention, his love and his sweet kisses and caresses.
However, whenever they made out, he would want to switch straight to the other base for sex without allowing her to feel good.
To her all he was about was sex.
And after five years, she felt he had waited long enough and was willing once they married to shower him with it.
Little did she know that the very man she felt she kept herself for, would offer her on a platter of gold to someone else while he banged another woman ceaselessly.
Her eyes shut tightly when she recalled the feelings she got that night.
As bad as her situation was, she felt this way. Hot, sweet, pleasant and wanting.
It was like what she had been missing all her life. Just like yesterday when she was with Liu Xueyi.
'Wait.' Andromeda paused in her thought.
'Am I weird suddenly loving every feeling I had with that man that night?' She sighed.
'I should be repulsed by it but why am I loving it and merging it with Liu Xueyi? Is it because he covered for me and I am thinking about him as the same man?'
She shook her head, falling right into bed and hoping to clear her thoughts.
'Do I really want and yearn for Liu Xueyi's kisses so much so I would do that? What have I turned into? A sex-crazed… No. I need to stop this.'
She coiled up on the bed into a foetal position, trying her best to scold her mind and rid it of all thoughts.
'But I really miss him. His warmth and I am afraid to admit. I love his kisses way more than all the times I kissed Wu Bai during those five years of dating.'
With her thoughts going over the place, Andromeda could not bring herself to place a call to Liu Xueyi anymore.
How was she going to sound to him?
Would he be able to sense her missing him from her voice? Would she say things to him that would give her away?
No matter how she thought about it, sigh just calling him now was out of the question even though she was thankful to him.
So instead, she spent more time thinking till she fell fast asleep again, with little or no worries bothering her mind.
