CHAPTER 210
All through their drive back home, Andromeda kept her lips sealed, ignoring the speed he drove at.
There were several thoughts running through her mind at an alarming speed at this point.
One, she was shocked at the length he was willing to let his jealousness go but when her mind brought back the memories she had with Wu Bai on the night of Star Apparel's fashion show, she knew he had always been like that when it came to her.
Whether it was for a friendly kiss or one coming from a scumbag, Liu Xueyi was extra protective.
He valued her and back then she may not have known why but now, at the very least, she does.
Regardless, letting his anger pour out wasn't always good.
Just now, she had felt so scared by his reaction even though she knew he did it for her.
Sitting down with her eyes firmly glued to the road, Andromeda crossed her arms in front of her chest and waited for him to take her home.
Unlike the last time when he got angry and took her away and they arrived at her house, this time she was much more shocked when he drove past, taking the opposite direction leading away from her house.
Her lips parted to question his move but instead of airing out her views, Andromeda closed her mouth and relaxed back in her seat.
*****
~A couple of minutes later they arrived at his house~
BANG!
Liu Xueyi pushed the door open without uttering one word and stormed his way into his living room.
Ignoring his outburst, Andromeda stepped in as well only coming to a stop not so far from the door, while keeping her annoyed gaze on him.
Seconds flew by, turning to minutes, but Liu Xueyi did not say one word to her.
This action succeeded in earning a narrowed gaze from Andromeda who wondered what must be going on in his mind.
All of a sudden, Andromeda saw him turn to face her with anger laced in those dark onyx eyes of his.
Not thinking about his next choice of words, he lashed out. "Until how long would you intentionally drive me mad, Andromeda?"
"What?"
"Yes," he spat his words harshly.
Andromeda tilted her head back at his affirmation. She was shocked he would have the guts to accuse her when she did not know the wrong, she had done to deserve this.
"Yes?" Andromeda scoffed at him. "Liu Xueyi yes?"
"Why would you let another guy get so close to you, to touch and even try to kiss you outside?"
"Do you think I wanted him to kiss me?" Andromeda retorted.
"Sun Yichen said he had a surprise and I innocently closed my eyes as per his instructions. How was I to know he wanted to kiss me?"
"The Sun's are dangerous. Nothing good comes out of them. And what about this morning when you were chumming with another guy? Or this afternoon when you met Xie tian, the guy you kissed?"
Andromeda's eyes widened a bit but as quickly as they did, she narrowed them to him. "Where is all this coming from?"
"From the fact that I do not like it when other guys are close to you and you simply indulge them."
"I," Andromeda pointed her index finger at her chest as she asked. "Indulge them?"
"Yes, you do."
"Wait, are you trying to say I can't have any male friends?"
"I did not say that but those whom you have always have a way of chumming you and I do not like it. It is making me… argh!"
Taking in a deep breath, Andromeda took a step forward in his direction and continued till she was a few feet away and stopped.
"Liu Xueyi, do you want me to wear a sign stating stay away? Should there be a warning sign on my back anywhere I go?"
She blinked at him when she saw his clenched fist relax and he brought his gaze back to her. "Yes."
0_0
"What?"
"Yes."
"I might as well just add, Liu Xueyi's girlfriend."
His lips pulled to the side as a smile of joy and satisfaction lit up his eager face. "You should add that too. It isn't such a bad idea. It would ensure they stay away."
Suddenly a burst of unnerving laughter tore through Andromeda's lips as she let herself go.
"I can't talk to guys anymore and you need me to wear a warning sign or t-shirt with your name imprinted so they can stay away. This is hilarious, hahaha…"
To her, she could not believe the extent to which his possessiveness could get to.
"We are not dating, Xueyi. I can see any friend I wish to," Andromeda reminded him in between laughs.
However, while Andromeda laughed his suggestion away, she failed to notice the change in his expression and the drop in the air around her.
It was not until her laughter died down and she let her mocking gaze land on him that she knew the situation had changed.
"Xueyi…" Andromeda's voice called out softly.
She stretched forth her trembling hands out to him but before she could say or do anything, Liu Xueyi snapped his head up letting his eyes settle on her.
"Andy… It is a laughing matter, huh?"
"Xueyi, wait."
"Wait?" He scoffed but immediately all smiles drained from his face.
"Wait? Andromeda, do you know exactly how crazy I get when I see guys with you? I get jealous and this isn't me."
Her eyes softened when he said that but she knew he wasn't finished. There was so much he wished to tell her.
"And when you say words like you and I are not…" he paused, swallowing hard as his Adam's apple bobbled up and down before he voiced the words that hurt him so much.
"That we are not dating. Andromeda, it hurts. It hurts so much. I do not know how to say this but it hurts."
"Liu Xueyi, I only said the truth."
"Truth be damned!" Liu Xueyi lashed out, throwing his hands in the air and letting them fall down.
"I have you here. I have you close each time but because of those words, I always have to respect myself."
"I am sorry but you were the one who said those things."
"Because I was scared. I didn't…" he took another brief pause then resumed.
"I was scared of losing you after you found out the truth, so I hid."
"Hid yourself?"
"Yes. My wants and needs."
She blinked, trying her best to not see this the way he portrayed it. However, for Liu Xueyi who had come this far, he did not care anymore.
"Andy, I want you. To kiss you, shower your body with kisses and caresses. My hormones are raging especially when I have you close, but I have to control myself."
Her gaze faltered, falling from his as she tried to look anywhere but his face.
She understood his feeling all too well because even she felt the same way.
"I have to pretend each time I am near you but the torture is much, Andromeda."
"Why? Why do you want to do that when you do not…?" Saying those words that he did not love her was hard for her.
She did not want to feel he did all he did just as a way to take responsibility. "You can't just want to…"
"Because I love you, Andromeda."
