807 Chicken ou
Pulling away, Yushen kissed the top of her head. "Your brother and I had a little talk when I was outside."
"Brother Andrew came looking for you? That happens very rarely, so what did he tell you?" Resting her chin on his chest, she added, "hmm let me guess, did he tell you how rebellious I am?"
Caressing her back, he answered, "Not really but he did tell me how you left home as soon as you turned eighteen."
"He tells that to everyone, what else did he say?"
Keeping quiet for quite some time, he continued, "He told me about your parents." Tightening his grip around her, he sighed, "I am sorry, I never really asked you about your family and—"
Cutting him off, she said, "You don't have to say sorry, it's not your fault. I just don't like talking about my family, especially my parents." Snuggling closer, she added, "I was there in the car with my parents when they met with an accident, I survived but my parents didn't. After them, brother Andrew was the one who took care of me and he never really made me feel of their absence."
"You have me now, I'll never let you feel lonely."
Cupping his face, she smiled, "I know." Before pressing her lips on his.
Pulling away, Yushen took a deep breath to control his over excited hormones. "I think you should take some rest."
"Hmm, I am not that sleepy," Jennifer murmured before clutching onto his t-shirt and burying her head on his chest.
Drawing a log breath, he ran his finger through her hair and sighed, "You should seriously sleep."
Looking at him, she slowly inched closer and pressed her lips on his.
Tightening his grip around her waist, he closed his eyes and quickly pinned her down.
Pressing his forehead against hers, he muttered, "Jenni I—"
Placing her hand on his cheek, she bit his lower lip and assured him, "It's okay Yushen, I love you."

Outside Songpa and Beth's room
Tightening her grip around Huang's hand, Huiling frowned, "Will you please stop panicking? You are scaring me as well."
"I need to pee—"
Cutting him off, she snapped, "This is the fifth time you are trying to chicken out Huang, how are we going to do this if you keep running away like this?"
After learning how Guang and Qiang courageously told everyone about their relationship, Huiling also gathered every ounce of courage she had and dragged Huang to her parents room. She had made up her mind to confront everyone and tell them about their relationship but Huang on the other hand kept chickening out everytime Huiling was about to knock the door.
Cupping his face, she tried to calm him down, "Listen to me Huang, you need to understand the entire situation. We can't always keep our relationship undercover, aren't you tired of sneaking all the time? I mean, we even have to think twice before hugging each other, I am just tired and done living this way. I think it's time for us to take a major step and tell everyone about us, it's now or never."
"But you dad, he is dangerous," he murmured.
"Oh come on, you said uncle Singtan is dangerous but Qiang and Guang did just fine—"
Cutting her off, he snapped, "No, uncle songpa is more dangerous than—"
"Chen Huang, are you going in there with me or do you want me to do this alone? Because if we aren't doing this together then I am doing this alone," Huiling fumed, she couldn't understand why Huang was so scared of her dad when Songpa was the sweetest and loving person. But little did she know that her father had a darker side that she would never get a chance to discover.
"What are you doing here at this hour?" Glazing at his watch, Robbin frowned, "It's almost midnight, shouldn't the two of you be sleeping by now?"
"Dad? What are you doing here?" Huang inquired.
"I think your father asked you something first Huang," Linda sighed.
Hesitating for a while, Huang was about to chicken out again when Huiling interrupted him,"It's good that you both are here too aunt Linda, uncle Robbin because Huang was about to call you both over."
"Call us over for what?" Linda curiously inquired.
"Why don't we go inside and talk there?" Without waiting for anyone's reply, she knocked at her parent's room door and patiently waited for them to open it.
While Huiling looked quite calm, Huang was sweating and on the verge of having panic attacks.
Walking towards her son, Linda asked, "What happened Huang? You look so pale." Touching his forehead, she frowned, "You don't have a fever."
"No mom there is no fever and I am alright," Huang had no idea whether he was assuring himself or his mother.
Just then, Songpa opened the door and frowned, "Honey, what are you doing here at this hour? Is everything okay? Are you not feeling well?"
"No dad, I am alright." After assuring her father, Huiling added, "I want to talk to you and mom about something important, can I come in?"
"Of course honey, come on in," Songpa answered.
Without saying anything, Huiling gathered all her courage, grabbed Huang's and entered the room.
….
Inside the room.
"What happened? What do you both talk about?" Robbin inquired.
When both Huang and Huiling did not say anything, Songpa frowned, "Is it something serious? Did something happen?"
Looking at each other, Huiling awkwardly cleared her throat and hesitated for a while before saying, "There is something that Huang and I need to tell you all."
