400: I missed you

I missed you

The cool and refreshing night air embraced Jia Yuze, as he glanced outside the car window. He observed the world bathed in moonlight, as if nature itself was urging him forward. Finally, Qiao Qing's house came into his view.  0

Jia Yuze's heart pounded with anticipation as he considered the risks he was about to take. He knew it was unconventional, even audacious, but his love for Qiao Qing burned with an intensity that defied reason. 

He parked his car at some distance and then walked towards the Qiao mansion. The journey was not far, but every step felt like an eternity as he anticipated their reunion. He was consumed by a mix of excitement and nervousness, his mind replaying their phone conversation, each word laced with affection and longing.

As he approached the familiar neighborhood, Jia Yuze noticed a dim light emanating from the upstairs window of Qiao Qing's house. His heart skipped a beat, knowing that his love was likely still awake, just as restless as he was. Encouraged by the sight, he quickened his pace, his footsteps barely making a sound on the pavement.

Qiao Qing's room was on the second floor, facing the street, its window adorned with delicate curtains that she often drew aside to let the morning sun in. Without hesitation, Jia Yuze located a sturdy tree near the house, its branches extending towards the window he sought. He glanced around one last time, making sure he hadn't attracted any unwanted attention before beginning his climb. His hands gripped the rough bark as he ascended, muscles flexing with each agile movement.

Finally, Jia Yuze reached the desired height, his pulse racing with a mix of excitement and trepidation. He peered through the window, finding Qiao Qing's room bathed in a soft, warm glow. The sight of her familiar surroundings filled him with a sense of comfort and familiarity.

Summoning his courage, Jia Yuze carefully pushed the window open, wincing slightly at the faint creak it produced. With a leap of faith, he gracefully entered Qiao Qing's room, his heart racing with anticipation. As he landed softly on the floor, he took a moment to absorb his surroundings. The room was a reflection of Qiao Qing's gentle and elegant nature. 

Jia Yuze's eyes darted towards the bed, and there, amidst a sea of soft pillows and blankets, lay Qiao Qing, her eyes wide with surprise and a mixture of emotions. She got up from her bed and rubbed her eyes. She could not believe that Jia Yuze was standing in front of her. 

Unable to contain himself any longer, Jia Yuze crossed the room in a few swift strides, his arms outstretched to embrace the love of his life. As he enveloped her in his warm embrace, their hearts beat in unison, their love transcending words in the quiet intimacy of the moonlit room.

Qiao Qing's heart was beating rapidly. She reached out and pressed her hand against Jia Yuze's chest. She tried a few times and confirmed that it was him.

"It's me." Jia Yuze laughed.

Qiao Qing was in a daze, "How could you…"

Before she could finish her words, Jia Yuze had already carried her up. 

"Jia Yuze, what are you doing here?" Qiao Qing whispered, her voice a mixture of surprise and joy.

Jia Yuze hugged her and pressed Qiao Qing against the wall. Qiao Qing's feet were suspended in the air, unable to step on the ground. So she simply climbed onto him.

"I couldn't bear to be apart from you, even for a moment," Jia Yuze confessed softly, his voice filled with tenderness. "The desire to see you, to hold you, overpowered me. I had to be here, by your side."

Qiao Qing looked at the window from where Jia Yuze climbed into her room, "How did you enter from the window?"

"I climbed the tree and through its branches, I came into your room," Jia Yuze replied truthfully.

"It's so late, and it's very dangerous for you to climb the building in the dark!" Qiao Qing was scared when she thought about how Jia Yuze was climbing the tree in the dark and would miss if he was a little careless.

"I wanted to see you," Qiao Qing scolded, and Jia Yuze's aura weakened. He was like the head of a family who was being scolded for doing something wrong.

"Furthermore, back when I was training, climbing the tree at night was a basic activity. I'm already used to it." Jia Yuze explained.

The training Jia Yuze was talking about was the one which most of the heirs of influential families would take in order to attain basic survival and defence skills. Qiao Chen had also taken it so Qiao Qing knew about it.

"That was in the past. You don't have to do it now. Besides, it's been a long time since you've had such training." Qiao Qing said angrily.

Jia Yuze watched as Qiao Qing was like a wife reprimanding her insensible husband. He wanted to laugh, but under Qiao Qing's glare, he didn't dare. He could only endure it.

"I won't allow you to do such a dangerous thing anymore!" Qiao Qing pinched Jia Yuze's chest in anger.

Qiao Qing did not want to pinch Jia Yuze. So, Jia Yuze did not feel any pain. 

Jia Yuze came in the middle of the night just to see her. Qiao Qing's heart ached, but she was also touched. How could she bear to use a more strength?

"Okay," Jia Yuze replied. Then, he asked with a hoarse voice, "Did you miss me?"

Previously, when they hung up the call, Qiao Qing turned off the light.  She tried to sleep but she could not. The moment she closed her eyes, she kept on replaying what Jia Yuze had said to her.

Qiao Qing hummed and harped, wrapping herself in the blanket and rolling around on the bed. She really could not fall asleep.

Since she could not fall asleep, she decided not to sleep. She took out her phone and decided to watch some dramas to distract herself. Or else, at every moment, Jia Yuze's voice would spring up in her mind. It was uncontrollable.

She found the drama that she had been following. Quite a few episodes had been updated. It was just that she watched slowly and could only watch when she had the time, so she did not manage to catch up to the latest episode at all.

In the end, Qiao Qing realized that she actually was not paying attention to the drama. She stared at the screen in a daze for one and a half episodes, yet she actually did not get what they were acting about.

She turned off the drama in frustration. She opened WeChat and just stared at Jia Yuze's name in a daze. She wondered if he was asleep now. If he was resting well, and could fall asleep, how unfair would that be?

As she thought about that, she saw Jia Yuze sprang inside the room. And because she was thinking about him, she was not sure if he was real or just her imagination.

Qiao Qing's eyes glistened with tears of joy, her fingers delicately tracing the contours of Jia Yuze's face. "I missed you too," she murmured.

The hand that was originally pinching his chest was also placed on his shoulder. Jia Yuze did not carry her for long either. He took big strides towards the bed and crashed onto it together with her.

Qiao Qing clutched the shirt on his shoulders nervously. Jia Yuze then lowered his head and kissed her lips. He did not expect that he would miss her so much.

Jia Yuze grabbed her waist with both hands, neither too heavy nor too light. Her waist was thin, and his fingertips were just enough to hold her waist. 

Qiao Qing's waist was particularly obvious, and she was only wearing thin cotton pajamas. Although it was a two-piece pajama with long sleeves and long pants, Jia Yuze could feel it with just a touch because of the thin cotton.

Through the fabric, Qiao Qing could feel the burning of Jia Yuze's palm and the warmth of his fingertips. His fingertips only scratched her waist lightly, but Qiao Qing was so soft that she could not muster any strength. She weakly placed her small face on Jia Yuze's shoulder.

"It's getting late," Qiao Qing said softly.

"Do you want me to leave?" Jia Yuze asked in a low voice.

As he spoke, his lips were accompanied by hot breaths, gently rubbing against the tip of her ear.

"You still dare to speak!" Qiao Qing's little face was flushed red.

Jia Yuze knew that she was unwilling to let him go, yet he still insisted on asking.

"I just want to hear you say it," Jia Yuze's eyes were filled with a smile. He wanted to hear Qiao Qing speak.

Qiao Qing buried her face in his shoulder in embarrassment for a long while, unable to speak.
