Because I Cannot Hurt You

Xinyi was about to push him away when she felt a strange sensation on her left foot. She broke into a cold sweat and as she robotically looked down, she saw a severed hand grabbing her ankle.

At that moment, she felt as if her soul flew out of her body.

"Ahhhhhhh! Hand! Hand! My leg! Zhiyuan, my ankle!!!" She cried and wrapped her hands around his neck in panic. "Take it away!!!"

Zhiyuan felt the heat and softness of her chest pressing onto his. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down and a gulp passed down his throat.

Damn, I want to kiss her! Ugh…this is not the right time though, he grumbled.

"Take it away, Zhiyuan!"

Zhiyuan peeked below and couldn't help but softly laugh. "Yes, yes."

As he moved down, her breasts rubbed against his chest even more, making him freeze. He inhaled a sharp breath and shut his eyes.

"What are you doing!?" She sobbed. "Why did you stop!? The hand! Remove the hand!"

With great difficulty against the sultry sensation of her chest sending shivers inside him, he took away the dummy hand off her ankle. 

Xinyi finally sighed in relief. As Zhiyuan got up, his head bumped against her chin in the darkness. With their lips just a few centimeters apart, they couldn't tear their gazes off. Xinyi quickly looked away and tried to make some distance between them but a ghostly dead body suddenly popped out from thin air right in front of her eyes.

She gasped in terror and screamed as she hid her face in his chest. "Horrible! Horrible! When will this end?" She sobbed.

The creepy background noises just added to the adrenaline that kept pumping in her system. Zhiyuan beamed and was extremely satisfied with this position. 

"Xinyi."

Her voice quivered. "E-En? Are we outside?"

"Not yet. I have a great solution in my mind. A solution to your fear."

"What?"

"Why don't we get busy kissing until the ride ends? That way, your mind will be diverted from all the ghosts. Don't worry. I won't let you think about the ghosts at all~" he proudly grinned.

"You! How can you think of t-that when I am freaked out?"

"That is exactly why I am thinking of kissing. Who will think about ghosts and skeletons against passion?"

!!!

"S-shut up!" Her cheeks were burning red in embarrassment.

She was about to raise her head, but he quickly said, "Ah a headless man is coming your way…"

"Ahhhh!" Xinyi immediately buried her head in his chest again and almost strangled his neck as she clutched him with all her might.

Phew! If Xinyi noticed our position, she would escape in an instant.

The horror house ride came to an end and the car stopped at the exit.

The staff smiled. "Hope you enjoyed-"

The staff coughed seeing Zhiyuan and Xinyi and couldn't help but chuckle. 

Feeling that it came to a halt, Xinyi slowly peeked outside and saw the exit board. 

Finally! It ended!

She noticed the staff members giggling at her and whispering to each other, giving her weird glances. 

Why are they looking at me like that?

She lowered her head and froze. Then she blushed hard upon realizing that she was actually sitting on Zhiyuan's lap with her arms around his neck.

Her brow twitched.

When did this…

It happened when the dead body sprang up in front of her. The adrenaline spiked up so much that she jumped onto his lap without even realizing it. Trembling and shaking, she refused to raise her head again until the ride ended.

Xinyi bit her lip and felt as if she utterly lost her face. "You-you...why didn't you tell me?"

Zhiyuan pulled her waist towards him and gently squeezed it. She widened her eyes. With his fingers, he gently tucked the lock of her hair behind her ear and whispered,

"You were so passionately locked in my embrace. How could I bear to separate us?" Zhiyuan righteously said. "You were so warm and all cuddly."

She refused to admit that his words were making her heart beat faster.

The staff members burst into laughter. "So cute!"

"And you were so afraid to even open your eyes. I would have spooked you had I said anything."

"..."

Xinyi took furious breaths, realizing that he tricked her. She pushed him away and stormed out of the car.

Just then, she saw Nana and Jinhai too.

"Nana!"

"Xinyi!"

The two women found solace in each other's hugs as they narrated their horrifying experiences.

Xinyi slowly asked, "Why do your lips look so…"

Suddenly, she coughed as it struck her.

Nana's face flushed hard. Jinhai smiled. "Thanks to our making out, Nana was relatively still sane when the ride ended."

Nana glared at him in indignation. "Jinhai!"

Zhiyuan pursed his lips. "Didn't I say, Xinyi? Kissing was the best solution after all! Look, Liu Jinhai did the same thing. Why didn't you agree? See? Liu Nana's complexion looks so much better than yours. You still look so pale. Had we kissed-"

"Zh-Zhiyuan!"

She was already embarrassed seeing herself clinging on his lap and now he was talking about kissing?

Outside, Siying brightened on seeing his parents and rushed towards them. His little brows furrowed. "Mama is so red!"

Little Nuo innocently said, "Mama is red too! Our Mamas match!"

"En!" 

Xinyi and Nana covered their faces.

Jian and Nian sneered. "Did Dad jump upon Mom? Did something happen that kids shouldn't about it?"

Nian said, "It's the only possible scenario. Dad will never leave a chance of attacking Mom in a closed, dark and lonely place."

"Jian! Nian!" Nana twisted their ears hard until they begged her to let them go. "Where did you learn to say all this?"

"Blame Grandpa!"

Jun sneered. "We all know what happened. Can't you just keep your mouths shut and pretend that you saw nothing?"

The twins painfully rubbed their ears. "What…?" They whined. "We just want to know if another sibling is on his way…or her way."

Nana furiously blushed. Jinhai beamed. "Good question-"

A glare from Nana immediately made him back off.

Xinyi stammered. "I-I am a little thirsty. I will get some water…" She quickly escaped.

"I am coming too!" Nana followed her too.
