You're My Only Star

Xia Yu was in a dilemma.

She wanted to move away from Huo Yun Chen but was unable to do anything.

If she moved around carelessly, she might step on the plates and slip. Then the kitchen would turn more chaotic than it was now.

Moreover, Xia Yu realized that she could not move. A certain someone was still holding her tightly as if he had no plan to let her go.

Xia Yu looked up and opened her mouth to say something. But the moment their gazes met, the words she wanted to say had suddenly disappeared.

Her mind was going blank and Xia Yu wondered if she had become stupid.

At this time, she was in a dangerous position. Xia Yu realized that Huo Yun Chen's face was way too close to hers. She could even feel his hot breath on her skin and counted his eyelashes. If one of them made a slight movement, there was a probability that their lips would meet.

The thought send her a shiver. It was making her tense.

But... Huo Yun Chen was too good-looking that she was unable to look away.

Her heartbeat became erratic and her breathing turned heavier. Their body was too close to each other. It was as if they were plastered together.

The realization made her feel too embarrassed that she wished she could bury herself in a hole.

"Sorry." Xia Yu took the initiative to break the silence. "I was only trying to help." She glanced at the plates on the floor to explain why she had suddenly appeared in the kitchen. "I did not mean for this to happen."

Huo Yun Chen raised a brow. "Miss Xia Yu, you're injured. What makes you think that it's a good idea to carry some plates while you were walking with a crutch?"

Xia Yu bit her lips, unable to answer.

However, her little movement caught his eyes and it was igniting something deep in his heart. His throat bobbed as Huo Yun Chen did his best to suppress that awakening feeling.

No one knew just how long they have been staying that way. When Xia Yu snapped out of her trance again, she found herself carried in Huo Yun Chen's arms.

Her arm instinctively wrapped around his neck to look for support. Xia Yu lowered her gaze and buried her face into the man's chest as he carried her away from the kitchen.

For the first time, she realized that his chest was quite large.

This sudden thought surprised her. Xia Yu inwardly scold herself for letting her mind wander.

They finally reached the living area. Xia Yu held her breath as Huo Yun Chen lowered her to sit on the sofa. Her bottom touched the soft mattress but the man did not release his arms around her body.

Xia Yu was still wondering what was going on when she realized that it was her who was still holding on to his neck tightly.

Slowly, Xia Yu released her arms and brought her hands closer to her chest. She clenched the front of her shirt tightly, hoping that it will help her to calm her nerves.

"You... you can let me go now."

"Hmm..." However, Huo Yun Chen did not make any move to let her go.

Huo Yun Chen stared at the girl's flushed cheek for a long time.

Xia Yu was always reserved and had a serious look on her face in front of him. Now that he was witnessing her shy look, Huo Yun Chen thought that he should take the opportunity to watch her a little bit longer. Xia Yu was adorable like this.

His gaze finally fell on her lips. Suddenly, he was reminded of the time Xia Yu had taken the initiative to kiss him. The last time, he was too surprised to figure out what was happening. And now, he wondered just how her lips would taste like.

"Huo Yun Chen?" Xia Yu's voice trembled. It was as if she was silently pleading with him to let her go.

Seeing the look on her face, Huo Yun Chen took a deep breath and let her go.

Even though he wanted to kiss her, Huo Yun Chen realized that he should not be taking advantage of a defenseless girl.

Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and took a deep breath. They were no longer as close but she could still smell his scent all over her. Her cheek started to blush again.

"Just stay here for a while. I'll go and clean up the kitchen," Huo Yun Chen said as he stood up.

"Oh." Xia Yu nodded. If Lin You returned to this apartment and see her messy kitchen, she would be furious, right.

The moment Huo Yun Chen turned around, Xia Yu finally could let her guard down. However, before she could relax, Huo Yun Chen turned to look at her again, startling her.

"Stay there." Huo Yun Chen reminded her. "Don't go away."

"Un. I know." Even if she wanted to return to her room and lock herself in it, Xia Yu realized that she couldn't move around. Her crutches were left in the kitchen.

Xia Yu sat on the sofa, watching Huo Yun Chen going back and forth from the kitchen to the dining area to clean up. Her phone was away and there was nothing she could do other than wait for him.

After almost half an hour of cleaning up, Huo Yun Chen finally came out of the kitchen.

Xia Yu looked at the water stain on his shirt and suppressed the urge to laugh.

If his fans saw him like this, how would they react?

The smile on her face quickly disappeared when Xia Yu realized that Huo Yun Chen was watching her.

She tugged at the hem of her shirt anxiously and asked, "Are you done with cleaning up?"

"Mhm..." Huo Yun Chen walked over to the sofa as he was drying his hand with a towel.

"Then, can you help me to get my crutches in the kitchen? I can't move around like this."

Huo Yun Chen sat down beside her and looked at her with a serious look on his face. "Let's wait. Xia Yu, I have an important matter to say to you."

Her heartbeat accelerated upon hearing his words.
