When Yu Sha heard "share the same bed," it alerted her danger siren, which instantly made her change mind. She pushed Hue Chi aside and stepped up about to blurt out that they will keep walking, but Hue Chi already felt her movement and again covered her eyes and mouth with his big hand."Children shouldn"t look at grown men showering." He said unhappily.
Irritated being blocked the second time, she yanked his hands off her face. "What is wrong with you?!"
Seeing Hue Chi so protective of Yu Sha"s virgin eyes, the man laughed and grabbed a towel to cover himself up and chuckled, "Ha ha... My name is Jul, come inside." He led Yu Sha and Hue Chi inside his home.
Inside the house was another man prepping dinner. He was a little shorter with a long braided ponytail hairs. He looked shock but quickly gained his composure. "Jul, I didn"t know you invited people over?"
"Ha ha.. Their car broke down a few miles down the road and help services won"t come till tomorrow. They"re stranded and tumbled upon our place so I let them spend the night here."
"Oh in that case, I"ll need to add a little more portion to the dishes I"m making."
Jul turned to Hue Chi and Yu Sha, "This is my roommate, Ark."
"h.e.l.lo, thanks for letting us stay in tonight." Hue Chi greeted, acting courteous like how a guest would be.
Yu Sha looked around the house and feeling curious, "Jul and Ark, this place is kind of secluded, you two live here alone?"
"Yes," Jul replied respectfully.
"How far is the nearest town?" She asked.
"About two hours, although there are remote houses in this area as well."
"Hmm.. It must be lonely here." She commented.
"You get used to the quiet life after a while. You don"t like it?" Jul asked with curious.
Yu Sha smacked her lips and replied proudly, "Well, I"m a city girl through and through, although I do have my moments of wanting the peaceful and solitary life."
"Ha ha ha. What is a city girl doing here?" Jul asked.
The question implicates her, she herself was not sure either. Yu Sha gave a blank stare and then Hue Chi interrupted, "We"re here for work, doing errand run."
His reply was enough information for people and hard for anyone to ask further. If the person giving the answer does not want to go into details, the other person can"t probe for more information as the statement alone was enough and a mere stranger have no right to pry for details related to someone"s work. It"s called respect of the other person"s privacy and work confidential.
That night, Yu Sha and Hue Chi had dinner with Jul and Ark. Jul prepared the empty room for them. He was considerate enough to prepare a mat on the floor for Hue Chi while leaving the bed for Yu Sha or that"s what he intended.
Hue Chi stood glaring at the mat on the floor. He has never slept on the ground before and is not sure how he feels about sleeping on the floor.
Yu Sha looked at Hue Chi"s complicated expression, she arrogantly commented, "If you want me to sleep on the floor, you better tell me what"s up." She had a hunch that these two people are related to whatever they"ve been traveling all day for. So, she held herself back the entire time until she can confirm with him. Although she"s nosy and irritable at time, she knows when to hold herself back and when to get her way.
Hue Chi looked at Yu Sha who has been dying for an answer from him and so he opted to sleep on the floor to provoke her more. He bends down and sat right on the mat to indicate he"s not going to tell her.
She frowned seeing that he chose the floor. "Tsch... Freakin boulder." She thought she could use the comfy of the bed to bribe him for information but he"s so unmoved.
"Go to bed." Hue Chi suggested.
"You better stay on the floor all night!" Yu Sha ordered and plopped on the bed, covering all of herself up with the blanket.
Hue Chi lean against the wall instead of laying on the floor.
Yu Sha tossed and turned around to glimpse at Hue Chi in the dark. In the dark blurry vision, she can make out that he was not laying on the mat, she asked, "You never slept on the floor?"
"If you keep talking, I will join you in bed." Hue Chi threatened.
Discerning that he might be serious with his tone, she obediently complied, shut her mouth instantly although there are a lot of things she wanted to ask, she decided to be quiet.
Past midnight, while everyone was deep a sleep, someone emerged through the wall Hue Chi was leaning against and land a kick on Hue Chi. He felt the presence and blocked the kick. He returned the favor with a swing and punch at the man forcing the man to fly back towards the window to which he dematerialized out through the close solid window. Hue Chi cracked the window opened and chased after while Yu Sha was still sound asleep.
The wall where the bed is, a man materialized through the wall, reaching his hand down to Yu Sha.
"I didn"t know people like to visit her while she"s sleeping?" Hue Chi commented sitting on the window.
The man looked surprised, to what he knows, Hue Chi was supposed to be distracted following after his companion. Hue Chi looked at the man who had no trace of mortals in him, beautiful glowy pale skin, black luscious hairs and ruby eyes.
Hue Chi sealed his presence making it hard for others to detect him in an attempt to see if he can lure out the enemy but the downfall is that he can"t detect others when he sealed his presence. "Who are you?"
The immortal looking man paused and looked over before grinning confidently, "She"s my Little Bird. She will come find me soon." With that he disappeared.
