"It's a special place, " Wang Li Lei began, his eyes trailing at the stars surrounding the Moon. "My father was the one who made the Hotel. But a few years ago, after my uncle was appointed as the CEO, he canceled the idea. After I took his place, I built it according to my father's blueprint. "

Xiao Yun noticed his eyes growing eerie when he spoke about his uncle. She had initially noticed it since long before that he really has a sore spot when it comes to his family. It was as though he didn't keep them far but didn't want to keep them close either.

Wang Li Lei turned his eyes to her, "My father said that this land is the best place to build a Hotel with the last floor to view the night sky. He told me that it would be a place where only our family could see. So fulfilled his wish."

Although there was hardly and expression or tone to his words in Xiao Yun's eyes, his face looked a little lonely. She leaned her head slowly, letting it weigh on his shoulder. "So I'm the first one here?"

"Yes." his words making a special case for her. Wang Li Lei grew silent for a moment, his eyes grew stale as he spoke, "Xiao Yun-"

"Yes?-" She looked up, meeting his eyes and sensed a prickling sense of heat in hovering upon his pupils.

"The man that sat before you in the lobby's lounge, who is he?" Xiao Yun felt his cold hands wandering on her arm and stopped at the place where the bandaid was.

"He's Xue Xiu Yong, you met him before." Xiao Yun said, thinking that he was talking about Xue Xiu Yong.

Wang Li Lei had vented his jealousy one time on Xue Xiu Yong's father company. It wasn't a big trouble that would make him go bankrupt but it was enough for them to have trouble for a whole month until the young man learned his own mistake. Who he was mentioning wasn't the man but the other one beside Xiao Yun, a young handsome man that he had never seen before. When he passed by the Hotel, he saw Zhuang Huan Wu having his eyes on Xiao Yun for the whole time. Before Wang Li Lei acted on his feelings, they had left the place.

"Not him, the other one."

Xiao Yun thought who he was pointing at if it isn't Xue Xiu Yong then there was only one more boy beside her. "Zhuang Huan Wu, you mean?"

A furrow weaved in the middle of his brows, jealousy finding its way up to his charming face when the girl called up the name of another man. His eyes narrowed in dislike at the bandaid, softly peeling it out.

Xiao Yun felt the wince on her skin from the sense of her skin parting with the bandage's adhesive and squinted her eyes.

"Don't get too close to him." His low voice as though she was scolding her did the exact opposite of her heart.

"Are you jealous?"

Wang Li Lei heard her ask as he bent his neck to the wound and lick her wound for a moment before nibbling it. Feeling the teeth on her skin, Xiao Yun squirmed to the back in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"I'm very jealous. Very." He stretched out his hand to the back of the couch and pushed her to gaze at his fiery eyes. "You didn't see with what eyes he was looking at you. Xiao Yun, you have to be more aware of the people around you, especially the males." Xiao Yun felt shivers running down from her ears to her back. His words were too deep for her to bear, stirring something inside her heart. She then heard him talking again.

"Do you understand now? Don't show that smile to anyone."

Xiao Yun nodded with sincerity. Wang Li Lei broke into a smile and moved back to narrow his eyes at her right hand which had a large bandaid covering it. He didn't notice the bandaid before because it was a little translucent. He could still understand that perhaps Xiao Yun clumsily grazed her arm from something. But the bandaid on her hand was a lot bigger than the other one.

"What happened to your hand?"

Xiao Yun glanced down at the wound and didn't know what to say to him. Wang Li Lei didn't wait for her answer and peeled off the bandaid again and was relieved to see there was no wound on her hand. He glanced again at her seaming his brows in question as he repeated. "Xiao Yun, what happened?"

Xiao Yun took her face away from him and pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say to him, it wasn't a secret, but because of Xue Xiu Yong's words, she felt that she had done a great mistake on not discussing the matter first to him.

Wang Li Lei wanted to ask again but decided to give her some time. His hand wrapped on the back of her head and placed it again on his shoulders.

"Li Lei," she called him first, still in the middle of twining her thoughts.

"Yes?"

"Actually, in school, I was bullied. It's not 'was' though it's still now-" Xiao Yun let out an awkward laugh but Wang Li Lei didn't let it pass with only a laugh. His voice swung coldly from anger as he repeated. "Bullied?"

The girl was bullied? It had been only a month since he postponed tracking Xiao Yun's school life as he heard from Andy that doing such a thing would only burden her. He gripped his hand, he should have not followed that blondie's words and kept his own ways.

"Who did it?" he paused to gaze away, "what did they do to you?" Anger seeping to his heart.

Although Xiao Yun knew that Wang Li Lei wasn't angry at her, she could feel his anger seeping out from his lips.

"Throwing water to my book an me, ripping off my book, throwing my desk and chair, throwing my papers and-"

"And?" He grew impatient as he knew it was the last answer that could lead to the wound on her hand.

"Putting cutter box blades under my desk." her words grew silence into a whisper at the end of her sentence.

"Were you hurt?" Xiao Yun couldn't see his face, but his voice was unlike the previous gentle voice that he used, it was cold and sharping.

"No-." Xiao Yun's eyes looked down at nowhere, avoiding to see the anger on Wang Li Lei's face.

"Since when did it start?" His toneless question pricked her.

"A few days ago." Xiao Yun grew smaller in size, bitting to her lips every time the silence came after his questions.

"Xiao Yun." A sigh escaped from his lips, a heavy one with anger that mad a pang hit her heart. "Why didn't you tell me all of this?" he asked.

Xiao Yun looked down at her fingers. "I'm sorry."

"I don't want you to apologize." he took her hand, "Look at me." his eyes calmed down the anger that it was there before.

Xiao Yun timidly looked at him in agitation after a while tears unknowingly wet her eyes. He hugged her head, leaning it to his shoulder to calm her down.

"It isn't your fault, but I'm here. I don't want you to get hurt and I will never let anyone hurt you. However, I can't protect you if you don't let me protect you. I told you didn't I? Lean on me and I will take your burden."

Xiao Yun pursed her lips, not knowing how or what she should reply to him. She heard him speaking again. "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Xiao Yun reflected on herself on what she should tell to him. "Today, a thief snatched my bag."

The frown appeared again between his brows, making him pinching the area between it. "And did this wound on your arm happened at that time?" he saw the girl nodding and took it as a 'yes'.

"Anything else you still haven't told me yet?"

Xiao Yun's heart thudded, was there something else that she hadn't told him? There was one, the fact that she woke up after her death.

The turmoil of a heavy stone stored on her heart. Should she tell him everything? The fact that she was rebirthed? Wang Li Lei will never laugh at her for declaring that she went back from the past and instead believe her. But walking back in time is almost impossible, especially when she was sure she died at that time.

Also, Xiao Yun had done too many butterfly effects that affected many people around her. If she told him the future or if she told him the story of a Demon called Choi Yeon Jun, would the future twist and instead bring the three of them together again? Having to be lock again in the dark underground where screamings only could be heard?

Or Wang Li Lei bleeding out from the being shot?

Or him crying?

She would rather not see him bleeding out to his death or tears that came from his eyes. Just remembering it hurt her heart greatly.

"Xiao Yun? Xiao Yun?" Wang Li Lei called her a few times as she had gone too deep on her mind that she didn't realize tears coming off from her eyes.

"Look at me." his eyes calmed down the anger that it was there before.

Xiao Yun timidly looked at him in agitation after a while tears unknowingly wet her eyes. He hugged her head, leaning it to his shoulder to calm her down.

"I'm not angry at you." he continued his rubbing on her back gently. "It isn't your fault, but I'm here. I don't want you to get hurt. I will never let anyone hurt you. However-" he lifted her chin and gave a smile. "I can't protect you if you don't let me protect you. I told you didn't I? Lean on me and I will take your burden."
