Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 213

She didn't want to talk with her anymore, she is spewing nonsense and it is only adding to her confusion.
Yu Yan went over to him and put his arms around her shoulders then she carried him out of the room, she laid him on the passenger's seat and entered the driver's seat when they got to her car, she stepped on the brakes and exited the hotel.
Since it is already twelve in the midnight, she had no reason to not return back home so she decided to drive him to his mansion first, she still has to work tomorrow morning so instead of having to drive back when the day breaks she might as well just return now.
She arrived at his mansion, since the gate has been programmed to open when it senses his cars she didn't know if it would open and it didn't seem like he has any servants working at his house but to her surprise, the gate opened automatically.
She was surprised but she didn't have the time to think much, she drove into the compound and parked her car in the huge compound, she turned to the back seat and pulled him out of the backseat after attempting to wake him up but to no avail.
She painstakingly pulled him to the front of the door, the door opened as soon as she got to it, she dumped him on the sofa as soon as she entered the mansion, she slumped on the chair...trying to catch her breath, she was too tired...having to drive for so long and also carry a grown man.
She opened her eyes when she heard the sound of someone coming down from the stairs, she thought someone had snuck into the house to burgle his home, she pretended to be unconscious...closing her eyes and waited until the person came near, when she felt the person's presence close to her, she grabbed the person's hand and dropped the figure on the sofa.
She knitted her brows in confusion....a middle-aged woman, groaning.
"aren't you..." the woman stared deep into her eyes, she looked like she recognises her but Yu Yan was sure she has never met her before, she quickly freed the woman from her grip and stood up politely, bowing her head to apologise.
"I am his nanny,"
"Nanny...I am sorry,"

"Don't be mistaken, his childhood nanny, you are..."
"Oh, I am Yu Yan...er...his friend," she answered
"You look like her," she remarked, still staring at her.
"Huh,"
"oh, it's nothing...I will leave you to it then," she turned around and hurriedly walked through the entrance.
"But..." she stood there helplessly, she was happy to see that someone is at home to take care of him but the woman suddenly left her to it.
Seeing that she looked like his childhood lover, she decided to let them be and not interrupt them so she left Yu Yan to it.
She looked at him in his pitiful state in frustration, the weather is cold so she thought it would be heartless to leave him on the sofa, she hanged his arm around her neck then she pulled him to the bedroom she entered last time.
She dumped him on the bed and fell on the bed with him, she sighed in fatigue, his entire weight on her was just too heavy for her, she was lying beside him...realizing that she quickly sprung up from the bed, as soon as she stood up, he also stood up like a ghost and ran to the bathroom.
She was startled seeing someone who was just unconscious suddenly waking up and running, she followed him to the bathroom where she saw him puking, she nodded her head, clicking her tongue and sighed.
{That is what you get for drinking so much,}
After he finished puking and flushed the toilet, he dropped the ground, she quickly entered the bathroom and carried him up then she moved him to his again, she looked at him in his messy state and sighed....why in the world is she stuck with him?.
She went into the bathroom and filled a bowl with water then she picked a white towel with it, she placed the bowl and towel on the stool next to his bed, she removed his shoe then she moved on to unbutton his shirt and removed it.
She flinched at the sight of his well-sculptured chest, her throat bobbed at the sight and her eyes couldn't resist staring at his chest, she shook her head, reminding herself that was she is doing is wrong.
She sat on the bed and squeezed the towel after dipping it in the bowl of water, she wiped his face gently with the towel as she bent closer to wipe it clearly, she stopped when her face got too close to his face...he looked really handsome and...pitiful.

Somehow, she felt guilty seeing him in that state even though she couldn't understand how it is her fault that he is in such a state and come to think of it, he has also been acting strange towards her.
"What exactly is going on with you?" she sighed deeply, after cleaning his face, she placed the towel on the stool and stood up to leave but her eyes met the mural above his bed, she fixed her eyes on it...it is the same as the one she saw in the compartment.
Does the girl on that painting mean something to him...she decided it was none of her concern so she turned to leave but she felt someone holding her wrist, she looked down at her wrist, seeing his hand holding her wrist...she looked at him.
"Don't go," he muttered
"huh..."
"Please don't go," he sniffed his nose as tears started falling from his eyes but his eyes were closed, she moved closer to him go see if he is really awake but his eyes were shut tightly and the tears seeped out from the side of his eyes.
She felt a tug in her heart...
"W-why are you suddenly crying, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" she sounded concerned, he pulled her hand forwards, placing her hand on his chest, her eyes widened seeing her hand...there.
"W-what..."
"It hurts here,". she wanted to struggle but she stopped hearing him...did he really get his heartbroken by someone, she placed her hand at the side of his face and wiped his tears...he really seemed pitiful.
He pulled her to the bed, making her seat beside him then he wrapped his hands around her waist, and sniffed his nose with tears still falling, she raised her hands, not knowing where to place them, should she push him away or let him be?
Now that she is too close to him, she could smell the trace of his perfume.
"The same scent, could he really be the one I passed at the airport and come to think of it, the hotel he was at was close to where I was...is this really a coincidence?" she found herself questioning the situation.
She slowly placed her hands on his bareback and patted his back then she wrapped her arms firmly around him...{just for a while then I will leave}.

The next morning.
"Han Chen, Miss, Han Chen," she called hoping one of them will at least wake up before their food gets cold, she entered the mansion earlier than usual because she wanted to cook a hangover soup for Han Chen and make sure he doesn't escape breakfast now that he is going to the company.
As soon as she entered, the sight of two people cuddling each other to sleep greeted her but what took her by surprise was the fact that he was shirtless, did they...by any chance did something happen last night.
She cleared her throat and decided to give it another try.
"Han Chen! Miss!" she yelled aloud, both of them woke up immediately but they scanned their surrounding first.
"How did I get home, who is this?"
"Don't tell me I am still at...Wait who is this?" they turned to each other, their eyes widened.
Arrrgggghhh!!
They screamed, the nanny quickly blocked her ears with her finger.
They unwrapped their hands from each other then she kicked him off the bed.
"What are you doing here?" they chorused in unison.
"Are you asking me, this is my house," he replied
"Well then, why are you cuddling me to sleep...you pervert,"
"What...pervert, Hey, I was drunk last night, how am I supposed to know why I am cuddling you to sleep?"
"That's right, why am I cuddling him to sleep?" she asked herself, she ran her hand through her already scattered hair remembering that she was supposed to cuddle him for only a while but she must have fallen asleep.
"Well...I will leave you both to freshen up and come downstairs," the nanny awkwardly said and hurriedly left the room.
They sighed and turned to each other with a quizzical look in their eyes.
"Well...you were crying last night then you suddenly cuddled me so I...I thought I should just play along for a while and leave but...I guess I fell asleep," she awkwardly explained.

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/
