C18 I Miss You So Much I Can’t Sleep

His thoughts went back to the very moment when the thief had Yu Xiaotong at knife point. At the time, the situation was too dangerous. If the thief was the kind of person who wanted money and didn’t care about anything else at all, then she would most likely lose her life there and then. Even if her life wasn’t at risk, she would very likely sustain some injuries.

Of course, Zuo Yuliang only dared to approach him because he guessed that the thief was a very timid person who only pretended to be fierce on the outside. If the thief was a person who did not think twice to take another’s life, he would not have taken such a risk.

If an employee was hurt on the job, this would affect the image of the company.

Zuo Yuliang shook his head as memories of the stupid woman actually pleading with the police for the thief’s case surfaced. He was really angry at her at the time and was unable to stop himself from yelling at her.

When he handed her the gold medal, something familiar about her left a deep impression on Zuo Yuliang. Now, the 'glorious' image of her chasing a thief barefooted would forever be marked in his heart.

During the course of all this, the intention of him getting closer to her grew. He wanted to get to know this unique woman as soon as possible.

At night, Yu Xiaotong was lying in bed wide awake. Thoughts about the intimate way Zuo Yuliang took care of her made her heart jump fast in her chest.

She tried to dismiss the thoughts that the general manager of this big company was interested in her, but it was truly the first time a man had treated her so gently. It was also the first time a man’s words had such an effect on her. It was hard for her not to go over it in her mind!

Scenes of them being together one after another flashed in her mind.

His hand stroked the scar on her neck as he asked, “How did you get this scar?”

He said, “Do you know I was worried for your life when I saw you in danger this afternoon?”

And her flashbacks ended with him saying, “Maybe we saw each other in our dreams, or maybe we had a previous encounter in our last lives. Just like Romeo and Juliet!”

Soon she discovered that she was blushing. Her heart was racing and her face was rosy with shyness.

She lifted a hand to stroke the scar on her neck, recalling the touch of his hand there. His warm hand was so gentle. It was like he was not just touching the scar on her neck, but more like he had touched a chord in her heart, causing her to be so moved!

This was the first time a man had ever asked her about the scar. The first time a man had gently caressed her scar. These special moments gave Yu Xiaotong a strange feeling in her heart. It was a mixture of both shyness and sweetness!

Although she knew that she was no one special and thought that Zuo Yuliang could not have possibly developed feelings for her, she could not help but feel a thrill of excitement.

Skin contact between a man and a woman could be like an electric current. And just like that, Yu Xiaotong had been hit by Zuo Yuliang’s electricity.

Her heart, which never understood men, was moved for the very first time!

At this point, her phone was ringing. Yu Xiaotong picked it up and saw it was an unknown number. She had no idea who it was. With a frown on her face, she answered, “Hello, who is this?”

“This is Zuo Yuliang!” Zuo Yuliang had found her number from the Human Resources Department and called her right away.

“Huh?” Yu Xiaotong did not know what to say. Her heart leaped in her chest. “Zuo… Director Zuo, what… do you want?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to see what you were up to.”

“I… am in bed.”

“Are you asleep right now?”

Yu Xiaotong burst out laughing. “Of course not. Can I be talking to you if I’m still asleep?”

“Oh, it’s just that I thought I might have woken you up.”

“No.” Yu Xiaotong asked, “Do you need me for anything?”

“Not really.” Zuo Yuliang said, “I'm in bed too, but I just can't fall asleep. I miss you so much. That’s why I call you.”

“Oh.” At this point, Yu Xiaotong was slightly pouting. Her heart was pounding in her chest and her face was growing hotter. She was glad Zuo Yuliang couldn’t see how flustered she looked over the phone.

She did not know why, but when she heard Zuo Yuliang say those words, it was clear to her that these were the sweet words most men used to flirt with women. Despite all that, she could not help but feel a burst of happiness in her heart.

She guessed all girls liked to hear such sweet words come out of their men’s mouths.
