Married to his secret crush

Hearing the sound of someone stepping on the dried leaves, Han Jian Yu opened his eyes slowly.

He was greeted by the sight of that white fox walking towards him.

Han Jian Yu was not sure if it was his illusion or if the fox was really stepping towards him with slow and hesitant steps. If he had not seen her ripping off limb and neck in front of his own eyes, he would have seen it as a cat who is just slightly... bigger in size.

''Stay there,'' He said while eyeing it suspiciously. He was still unable to come in terms with the fact that this was the same small thing who was living under his roof since a long time.

And not only that, there was some other thought which was circulating in his mind and he was unable to grasp what it was.

Mia stopped at a distance from him when he asked her to. She lowered her head and her ears flopped slowly, her hazel eyes sparkled under the moonlight as they welled up with tears. She found herself a little culnerable at this point, where she wanted to blink thise tears away but she was unable to.

Her tail drooped and she turned around, deciding tiy was probably the best idea to leave at the moment. It was very uncomfortable for her to be seen by Han Jian Yu like this.

She admitted that she hated this feeling...

And somehow, there was this strange wish in her heart that she wanted to be a human, a complete human.

''I didn't ask you to leave,'' Han Jian Yu whispered when he saw the fox walking away from him. Was it his illusion again? Or was it sad? ''You can stay if you want to,'' For some reason, he was not intimidated by it like others.

Maybe it was because he had seen it when it was like a small thing, running and whining around him or maybe because he felt like it did not mean any harm. He could not decide what it was.

Mia's tail slightly swished as she turned around to look at him, her ears perked up and she glanced at him.

So... was he not despising her? She could not help but think over it as she slowly stepped towards him.

This time, Han Jian Yu did not say anything as he let her approach him.

Mia avoided looking into his eyes and focused on his body instead.

She raised her paw towards his chest. Noticing that he did not seem to be afraid of her, she kept extending it but just as she was about to place it on his chest, she saw something from the corner of her eyes.

She tilted her head to the side and glanced at the blood on her paw.

''I don't mind,'' Han Jian Yu said as he followed her gaze. He knew that she was able to comprehend what he was saying. It had been that way since the time she was living at his place.

Mia blinked before she placed her paw on his chest.

Han Jian Yu raised an eyebrow. He was curious about what she was trying to do.

Se grabbed the collar of his shirt before running her sharp nail down in a line from the center.

'Rip'

Han Jian Yu raised an eyebrow when he saw her staring at his chest quietly.

Mia gulped. There were these humans who resembled immortals despite being in the mortal world.

There was this one particular human, who could be bloodied and bruised, in almost a half-dead condition but will still be able to look like this.

She closed her eyes and shook her head, trying to shake off such thoughts from her mind. It was not proper for her think of things like this at such a time.

Han Jian Yu was speechless.

Mia quietly tugged at his hand before stepping away from him.

''You want me to take this off?" Han Jian Yu asked her doubtfully.

Mia glanced at him for a moment before she lowered her head and nodded slowly.

Han Jian Yu glanced at her quietly for a moment before he slowly leaned forward and took off his bsuit jacket. As he tried to remove his shirt, a frown formed on his face and his lips thinned as he found the material stuck to the wound on his back.

Mia glanced at him quietly for a few seconds before she stepped forward and blinked. In the next moment, his shirt dispersed into thin air.

Han Jian Yu froze for a few moments. Despite having already witnessed it with his own eyes, he was still not accustomed to it. He has never heard of the existence of such things and if he had not seen it with his eyes then he would never have believed that something like this exists.

Suddenly reminded about something, he narrowed his eyes as he tilted his head.

Mia was speechless. Why was he glaring at her? He was in pain and she helped him. Was there something he should glare at her for?

She paused for a moment before taking a peek inside his thoughts.

'Since it could have been done this easily, why was I put through the hassle?'

Mia narrowed her eyes at him. Wasn't it her being decent? And she did that so that she would not end up scaring him. Shouldn't he be thankful instead of glaring like this?

But then again, she realized that he did not have any powers which can help him hear her thoughts like her.

'Hmph' She harrumphed inwardly as she turned her face to the side.

Han Jian Yu was speechless. He noticed this before when she was living with him but right now, he could feel it more that her antics were more like humans.

Mia walked behind him and placed her paw on his back as she nudged him.

Han Jian Yu quietly straightened up and stopped leaning on the tree.. He wondered what she was upto.
