Chapter 4: Heart Marathon
That afternoon, the nurse allowed Hao to go home and not stay in CLAMP's hospital. hao acted as if nothing happened to him but at the moment they got out of the clinic, here he is, feeling weak again. Hao offered to walk Jeanne home as repayment for taking care of him. At first, Jeanne hesitated but Hao insisted. " Why didn't that blonde nerd walk you home?" Hao asked. "If you mean Marco.." Jeanne replied. "His at Paris, together with the other X-LAWS members. You better thank your lucky stars we stopped pursuing you.". " Really?" Hao said. I wish you were still pursuing me.. but in a very different way than before... "What're you thinking?" Jeanne asked as if reading his mind. "Nothing.." Hao lied "Are we here yet?". "Be patient!" Jeanne reprimanded. After a couple of minutes they arrived at Jeanne's house. It was fairly big, made of marble and white paint. Jeanne pulled the keys from the pocket of her school skirt and unlocked the door. She motioned for Hao to come in which Hao did willingly.
They both sat on the sofa at the living room." You wait here..." Jeanne said "i'll go and make tea..". Jeanne ran to the kitchen, leaving a grinning Hao. Jeanne got a teacup from the cupboard and started making the tea. While making it, she had a few thoughts in her mind. Why am I acting this way towards him? We were former enemies right? Actually, we were the greatest rivals! And now, he's here inside my house... as my guest. Really, what's happening to me? What's happening around here? The silence was broken by Hao's chuckle. Judging by the loudness of his chuckle, he must be nearby. Jeanne turned around and saw Hao behind her, walking towards her, still chuckling. " I got worried a bit back there" he said " You were took too much time making tea and i didn't hear any sound. You were as quiet as a mouse..." Jeanne blushed. "I thought I told youto stay there and wait for me?" she replied as she took her attention back to the tea she was making.
Her heart raced when she felt Hao's warm body press against her back. Hao slid his arms down Jeanne's waist and locked her in a very warm embrace. Jeanne's heart was pounding in her chest. Why is he doing this? Why can'tI tell him to let go of me? ... It's as if my body wants this happening...What's wrong with me?... She was caught off-guard. She breathed in heavily, trying to calm herself down. "Honestly.." Hao said " I want you this close to me...". That statement even made it more confusing. "Hao...". Jeanne summoned all her might and faced Hao. Hao smirked at her now blushing face. Jeanne felt as if the time stopped around them. It's as if nothing mattered now. Its as if they didn't have conflicts with each other before. Jeanne whimpered a bit when Hao leaned closer to her. Their faces were now inches from each other. When one of them moves, their lips are sure to meet each other. Jeanne almost fell for this but just in time, she recovered her cool. She bowed down. " Hao..." Jeanne said "Kindly excuse me... your tea's getting cold... I suggest you go back to the living room and wait there for me..." She turned her back, not wanting to see Hao's reaction. She continued to make his tea for him.
