Being the son of a businessman isn't easy, and Ji Nan knows that to well. So when he was forced to move he made sure to not let anyone know about his fathers income. He even made sure not to let anyone get to know him, but when he is tasked with tut...

Thirty minutes had passed since I had made it home. I had already taken a shower and was sitting on the couch doing the last question of my literature homework. Ba Wei hadn't texted or called me since the last phone call so I can assume that he couldn't sneak out. Hopefully he'll be able to make it before midnight. I didn't want to be up all night again.
I finished the last question and was just about to grab my science book when there was a knock on the door. I got up from the couch and walked over to the door. I had a feeling it was Ba Wei so I just opened it. When our eyes met I couldn't help the smile that plastered Itself on my face.
"Why are you smiling like that at me," he said as he stepped inside?
I didn't say anything and just shook my head. I shut the door and watched him take off his shoes. Before I could even try to say anything his lips pressed against mine. Initially I was taken aback, but after a few seconds I began to kiss back. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I couldn't help but let out a soft moan. As our tongues danced against each other I could feel a spark light in my stomach. I can't let it get too far.
Without any other option I pulled back from the kiss. I buried my face in his chest and that seemed to amuse him because he let out a chuckle. I thought since I pulled out of the kiss he'd let me go but he didn't. Instead he started to kiss my head, then my ears. He planted one on each and very lowly right against my right ear he whispered something that pulled on my heart strings.
"I missed you."
I had been doing so good in not blushing the entire time but with just that one short sentence my face was engulfed in flames. I buried my face even deeper into his chest. How was I even supposed to answer that when I couldn't even muster up the courage to look at him.
"Was I not missed," he asked teasingly? He kissed my ear, "are you gonna answer me?"
I did miss him even though I didn't want admit it, but I sure as hell didn't want to tell him though. At the moment I physically wanted to get out of his grip and go hide somewhere because at this point my mind was everywhere except focusing on the reason he's here. What even is this situation? Why is he so touchy feely all of a sudden? I wanted to answer that but every time I felt his lips touch my ears shivers would run down my spine. How can I focus. Just say it.
"I," I started, "I missed you too."
My voice was low as I said that sentence but judging by how still he was he definitely had heard it. The arm around my waist loosened and in surprise I looked up and just as I did he planted a soft kiss on my lips. He pulled back and a smile spread across his face. It was one of those smiles where even though it doesn't reach their eyes you can still see the happiness in their eyes. It made my heart skip a beat. It felt like my lungs were failing me.
He ran a hand through his hair, "I'm glad."
He stepped away from me and walked over to the couch. I watched as he took a seat still in awe of what just happened. After a few seconds I finally snapped out of it and went and took a seat beside him.
I picked up my science book, "I'm sorry. I started without you."
He let out a chuckle, "it's fine. I'm sorry for making you wait. I had to bribe Kang Wu so I could take the car."
"I'm surprised be actually let you take it."
"Me too if I'm being honest. The guy is honestly a little bit scary when it comes to that car."
I let out a soft chuckle. "Did you being your books? We have to get through the session quickly now."
He just nodded and got up," I left them in the car. Let me grab them."
I didn't anything and just reopened my literature book and set up for the session. It didn't take him long to go get those books because after he left he reentered almost a minute later. He sat back down beside me and pulled out his books.
"Go easy on me okay," he said teasingly.
A small smile spread across my face, "I'll do my best."

I had told myself that I wanted to finish the session before midnight but looking at the clock now it was already one in the morning. Sure we had just finished but I didn't stay on that schedule I wanted to stay on. I let out a sigh and this seemed to catch Ba Weis attention.
"What's wrong," he asked as he stuffed his books back in his bag?
"It's nothing. I just wanted to go to bed before midnight but we finished a bit late."
He was quiet and finished packing up his things. He didn't look at me once as hw did this and I couldn't help but feel like I said something wrong.
"Um," I started, "did I say something wrong."
He let out a sigh, "no. I just am trying to hurry and get my things so I can leave so you can go to bed."
He was facing away from me the entire time he had said that and looking at his ears I knew why. He was blushing. I wanted to laugh. He was being considerate, but I guess he isn't used to it.
"Hey." I grabbed his hand. "Why don't you stay the night."
He looked towards me when he heard that sentence and not to my surprise his face was colder than ever. Cute. Very cute. The hand that was in mine tightened for a bit before he gave it light tug. I raised an eyebrow and moved a bit closer to him.
"If I stay Ji Nan," he leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on mine, "you won't get any sleep."
"Just don't annoy me and I'll get a lot of sleep."
He didn't say anything and just stared me. In truth I don't know why I wanted him to stay. It's true that I missed him but even I knew that if he stayed I'd be up all night. Whether he'd physically or psychologically drain me. My face started to heat up. He was going to do one of the other, but still I'd like him to stay.
"Please," I said reluctantly.
He shifted his eyes and let out a sigh, "don't blame me for your lack of sleep."
A smile spread across my face, "I won't. If I don't get any sleep I'll take responsibility."
"You better. You're a drag to be around when tired."
