Illicit Relationship

Inside a big and luxurious room, two young people were looking at each other. The young woman was sitting on the bed with her back leaning against the headboard.

Her pretty face was covered in bruises, and her head was wrapped in a white bandage. From her appearance, anyone could tell that something bad had just happened to her.

Even though the young woman was in bad condition, but she did not show the slightest care about it. Her pretty purple eyes were focused on the young man, as if she was looking for something on the face of the young man.

On her left side, an attractive young man was sitting on the chair. His face was full of worry after seeing the young woman's condition.

From his expression, anyone could tell that the young woman was important for the young man.

Yes, these attractive young people were none other than Xiao Tian and Flower.

At this moment, Xiao Tian and Flower didn't say anything and only stared at each other. After Xiao Tian found out who Flower was, both of them had no idea what to say to each other.

If Xiao Tian still didn't know Flower's real identity, they would have been chatting happily. However, the situation was different now because Flower was the assassin who had tried to kill him twice.

*One minute…Two minutes…Three minutes…Five minutes…

It had been five minutes since they looked at each other, but still, none of them said a word.

Every time they wanted to say something, they felt as if the words were stuck in their throats. There were so many things they wanted to say, but they didn't know where to start.

Yes. Their relationship was complicated. Both of them were enemies, but at the same time, they were also friends.

At this moment, they even did not know what their relationship was.

'We can't continue like this.'

These were the words that appeared in their minds.

Flower opened her little mouth and uttered, "Xiao Tian."

At the same time, Xiao Tian also spoke, "Rose."

They called their names at the same time. This made them stop their words instantly. Like before, they were silent for a few seconds.

Flower sighed before saying, "You already know who I am now. Why didn't you kill me earlier?"

Instead of answering her question, Xiao Tian asked, "Why didn't you kill me when we were in the forest? I was unconscious after we fell off the cliff. It was a perfect opportunity to kill me, so why didn't you kill me? You even brought me to the cave."

"At first, I wanted to kill you, but I changed my mind." Flower gave an honest answer.

"Why?" Xiao Tian wanted to know the reason why she suddenly changed her mind.

"Do you remember when two delinquents tried to harass me?" Flower inquired

"Yes." Xiao Tian nodded his head.

"Actually, the reason why I was at Fuku city was to kill you." Flower spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "When you helped me from these delinquents, I felt nothing. However, when you fought fifteen delinquents for the sake of protecting me, my heart suddenly began to waver."

Flower then continued, "My determination to kill you started to fade away when you still protected me as we fell off the cliff. And when we lived together in the forest, I started to think of you as my friend."

As Flower was explaining the reason why she didn't kill him, Xiao Tian paid attention to her carefully.

"Sure, it was hard to live in the forest, but to be honest, it was one of the most beautiful memories for me." Flower uttered, "You protected me so many times. You even fought wild beasts for the sake of protecting me. If it was not for you, I would be dead by now. So, how could I still have thoughts of killing you?"

Xiao Tian finally understood the reason why Flower didn't kill him when they were in the forest.

"Now it's your turn to answer my question." Flower spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "Why did you help me? And why didn't you kill me? You know I've tried to kill you twice, right? Why didn't you do it?"

"My answer is the same as yours." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "To be honest, I had the intention to kill you earlier. However, when I was about to kill you, memories of us living in the forest suddenly appeared in my mind."

Xiao Tian could not pretend they did not have any relationship. These memories were too beautiful to the point he could not forget or erase them from his mind.

"So what are you going to do to me now?" Flower inquired.

Instead of answering her question, Xiao Tian asked, "What about you? Are you still going to try to kill me later?"

"No." Flower shook her head. "I have returned the money so you are no longer my target now."

"Because I'm no longer your target, then I won't do anything to you." Xiao Tian uttered, "We can forget everything and pretend as if nothing has happened to us before."

"Are you sure?" actually, Flower was startled by Xiao Tian's words.

She didn't expect him to forgive her so easily like that. Sure, she had helped him when they lived in the forest, but she had tried to kill him twice before.

And from the way Xiao Tian treated the grown men they met in the cave, Flower was sure that Xiao Tian was not someone who would easily forget everything.

Of course, this made Flower happy because Xiao Tian was not a bad person in her eyes.

"Yes." Xiao Tian answered as he nodded his head. "Don't you want to be friends with me?"

"I want to. But I have tried to kill you twice before." Flower was still feeling guilty for trying to kill him twice before.

Sure, Xiao Tian could forget it, but she was different from Xiao Tian.

"Didn't I say that I have forgiven you earlier? See! I'm fine. I'm still alive right now." Xiao Tian understood the reason why Flower behaved like that.

"Thank you for forgiving me, Xiao Tian." Flower's face blossomed into a smile.

Her smile was so beautiful to the point Xiao Tian felt as if there were suddenly many tiny stars around her.

"Un." Xiao Tian then raised his right little finger. "Now we are officially friends."

Flower then intertwined her right little finger with his and nodded her head. "Yes. We are friends now."

Like before, Xiao Tian and Flower smiled again.

At this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly remembered that he had bought the porridge earlier. "Wait here. I'll bring you a porridge now."

After saying that, Xiao Tian rose to his feet and walked out of his room.

"Xiao Tian…" Flower suddenly called Xiao Tian.

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Tian instantly stopped his footsteps and turned around. "Do you need anything?"

At this moment, Xiao Tian thought Flower needed something. But he was wrong because what she said next was something he had never thought of before.

"My name is Crystal." Crystal gave her real name to Xiao Tian.
