Karl was surprised at her reply, but that also made him realize that he probably had offended her.
"I'm sorry," he quickly apologized to her, "I really did not mean anything with that."
Risa actually knew that was not intentional, but she could not help but glare for some more, before she looks away. "Forget it, let me try again," she said as she positioned herself in the spot.
"So, how was Daniel just now?" Risa asked as she was calculating how to hold the stick in between her clasps. "Was he upset or angry or anything like that?"
Karl, who was paying attention at how Risa planted her feet, and then was about to check on her hold, raised up his face to look at her.
"Well, why don't you look at the scoreboard and see how he butchered me earlier?" and then he snorted, "he killed me clean, that heartless bastard!"
Karl was holding the golf club by the end of the stick, and pointed the head of the club to a monitor screen that was standing in a corner about one meter away.
Risa turned her head around to look at the direction he was pointing at and she saw a huge gap between Daniel's and Karl's scores.
Her eyes went round in shock as she glanced back to Karl who was shrugging at her.
And then he boasted a hearty laugh, "That man, the more he is challenged, the crazier he will get. Just bet yourself that for the next few weeks, we will be working like there is no tomorrow."
And then all of a sudden, his face turned solemn and started to talk in a more serious tone, "He said he has a plan. Axel and Daniel are basically two peas in the same pod," Karl then heaved a sigh, "I can already see that my single life will get even more lonely now," and then he brought his attention back to Risa and got distracted with her wrists.
"Here, let me show you instead of yelling at you."
.....
Karl walked to stand behind her, and circled his arms around her. His broad palms were slowly approaching her wrists.
He gently wrapped his palm over the back of her hands, "Look here," his deep voice brushed her ears gently, leaving behind traces of caressing night wind. His fingers slowly peeled her fingers away from the golf stick, "your left hand first," and then he corrected each finger's position, "and then your right hand."
His dreamy, masculine voice was right behind her right ear. Their cheeks were almost kissing each other, but Karl was oblivious of all that. He also missed a pink hue that slowly crept up Risa's face as his breath softly grazed her impeccable skin.
Risa was flustered as she rapidly blinked away her shyness.
"I- I got it, you are standing too close, let me try it myself now," Risa said as she was trying to shake him off.
Karl quickly let go of his hold around her, and took a step back. He did not think anything was wrong with how she sounded, or how she reacted. Karl was busy looking at how Risa would wrapped her fingers around the stick now that he was not around to guide her.
.....
The group decided to call it a day when it was almost midnight.
Instead of going back to the office to get their car, Li Xiqing decided to drive everyone back to their home. Based on their location, Li Xiqing reached Karl's apartment first. And then about fifteen minutes ride later, they dropped Risa off to her apartment.
When they were finally home, Shao Yan who was walking ahead of him started to say, "Oh what a day! My body is aching all over now," she let out a big yawn as she bend slightly to take off her shoes.
Suddenly, she felt a warm spot on her back; his broad palm was placed on the small of her waist, and then his gentle voice sounded from next to her, "Here, let me help you."
Before Shao Yan got the chance to say anything, she saw Li Xiqing had knelt down next to her, and started to untie her shoes. She had put on a pair of combat boots today and these boots came with full ties all over the front.
Shao Yan felt a slight guilt as she watched his fingers skillfully worked on the intricate ties. One by one, he patiently worked on each boots until he could take both off.
.....
As the shoes came off her feet, Li Xiqing scooped her up into his arms, and started to walk to their bedroom. Shao Yan wanted to protest as she knew how tired Li Xiqing must had been as well; but she knew that arguing with him for just a short walk was not really worth it.
So she decided to just let him be.
Slowly, she leaned her head on the crook of his neck, with her hand rested on his chest. A soft voice rang through the empty rooms, "Thank you, Xiqing," she breathed the words slowly, "I know you must be so tired too."
Li Xiqing did not say anything in return. He just glanced down at her, and gave a gentle smile.
As they reached their bedroom, he sat at the corner of the bed with Shao Yan still wrapped in his embrace.
He leaned his cheek to touch her forehead, as he tightened his hold around her, "Yan Yan," he whispered gently, "let me hold you like this for a while."
Shao Yan detected his longing from his gentle voice. She stayed still in his embrace, while also circled her arms around him and returned his hug.
In a quiet and tranquil night like this, the couple could be seen holding each other tightly as they savor each other's heartbeat and warmth. They only had each other's in their mind. With their hearts were full of love.
'There is nothing else in this world that I would ask for. Just you alone is enough.'
