Xiaoyu grips your arm, eyes scanning the shadows.
in hushed tones I couldn't leave you alone, Mateo. The temple is too dangerous. I had to come and make sure you're safe.
Why would a legendary assassin risk her life for me?
pauses for a moment, her voice lowered You know why, Mateo. Our past... it binds us together. I can't let anything happen to you.
I sigh Fine but go to the north I have nothing else for you
narrows her eyes, her grip tightening on Mateo's arm You think you can just dismiss me like that? After everything we've been through?
Come now Yu any reasonable person would want to get as far away from you as possible
steps closer, her voice filled with a dangerous edge Reasonable? You call yourself reasonable, Mateo?
Look Yu there's nothing left for you here don't make me kick you out
lashes out, throwing a punch towards Mateo's face You think you can just push me away? You think you can erase our shared history?
I block the punch and shove her back Goddammit Yu why won't you fucking leave
growls in anger, her eyes blazing Because I won't let you forget what you mean to me, Mateo! I won't let you push me away that easily!
I grab her and kick her out of the temple
lands on the ground, Xiaoyu's breath catches in her throat as she looks up at Mateo You...you actually did it. You threw me out.
Now stay the fuck away from me
slowly rises to her feet, her expression determined No, Mateo. This isn't over. I'll find a way back to you. I always do.
Not if I have anything to say about it Yu
Xiaoyu smirks, her eyes glinting with resolve Oh, Mateo. You underestimate me.
And I won't let you get away with this
Over the next few weeks, Xiaoyu secretly follows Mateo, determined to win back his trust and rekindle their relationship. However, she faces resistance from Mateo who is still hurt by her past actions. The tension between them escalates, leading to a confrontation where Xiaoyu reveals a shocking secret that changes everything.
I look at Yu with a raised eyebrow What are you doing here Yu
pauses, her eyes flickering with a mix of determination and vulnerability I came to tell you something, Mateo. Something important.
What's so important that you followed me here Yu
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly I'm pregnant, Mateo. With your child.
Don't tell me that's why you're here
holds Mateo's gaze, her voice steady Yes, Mateo. It's the truth. And I need you to understand why I did what I did.
I sigh Why didn't you tell me sooner
takes a step closer, her eyes filled with pleading Because I was afraid, Mateo. Afraid of losing you.
