Crossing the Line

[A little short story, written just for fun]

The first time Shen Zhimei met Chi Yu, she knew he was no good.

He had a distinctly aloof face, but his peach-blossom eyes were extraordinarily captivating, as if they held all the springtime in the world.

Yet whenever he looked at her, those gentle eyes turned especially sinister and fierce, their meaning impossible to fathom.

Because of their fathers' friendship, she had to call him Uncle Chi.

Later, beneath the warm orange glow of the lights at home, Uncle Chi pinned her to the table and bit her lips several times. After finally pushing him away, she managed to speak.

"Chi Yu, you've crossed the line."

All she heard in reply was the man's low laugh.

"Mm. There's more where that came from."
