Ms Cheng informed me that JiangYi came looking for her but we have no idea why, I stroll out in the streets in the darkness to find anything suspicious but there was none. Maybe he is not up to anything .The empty paths where only the moonlight and lanterns are brightening it up takes my mind to the person who is in the academy sleeping in my room.
The picture of her face close to mine flashes in front of my eyes making my lips twitch up to a smile without my realisation.
Did she put some spell on me or something because I just cannot stop thinking about her as day by day it's becoming a habit.
Why am I changed all of sudden is it because I know that she is a girl or is it because she seems to be special comparing to the rest.
Stopping by JiangYi's house I stay there for a while but he doesn't walk out, the sound of the door creak makes me attentive, leaning behind the pole I peep out to see him exiting his house watching around cautiously.

Wanke's P.O.VRubbing my eyes lazily I lift my eyelids as I feel that the whole bed is in my control, sitting up straight I run my hand through my messy hair looking around to find that Feng Lei is not here. Yawning aloud I get ready to leave as I got something to do.Uncle Wales appointed officer Yi Han to search for the duplicates files of JiangYi and the records of all his bribes with the smugglers. I was supposed to get it by noon but I couldn't as I was busy therefore I have to leave now and I don't think that he would mind if I meet him this late because his life will be in danger as long as the files are with him.Taking Feng Lei’s absence as an advantage I wander around freely not being cautious about the noise of my footsteps. I stroll around the room and I check outside through the window to hunt Feng Lei but he is no where to be seen.Where he would have gone at this time?Holding my hips with my palms I look up inhaling a de

"So you know my father," I ask plucking the grass on the land which is showing up underneath the rock by the lake where we are seated.I pulled Feng Lei here forcefully after class to have a chat because last night we couldn't speak properly as we had an argument. I was taken off guard last night when I saw the whole different Feng Lei, the person who is calm and cold burst out yelling at me. He was mad at me because I barged in recklessly as the ones who were present there knows that I'm the one behind the mask especially JiangYi. He is still pulling up a long face at me due to my attitude.To be honest the fact that he yelled at me made me a little upset and I didn't know why I felt that all of a sudden. His face which was raging in anger makes anyone smaller in front of him."Hmmm," he hums in reply his eyes glued to the flowing water.The surrounding captures silence the very next second, the sound of the water flowing and the chirping of

Giving weight to my arm I move up looking down at his eyes which are gawking at me, chewing my inner cheek I kneel over my left and stand up to my feet. I turn around when he gets up as his eyes never leaves me.I stand there nervously not sure of what should be done next, nervousness is killing me right now when I feel my skin heat up, staring at the ground I try to settle my mind which is being a mess.He kissed meWhy?What's going on his mind?"WanKe," he calls out softly but I just stand there facing the opposite direction ignoring his presence."Wanke," he calls again his voice a little louder but I stay still not ready to face the situation with my blank mind."Xing Xing," turning around instantly I hit on his arm angrily, he is really getting into my nerves right now."I.....,""Don't speak," I snap "Let's go back it's getting dark," without giving him a glance I turn around to walk but stop in my tracks wh

"What are you thinking about?," HenYu brings me out of my thought of what happened a couple of days back.My brain never forgets about it and whenever I be with him I cannot get along as always because my inner being warns me about what he thinks about me.Will he like me even if he didn't know that I'm a woman?"You've been absent minded for a long time," snaking his hand around my neck he pulls me closer "You look pale did something happen?," He asks lowly smiling mischievously."Nothing," removing his arm from my neck I walk forward entering the store.Feng Lei and I did not speak much after that incident as no one pulled up a topic. I kept myself in distance from him and we never made eye contact. We converse when there is something important the other time it's just a smile which we pass.ChengLi and HenYu found us suspicious the very next day but I shoved them off by telling it's nothing.My heart beat rises when he gets c

Third person P.O.V"You got to spare me for saving your life," HenYu grunts under his breath carrying WanKe to the land.Placing him on the dry ground at the bridge, he turns his head to a side allowing the water to drain from his mouth and nose. Turning his head back to the centre he stares at WanKe who has turned pale due to the cold water."No, no this should not be happening," he panics moving his shivering hands close his nose to check his breathing "No..No please," he stutters taking hold of his hand he checks the pulse.Biting his lower lip he wipes off the tears which flows down his cheeks uncontrollably, he slightly slaps WanKe thrice telling him to wake up. Getting onto his knees he clasps his trembling hands, placing his palm on his chest he pumps giving pressure but there is no movement of WanKe."Wake up, please," he whispers within his heavy pants, sitting straight he leans over his body gripping the collar of his hanfu the parts the

Wanke's P.O.VDigging into my bags and cupboard I try to find any wooden box to keep the hairpin inside as today is Xu Xu’s birthday. Unfolding my dresses I check my pockets my eyes goes small when my brows contact touching something inside the pocket.What is this?I don't remember owing something like this.Taking it into my palm I caress it trying to figure out the object before taking a look at it, furling my brows I pull it out noticing the object. My mind flashes back to the day when I bought the bracelet while following JiangYi. The picture of Feng Lei standing opposite to me in the cupboard on that night plays in my mind, I feel my cheeks below my eyes making me realise that I'm smiling stupidly. Bringing the pair of bracelet which is tangled to my vision I remember the words of the seller. He told that it's a love bound bracelet and I will meet my love very soon and that same night I saw him.The sound of the footsteps on

Third Person P.O.V"There she is ," WanKe walks out of the room when he noticed XuXu coming. They smile at each other like siblings meeting each other after a long time."How do I look?," She asks standing opposite to WanKe in distance, brushing off the strands of hair behind her ear her eyes glints in happiness."You look...," His heart stops for a moment, his pupil delates in horror, panic flaring in his eyes as the fear paralyzes his body.XuXu lets out a weird sound not having the strength to move her muscles she cringes, the colour draining from her face when she feels the hard punch on the back at her muscles the hot feeling of blade while she is winded. Her new clothes turns to be sticky when the material absorbs the blood. Electricity wired through her nerves exploding in her mind with a blinding of whiteness making her dizzy.WanKe tries to speak or move but he couldn't. He keeps a step forward with his wobbly legs terror mount

~ Three weeks later~Pouring the liquor from the pot in the cup he drinks it up with one gulp. Closing his eyes he inhales a deep breath in and lets it out a feeble smile makes it's way on his lips when he stares down at the liquid in the ceramic cup. Squeezing his eyes tight he lifts the other pot and drinks it all trying not to be sober.Wanke always stays in the house of Jin at night as he gets drunk and sleeps there itself and then goes back to the academy in the morning. He has been absent minded in the class lately and never spoke to anyone. Feng Lei , HenYu and ChengLi tried their best to comfort him but he never gave them a chance as he keeps himself away from them isolating. He didn't go back to the imperial palace for the three days holidays which was given to study for the exam as the main examination is held tomorrow and the following month is when the person who will take power to their kingdom will be announced. He stayed back even though he wanted
