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 me
Why?
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
Lord Wen P.O.V"All done master," JiangYi informs he stands up from his knees when I gesture him to rise."Good," lifting the kettle I pour the tea into the cup, turning around I take my seat on the chair.That little girl has heard something which she is not supposed to know when JiangYi spoke to the Butcher Bo Han, if any of these gets into Xing Xing’s ears my plan of over the years will be a fail. I decided to get rid of her slowly by not making it difficult but I've underestimated her. I never thought that she would dig up the past about her father and my son, after all she is the daughter of that bastard.WenLingThe mention of his name makes my blood boil, he was just a brat and deserves the tragedy. He just didn't bother to arrest his step brother, I hated him from the day my father adopted him in the kingdom making that poor thing one of us as his father is a loyal friend of him. WenLing got everything like he was a prince born
Third Person P.O.VSleeping peacefully on the bed WanKe removes the pillow from beneath his head and cradles it to his chest. The sun beams through the wooden lattice of the window making him to stir up when the first beam of the sunlight hits his face, groaning under his breath he sits up straight. He puts his hand to his head which is throbbing furrowing his eyebrows he turns to his left.He moves behind with wide eyes, his hands automatically goes up to his chest covering it. Moving his gaze down he notices his dress on so he pushes his wild thoughts behind. Running his hands through his messy hair he looks up staring at the roof, a list of theories running in his mind trying to figure out what happened last night."Wasn't I sober?," He questions himself curiously.Crawling a little forward he fixes his eyes on Feng Lei who is asleep, moving closer he bends a little his eyes observing his sharp features, a spontaneous smile forms on his face when somet
XingXing, mother has not given you a perfect life after the death of your father , I couldn't even protect you. As a mother I've not completed my duty even though that I wanted you to be happy and have a life like other girls I couldn't give you that. Your father always told me that you will grow up as a courageous girl like him and sure he is right. He did everything he could in order to protect us and the people but I've done nothing in return for him. Life is about sacrificing but I do not want you to sacrifice anymore. Mother is begging you to leave the state now, don't sit for the examination because we have been fooled. I married the man who killed my husband brutally and I cannot forgive myself for doing it. You lost your father, your brother and your best friend same as that many other people lost their loved ones because of him, because of his greed. I don't know whether what I'm going to do will end this or not but I decided to take back for your father, for the love he ga
Looking around cautiously WanKe picks up few stones from the ground which is coated by snow, she reaches up to the wall hanging onto it she throws the stones harder hitting on the wall making noise. WanKe sneaked out of the house after ChengLi left as he didn't allow her to leave without him , she put an act like being in deep slumber and it was successful according to her plan. Everything in her mind right now is to destroy Lord Wen in her own hands.The sound coming from the back yard of the mansion distracts the guards close by, leaving their spot the two guards by the kitchen marches to the back yard to check on it. WanKe lowers her body hiding her figure behind the wall peeping up slowly taking a look at them like a tiger hiding its self behind trees when hunting its prey. She watches them checking around until they arrive to the spot where expect them both to be, the layer of snow over the wall showers down when she leans over the bricks and jumps forward her feet landi
Sitting on her knees on the bare cold ground her eyes never leaving the stone in which Henyu's name is scarped on it. She never moves when she felt warmth of human skin on her right shoulder nor she looked up to see who it is as she knew who it will be."How long are you going to stay here?," ChengLi asks softly, he lets out a low sigh when WanKe remains silent "It will snow soon," he scouts down beside her."I want to be alone for a while," she finally replies her voice soft, almost fragile, as if it and her heart would break at any minute. Perhaps her heart was already broken.ChengLi glances at the grave and back at WanKe who's eyes never left the spot, standing up he taps on her shoulder "Be quick," he requests his voice breaking, passing her another glance he walks away worried about her.The environment captures silence where only the sound of the harsh wind is playing in the background, she blinks her eyes when the cold air stung her face. Sh
Spreading his legs ChengLi's eyes darts in all directions to capture a glimpse of the position of the soldiers around him, he cuts a path of blood in the field slicing through the weak brittle armour. Stepping aside he quickly slides forward and cuts at the arm of a soldier who ran forward to attack him. Pushing the spears away with his sword he stabs him making the blood whoosh out flowing to the white stones on the ground of the yard.FengLei backs away and assumes their stance, taking the offensive he feints an over head stab at the person in front of him making him fall over instantly."ChengLi," HenYu screams when his eyes catches a soldier throwing his spear to the direction where ChengLi is busy with the ones in front of him, HenYu jumps forward as there were no much distance between them as ChengLi tries to cover up HenYu who was about to be defeated.HenYu pushes ChengLi to a side, he tries to move away but his body stiffens when he feels the cold b
(WanKe/XingXing is addressed as SHE)Third Person P.O.VShe falls forward on his chest still standing in his hold. Holding her head Feng Lei bends a little low and lifts her legs away from the floor carrying her bridal style, his eyes fixed on her face his every single part of the body not willing to move away from her. Walking slowly towards the room he places her on the bed, taking the folded bedsheet he spreads it on her body as the weather is getting cold."Everything will be over," he says lifting his left leg he places his knee on the wooden edge and places his hands on the either side of her head leaning over his arms he moves a little closer looking down at WanKe."I want to give you a better place," he speaks in a low voice "When everything is over," lowering his body he leaves a decent distance between them "Let's get marriage," the corners of his lips twitches up a little to a slight smile, moving his down he places a kiss on her forehead
Wanke's P.O.VTaking the sliced meat I put in my mouth longing for the flavours, it's been a while having a good appetite. Placing the chopsticks on the table I close my eyes inhaling a deep breath I lift my eyelids to face both of them who are seated opposite to me their eyes never leaving me which makes me awkward to eat.Yesterday Feng Lei hurried back after the exam informing me that the people of Wen Kingdom are looking for me therefore we moved to a house in the woods which is Henyu's uncle's place, their holiday to the village made the situation easier."Alright, ask me," I lean forward expecting a list of questions from them."What?," HenYu asks curiously."Ask what you all have in your mind. I really cannot eat when you both are staring at me,""What questions?," ChengLi smiles."Fine," I sneer and continue to eat ignoring their stare."I still cannot believe that you are girl," ChengLi blurts examining me
Feng Lei rushes to the house of Jin as soon as the exam is over his heart pounding, rushing upstairs to the private room he stands by the door a weird kind of feeling arising in him when his eyes caught WanKe who is sitting on the bed looking around his expression showing that he is curious of what happened."You are awake," Feng Lei utters his lips twitches up without his intention, he rushes towards WanKe and cups his face with both hands "I was worried," moving closer he places his lips on his forehead."I'm glad that you're awake all were worried about you," he looks down at him his heart clenches when he sees his tearful eyes, he goes to speak but stops when WanKe hugs him abruptly resting his head on his chest staring at an empty space."The one who killed your sister is...,""I know,""How?," His voice comes out low like asking himself, he blinks when his eyes get itchy letting the tears which blurred his vision to flow down his cheeks
Wanke's absence made Feng Lei worry like hell, his eyes never left the entrance of the classroom during the exam expecting to see WanKe appear. In the morning before the exam Feng Lei visited the Wen kingdom mansion but the guards did not let him in, they told him that WanKe is feeling sick and taking rest. He never believed their words as being sick won't be an excuse for him to skip the exam because he has been living for this specific day.Feng Lei walks out of the classroom when the exam is over his mind captured in the thought of WanKe. He has not been practicing for the next day's physical tests as his heart and mind is not with him."Why isn't WanKe back?," HenYu matches FengLei's steps walking beside him in the school yard "It's almost two days and he is not back yet, I'm afraid," the last two words comes out in a low voice worried."I looked for him in the mansion,""And then, was he there?,""I was not even let in, the guards by the
"WanKe here is your band," Feng Lei stops him bringing the band forward."I got to go," WanKe stops before he could keep a step forward when Feng Lei holds his hand, turning around he faces him."What do you mean?," Feng Lei asks his voice sounding stern."I need to go," he wriggles his hand to loosen the grip which cannot be pulled of."There is nothing important more this, You have spent all your life for this moment,""Feng Lei," he stops his actions of removing his hand and looks at him "I wish I could explain but I have to go," he explains pulling his hand off his grip vigorously."Wasn't it your brother's dream," Feng Lei grunts loosing his patience he holds his hand again worrying about what WanKe is going to do. He doesn't want him to regret his move at this moment as he has been living a complicated life all this while just for this moment "What is more important than your dream?," He questions his eyes digging into him."You
