Xing who was pulled back to her own body felt like wanting to puke her guts out the moment she woke up. But what she saw surprised her more and her nauseating sensation vanished immediately.
The moment she got her senses back, she felt a stinging pain in her entire body and she realised she is still in Chenglei's warm embrace as she expected. Her man wouldn't have just let her go and it brought a smile to her lips.
And as she squinted her eyes to look at Chenglei, she saw that deep pool of glassy emerald eyes which was surrounded by an awful dark circle, looking at her with her with extreme joy, surprise and relief all at the same time.
"Xing!", his thin lips that started to curl upwards called her name as if it is the sweetest thing in the world.
"My Xing! I'm glad",
He whispered in her ears hugging her close to him. His voice that was always gentler than the breeze that touches the buds of the Jasmine in the evening, didn't fail to make her heart bloom with happiness as usual.
How could him just calling my name seems like the greatest song ever written in the history of mortals and why does it never fails to move my heart?
"My Prince!"
Xing still on the floor in Chenglei's embrace, uttered with her voice uplifting as the song of the gentle bird that would lift one's spirit up.
I've settled everything, my Prince! Finally! We are free to be together as we both wished for... But why do you look so haggard? Did I scare you? I'm sorry! But no more... No more of this!
Before she knew it a teardrop rolled out from the corner of her eyes. Not a tear of resentment or a tear of sorrow but a tear of hope, a tear of joy! The tear that containes her future hopes!
She stretched her hand towards her man's cheek that gleamed in a beautiful hue of red as it reflected the setting rays of sun.
The sunset that would be the beginning of their new life together! The end of the day that would mark the beginning of their life together!
Xing in her joy didn't realise the god of fire standing behind her with a sneer in her face or the Emperor who stood beside her or her best friend standing near her foot.
Nor did she care for the ancestor who was held back by the prince of another realm with a complicated emotion, holding him back as he looked like he'd bite the head off anyone who gets five feet near him and screaming profanities against her man and also the god of fire who cheated the one who is currently holding his last descendant in his arms.
But before her hands get to touch that weary cheek that had stubble blatantly visible, she could see the man she'd been thinking as hers for the better part of her life, looking at her with a frown in between his eyes.
Xing thought she was seeing wrong and proceeded to touch him but she only felt a worse pain in her hand as she was gripped hard by the man who always looked handsome and ethereal in her eyes.
"Pss", she hissed in pain, "What are you doing, Chenglei?", she wanted to ask but before she could say anything, that man threw her hands away and it fell on the ground as she didn't expect him to act this way.
She would never expect him to act this way... Why would she? He was the only man who always treated her gently... Like a girl! Like his girl! Or at least ... The only man she let to treat her gently.
Xing's hand fell on the floor with the top of her fingers hitting hard on the floor and a sharp pain rose from the tip of her fingers and soon it became numb.
Before she could realise what was going on, as she was looking at his eyes, the gentleness in his eyes that always comforted her was replaced by coldness... Bone clentching coldness that sent a shiver right through her soul.
And before she could confirm that he is looking at her coldly, she was pushed to the floor as if she was a dirtied rag.
"Who are you, woman?", he roared, the gentleness in his voice long gone as if she'd dreamed it.
A dream..... Right! This should be a dream!
Xing who was pushed to the floor stood up amist the throbbing pain in her body, especially her back that stinged like someone peeled her skin off and rubbed salt in the wound.
Is it not a dream?
There is no way the one in front of her standing up tall who looks extremely identical to her man would be looking at her with pure, unadulterated coldness and hatred as if she means nothing to him.
There is just no way!
"Chenglei! ", she called his name, the name only she was allowed to call... The name no one else would dare to call.... "You are scaring me", her words refused to come out as her throat hurt holding down the tears that were threatening to come out and she reached for his sleeves as he tried to turn to leave.

She heard someone threatening a god and another couple of familiar voices expressing their happiness that she is back...
Back? Didn't I go away for just some minutes? Did they think I was dead?
She heard a certain god sneering behind her saying "So it worked!",
What worked? Whatever!
As usual, Xing didn't focus on the mindless voices around her and only focused on her man, as she has done always.
Before she could get a hold of his sleeves a cold voice as if it was from the depth of abyss or from the tip of a snow capped mountain came, that froze her soul,
"Woman! Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Who are you...? Did I just hear right? He asked me who am I...? Why..? Why would he ask that? No, he is playing a game with me... That must be the case... I scared him making him think that I was dead, so he is now retaliating....
" Chenglei! ", she tried to speak in her usual childish way but that frozen body of hers and her lips trembling out of fear of losing him made it impossible and it made her speech looked like that of an annoying pest in his eyes... That's how he looked at her... Like a pest that irked him... Like she was that one mosquito that would ring in your ears in the middle of the night keeping you awake...
"Stop calling me by that name!", he pushed her back and Xing who still couldn't get head or tails of this situation still took a step forward towards him.. That's all she knew... Chasing him... Walking towards him... Trying to catch up to him... Her Prince! Her wonderful Prince!
He must be really angry at me for scaring him.!
"Chenglei", she called her again. "Stop doing this to me...", she gasped as the tears she was holding back held her lungs from breathing but her body knew to live and acted on its own by getting more air for her to live.
" You are scaring me!", her voice, her body, her soul and her entire being shook in despair.
Why? Just why?
The man who'd turned by now bent suddenly and as he turned back, he'd picked up the dagger he always hid in his shoes.
"I told you not to call me by that name, you filth!", he waved that dagger at her and it tore her clothes just above the scar he already gave her.
The man glared at her not knowing that he didn't just tore her clothes but he has shredded ehr heart to pieces.
"Brother Lei!"
"Brother!"
The two of the brothers he really liked screamed at the top of their lungs.
Filth! Filth..?
But Xing.... She only felt her knees going week too. And she could not hold her tears anymore as it stared running... Like pearls on her pale and despaired face that easily showed the excruciating pain she felt.
The man waved that dagger at her, "Don't..."
Xing would swear on her everything... Her everything was always him... So she could swear on his life that she could see his eyes flickered out of his coldness to gentleness for a split second before switching back to coldness.
Or was she wrong? Like when she was wrong that there won't come a day where he'd treat her like he'd treat any other woman?
"Tsk! What a bother!", he clicked his tongue with annoyance as he saw the petite looking figure bawling her eyes out and turned back to leave.
Right! He hated crying women! And women in general... Only she was the exception till now!
For some reason Xing felt like if she let him leave now, she won't be able to meet him again. So she clutched his back closer to her heart as hard as she could.
Please! Don't leave... Please! Please! Don't leave me!
The warm hug and the gentle tone that would affirm her everytime she was distressed never came... All Xing felt was a very sharp pain in her foot as the man was stomping on her feet to get her off his back.
His back.... That still has the scars he accepted to protect her from a nasty man... That still has the slight markings dug by her fingernails on their intimate act meant for married couples, only a couple months back.... His back that protected her against a raging god in the library...
His back that seemed to have no place for her anymore...
Xing felt her entire body shake by the pain from her foot.. The man who carried her around to not hurt her foot is now stomping on it mercilessly! What changed?
But she had resolve! Resolve that made her get through everything solely thinking of the days she'd spend with him happily...
She didn't budge... The pain in her foot only got increased as his force on her feet only multiplied.
"Xing! Just let him go!", shouted Haru who couldn't bear to see her getting hurt.
But she didn't... Her grip on his back only tightened and so did the pain in her feet.
Could she have stopped him from hurting her and still hold onto him? Absolutely, yes!
Could she think of it? Absolutely no!
She forgot... She forgot who she was!
She was the one who fought hundreds of trained men in the Battlefield... She was the one who stood in front of a god and got a river to change its direction... She was the one who stood alone and sank a fleet of a strong navy... She is also the same one every god knelt, saying that she was their Prince!
Yep! She forgot... She forgot she was the divine ruler... She forgot she's the Prince of Heavens...
In her heart, she was always a girl... A little poor girl who chased behind a Prince... Someone above her, Better than her, lovelier than her and the one who loved her more than she loved herself.
She was always a meek girl in love in front of him!
Sadly her body wasn't that strong as her heart... She was a girl, after all!
