"You seem pretty enthusiastic! So who are those "friends" of yours? ", Chenglei asked fixing her bangs that his her eyes from his view. Her eyes really had a magnetic quality to it and it shined like the stars in the sky.
" Must be the dragons from the other two kingdoms. So is Kouki coming too? You would have met them previously, right?", she asked back.
"No, I haven't", he looked at the sky and closing his eyes took a deep breath. He really wanted to hug her close to his heart and kiss her.
"You haven't? I thought Kouki would have brought you with him when he met them. That aside, You'll be surprised to see the Water Emperor; mind you. I cannot wait to meet Yukiko and Ayane. I don't know if she got together with Yi Kwan. I really cannot wait!", she went on rambling.
" What's with your naming anyway? Kouki, Haru... What's the other..? Aya.. ", he was a little jealous that she has these pet names for others when she always called him Lord Li.
" It's Ayane... I just like to call them that way. They are my friends... So I give them my own names since I cannot call most of them by their real names anyway", Xing leaned on the railing on her back and looked at Chenglei. The moonshine glistened on his face and made him look ethereal. He always glowed in moonlight.
How handsome is my man!
"Real names?", he asked with a hint of excitement , "You've never addressed anyone of them by their given names?
"No... Not that I think of", she jumped and sat on the railing and her sudden action startled him and he held her around the waist by instinct.
"Careful!", he said and his face was filled with mirth remembering she casually called him Chenglei at times.
So she has no problem addressing me by my given name? He was pleased.
"How did I miss you?", he wondered looking at her face inches away from his. Her thighs were touching his waist as his arms were around hers making them both warm, "You were AoTian's daughter and became the Empress. How could I have not known you? If I'd have known you before, I'd have given my everything and made you my wife! "
"What?", she asked as he was staring at her with swirling emotions in his face.
" How do you know about me?", he asked. She said she knows everything about him but he doesn't. How could that be?
"I stalked you!", Xing who was stunned for a moment about his question answered with a dry smile. Will you remember if I say the truth?
"Stalked me? Since when?", his face was filled with anticipation.
"Since I was six... You were twelve then... I saw you in a carriage in your white robes and silver hairpin and you fought assassins...You looked so handsome, I thought you were someone from the heavenly realm and I fell for you at first sight. I've been stalking you ever since ", Xing's grip on the railings tightened as she was nervous if he'd believe this.
Her expectant eyes looked at his perplexed eyes for a whole minute that seemed like an entire eternity for her. The crickets chirped in the grass and the fish in the water nearby made ripples on the surface of the water creating a gentle bubbling noise.
She told him previously the same thing and he believed her. But will he now?
"Pfft!", Chenglei laughed and that ended up as a stab in her heart, "JiaXing! You almost got me",he chuckled some more and there seemed to be a subtle sense of dejection in his laugh too.
She is so cruel, making me think for a moment that the one in her heart is me!
"But I should commend you for your knowledge about me. I was indeed in an Assassination attempt when I was twelve", he turned and sat beside her with his shoulder rubbing in hers.
"What happened next?", Xing had to use the last bit of strength she had to move past him taking her truths as a joke.
"I was with a nice lady who took good care of me for almost a year... Ah! How did I forget? Her name was also Táng. It was Táng MingLing. Is she related to you? Is that why you know about the assassination attempt? And I met Lord Ming back then. I thought we were pretty close but suddenly he became distant... ", he nudged her shoulder with his shoulder and continued on with his narrative but Xing who felt all her strength gone, lost her balance and slipped from the railings.
So he even remembers my mother? But not me? He remembers living in my home but he has no recollection of me who stayed with him the whole time?

"Xing!", he cried and Xing heard the same despaired voice she has heard in the past, plenty of times that would be filled with the worry and concern he had for her.
She felt the same arms wrapping around her and the same eyes looking at her with the same concern she had known for years and what she's used to.
But am I just projecting? Is the Chenglei I loved even in there anymore?
"Be careful, woman", he hugged her and she could hear his heartbeat being erratic. Is he worried about me? Did he think that me falling ten feet down into a ten feet deep pool, will hurt me?
"I'll rest now, Lord Li... I'm tired", she excused herself. She really was tired. Too tired to think about anything.
"I'll send for you tomorrow. We'll welcome the guests together as asked by my brother",he gently rubbed her back after he walked her back to her courtyard. His attempts to bring her back to his Manor for the night failed and he felt dejected.
His hear sank as he walked back contemplating, "Why can't what she said about falling in love with me at first sight be true?"

Next day, Xing was informed there was a carriage waiting for her early in the morning and she sighed and informed the carriage to go back and inform Chenglei that she'll be there after lunch when the boat will arrive. But she saw the carriage driver still not willing to leave.
He must have been instructed by Chenglei to not return without her. This overbearing Chenglei was new to her but him being that way was not that surprising either.
Xing left the driver to wait and joined Haru for breakfast and told him about Takanashi and his plans to take over the three kingdoms. She also told Haru about his connection with the one from the Fox clan of the demon realm and asked him to be careful.
Xing had already asked Bai Li to protect her family and she also made new charms for everyone in the Ming household to protect them from demons. She knew Zhu Rong won't be of much help even though she had a deal with her since she could easily shrug it off as she didn't want to be involved with the demon realm.
Xing knew things will escalate from now on regarding the issues with Takanashi and left Baobei with Haru in case someone would get him to get back at her.
What she didn't expect was that after she left the West this time, she'd go through a series of events that were filled with utter despairs and pleasant surprises and she ended up having the wedding she always wanted but the marriage that followed her wedding was not as she expected.
