Chapter 43: She Has Secrets She Kept from Him?
Xing looked at Shengli looking at her with his usual expression of affection ,
"What am I asking? I’m definitely weird. I’m even more weirder than before. The other day I rolled out of bed but didn’t hurt myself because I was hovering over the floor. I didn’t know I can float in air before. What will I do if you got scared of me too? Will you abandon me? You’ll prefer someone normal too, right? I’m too much of a bother, not worthy of you.. ", she buried her face in the table.
The last thing she would want in her life is him leaving her.
Shengli looked at Xing who was drunk and being honest and he could not understand her. She has all those amazing powers and why is she feeling as a lesser person? She is the best among the best in everything she does and who can be compared or hold a candle to her? Even he is a step lower in all aspects compared to her.
As far as he knew she was always confident in herself and had the don’t care attitude but why is she feeling this way now? Was it because she grew up without a father or a strong background and her confidence was just a facade to protect herself? She always smiled and seemed happy because she never wanted her mother to feel bad, right? Now that she had found a place she belongs, she freely shows her insecurities?
Then it dawned on him...She tells her worries only to me! She only talks non stop about everything to me and me only. And what am I doing? I am ashamed of myself and hiding my past from her making her feel more insecure!
"Xing! I’m the one not worthy of you", he patted her head and she looked at him. He cupped her cheeks,
"My moon! You are what you are. I don’t care what you can or cannot do and what others say about you. I love every part of you the same. And abandoning you? Like I can! This life and in all other lives I will only want you and only love you", he said with his eyes misty.
Xing saw the honesty in his eyes and was happy. "That’s enough for me!", she said and started to eat the food. As long as you are by my side I can do anything and handle every problem!
" That place had a spirit hanging in there to that white dragon thingy - A young girl and she was staring at General Zhong", Xing said suddenly.
"Oh!", he paused. She can see spirits.. Why am I not surprised? " Those interiors were my Imperial father’s preference and looks like my brother didn’t change it." So that’s why you asked the Emperor to throw everything out?"
"Hmm!" Xing nodded and she saw the slight mocking smile in Shengli’s lips, "You know who that is?"
