Chapter 356: She Ran Away
What should I give to be left alone?
Xing wondered realising that it was Mazu’s doing that the ships aren’t moving.
I don’t want to visit her palace and so I didn’t and now since I have a business in the seas, she is telling me unless I visit her palace, I cannot get on with my business?
Why am I being coerced?
How long will I be forced to do things I wish not to do? True, if I want, I could use my powers and push all the ships to move but I’ve promised myself not to use my powers...
Why is that I have to always give something up to get something? Why can’t I just have a peaceful life living the way I want, doing what I want to do?
Xing started to have a splitting headache as she was in her thoughts. If it was before, the man in front of her would have hugged her and made her feel better but now.... Well! It can’t be expected and she just wanted to go to bed and take a nap.
She didn’t want to give in to the wishes of others and just take a nap. She felt tired.... Too tired to do anything.
Chenglei noticed her staring into the horizon with her eyes filled with sorrow. There wasn’t even a little bit of wind and the humidity made her sweat a bit along her hairline and it glistened in the sunlight but the sadness in her eyes overwhelmed her ethereal beauty making her look desolate. He couldn’t understand why he hated it when she had that look on her face. He didn’t know if he hated her for not sharing her sorrow with him or he loathed himself for his inability to help her but he did not like that look on her.
"Do my hair", he said gripping her wrist and tried bringing her inside. He wanted to distract her. If she was his’ entirely, he’d have hugged her and comforted her but sadly... She is not and this is the best he could do to make her feel less sad.
"You’ve been doing it yourself till now... Why are you asking me?", Xing looked at him showing her his back steadily moving forward without considering her and couldn’t understand what’s with him these days. He’s getting more and more mysterious and like before she could not figure him out and that added to her list of sorrows.
Did he change in the past three years? Why is he trying to drag me too?
