Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 18 - A Chance To Our Relationship.

Xie Ming slowly opened her eyes when Liwei's anxious face came into her sight. He was calling her name and was looking at her worriedly.

When she finally opened her eyes, he sighed in relief and asked, " Are you okay? Did you have a bad dream? Or are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked a series of questions to her.

He got really worried when he saw her pale face and her struggles while sleeping. The state she was in right now was very vulnerable with her dry chapped lips, messy hair and she was drenched in sweat.

Xie Ming fluttered her eyes at him when he asked her lots of questions and dazedly looked at him.

When she saw the worried expression on his face, she felt touched and thankful that he was there to pull her out of the darkness. If it wasn't for his voice she might have not come back.

She felt like he was her savior today. If it wasn't for him she might get stuck into that frightening darkness.

She was in a daze and reached out her hand and slightly touched his face which her trembling cold hands and called him in a low raspy voice, " Liwei."

When Xie Ming's cold hand came in contact with Liwei's skin he shivered a little because of her cold hands.

Liwei was surprised to hear his name from her mouth which ring like music to his ears. Though her voice at this moment was hoarse due to dehydration but her voice was mellow to his ears.

It felt pleasingly strange to hear his name from her mouth. It was the first time that she had called him in that way with the gentle and loving expression in her eyes.

She just woke up from a? dream which felt real and she was unable to distinguish between dreams with reality.

She was still confused about this all 'transmigration thing' was a dream but when she saw his face she understood that it's real'.

Seeing her vulnerable state Liwei suddenly pulled her into his embrace.

At first, she was stunned but she also wrapped her arms around his waist, accepting the reality.

' I think it's high time that I should accept this unbelievable reality. I am not the Empress of the Ji Dynasty and the wife of Ji Cheng anymore. I am Xie Ming, the wife of Jin Liwei.'

'I had to try my best to accept this reality and move on with this new identity. It's not in my control to go back or to come in this world, but the only thing I can do is to live well.' many thoughts wandered in her mind while she was in his embrace.

Seeing her into his embrace, Liwei's lips curled up in a smile, he patted her back as if assuring her that he was there.

After the conversation that he had with her downstairs and the first kiss that they shared, Liwei felt a lot closer and attached to her.

He felt that all this while he had misunderstood her and wants to know her more and wants to give another chance to this hopeless marriage.

The Xie Ming after waking up from the coma was more mature and understanding. He felt more comfortable and closer to when talking to her.

They stayed in this position for a while, then Ming pulled herself and looked at him with hesitant and said, " Liwei, I.. I got my memories back."

Liwei was stunned when he heard her words. But he didn't say anything and wanted her to speak her mind.

" I know that we've decided to divorce after my memories were back". Before she could complete her sentence Liwei interrupted her.

" You want to divorce me?" his expression was cold and also alarmed because she wants a divorce him when he was starting to feel for her.

She looked at him with her gentle and hesitant gaze and said, " I don't want to."

Her head was hung down as those words got out of her mouth.

Hesitantly she spoke, " I don't want a divorce but I know that we have decided to sign a divorce after my memories come back. "

"And in the past, I have embarrassed you and thrown tantrums for no reason. You might have found me rude and mean but Liwei, I am not the same Xie Ming. People change and especially after experiencing life and death situations, I have changed. And somehow I don't see you anymore in the same light as well."

" After talking to you I realized that I had the wrong perspective about you. Liwei, I want to start anew. I want to give a chance to our broken relationship."

" Before taking a divorce I want us to give our best efforts to fix this relationship. Do you think the same?"

"If you don't, I can sign divorce papers right now, and would never disturb you again. And if you don't want to divorce me because of my condition, you don't have to worry. I am not that weak. I will handle that myself. You should just consider your feelings while taking this decision, I don't want to be in a one-sided relationship again. " she was staring right into his eyes while she spoke to her mind.

At this moment, she was ready to hear his rejection and was wondering how will she live in this strange unfamiliar world without him.

But now she has spoken the words so there is no chance to go back. She could only curse her bad luck if he rejects her at this moment.

Liwei didn't say anything and looked at her intently. Xie Ming was confused when he didn't say anything.

She was getting worried about why he wasn't speaking. She opened her mouth to speak, " Liwei why...Ahmm"

The moment she opened her lips to speak, he leaned in and sealed her dry chapped lips with his moist lips and gently nibble on her lips.

Xie Ming was stunned when he suddenly kissed him. Her eyes were wide open and she could see his long eyelashes from close.

Her whole body felt like she was burning.

Liwei stopped in the kiss and slightly opens his eyes but he didn't part his lips away. His lips were touching her lips and said in a low hoarse voice, " Close your eyes. You're looking scary this way." he got startled when he opened his eyes and saw her staring at him with her wide eyes from close.

It feels weird to kiss someone with their eyes closed like this. Though her reaction was adorable to him but he wanted her to enjoy this moment as he was doing.

Xie Ming blinked her eyes and closed her eyes as he told her and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

She decided to let go of all the uncomfortable feelings in her heart and wanted to accept this reality.

After a while, Liwei broke the kiss and looked into her eyes, and said:" Now you got my answer?" he said with a mysterious smile on his face.

She rolled her eyes at him and blinked her eyes in confusion.

Liwei chuckled seeing the confused look on her face and flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "STUPID! I am Jin Liwei. I won't kiss any girl just like that. My kiss is not just a simple kiss."

" It contains promise and my answer that I want to give a chance to our relationship. And one more thing, you don't need to think about the past. I don't like you before that's why I behaved like that. But now I have started to feel something for you, from the moment you wake up from the coma."

" I don't know if it is love or not but it's a feeling that I never had. And I want to give us a new start. And this kiss was confirmation for our new start. " he said as he looked at her intently.

When Xie Ming heard his words, a smile appeared on her face and thought, ' It's really a new start.'
