Chapter 127 - 125. Drunk Talk II (1/2)

Third person POV

Meiyun closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek on his warm hand, she loves the warmness of his hands despite the roughness of the calluses that he gained from holding sword. She wanted to enjoy this moment as much as she could while she's still alive. Di Shang's heart was beating so fast, his mind was wandering around hoping that he still has a chance to make Meiyun his.

Meiyun: ” Thank you for treating me like a woman, it is a first time for me. Thank you for being so kind and tender to someone unlady-like woman like me. I'm sorry that you have to look and touch my ugly and full of scars face, it must be hard for you. I will quickly go away from your sight but please let me feel this tenderness that I won't ever feel again.”

Tears kept streaming down from her eyes to his hand. He clenched his hand and pulled her to his embrace. He hugged her tightly like he didn't want to let her go. His hand was caressing her soft and straight hair, he buried his face onto her neck crook, inhaling her gentle scent.

Di Shang: ” I won't let you go, you are not going anywhere. Stay here with me, I will give all my love for you so please don't loathe yourself like that.”

Meiyun hugged back tightly.

Meiyun: ” But I'm not as strong as you see.”

Di Shang: ” Then I will protect you.”

Meiyun: ” I'm not lady-like at all.”

Di Shang: ” That part of you is cute.”

Meiyun: ” I'm not as beautiful as my sister or my Young Miss.”

Di Shang: ” To me, you are the most beautiful woman that I ever met.”

Meiyun: ” I will complain a lot when I'm angry.”

Di Shang: ” I will listen to everything.”

Meiyun: ” Please…. Don't make me fall for you.”

Di Shang: ” Why?”

Meiyun was silent for a while before she parted her lips.

Meiyun: ” Falling in love isn't as fun as I heard it was supposed to be. It hurts, it hurts so much that even if I punched my chest, the pain won't go away. I thought that we will at least be friends but he won't even spare me a glance. Even after I protected his life, he still didn't trust me. He thought that I was a threat, he never apologize to me even after knowing the truth, rather than that, he said that he didn't like a tomboy woman like me. Did he have to be that cruel to me?! Did he even know why I am like this?!”

Meiyun's breath hitched as she cried her heart out.

Meiyun: ” I just wanted to protect what is important to me. I acted tough and careless, always be happy go lucky but did he know that the nightmare of me getting tortured and assaulted in that dark room haunted me each night? I just wanted to be loved, is it too egoistic for me to ask him to love me back?”

Di Shang's knuckles turned white from gripping too hard.

Di Shang: ” You have done more than enough, now it is time for you to rest.”

Meiyun: ” Can I? What if the enemy attacks us when I sleep?”

Di Shang: ” It is okay, I will protect all of us.”

Meiyun: ” En… Thank you…. Thank you….”

Meiyun's eyelid slowly closes as she fell into a deep sleep for the first time in the last 16 years. Di Shang didn't stop caressing her hair, he glanced at Naran who was wiping her own tears.

Naran: ” Take a good care of her. Even though I don't know what happened to her but I know that she had suffered so much in the past and now. Poor girl.”

Di Shang: ” En. Mother, lend me a carriage.”

Naran: ” Just go and take one.”

Di Shang: ” En, then I excuse myself.”

Di Shang stood up with Meiyun in his arms, he tried hard to not wake her from her sleep as he went back to his own residence.
