| The end marks a new chapter in our life |
It didn't take too long for him to arrive, through the flash from my phone, I took a shawl on me and went downstairs to meet him.
He was clad in a simple hooded jacket and a denim jeans. His face was obscure from his hat and glasses, he suddenly leaned forward as I unconsciously snake my hands around his neck and tiptoe for a kiss.
Since everyone knew about our relationship, we can at least do this, I mean there's no people and all-
"Hey, focus on me" Ming Chen pouted as he looked at me grievously.
I chuckled softly at his immature act and peppered him with kisses. Of course this rogue would take advantage of it and kissed me deeply until my lips feel sore and head dizzy from lack of breath.
He pecked my lips for the last time and tugged me inside my home. Thankfully, my parents aren't here to witness our... actions and therefore, I was a bit... uneasy.
"So...." I started of with an awkward glance and immediately avoid his heated gaze.
This rogue! How can he think of vulgar things! It's too early- I mean yes it's already night but what I mean is that he's moving too fast!
"Well, well, well, it seems like my Feng-er was a bit lonely and so she called me for company, eh?" He teased and I pounded my fist on his chest making him chuckle deeply.
"I'm just... I wanted to ask you about... you know?"
"You know? So you know what I know and what I want to do now?" He asked with a roguish grin that made every hair in my skin get up.
I pinched the part between my eyes and eyes him hatefully. Just be thankful that there's a pillow between us or else I would have smack him in his face.
"Anyways... back to the topic" I glared at his annoying smile and continued. "Are... I mean are you sure now? Because I am and I want-"
I was cut off when Ming Chen suddenly leaped from my side and held my shoulders with his hands. He have this crazed and relieved look on his face and I was perplexed about his expression when he uttered his words.
"You're sure?! Really?! Are you really, really sure?! You're not... I mean you don't hate it?"
"Hate it?! No! Why would I... I mean I hated the thought of it back then but now..." I trailed off, his eyes were filled with glee and expectations that I couldn't help but giggle.
"Hey! Tell me Feng-er, you're killing me!" He groaned and burrowed his head on my neck.
I wove my fingers on his smooth and silky hair, it was so ft to the touch and the smell of lemon permeates in his head. Then I continued, my tone soft as I continued brushing his hair gently.
"Before you came and made a very surprising visit, I had already decided that I would... you know? Make our r-relationship public"
I can feel his smile on my shoulder and as soon as I was about to lift his face, he snaked his hands on my waist and pressed a kiss on my forehead.
"Thank you.... f*ck, I think I'm going to cry" he said and as soon as his words finished, lonesome tear fell from his eyes that he quickly wiped down.
I wasn't able to digest his surprising action and he was soon kissing my lips deeply. Skin upon skin met, our breaths intermingled with one another and the smell of love blossomed in the air.
I realized the fact that he was so patient, so accommodating to me and that I'm not the only person who wants our relationship to last for a very long time.
He was a player, in his eyes he had met hundreds of blooming and delicate flowers, his lips have tasted fine wine and held the smoothest and softest skin but here he is now. Settling down with a normal person, a woman who had nothing to do about fame and power, just leading a simple life.
As distance tests a horse's strength, time reveals a person's character. You really can't judge him now especially the changes that he had experience in our relationship. Of course it isn't just him that had changed, I had also change.
I didn't know who started this fire but there's one thing that's sure, the rice had already cooked and there's nothing that can shake our relationship, we won't let anyone shake it.
...
"Hao Ming Chen! I'm going to kill you!" I shouted from the top of my lungs.
It's already been a year and two months since our relationship was gone public. Though it didn't actually made my life more exhausting, it still is an apparent problem to me, especially in the first months.
Goodness, those first three months were like the longest time in my life. Countless media outlets have reached out for me and even to the people that know me. It was pure chaos and I was tempted to kill Ming Chen at that time but held it back.
He had also suffered from it, though it wasn't like anything like mine, he was always teased in the film production and the set. Of course he is a very shameless person and to that, this kind of thing didn't bother him, instead he basked on their teasing and praises that his head had almost reach the sky.
I was also dubbed as the person who managed to tame the player and that was something that always made me laugh and of course, a bit proud.
Ping Ling's wedding was also.... quite eventful since I attended, of course he, Ming Chen would also attend. That caused a massive onlookers to go to the wedding venue uninvited and some reporters had even camped out on the venue. I was just simply horrified though it was made worse by Ming Chen who uploaded a picture of me with Ping Ling's bouquet and posted it in his social media with a caption:
This is my future wife, please be nice to her!
I almost swooned in anger and kick him in his leg, it was a very painful one and I guarantee it. So whenever I go outside, there would be some strangers and even elderly that would come up to me and ask 'How's the married life?' I always choke in response and had grew numb from that.
I walk up to his sleeping figure, ha! He dares, he actually dares to sleep when he's in trouble!
He's in big trouble, a very big one and I can't wait to skin him alive and feed his bones to the sharks!
"Get up! Ming Chen you wake up!" I screamed and pulled the covers out of him.
We're currently living together, he bought this place five months ago and asked me to live with him. Though my parents were a bit reluctant, he was shameless enough to do it. He had even begged my parents with his knees down and kowtow in front of them and asked me to live with him.
Of course I said yes, I mean how could I not? It's the 21st century, I mean there's a lot of couples who live together and this place is also just a ten minute drive away from my work.
But now I regret it, I regret to live with this rogue, sly bastard!
"Hao Ming Chen!" I repeated, my face burning in rage.
He groaned and opened his eyes, after seeing my face, he smiled and peck me on my lips before sleeping again.
I was enraged, I was fuming from his unconscious actions and throw the test stick in front of his face.
Then I proceed to tackle him in his sleep and pummel his face with a pillow, my intention of killing him was leaking all over my body and there's nothing that can stop me.
I was angry, confused but mostly mad since I have already checked and confirmed my thoughts.
I am late.
Notes:
• As distance tests a horse's strength, time reveals a person's character, from the anonymous work "Fight Gratitude of the Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368), when Mongol horsemen ruled China, this saying tells us that a long period of testing is needed to understand someone's nature and capabilities.
• The rice is cooked, a proverb, it means that things are too late now to do anything about them.
• Kowtow, it means to kneel and touch the ground with the forehead in worship or submission as part of Chinese custom.
