Just A Step Away From You

CHAPTER XIII: An Ordinary Person and A Prince (END)

"No, I want to be by your side." An Ziyan then kissed Mai Ding on his lips and hugged him tightly, one arm on his head and the other on his waist.

"If you're still worried about my memories then all you have to do is be irritating like you were before."

"What are you..." Mai Ding was dizzy because of the kiss and realized that An Ziyan was being like the way he was before... all of a sudden Mai Ding grasped what's happening and began to cry on his lover's arms not wanting to let go.

An Ziyan, you! I hate you, so childish, I loathe you!" But all An Ziyan could do was laugh at his lover for being ridiculously adorable.

"Yeah, I'm back." he hugs Mai Ding tightly and kissed his forehead with utmost gentleness.

***

Mai Ding comprehend that An Suo faked An Ziyan's medical records in order to give up once and for all. They were still at the hill sitting at one fraction of the wall.

"Let's wait the sunset before we go." An Ziyan says as he was embracing him at the side.

"Hmm.." Mai Ding replied as he cosily rests his head at An Ziyan's shoulder.

A few moments have passed and the end of the day is reaching its peak.

"Mai Ding, remember that time at Christmas Eve when you shouted at me?" An Ziyan says with a grin

" An Ziyan, you really make the mood sour and the wound sore." Mai Ding frowned at his lover for ruining the moment.

An Ziyan reminisced that time when he left Mai Ding's side; he was trying to obtain the purchased item from T&Co [1]but had a huge misunderstanding with him.

"Remember that the very important things, always revolves around you." An Ziyan removed his embrace from his lover and face him.

"I won't repeat this anymore, if you can't follow what I'm saying then it's over."

"WTF? Can you be romantic just this once and be devoted about it?"

Mai Ding was stunned about what he's seeing, he can't believe what An Ziyan was about to do.

An Ziyan began to kneel and remove a tiny box from his coat pocket.

'Christmas Eve' it's supposed to be a heart warming and memorable moment for the both them. Yet, fate could be twisted sometimes. It had led their relationship to unfortunate events, An Ziyan thought that this time, he would makes things right. "Mai Ding, five years has gone by but everything we have were all real. Your love although I wasn't present at your side nothing of it was wasted; I am sure all of your feelings were true...

That's why, I'm telling you now, how I feel... I love you, you should know that. Even when my memories were lost, I fell for you for the second time and as it was now returned, I have love you again. You're heart and entire being belongs to me and I won't let anyone hinder us again. All of your worries and uncertainties, we'll both go beyond it."

An Ziyan then opened the box and got the ring inside of it.

"Marry me and say yes...if you don't I'll make you regret it." An Ziyan grins at Mai Ding.

"Pfft, still a bully at the very end." Mai Ding laughed playfully at An Ziyan's last line. He stretched his right hand towards An Ziyan and gave him his answer.

"Yeah, you're the only one for me." Tears fell from both of his red cheeks, maybe because of the cold or maybe because of so much happiness. In the midst of the cold weather, An Ziyan with a smile put in the ring at his lover's finger and kissed his hand. They both shared a kiss and lavished the moment they are in.
