The Light and The Shadow

Chapter 16: are we able to see each other again?

I started thinking...why would he do that?

I smiled why reading my scroll.

Then somebody came. It was Si Ying.

"And? Done with flirting with him?" She said.

"Si Ying! How bold of you!" And I throwed the scroll at her. But she dodged. Shoot.

"Your Highness, why so aggressive?" She grabbed the scroll and gave it back to me.

"Don't ask questions."

"That Zixuan might be bold enough to confess his feeling to you....but.." She came closer and played with my hair. She smirked.

"Si Ying, what are you doing?!"

She touched my cheeck with her hand. "Your Highness, I might wanted to kill you first, but I didn't want you to love Li Jie..." I pushed her hand away.

"I don't love him."

"Oh? You don't? The whole world knows that you two love eachother..~did you change your mind?" She giggled.

"What are you laughing at? This is the truth!"

"Mhm..I totally believe you."

"But why didn't you want me to love Li Jie? Don't tell me...that you love Li Jie?" I laughed at her. It's normal to make such jokes with Si Ying. She saved me, and became my closest guardian.

"Your Highness, what do you think? I saved you, I guard you and more.." I don't know if this is a joke or not. I think I have a blackout.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

She giggled and walked away.

"Si Ying! Come back! Si Ying!!" But she wouldn't listen to me at all.

Now what should I do? A Zixuan likes me and- nevermind. Killing the Devil God is important. But the Zixuan that came didn't sound like Zixuan at all..

-21:45-

It was kinda getting late..I think I should bathe.

I walked to the bathroom and put hot water in it. That feeling is nice, just like a sauna.

I started putting my clothes off, and hang them somewhere.

Then I put my leg in the bathtub. Shit, that's too hot.

Then when it cooled down, I got in. And relaxed. This is really what I need. I am here more freely than Heavenly Realm..

I started thinking..I kinda miss Li Jie..no. I don't miss him. He must have forgotten me. But he didn't divorce me...

Suddenly a somebody came in. I tried to cover it.

"What are you thinking?" Si Ying was the one that came in. That witch-

"Why are you here? Go away! I am bathing here in peace."

Then she took her clothes off.

"Don't-" And I looked away. Okay, I know. I've sawn it all from Li Jie, but not from Si Ying! And I don't want to.

"Why?" She came in the bath. I really felt uncomfortable.

"Si Ying, can't I have a little privacy? Ever since Zixuan said that he liked me, you suddenly act strange..."

"No need to look away, I am a girl too." And she came closer and looked in my eyes.

"Can you please leave?"

"Okay~" Wow. That was fast to let her leave. BUT NO! "After I finish this." She started grabbing there, and I really found it uncomfortable.

"Stop, Si Ying. I am uncomfortable. Please."
