When Love Says Hello

Chapter 6

"Are you sure?" Ming asked uncertainly. "You love him?"

Li nodded with honesty. Ming sighed and shook her head. "That's good for you, sister. Besides, I don't think I'll ever find someone." Li looked at her with empathy, understanding that her sister is thirty-two years old and still, she hadn't found anyone for her. "Tell me what happened," she spoke softly. "Was that all because you drank a potion to reverse your age forwards? Or have you done a great sin?" Ming refused to answer but she gave Li a golden piece of paper stained with blood. That showed the second reason; Ming had killed someone in her past over some Chinese crafted paper.

Then Ming asked kindly while taking Li's hands, "Please tell Jinhuan to forgive me or he'll be terribly disappointed.." Li shook her head. "It's no trouble, you diddler. I'm sure you cheated the entire palace by stealing papers, but I think Jinhuan can reincarnate you."

Ming looked at Li with relief. "Thanks," she whispered and got up to leave.

I was busy arranging the lotus flowers alongside the magical turquoise pool near our palace when Li walked towards me. "Sir." "What is it?" Bowing down, Li replied quietly, "I think you may be mistaken. Ming didn't exactly lose someone because of a potion. She...commited a crime," she finally said shyly.

Taking one look at her beautiful but shy face, I burst laughing for no reason at all. "Why are you laughing?" Li asked confidently.

I stopped laughing and shook my head. "No, it's just Ming's in a bad position. She couldn't give her parents a grandchild." I looked at Li seriously. "We should do whatever it takes to help. Here," I bowed down and handed her a fresh rose. "I got it from the courtyard over there." Li took the roses and nodded a thank you. "So, that way!" I pointed to the way there.

"Shall I lead you?" I asked her quietly. "I should be leading almost every mission>"
"So lead," Li said and take my hand.
