ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 320 - I Will Wake You Up At The Time Of The Feast

Ji Cheng who was holding her in his embrace and her face was down so he couldn't see her expressions hugged her tighter because he sensed that she wanted to get out of his embrace.

He does not want to part away with her so he hugged her tighter and placed his head on his shoulder.

He could feel her body froze in his embrace. She stopped moving and stiffly stood there.

Then suddenly she also placed her hands on his back and hugged him as well. A smile plastered on his face because he was relieved that she didn't push him away.

But after a while, he felt her trembling in his embrace. He got scared when her body started to tremble. 

He wanted to look at her and wanted to know what's wrong with her but she didn't let him look at him and hugged him tighter and said in a low hoa.r.s.e voice, " Don't. Don't look at me right now. Please." 

He was startled hearing her breaking voice. Her voice sounded like she was crying. This made him panicked because he doesn't know why she was crying out of the blue.

He wanted to look at her but she told him not to do so. So he didn't say anything and just hugged her tighter and patted her back lightly to comfort him.

He doesn't know how to comfort crying people. He can just keep still at this moment and let her cry. He wants her to know that he is there even if she is feeling weak or tired. He is there for her.

Zhao Ming felt more vulnerable seeing him comply with her demands and didn't turn to look at her and her crying face which was in mess at this moment.

' Why the h.e.l.l is this man so sweet? Why does he always do whatever I say?' 

Her tears didn't stop flowing from her eyes and she soaked his robe with her crying for a while. She wasn't crying loudly but was sobbing silently.

She doesn't want people to see her like this. Thankfully, there is no one around at this moment.

Feng Ju was following them a while ago but he is nowhere in sight at this moment. 

After crying for a while, when she felt better and didn't feel uncomfortable, she parted away from him after wiping her tears. 

She didn't look at him instead turned around to not let him see her face. Her face must be in a mess, how can she let him see her like this?

Ji Cheng was surprised when she suddenly separated from the hug and turned around and didn't let him see her. 

He was confused about why she turned around. He placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to turn her around, " Are you okay? Let me see your face okay? Why are you not looking at me? Are you angry with me?" he was perplexed seeing her being stubborn and not turning around.

Zhao Ming's turned scarlet red when she realized what she had done. She cried in front of him and this is not like her.

' How can I be so weak and cry in front of him? Ahh, it's so embarra.s.sing. Will he think that I am trying to gain his sympathy? Or am I a crybaby?' she started thinking weird things realizing that she cried in his arms without knowing the reason why she cried.

She was in her thoughts when she heard his voice again. She got startled and said, " Don't look at me. My face is in the mess. Don't look. " she hides her face with her palms and runs away.

Ji Cheng was surprised to see her like this and chuckled. He has no idea why she was behaving like this.

She is so unpredictable. She cries at a moment and then another moment she ran away in embarra.s.sment and looked like nothing happened.

He started to admire this side of Zhao Ming more. It felt like she was a whole new person. But he liked this new side of her.

He chuckled and followed her to the lotus pavilion.

Zhao Ming hurriedly ran back to her chamber without waiting for him and shut the door tightly afraid that he might come to her chamber. 

She hurriedly went to her bed and wrapped herself in a blanket. She was too embarra.s.sed to face anyone at this moment. 

When Ji Cheng reached the lotus pavilion, he found her chamber gate was shut. He looked at the guards standing there who greeted him and gave him awkward looks. 

They were fl.u.s.tered when she hurriedly ran back to her chamber and shut the door from inside. 

Ji Cheng's lips pursed seeing the closed door. He gestured to the guards to go away. 

After the guards went away, he walked towards the door and tried to open it when he realized that she didn't lock the door. 

She only shut it. 

His lips curved upwards and a smirk came over his lips. 

He slowly opened the door to see n.o.body in the room. His brows frowned seeing n.o.body in the room. 

Just as he was about to go away, his eyes went onto the heap of the blanket on the bed. He squinted his eyes to see why the blanket was looking so strange. 

He raised his brows when he saw Zhao Ming's dress peeking from the blanket. He smirked and walked towards the blanket. 

Zhao Ming on the other side got startled when he suddenly opened the door and entered the room.

She heard the door opening when he entered. She tightened the grip on the blanket hoping that he would go away. 

But her heart started beating like crazy when he didn't leave and started walking towards her. 

She closed her eyes tightly and her breathing became heavy due to nervousness and being in the blanket for quite a while now. 

Ji Cheng stood beside the bed and saw her fidgeting under the blanket. 

" Zhao Ming is not here either. Don't know where she went." he dramatically said while standing beside her bed. 

" Sigh." 

" Then I should sleep here while waiting for her." he lazily said as he stood there seeing her moving under the blanket. 

' Is she dumb or what? She is pretending to be hiding under the blanket?' he questioned her IQ by doing this act. 

' Didn't he sleep in the afternoon? Does he want to sleep again? Is he some sleeping beauty or what?' she gritted her teeth when she heard his words. 

But before she could do anything, he started picking up the blanket. Before she could act fast, he pulled the blanket from her revealing her who was curled up under the blanket. 

When he pulled the blanket away from her, he saw her curled up on the bed with her hair spread over the bed and her face has turned red due to staying under the blanket for long. 

Her face was covered in sweat while clothes were slightly disheveled as well. He gulped seeing her in this state. 

She was looking so enticing that he didn't dare to look at her anymore. Because if he did, it would become hard for him to control his emotions. 

Zhao Ming stared at him in a daze and embarra.s.sedly said, " He... He... He... You're here?" 

Ji Cheng: - _-

Ji Cheng was speechless seeing her trying so hard at pretending to be normal. 

He coughed lightly and turned away. 

" You can sleep for a while if you're tired. We have some time for the feast." Ji Cheng coughed lightly before speaking his words. 

His ears have turned red seeing her looking seductively at him.

" Oh. I..am fine. I am not tired. I just want to relax for a bit. " Zhao Ming said as she sat up on the bed. 

She doesn't feel sleepy anymore. But she wanted to just rest for a while. She does not want to do anything at this moment. 

Ji Cheng nodded when he heard her words and said," Okay, then. You can rest for a while, and I can read my doc.u.ments here." he said as he sat on her bed. 

Zhao Ming raised her eyes in shock and asked, " What? Do you want to read your doc.u.ments here? Why? And you don't have your doc.u.ments either." she tried to send him away. 

He looked at her and smiled," I don't have one. That's why I have sent Feng Ju to bring them to me. He must be arriving soon." he said as he stretched his hand making her lay down beside him. 

" You can rest. If you want to sleep, you can sleep as well. I will wake you up at the time of the feast, " he said while patting her head. 

Zhao Ming stared at him with her perplexed expression. She has no idea why he isn't leaving?
