What do you want from me?

Xing felt like she was enveloped by the warmth emitted from Shengli listening to his revelation even though he wasn't touching her. He had that proud and honest expression that only he could make such promises to her and keep it up.

This man... He is the only one who could make me feel this way!

Xing's heart was overflowing with happiness and both of them forgot where they were for a moment while they were looking deep into each other and a chirpy voice broke their trance.

"I tied their strings... I will not let You guys break it!", Xing saw a beautiful lady wearing red appear in front of them with a very pleased smile in her face.

Xing remembered this Goddess was the one who tied a red string around her and Shengli's ankles when Shengli did that weird ceremony by the pond before he left her ten years back. That string disappeared instantly and Shengli made her drink the water from the pond interlocking their arms too.
