Night of Wisdom (1)

Inhaling her breath sharply and nibbling with her fingernails nervously, the youngest Qin is watching how every rose petals float on her wooden bathtub. It wasn't how she imagined her fiancé would be in previous life, that the man she would marry are already in love with someone else. It's true she doesn't have any of experience before. Though, she has lot of her knowledge, about how kissing works and how nightly intercourse between the couple made steps by steps. She gained if from her hobbies of watching many series between of man and woman, man and man, woman and woman as well when from reading graphics novels and detailed written works online. She learned a lot from it, and remembering how much all of those magazines, books, comics in her home are left all alone. She felt a great loss and disappointment. Qin Xisheng moved into the water, soaking herself and longingly sighed while wondering how her older sisters fair in this situation. Even though she cannot speak it loudly, she knows how much the two looking at each other today—they're near of fighting. Sadly because of her again and she hate that fact.

Again, she let out another sighed. Then tried to think of what happened all day. She had a long rough day, acting foolishly by sneaking out with her servant while trying to please of herself in finding paradise in writing obscene works—now she remembered it. Where is her book? Did she left it somewhere? Where did she placed her precious life saving works of art? She thought positivity about her things and focused on tonight's dinner with the man she will have to marry as soon as possible. It's inevitable, though her heart wished for chance of breaking the arrangement.

She isn't Qin Xisheng but Xisheng of modern world. Her set of culture's are completely set off in this reality. She no longer wish to have a relationship right now with big obligated and responsibilities. Her mind cannot comprehend of those possibilities that will happen to her if she become a married person. Do she need to go back with Sang Clan young master at their territory somewhere? With thoughts of leaving her siblings a.k.a sworn sisters and handsome Fuqin with stoic Gong Lu are already breaking her heart, she even wanted to protest at the heavens above. She took another deep breath and looked down at the petals on her bath. It's all occupying the water, hiding what's needed to be hidden away from prying eyes. Her cute changming were waiting for her outside of the bathing room, because she instructed to gave her a certain privacy when bathing of herself.

It just she's not used to showering or bathing with eyes watching your every movements, it making her uncomfortable and feel she was in some porno–videos that she always found in those advertising adult sites before.

Afterwards, an hour had passed without her noticing the time. Qin Xisheng's were lost in thoughts of how she can break the marriage engagement without offending of Sang Clan, if there's one percent of possibility. Although, she honored her grandfather's wish, it's not for her to fulfill that. But, like other says, not all of the matters would go in your own way. When later on she would meet the young master of Sang Clan with his beloved lady. Isn't this kind of joke? Why the hell he brought the female he love here? To tell that he would break off their engagement which she will gladly to comply yet if it's the opposite side where her fiancé gonna take concubines then it's better off in marrying a commoner somewhere. As long he is stick to one, handsome and rich man. Qin Xisheng wouldn't wish for more then.

"Third Miss?" Changming voiced, worried and held an edge of anxiety. " Third Miss, are you okay there?"

"Yes? What's wrong Xiao Ming?"

"Nothing, Third Miss. I merely worried for your well being. I know a lot of things happened in these past few weeks, I know mistress loves the seventh prince so much. . . "Qin Xisheng is now looking at the bathing room's door. Now, it reminded of her about what those people in restaurant says, how much she was tainted by the royal prince. It's been hanging on her mind since earlier, what is the meaning of being one tainted by the said man? what is it that made her to be rumoured like that? she have no any idea, not at all.

"Changming," Qin Xisheng inhaled. "Tell me the truth?"

"Truth about what Third Miss?"

"What is the meaning of myself being tainted by the seventh prince?"

Qin Xisheng waits for her servant's reply. But, it was nothing other than silence on another side. Again, she repeated the same question yet Changming still unresponsive. It suddenly anger her, she know the younger female were standing outside and refusing to talk. What is wrong with her question? Why Changming is not answering her? Is the answer really bad?

Do the seventh prince had tainted her but how in a way? She cannot understand how or what it is.

"Changming?"

No answer.

"Changming, are you still there?"

No answer.

"Xiao Ming you're making me mad, why are you not answering me?" Qin Xisheng is sure someone were standing in front of bathing room and that's— Changming. She took the piece of long white cloth before wrapping it around her body, then leaving the water. She will go out to see why the younger one are not responding.

"Changming, if you cannot tell me it's fine. But, next time you better say it rather than making me wait for your words," She opened the door expecting to see her servant, yet Qin Xisheng was surprisingly assaulted by the cold wind against her newly bathed skin. Instantly, she shivered and sneezed. "Changming?"

No one.

Qin Xisheng scanned the area, there was no one beyond the vicinity, even obvious traces of someone. She stood briefly for a moment there while questioning herself about whether it's a trick of her mind or not.
