"When she kisses me, it feels like my world stops revolving.", she froze after hearing those words from her husband.


"Ruomei, why did you write this? Clearly, you wrote this song before the wedding so what makes you think we'll like kissing each other?", Meixiu thumped her chest because of the sudden change she felt on her heartbeat. She remembered their first and only kiss with the lyrics he just sang and the way he low key slipped a smile from his lips.

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife."


Meixiu heard those words but she was stuck right there, she can't resist the charm of this man in front of her. She was shocked when Chaoxiang pulled her from her waist and tucked her closer to his body, her hands landed on her chest.


"You have to kiss me lady, it's a custom.", he said.


He drew his face closer, lowering his back to reach her height. She met her leading man halfway and locked her lips on his. His lips are making hers partly opened as he slipped his lower lip inside her mouth. Her heart's beating so fast. "Stop it already Chaoxiang or I'll die having no oxygen!", Meixiu thought.


From her upper lip, he then ravished her lower lip. Meixiu was too nervous, she never kissed someone before. That's why she poked Chaoxiang's stomach with her index because according to his interview, it's his most ticklish part, hoping he will stop the kiss after but what he did shocked her. He bit his lower lip and after tasting her blood, he left her standing there.

"Are you that whipped for Chaoxiang?", she snapped out after hearing Lein.


"Why? What?"


"Give me your letter now, I'll give it to him at the back stage."


"Oh I'm sorry. Here it is.", she handed the box she made throughout the night.


"I'll go with the crowd so Chaoxiang will not see me.", Meixiu said and walked away.

I LOVE YOU UNTIL I DIE

"So that's it! The rumors about her are true.", Zhao Chaoming, Chaoxiang's older brother exclaimed. 


"What rumors?", Chaoxiang is now interested. 


"The Yang family needs money, you know that. The rumors said that after the Yang family faced three bankruptcy, Meixiu was there to help them, she was from the Wu family. And you know, the Wu family's business has been on the top for some years now." 


"I married someone from the Wu family?" 


Chaoxiang clobbered the table for a couple of times until he saw himself bleeding. He is not bothered by the blood, he is more disturbed with all the things his brother is saying to him right now. His confession made him feel that he made the wrong move. 


"Why didn't you tell me before the wedding?" 


"You were blinded. I know you really wanted to help your ex's family. After Meixiu paid them for the Yang's bankruptcy, she controlled them, telling them they should force you to marry her for you to be able to help the Yang family. Now it's the Wu family who needs money more than your ex's. If that Meixiu asks you for money, for sure it's her real family who will benefit." 


"I don't want to hurt her, I know she'll not win against me but she's making me despise her." 


"Make the Wu family regret their decision Chaoxiang. Make them pay, make them feel the pain." 


He is picking up his pieces after he drank a bottle of tequila. "I swear, I'll make this night the worst honey moon for her.", he said to himself. He pulled the glass door and is now about to get out when his brother Chaoming called him. 


"Oh and one thing, she paid for your ex Suyin to leave the country." 


His eyes suddenly turned into flames, now he hates Meixiu so much. He got inside his car and immediately left the bar. 


"After getting married, he'll already have a guesting for a show tomorrow?" 


Meixiu said after looking at Chaoxiang's schedule on his official website. "Oh I haven't made him a letter yet. I'll invite He Lein, she's a fan of Chaoxiang too.", Meixiu contacted Lein, her college senior friend. 


After Lein answered the call, Meixiu distanced her phone from her ear after hearing Lein screeched. 


"Meixiu, are you coming tomorrow?", Lein asked. 


"I was about to invite you. Seems like you're more prepared than I am." 


"Actually no. I don't have any money." 


"Oh yeah I know that. I'll give your letter to Chaoxiang." 


And the call ended. Meixiu looked at the time, it's 10 PM. "I'll finish doing the letter before Chaoxiang arrives." 


The letter, full of love and support for Chaoxiang, was done crafted three hours after 10 PM. She was pasting some heart sticker on its cover when she felt sleepy, so she gave in to that feeling. She kept the letter on her bag and laid down on the couch, covering herself with a blanket. 


It's almost an hour after she fell asleep when she heard some banging noises. She was about to stand up when she felt someone's strangulating her neck. "Am I dreaming?", she asks herself.
