"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

"Chaoxiang, you finally arrived. I prepared you something for dinner." 


Meixiu purposely left the hall as much as possible. She went back to her office and changed her clothes to her office attire and went home immediately. She is thinking that since Chaoxiang is very tired, she should cook him some food. "Today was very tiring. The soup she prepared smells nice.", Chaoxiang said to himself. 


He then observed Meixiu is wearing the same clothes she wore for her today's schedule. She's still in her sky blue turtleneck and white skirt. 


"Why are you not changing your clothes? Are you comfortable cooking in that outfit?", he saw her hands are trembling. 


She is keeping herself composed so that the soup will not spill in her hands. It's been more than a minute since she showed her finished product of Chaoxiang's dinner. Both the weight and the nervousness contribute in making her hand shake. 


He again brushed her hand and before the bowl fell to the ground, the soup spilled on her clothes first. She knelt on the ground to pick up the broken bowl when she heard Chaoxiang speaking. 


"Now you are obliged to change your clothes.", he smiled and Meixiu saw him walking away. 


"Oh, the garbage collector will be waiting outside the village. Collect our garbage and include this." 


He threw a box on her hand and because she was shocked, she closed her fists while holding the sharp edges of the broken bowl. 


"Ouch!", she reacted after the broken pieces penetrate her soft hands. 


"No no. I'll be going outside with the garbage." 


He went upstairs and ignored all the sound he's hearing. "I will rest for the whole night.", he said and locked the door. 


Meixiu threw the broken bowl on their trash bin and saw her hands are bleeding. "How can I type the reports later?", she asked herself before she collected all their garbage. 


She then saw all the food she prepared were not moved at all. "I'll put this in a lunch box and give it to the beggar outside the village." 


Her heart was always moved whenever she sees a beggar or a homeless at the streets. She always wanted to extend her help for them as long as she can. 


After some minutes of transferring the food to a lunch box, her gaze suddenly found the box Chaoxiang threw at her. It's the box she made for him last night. She opened them and saw the letter she made was crumpled. It made her heart break. "How can he be unappreciative to his fans?", she cried and walked out of the door. 


Halfway outside their house and the village, the rain started pouring and she has no umbrella or a raincoat. "Seriously?", she groaned in agony. Whenever the water reaches her hands, she can't stop herself from crying because of the pain. 


She disposed both the broken plate from earlier, the broken bowl from tonight and the letter she made for him. 


NOT APPRECIATED
