"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

One cold evening at a park, just a few blocks away from the couple’s house, Chaoxiang and Meixiu are having a date. The woman presses her nose gently to remind herself that this isn’t a dream or a hallucination. Not only is she with a celebrity right now, but they’re also out in the open, where people can see them. Her eyes would wander sometimes, cautious of their surroundings, hoping no paparazzi was watching from a distance. 


When she gets out of focus like this, Chaoxiang will steal her attention back by offering a spoon of the ice cream that he bought earlier. This makes Meixiu even more nervous but her husband’s smile comforts her. It has been a few days since Ruomei and Liwei crashed her office. The day after that, Chaoxiang checked with his brother-in-law and the man said that they both apologized to each other and that they were both hopeful that things would change from now on. Liwei’s report calmed Chaoxiang down and he then prepared a simple date with his wife.
