ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

When Ji Cheng entered the chamber, it was already midnight. He saw Zhao Ming sleeping while sitting on the bed. Her head was against the bedrest and her neck was tilted to the side.

He sighed as he felt bad for her that she was sleeping in an uncomfortable position. She seems like she fell asleep while reading the harem report in her hands.

He walked to her and carefully picked up the report which fell on the bed from her lap and placed it on the side table.

He removed the hair strands off her face and prepared to pick her up and make her lay on the bed comfortably.

He placed his hand on her back and under her knees, he picked her up in his arms, preparing to lay her on the bed properly.

However, just as he was about to place her on the bed, he heard her mumbling something in her sleep.

He frowned as she was speaking incoherently. 

He leaned in to hear what she was saying.

" Brother Song." Zhao Ming who was in deep sleep said with a smile on her face.

"-_-"

"Brother Song…" she said again in a low voice with a faint smile on her lips.

"-_-"

Ji Cheng was speechless seeing her calling another man's name in her sleep. That too while sleeping?

' Who is this... Brother Song?' His lips parted in shock and brows knitted together.

" Thump" 

Ji Cheng was holding her in his arms and was lost in his thoughts about what she said. He didn't realize that she was in his arms and was moving around.

Zhao Ming, who was moving in her sleep, turned to the side and fell onto the bed with a loud sound.

" Ahhh" she shouted when her sleep was disrupted and her body fell on the bed, waking her up with a startle.

"-_-"

Ji Cheng's eyes widened in shock when she fell. He looked at her apologetically and was wondering as to how she fell from his hands.

Zhao Ming, who just woke up from her sleep and was still in her dreamy state, was wailing as if someone has beat her ruthlessly.

" Ah, what is this? Why did you throw me? Do you hate me that much? Ahh.." she wailed loudly which was so unlike her.

Ji Cheng was stunned and stared at her, wondering why she was acting like this.

After a few minutes she calmed down and wiped her face. She took a deep breath and said, " What is this? Why was I crying?"

"-_-"

Ji Cheng was speechless seeing her acting so out of character.

" How do I know?" He said hesitantly.

She rubbed her eyes and said, " Why did you throw me by the way? You ruined my dream." She pouted and looked at him wrongly.

He frowned and sat on the bed and looked at her, " I was meaning to ask you this. Exactly what kind of dream you were seeing? You were smiling so happily and your face turned crimson while sleeping."

She pursed her lips and her ears turned red when she remembered that kiss. It felt so real and soft. She placed her hands on her face, trying to cool down the heat.

A shy smile appeared on her face, which surprised him. He frowned and stared at her. 

She was smiling shyly and was calling another man's name in the sleep. What kind of dream was that?

" It was...just a random dream. It feels like I was watching a historical romance movie in my dream. Oh damn, I need to see it's ending. It was so good." She said while reminiscing about that dream.

"-_-*

" Mo..movie? What is that? Is it some kind of food?" He asked when he couldn't understand her words.

' Oh yeah. This poor thing doesn't even know about movies. Ah, so sad. They are losing out on a great pleasure in life.' she pursed her lips and looked at him pitifully.

He frowned when she stared at him like this, " Why are you staring at me like that?"

She shrugged her shoulders and said, " Nothing. I was just... thinking about something."

He gave her a side glance when she didn't give him a clear response.

She sighed and stretched her hand to take a glass of water. She was drinking water but she choked when she heard his words.

" Who is this Brother Song?"

She was startled and started coughing violently hearing his question.

" How...how do you know about this name?" With a great difficulty she managed to ask.

" You were smiling while sleeping and was calling this name. Who is this? How come I don't know anything about this man?" He asked with obvious displeasure on his face.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and controlled herself from smiling. She never thought that he is a jealous type of man. 

*Ahem* she cleared her throat and said, " I don't know either. It was just a random dream. I was calling the name in my dream, so maybe I mentioned it while sleeping as well."

He knitted his brows and wondered what kind of dream she was watching which caused her to smile like this?

"Dream? What kind of dream?"

She paused hearing his question. She pursed her lips and thought about the dream that she just had. 

She was feeling giddy and happy after waking up from the dream that she forgot the main point here.

In the dream, it was the same girl who was crying in the last dream with blood spattered everywhere and dead bodies surrounded her.

Her expressions suddenly turned solemn when she remembered that horrendous scene. That girl in the dream looked so innocent and naive.

Her softness and sweet personality caused her to smile unknowingly. But thinking about that battleground bloody scene, she felt goosebumps.

If this was her last life..then..that bloody scene and the dead body?

Her lips quivered and tears filled in her eyes thinking about the horrific possibility which startled Ji Cheng.

Since the moment she woke up, she was showing different emotions. At first, she started crying due to frustration, then was smiling foolishly and now again crying. But this time, her eyes looked sad and painful.
