Ru Ying Sui Xing – Chapter 14 – Carriage ride
Zhuge Liang hesitated for a bit. I could tell he wanted to say something but couldn't get it out. So he sighed.
"Ying?"
"Yes?"
He shook his head, sighed and walked out of the room. I stood up, ready to follow him. "Did I do something wrong?" I exited the room and looked around for Liang.
"Liang" I called. "Liang, where are you?"
Zhuge Jun emerged from his room. "You are looking for your loooooooooooover, aren't you Lady Huang?" he asked me.
I snorted. "No. I'm looking for Zhuge Liang."
"He just stepped out," said Jun.
I looked over to Jun with confusion. "How?"
"There's a window over there. Brother tends to leave from there quite frequently."
I thanked him and jumped out the window. It wasn't suicide since I dropped two feet. Although I did land hard on my butt though ... aye. Now back to Liang: "Liang?" I called. "Liang, forgive me!" I wasn't exactly sure what I had done, but I was sorry for whatever I did.
There was no reply. When I looked around for him, I saw his hat on the floor and picked it up. From this new angle, I saw a carriage belonging to father and two men ho gagged and restrained Zhuge Liang. He tried to escape from their grasp but always failed.
"Liang!" I cried as I ran up to him.
Another man popped up and gagged me. He was able to restrain me easily. I didn't want to waste my energy so I didn't fight back. The three men pushed Liang and I into the carriage. On the other side sat Dai Xian. They walked out, slamming the doors shut. The carriage began moving. I blew roughly and the gag fell off of me. Liang noticed what I did and did the same. He had a coughing fit for a second and then asked me, "Yue Ying, what's going on?"
Before I could answer, Dai Xian asked Zhuge, "Lord Zhuge Liang, I presume?"
He glanced at her and had his eyes fixed on her for a few seconds. I noticed this and then cleared my throat.
"Yes," said he. "Zhuge Liang. You?"
"Lady Dai. Dai Xian."
He smiled and asked me the same question as before. "Ying, what's going on?"
Dai Xian answered for me, but it wasn't the answer I wanted. "Lord Zhuge, my Lady has much to deal with her father. Please, give her a few minutes alone."
I snapped, "It has nothing to do with father Xian."
She shook her head and looked down.
Liang looked over at me again. "Then what does it have to do with?"
I glanced at him and then whispered, "us."
He shook his head. "What about?" He had lowered his tone dramatically. We had started whispering so Dai could not eavesdrop.
"Why were you just so petrified to tell me that you were in love with me?
"I-I was afraid of rejection, Yue Ying. I didn't want to tell you because I thought you would reject me just like all the others." Liang sighed and continued, "Honestly, it was love at first sight."
He looked away. I was bewildered. "Are you still afraid?"
He nodded.
I addled closer to him and said over his shoulder, "You shouldn't be, Liang."
"Oh?" he asked. "Why not?" He turned to me. "Why should I not be afraid Yue Ying?"
I decided it. Now.
"Because I fell in love with you too. Two days Liang. That's all it took. Love has no time limit."
I put on an innocent face. But there was no need. Everything I said was true. Nothing fiction, just facts laid out for one to see. Zhuge Liang smiled. "Glad to hear that."
We stopped whispering. Dai Xian jumped up closer to me and Liang. "Awww!" she said. "You two are in love!"
She dreadfully reminded me of Zhuge Jun. I turned red. "No need to be embarrassed, Yue Ying." I heard Liang say.
"But Xian is-"
Dai Xian said to us, "Kiss! I want you see you two do it just once! Come on now!"
Liang shrugged and I sank down. He faced me and then just before we had kissed, the carriage doors were broken down and a blast of cold air rushed in.
