Rebirth : A Woman With Frozen Heart

"Xuan Wu.." Ming Yue who was still standing next to Xuan Wu, staring at the moon lake called out to him.

"Mm?" Xuan Wu responded gently, turning his gaze to the young girl who stood beside him. His eyes were gentle and sweet, focusing solely on her. It as if nothing in this world was as important as her. A soft smile was on his face, it showed how he enjoyed the tranquility that was surrounding them at this moment.

"I still can't accept it." Ming Yue spoke, "..Me.. and Chang'e.. I still think we are two different people."

There was a short silence before Xuan Wu's soft chuckles was heard. Ming Yue closed her eyes, knowing how foolish her words was.

"Are you jealous of your own self?"

Ming Yue abruptly opened her eyes and turned her gaze to the man beside her. Seeing the mirth in his eyes, a scowl appeared on her face as she slapped his arm "I didn't mean it like that!" Ming Yue refuted, clearly annoyed.

This time Xuan Wu laughed, his face was beaming with happiness. It had been thousand years for Xuan Wu to be this happy, playing and teasing with his lady once again. How he wished time could stop right at this moment.

"I am being serious here." Ming Yue said, "I know it's weird but.." Ming Yue sighed, didn't know how to explain the complexity inside her heart.

"You don't have to think too much about it." Xuan Wu soothed her, lifted his hand and gently caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. "Just let it flow naturally."

Ming Yue was not used to intimacy between man and woman. She didn't have any experience for it. However, Ming Yue felt at ease with Xuan Wu touching her cheek. Maybe because she saw him as a family member. Among the four beasts, Xuan Wu was the calmest and the wisest despite having a twisted and playful nature. So Ming Yue might think of him as an older brother.

"Mm." Ming Yue nodded but frowned when she remembered something. "Ah right, do you know a person named Zhong Kui?"
