Eternal Love: A Love Story

Zhao Ming looked at Xie Ming in interest and waited for her to speak. She shivered and rubbed her arms with her hands to keep herself warm because it was icy cold and dark to the point that she couldn't even see Xie Ming who was standing in front of her. She could just feel her existence there and was talking while looking at her figure which was unseen to her. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

" Aunty Shen Jia has told me before that we both are connected to our past life. You are saying that you also got that dream and me too, that means you already know about Tan Xiu and Commander Yuan Song." Xie Ming said while holding onto Zhao Ming's hand.

Her expressions became serious when she said Yuan Song's name. Her body shivered remembering his bloody figure and similarly, Zhao Ming also stiffened because not only was that figure too scary but Liwei's face was the same as Yuan Song. So she was more affected because of it.

" But the thing is, our husbands are connected to that life. I asked Aunt Shen Jia about it and she said that Liwei is the reincarnation of Ji Cheng, and I believe they both are connected to our past life." Xie Ming said..

"Ah, you're right. Liwei and Commander Yuan Song have identical faces." Zhao Ming exclaimed in surprise. Before she didn't think much about it but after this dream, things became much more clear.

Xie Ming nodded and continued, " Yes, on that note, before we can move onto our plan, I want to ask you one thing." she asked suddenly, changing the topic of the conversation.

Zhao Ming stared at her in confusion wondering what she wanted to ask.

" Do...do you want to go back to my world or yours?" Xie Ming asked while looking at her in contemplation.

"I mean, do you want to go back to Ji Cheng because you might not know, but he also loved you a lot. There were so many misunderstandings between you that led your relationship to turn out like that. Even though...I have taken your place, but I always felt guilty since he loves you and cares for you. I won't say anything if you wanted to go back to your own life. Because I think we can change our places if we both are trapped here." Xie Ming said hesitantly. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

She was not sure about it but the theory she had created, according to that, they can go back to their own lives if they want.

She was afraid that Zhao Ming might say yes and she was not ready to hear that but she doesn't want to take her place without her permission either.

Zhao Ming smiled mildly and shook her head, " At first, I used to hate Ji Cheng and think that he was the reason for my miseries but when I started to think about it, we both were at fault. Just like him, it was my fault for not being vocal about my difficulties and problems and dealing with Wen Xu and Xiao Li alone without retorting. It's not like I can't handle her or I was too weak, it just...I chose the wrong way to deal with them."

" I took my image as the Empress too seriously and to become good in everyone's eyes, I lost my true self and?I didn't realize when my inferiority complex started to suffocate me." Zhao Ming said while thinking about her attitude back then.

Xie Ming also nodded because she also believes that if Zhao Ming had tried, she could have managed the whole situation very well. She is much more talented than her but she chose to become the filial wife and daughter-in-law than Zhao Ming herself.

" And I realized all of this after meeting Liwei. After talking to him and realizing that you two also had a communication gap, it made me realize that it might be the case with me and Ji Cheng as well. Xie Ming, I love Liwei, I love him so much that I can't even think about leaving him now. Also, you haven't replaced me in Ji Cheng's life, you have created your own importance in his life. The time we had spent...might be more than you, but the words we have said to each other were definitely less compared to you."

" I am happy where I am and don't want to go back to my life, but if you want to go back to your world...then..--"

" No, I don't want to go back. For me, Liwei has never been more than a husband in the name. He can be a good friend of mine if he treats me well, but I don't have feelings for him. So I don't want to go back." Xie Ming denied it immediately, afraid that Zhao Ming might change her decision.

Xie Ming smiled and said, " Now, if we both want to go back to where we belong, to our husbands, should we get on work?" she said while grinning ear to ear.

" But what can we do? Do you have any idea?" Zhao Ming asked in confusion while looking around the darkness. She wondered what idea was going inside her head, making her say such a bold statement.

Xie Ming smiled and didn't say anything.

" Xie Ming, are you sure that this way we both can go back?" Zhao Ming asked worriedly.

She was sitting on the floor, with her legs folded, and had her eyes closed. She held onto Xie Ming's right hand while Xie Ming also sat in the same position as her.

"Hm. Aung Shen Jia had once told me that when you don't know the solution to a problem, do meditation. Also, since we both belong to the same past and were connected, I think if we join our powers together, we can go back. I don't know if you felt this or not, while I was dreaming about the past, everything felt so real. It's like, I was not dreaming but living the dream. It's like I was watching the events unfolding in front of my eyes." Xie ming said while closing her eyes shut in surprise.

She still remembered that feeling where everything felt so real.

Zhao Ming also nodded with her eyes closed and said, " Yes. It was very strange and not like the dreams as before, but I felt that too. It's like I was watching it from my own bare eyes."

"Hmm. Although I am not sure, we might have gone back to that past and had witnessed those events ourselves." Xie Ming said with a sigh. While staying with Shen Jia for so long, her ability to make such guesses have increased quite a bit.

Zhao Ming was silent as she was trying to understand the whole situation. She can't believe that she was hearing these words from Xie Ming and not her.

"Xie Ming...do..you believe in these things? I mean..how can we go back to the past which has already ended?" Zhao Ming reasoned.

" Do you think that this whole situation can be explained reasonably?" Xie ming retorted, shutting Zhao Ming off. There was nothing normal in this situation but for them, even these things sound normal.

" Now shut up and focus." Xie Ming said while tightly holding onto Zhao Ming's hand. Zhao Ming frowned when she heard her bossy words but she didn't say anything and did as she said.

They didn't say anything and tried to focus on their breathing first. After their bodies and minds calm down, Xie Ming starts chanting the verses that she has learned from Shen Jia for emergency times.

She just remembered them not knowing that she will get to use them ever in her life.

As they were focusing and meditating, a bright but small light emerged from Xie Ming and Zhao Ming's core, while following the directions of their hands and slides to where they were holding hands and were connected to each other.

Both gritted their teeth as the heat covering their hands intensified, making them feel as if it's burning. Xie Ming tightened her grip on Zhao Ming's hand, afraid to let go, and tried to hold onto it despite the intense pain on her hands.

As time passed, both of them were drenched in sweat and the coldness in the room was changing into suffocating heat. Zhao Ming's lips quivered as she tried to control herself from groaning in pain due to an intense killing headache.

Similarly, Xie Ming was also controlling the pain and was holding onto her hand, focusing on gathering the energy.

" Ahhhh…" both shrieked in pain, when their bodies felt a piercing pain in their bodies, causing them to jump on their positions. The small light, spread across the room, causing them to get blinded by its brightness.
