Zhao Ming looked around the entrance gate of the hotel and realized that there was no guard. Her lips curled up seeing no security and hurriedly scurried out of the hotel while dragging Ji Cheng along with her.
Once out of the hotel, she removed her hand around Ji Cheng's arm and sighed heavily in relief.
" Hah, that was quite adventurous!" she breathed heavily while patting her chest with her fists.
. After dealing with the guard, she realized that it was not so easy to get out of this place. The hotel staff and guards were roaming around while preparing for some big event that was going to be held in the hotel.
Since they were clad in traditional clothes which made them appear as a crazy couple, ?they were easily spottable even among the crowd. However, due to the event, many places were prohibited to visit and not many people were there, making it easier for them to hide and get out of the place once the security from the entrance moved.
It took them two hours just to escape from this place without being caught.
Ji Cheng pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Ming coldly who was sighing and squeezing her dress that was wet due to being in the water for a long time. Although it's been so long since they were out of the hot spring, their clothes were still wet and sticky making them uncomfortable.
By now he realized that they are not in the Ji Dynasty but in the strange girl from where this girl belongs. However, it was still an unfamiliar and unbelievable situation for him. From her words, he knew that this girl is from another world, a world from years and years later from their time but it was shocking for him to know that people can cross the timeline and go over to the other world.
" Zha... You...Are you cold?" He asked, seeing her rubbing her arms and was shivering while flapping her long skirt that was stuck to her body. The place was cold and seems like it was winter here as well, but it was not as cold as at the palace where the pathway was covered with snow and trees had snow stuck over their branches.
Zhao Ming who was shivering like a freezing cat turned to look at him and seeing his worried expressions, she shook her head and replied, "N.. No. I am fine." she said while gritting her teeth due to cold.
He pursed his lips seeing her lips that were turning pale. He doesn't know how they ended up here but he remembered that before they came here, she was in the freezing cold water for long and now they were in their wet clothes for long in this cold weather.
He was used to the cold since he had served in the military and when he used to go on wars, they were trained to fight through the cold weather by swimming in the icy cold lake for hours. When on war, there were barely any facilities to stay warm during the cold weather and they couldn't care less about such things when the enemy was standing at their border while carrying their swords at them.
He sighed seeing her saying that she was fine when she was shivering to the point where it looked like she was going to faint any moment. Without saying anything, he removed his outer robe which was made of thick material for winters, and put it on her shoulders, " Wear this. I can't take care of you in this unfamiliar strange place." he said coldly.
She blinked at him and a smile appeared on her lips seeing his warm gestures. However, the smile disappeared when she realized that they were in a world where there is Zhao Ming.
The real Zhao Ming, whom he was dying to meet and was asking them to bring her back to the world. ?The sadness covered her eyes as she couldn't help but think about how he was going to react upon seeing Zhao Ming who is living her life as Xie Ming with Liwei.
Zhao Ming got to live with Liwei happily, but why can't she get the same privilege? In his eyes, she is nothing but a fake Zhao Ming, having Zhao Ming's face only.
' Seems like, the happy ending is not made for me. ' she looked at him with her sad eyes but tried to maintain a smile on her lips, to not show the pain that was killing her from inside.
She tried everything to not think about him and her feelings towards him but his coldness towards him makes her realize how much she likes him. Rather than the happy moments, the pain made her realize the intensity of her love towards him.
She took a deep breath and shook her head to not cry in front of him, 'It's okay. You're not pitiful. This man is just crazy for not knowing your worth. I am gonna show him my true self and make him regret his decision. ' she sniffled and decided to live her life happily, no matter where she is.
Ji Cheng glanced at her and saw her sniffling through her nose which had turned red and her white cheeks also had a blush due to cold. He grew worried about seeing her looking cold, despite wearing his robe.
He wanted to call Feng Ju and get a woolen cloak coat for her but pursed his lips, realizing that they are not in the Ji Dynasty. He sighed, thinking about their future and how they are going to go back from this strange place.
-
Zhao Ming looked around for a taxi as she knew that they were in the suburbs of the Xia city and it's going to take a few hours for them to reach Jin Villa. Other than going to that place, they have nowhere to go.
She was worried about Ji Cheng's reaction when he sees Xie Ming aka Zhao Ming but she has no choice. Rather than roaming on the streets, with no food and money in these strange clothes, it's better to go there and live a luxurious life.
Also, it was her place, to begin with. Sher is the real Xie Ming, she is just going back to her home now.
" I am sure Liwei wouldn't be happy to see me alive, " she murmured and shook her head thinking about his shocked expressions. Their relationship has always been like a cat and dog, always fighting and pulling each other down.
However, thinking about the thought of meeting him again, she was excited and was wondering how he was going to react once he saw her.
