CHAPTER 199

While they ate, Ye Chaoxiang kept on looking at his wristwatch. He was beginning to get nervous with every seconds that ticked by and he was also having doubts about the surprise he planned for her.

'Would she like? What is she does not fancy these kind of things? I can't afford to not talk to her for weeks. I would go crazy,' he thought.

'No no no. Relax Ye Chaoxiang. You've got this. This is a good opportunity and you need to cease it. Whether she likes it or not just do it,' he steeled himself.

In what seemed like ages, the time finally came. He jumped of the bonnet and adjusted his clothes before beckoning on her to do same and come closer to him with a smile.

Ning Xiaozhi eyed him suspiciously but she still did as he said. Ye Chaoxiang stood behind her and used his left hand to cover her eyes.

"Ye Chaoxiang?! What are you doing?" She asked as she bit down on her lips in anticipation. Just what is the surprise? Ye Chaoxiang urged her to move as he directed her carefully.

"Ye Chaoxiang! You are not going to leave me are you?"

"Just trust me and relax. I gave you my words earlier thatvu will not push you off the cliff," he assured her. After walking a little, they came to a halt.

"Are you ready?" He asked as smiled cheekily.

"Yeah... I guess I am."

Ye Chaoxiang slowly tool his hand off her face as he let her open her eyes at her own will. By the time Ning Xiaozhi dd not feel his hands on her eyes anymore, they flew open to behold the wonders of nature before them.

"Gasp. Oh my world..." Ning Xiaozhi gasoedd as her hands flew to her mouth. She became speeches after that. Then she turned to look at him with one if her charmingly bright smiles.

"Ye Chaoxiang. I love it. Thank y- mm." Her gratitude was swallowed by a pair of cold lips. Her eyes widened shock. Her whole body turned stiff. He is kissing her.

Meanwhile, Ye Chaoxiang felt reliefed as his lips settled on hers. It was a contrast to his cold lips and it was soft. His eyes closed as he deepened the kiss somewhat easing her in the process. Then Ning Xiaozhi gave in. She shit her eyes and responded to his slow and tender sweet kiss. It was af time stood still and everything around them froze except from them.

Ye Chaoxiang 's hand expertly wrapped around ger bare waist while the other held her head in place. The kiss lasted for a while before they broke off from each other's lips. Ye Chaoxiang rested his forehead on hers as they catched their breaths. After a while, their eyes open and met.

"I am never going to leave you," he murmured to their hearing. Ning Xiaozhi was still registering what just happened between the two of them. They shared a kiss. They share a long passionate kiss in sunset.

"Chaoxiang..."

RING RING

The sound of phone ringing broke the two out of their worlds. Ning Xiaozhi tool her phone out of her pocket and looked down at it to see who disrupted their moment.

"Hello Renxiang," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"Hey babe. I just wanted to let you know that we have gotten to your apartment. Are you coming home?" Bai Renxiang's cheerful voice rang out.

"Uhm...maybe in an hour's time. I am still with my friend and the place we are at is quite far from my place. Make yourselves at home."

"Okay. Enjoy your outing." The call ended.

Ning Xiaozhi still did not lift her head even after the call was over. She held her phone to her chest as she blushed when memories of the kiss flash through her mind. Ye Chaoxiang understood that she was shy but she could not stay like that for long. He slide his hand under her chin and gently lifted her face to his sight. 

"Xiaozhi you said you were with your friend. Who is it?" Hus question confused her.

"Which other friend am I with right now?" She questioned back as she furrowed her brows.

"Oh! But from what I know friends do not share a kiss. Or do they?"

Immediately those words left his lips, the blush Ning Xoaizhi had managed to hide resurfaced. She hid her beet red face in his chest as she lightly smacked his shoulder.

'How can he ask me such questions? Hmph. So shameless. But wait minute. If he says friends don't kiss then is he... Gasp.' Ning Xiaozhi immediately raised her head to meet his eyes.

"Ye Chaoxiang are you-"

"Be my girlfriend. Ning Xiaozhi, please be my girlfriend," Ye Chaoxiang cut her words.

Ning Xiaozhi was stunned. She had no words to say as she kept on looking at his eyes searching for sincerity in them. She it alright. Ning Xiaozhi saw his sincerity and his affection and there was also fear.

Instead of giving him an answer, she dove in for a kiss. Getting himself together, Ye Chaoxiang kissed her back as he placed his other hand on her waist while she encircled hers around his neck.

"I don't want to sound too desperate but I have always thought of being your girlfriend. There is no way I am gonna miss this offer so don't be scared," Ning Xiaozhi said after they broke off the kiss.

"Thank you," was all he says as he smiled. 

They held each other in their embrace as they watched the sun set. The sky had a mixture of red, yellow and a very little hint of purple. It gave of the feeling of warmth and an assurance that everything is going to be alright.

Ning Xiaozhi and Ye Chaoxiang sighed into their embrace. They wished this time would never come to an end.. Staring at each other, they shared another kiss, allowing the setting sun to bless and witness their love for each other.
