This heart beats only for you. You're the only girl I loved from my young days till now. Back then I was immature, didn't know what to say or do to please you...but now." He lifted her chin with his right hand as he looked at her eyes as if staring straight at her soul.  Luo Lixi was shaking as she felt her heart was pounding rapidly. This stimulation was too much for her. As he forced her to face him, just looking at those familiar black eyes caused her to feel tingling in her heart.  As her hot tears kept falling she heard a deep voice rang by ears, "Listen carefully. I had said this back then, but you didn't believe me yet thought I was joking with you. Now I'll say this again..."

Gift

In her hunger, Luo Lixi didn't even notice that Sheng Ruming said she was his wife, even if she did, what can she do? Staying in the shadows of comfort of her family, there was not a case where she had to experience hunger and this time, it was a noble experience to her.

Also, people would misunderstand them if he said otherwise.

The old woman placed the wooden bowl at a side and came towards them slowly. She took a charger light from the floor and scrutinised the people before her carefully with her small eyes. 

"This place doesn't sell anything like foodstuff. You can only find water to drink and other household things." The old woman replied as she passed by them and entered the section where goods were placed for selling. 

The couple followed her as they went there as well. The old woman told them to sit on a wooden stool beside the counter as she placed the light on it and gazed outside. She was wearing old tattered clothes with many stitches on them, also her height was 4'5" so she was very short. 

Her skin was wrinkled and her body was very thin as she was very hard working like other rural people.

The old lady looked outside from a window as the rain had turned more heavy. She didn't see their car outside of where she was standing so she thought they must have come from a nearby place. 

She told them, "Stay until the sky stops raining."

"Thanks." Luo Lixi nodded.

Sheng Ruming snaked his hand around her waist and hugged her tightly to provide her with some warmth from him... 

"You shouldn't have come outside in such a bad climate. People become sick easily in weather like this." She reprimanded them as she took a cloth from the side and began to wipe the counter. It was her habit to do it everyday.

"Actually, we didn't think it will start to rain again. We came out when the sky stopped raining in the morning...Acchoo!" She sneezed loudly when she was speaking. 

Sheng Ruming saw her face was turning red so he placed his hand on her forehead to take her temperature. 

"It's my fault that you are having a fever." He said regretfully.

"My shop has herbal medicines to cure cough and fever. I can guarantee she will be okay tomorrow if she drinks it now." The old woman walked up to a shelf and took out a little glass bottle from it. Sheng Ruming walked up to her and took the bottle in his hand. 

"Is it safe?" He asked as he carefully observed it but there was only a name on it with nothing else. 

He was reluctant to give it to her. 'What if it has side effects?' He thought as he took a packet of tissue papers and went to her side. Luo Lixi wiped her nose with them.

"I have made it with my own secret recipe. Many people come from different places to buy this." She turned towards Luo Lixi and told her in a weak voice, "Young lass, you should believe in this old woman."

"Okay. Thanks aunt." She said as she took the bottle from Sheng Ruming's hand. She gripped the bottle in her hand without having any intention to drink it. 

Sheng Ruming remembered that she hates bitter medicines. He went beside her head and spoke out softly, "Should I feed it to you?" 

Luo Lixi remembered the time when he fed her with his mouth and turned pensive.

"No need. I will drink it myself." With such an old woman before them, if he did it like before, she didn't know what she would do.

Sheng Ruming saw her stiff countenance. He took the bottle from her hand as he opened it and placed it on her lips. But then he remembered she didn't tell them how much one should drink at a time.

"Aunt, how much should I give her?"

"It is such a small one. To get a better effect, she should drink the whole bottle."

 Luo Lixi became shocked when she heard it. 'How is that considered a small bottle?!' She thought as if the world always wants to place her in miseries. 

Closing her eyes tightly, she felt the medicine entering her throat. But to her surprise, it was sweet like honey, also it tasted like flowers. She opened her eyes as she finished the whole bottle in one go.

Sheng Ruming was a little amused as he saw her drink the whole bottle without any resistance. 'Guess, it is not bitter.' He chuckled in his mind as he threw the bottle in a trash bin. 

They waited for some time for the rain to stop while she became bored for sitting a long time, so she strolled around the place and took out many things to buy whatever caught her interest. 

When she saw a particular white ring with beautiful bamboo designs engraved on it, she took it immediately and put it on Sheng Ruming's forefinger.

"Is it a gift for me?" He asked her while his whole mind was full of warmth. He was very happy that she put the ring on him herself.

"Nope. I am buying it with your money. So it can't be considered a gift." Luo Lixi turned her head subconsciously and saw his handsome face very close to her. She told him with a little smile on her lips. 

"In the future, I will buy a gift with my own money and give it to you. Now, I'm poorer than a beggar on the streets." 

"You have chosen it for me so it is a gift. Love, my money is also yours." Luo Lixi just smiled deeply when she heard it. Without saying anything, she picked other things and gave them to him to hold.
