An Advice from Her Boyfriend

Luo Li was still crying. Her eyes were starting to get puffy. Her nose was already in a pink shade of red. However, even in this pitiful state, she was looking breathtaking. Her beauty looked so mesmerizing that a person may get a wound in their heart just by looking at her.

She grabbed the tissue box near the cabinet and pulled out a tissue. 

Just as she was going to wipe her eyes, her phone suddenly started ringing. She looked at the caller ID. It was Wang Xian. Her boyfriend whom she loved more than herself.

She knew if Wang Xian got to know her present condition he would be worried a lot. He was already in such a vulnerable situation that she could not afford to give him more stress to deal with. She tried to calm herself down. She collected her composure. She was trying desperately to not show anything out of the ordinary.

She picked up the call, and the call was immediately connected, "Hello to the sunshine of my life," as she picked up the call, she heard Wang Xian's voice on the other side.

His voice sounded happy and full of energy. Hearing his voice was like honey to her ears. At hearing his pleased voice, she thought, at least one of us is happy. This is enough for me.'

She was so lost in her thoughts that she forgot to answer him. Wang Xian asked in confusion, "Luo Li, are you there? Can you hear me?"

As she heard this, she immediately replied to him back, "Ye- yes Xian I am- I am here. Please tell me, how are you?"

It was very difficult for her to complete the sentence. But even after trying her best, she still stuttered while speaking. She could barely finish. After that, she put her hand on her mouth to stop the sob that was trying to get out of her mouth.

Meanwhile, Wang Xian also knew Luo Li very well. He suspected that something was not right after hearing her cracked voice. He felt that Luo Li's voice sounded like she was crying or going to cry.

He tried to ask him lovingly, "My Lily flower, please tell me if something is wrong. You know you can tell me anything that is bothering you."

Upon hearing Wang Xian's words, Luo Li's started crying again but putting a hand on her mouth was not enough for her. Thus she made a fist of her hand and she bit her knuckles to stop the sobs that were coming out of her mouth.

She gulped the lump in her throat and spoke, "No- no nothing is wrong, Xian. I- I have a severe cold which is why I can't speak clearly. You don't have to worry about me. How is everything over there?"

Wang Xian knew Luo Li was not speaking the truth. From the time he knew Luo Li, he could tell whenever she was lying to him. But he knew there must be some reason behind her actions.

Although he was not happy that she was hiding her problems from him, he did not want to pressure her. He was not like those boyfriends who wanted to know everything about their girlfriends. Those who even forget what limits are. 

He knew all about limits. He knew sometimes even a lover wanted to have some private space. If you ignore this fact it may create a huge problem in the relationship.

He always respected Luo Li's wishes and provided her with the privacy she needed. If she wanted to keep something only to herself, he would not force her to tell him.

He also knew Luo Li needed time now. She will eventually tell him like she does every time. He replied to her in a calm voice, "Okay, my Lily flower. I will try to believe your excuse for the time being. But you need to eventually tell me why my Lily is sad, okay?"

When Luo Li was busted, she did not feel sad or guilty, instead, she felt warmth spreading inside her. She muttered a yes with difficulty.

Only after that Wang Xian was satisfied. Then he answered Luo Li's previous question, "Fortunately everything is fine here, today. Our schedule is not hectic like the other days. So I managed to get the time and speak to you."

Wang Xian was speaking merryly. Luo Li also gained some strength to collect her composure. She answered him, "That is a very good thing. I was badly missing you. I swear I was getting crazy with each passing hour without talking to you."

Her voice was low and a little difficult to hear. She was still sniffling a little. But she was very happy that she could talk to Wang Xian. 

At hearing her response, Wang Xian chuckled from the other side. He felt what Luo Li was saying was funny. At last, he could not speak and laughed on the other side.

Hearing his laughter, Luo Li pouted her pink lips and spoke in a complaining manner, "Why are you laughing at me? I am telling you the truth. I was going crazy with worrying about you. I was so frustrated that I argued with my High-..."

Luo Li abruptly stopped at the end when she realized she was going to talk about His Highness The Prince, with Wang Xian. She felt today was not her day. She was making mistakes again and again.

She had not told Wang Xian about her origins. He did not know anything about her heritage or her true form. 

She knew in this way she was also behaving like Aman. Both of them feared that their loved ones would leave them after getting to know the truth. She had blind faith in Wang Xian but she still had the lingering fear in a dark corner of her heart that Wang Xian would leave her after she told him the reality of her.

She could not suppress the fear no matter how hard she tried.

Wang Xian asked in confusion, "Your high what, Luo Li?"

Luo Li hastily told him the first excuse that appeared in her mind, "My high-... My high- high school friend. I fought with him and vented all my frustrations on him. That's why I was crying."

Wang Xian felt relieved after hearing this. He was glad that Luo Li was not hiding something serious from him. In his opinion, it was a trivial dispute between two friends that could be easily solved by explaining one's point of view to another.

He sighed and started speaking, "My Lily flower I am glad that it's nothing big. You merely argued with your high school friend. I think it can be solved easily."

"You just have to talk to him and apologize to him for your misbehavior. I assure you after that everything will be fine between you."

Luo Li pouted and replied to him in a complaining manner, "Xian, it's not right you are taking his side too. You are my boyfriend. Aren't you supposed to help me and always take my side? He- He also said some….. very hurtful things to me."

Wang Xian chuckled loudly on the other side. He laughed as he thought about pouting Luo Li. A very broad smile appeared on his face. 

It was not every day when Luo Li behaved like this. But she once told him that she behaves coquettishly only in front of him and his family.

He tried to coax her with soothing words, "Indeed I am your boyfriend Lily. But I will always stand with the right one. No matter if I have to stand against my own family and friends."

Luo Li hummed in response and said, "That is why I love you."

If Wang Xian's smile could broaden further it would have already been. It was the love of Luo Li that gave him the courage to get through his situation. Otherwise, he may have already lost hope.

But he still tried to explain further his point of view. He told Luo Li, "I know my Lily flower it's not entirely your fault. It takes two to make a row. He may have said some hurtful things to you too."

"But you, yourself told me that you were frustrated over the fact that I could not call you for many days and you vent all your frustrations on him. I think you may have said some things that may have caused him great pain without even realizing it."

"After our call try to reflect upon the contents of your arguments. You may realize from where your discussion turned into an argument.

Luo Li always accepted Wang Xian's advice. She knew what he was saying was for her good. Thus, she decided to reflect upon the things she said to Aman in anger.

But first, she needed to talk to Wang Xian with her heart's content. She agreed, "Okay, okay I will reflect upon my wrongdoings. But first, you tell me how are you coping up there?"

Wang Xian replied to her, "Everything is as usual here. But till this time it's peaceful here. And hopefully, it will remain this way."

Luo Li wished for him, "I pray it will remain peaceful."

After that she asked him the question, she was most anxious to ask, "Xian tell me when are you going to return? I want to see you soon. Please tell me."

Wang Xian knew Luo Li was anxiously awaiting his return. He answered her, "I will return on the-"

BOOM! BOOM!

However, before he could finish his sentence two loud booms sounded on the other side. The ground shook under his feet. The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. He also fell.

A person in a white lab coat suddenly rushed inside his current residence - a tent made of canvas. It was a young lady. "Doctor!" She shouted and picked him up from the ground. She picked up his phone and handed him that too. Her face was filled with worry. The young lady who was his assistant spoke hurriedly without even greeting him, "Doctor! There is a sudden attack on the other side. You must hurry. Please come with me as soon as possible."

Wang Xian nodded and agreed, "You go first. I will follow you in a few minutes."

The assistant nodded and left almost running in the outside direction. Wang Xian said to Luo Li in a clear tone, "Lily I have to run now. But I will try to contact you as soon as possible. Don't worry too much about me. Always remember, I love you."

Wang Xian spoke everything in one breath. He did not even give Luo Li a chance to speak. She could only mutter, "But, but…" The call was cut before she could further say anything.

However, she didn't realize this, she still tried to talk with Wang Xian, "Xian! Listen to me… are you alright? Xian? Xian? Xian?!!"

After getting no response she realised that the call was disconnected. Anger and worry again flared inside her. She threw the phone away. 

She grabbed her wavy black her and held her head. She wanted to scream and break things. She wanted to know why she could not protect Wang Xian. That lovable fool even told her not to worry about him.

 How could she not worry about him even after hearing those horrible sounds of war and bloodshed?

That was the reason she was worried about Wang Xian day and night. This worry was even affecting her health and now even her mental control too. 

She hated that Wang Xian was in this kind of situation where she could not go and help him. She was completely helpless in this regard. Of course, she could go and protect Wang Xian with her powers but she also knew Wang Xian wouldn't like it if she stopped him from doing his job.

It did not affect Wang Xian where he was, his only goal was to treat his patients with utmost care and protect them with all his might. 

If he had been at a normal place she wouldn't be worried at all but he was in a very dangerous place where anything could happen to him at any minute.

He was appointed as a doctor in a war zone….
