Zhao Ming turned to her side and looked at Ji Cheng who was lying flat on his back and was staring at the ceiling while he was lost in his thoughts. The room was dark as lights were turned off but the moonlight coming from the window was enough for Zhao Ming to see Ji Cheng's face that was shining under this dim light.

She pursed her lips and sighed heavily before speaking, " If I could, I would have hidden it forever. Because I knew that you would have this kind of reaction." she said bitterly which caused Ji Cheng's lips to twitch. He didn't turn to see her, but her heavy sigh and low voice were enough for him to know that she was being serious.

Although she was planning to tell him someday because she doesn't want to pretend to be someone else but if she had a choice, she would have hidden it forever. The greed to be loved by him started to grow when she fell for him and started to enjoy the feeling of being loved that he was showing it to her, thinking that she was Zhao Ming.

" At first I was just trying to deal with the situation and find a way to go back to my world. I wasn't planning to lie to you at first. I just...I didn't know that I would start to grow feelings for you. However, despite my ignorance and strange behavior, you keep pushing me to the corner with the love that you were showering me and pampered me, making me left with no choice but to fall for you and hide my identity from you." she said with a faint smile on her lips remembering how he used to accompany her for her meals and allow her to have the first bite and not bind her with the rules and regulations of the palace.

" But I wasn't trying to betray you. I never thought that my actions would look as if I was stealing Zhao Ming's identity and was playing with your heart," she said in a low voice, remembering the time Ji Cheng said that she betrayed him after finding the truth.

Ji Cheng frowned and turned to his side to look at her and when their gazes met and when he saw her clear eyes under this moonlight, he pursed his lips and said, " I...didn't mean that. I can now see why you lied about it, this whole situation is rather messed up. But I am sad that you didn't say anything when I opened my heart to you and told you anything about how I used to feel and my issues with Zhao Ming. I trusted you, but do you think I was not faithful enough to you? Do you think that I am stupid for not knowing what I want and how I feel?"

Zhao Ming stared into his eyes and pursed her lips. Tears started to gush out of her eyes unknowingly, making her unable to speak what's in her mind. She took a deep breath and turned around, " Argh, why is it so cold today? I think we should just go to sleep, it was a tiring day after all." She closed her eyes shut, with her back facing him.

Ji Cheng looked at her back and sighed deeply thinking how puzzling this situation is. He never imagined in his wild dreams then something like this could happen and it would make the relationship between him and Zhao Ming, this awkward.

" Lu shi, bring me a glass of warm water." Zhao Ming said with her eyes closed and coughed lightly.

After a few minutes, she waved her hand and shouted again, " Lu shi, did you hear what I said? Give me a glass of water and mix honey in it as well. My throat is too dry." she said while covering herself with the blanket properly.

" Here."

She frowned when Lu shi didn't reply to her, instead she heard a familiar raspy voice which caused her eyes to snap open in surprise. She sat up with a jerk and cried in pain when she snapped her neck with a force in the process of sitting on the bed.

" Ah, it hurts." she cried in pain and massaged her neck. However, when she saw the man standing in front of her while holding a glass of water, she couldn't help but look at the man in a daze.

Her pupils widened in shock seeing Ji Cheng wearing black trousers and a white shirt, neatly tucked inside his trousers. Seeing him in these clothes, she finally realized that what she thought was a dream, was not a dream but a reality.

So she is back in her world?

Ji Cheng pursed his lips when he saw her staring at him with her eyes widened and rubbed his nape awkwardly, " Does it look weird? Since I can't wear my clothes here, Liwei lent me his clothes to wear. Although this pant is too tight and uncomfortable, he said that it looks fine."

"...."

Zhao Ming blinked seeing him calling Liwei by his name and his arrogance seems to be subsided by a little. Why is he asking me that question? Wasn't he angry with me?

She pursed her lips and hesitantly shook her head, " No. You look so handsome. You look like a model who is ready to go out on the ramp. You look 100 percent better than that Liwei in these clothes." she complimented while looking at him in a daze.

He chuckled hearing her complimenting him and saying that he looks better than Liwei. " Here is your warm water. I don't know where was honey is, so I just got you warm water," he said while passing her the glass.

" Ah, you didn't have to.." she said in a low voice, embarrassedly.

" I am going downstairs. You can get ready and come downstairs for breakfast." He said and left the room, leaving her dumbfounded.

" What? Why is he acting as if it's his house? Why does he look so chill about everything today? Wasn't he angry and low-spirited yesterday? Then what happened today?"
