The Revenge Turned To Love

Xian and Mishi holding each other's hand arrived at a restaurant for their lunch. Xian ordered Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallion, sweet- sour carp and steamed stuffed tofu. 

Xian handed Mishi's phone to her and said, "don't call when you get angry." 

"Why?" Mishi asked, taking the phone from him. 

"Because your anger is really bad. It's like you will kill someone just by talking," said Xian in a teasing tone. 

"What? I don't think it's like that," murmured Mishi and lowered her eyes. Xian held her one hand which was on the table and caressed it lovingly. 

"You look cute when you get angry but I think only I can handle you when you get angry," stated Xian. Mishi slightly smiled when their order came. They both started eating while most of the time, Xian was looking at Mishi.

"Why are you looking at me? You should eat. We have to go to market after this so you'll need energy," said Mishi. 

"How can you be so beautiful in everything you do? I just fell for you," said Xian. Mishi choked her throat hearing such romantic lines from Xian and started coughing.

Immediately Xian filled the glass with water and gave her. He then got up from his chair and caressed Mishi's back. "Be careful," said Xian.

Mishi drank water and thanked him. "I'm good now. You don't need to be-" Mishi stopped saying as she felt the gazes of people on them. She then said in a low voice, "everyone is looking at us." 

"Let them see. They are jealous of us," said Xian and kept caressing her back until Mishi glared at him. Xian sat quickly seeing her glare. After finishing their meals, they left for the market. 

Xian was booking a taxi for them when Mishi said, "Xian, why don't we go from a public transport? It will be fun." 

"Mishi, they are really crowded. What if you got hurt? I can't bear that," Xian said. 

"Xian, I have travelled many times. You will also enjoy it. Let's go," said Mishi and took Xian to a bus stand. They waited for a bus there when Xian saw a crowded bus coming there. 

The bus stopped there and some people came out of it. Seeing the crowd Xian again tried making Mishi understand. "Mishi, it's really crowded. We won't be-" Xian didn't complete his words when Mishi dragged him inside the bus. 

As they went in, Xian was extra careful that no one hit Mishi. "Xian, what are you doing? Why are you protecting me like a bodyguard? Stand straight ...We will get a seat soon," said Mishi with a smile and told Xian to hold the iron bar for support. 

After a few distances, the bus applied brakes. Mishi wasn't able to balance herself when Xian caught her and then made her stand closer to him, with his one hand on her back. Mishi thanked him when Xian said, "I told you to take a taxi but no you want to take a bus," murmured Xian and pulled her closer to him.

"Don't get angry. It's really nice. When we will get a seat, you will enjoy the ride till the market," said Mishi. 

"Ahh," screamed Xian as someone stepped on his foot. "What happened?" Mishi asked worriedly.

"Someone stepped onto my shoe. Be careful. Your feet can get hurt," said Xian and tried looking down when Mishi started laughing at him.

Some people also laughed at Xian who were sitting on the seats which confused Xian. "Why are you laughing?" Xian asked like a kid. 

"That's because you are talking really cute things," replied Mishi with a smile. 

"You can sit here. Our stop has come. By the way, your husband is really caring," said an old woman who was sitting with her husband. Mishi and Xian looked at them.

"He's not-" 

"Indeed, my wife is the most loving woman in this world so I've to take care of her. Thanks for the seats," said Xian and made Mishi sit on the window side. The bus stopped when many people stepped down, thus reducing the rush inside the bus.

"What did you say to her? I'm not your wife," asserted Mishi.

"You're my wife," said Xian. Mishi slightly smiled hearing that but then she quickly averted her gaze from him. She opened the window slightly. The wind blew which made Mishi's hair move here and there. Some hairs entangled with each other when Xian told her to close the window. 

Mishi turned to look at him and asked, "are you getting cold?"

"No. People are looking at you as you're looking more beautiful," muttered Xian. Mishi smiled and then held Xian's hand. "You don't want me to look beautiful?" Mishi inquired. 

"Why won't I want to? It's just I don't want those men to look at you," whispered Xian. Xian then looked outside the window and said, "I guess, we are near the market." Mishi too looked out and told Xian they had to get down. 

The bus stop came and the bus applied the brakes. They both got up and stepped down the bus. "It was fun," said Mishi with a smile. 

"Hmm. It was indeed enjoyable," murmured Xian. They both went towards the left to enter the famous Shandong market. They entered the street market first. 

They strolled the streets when Mishi saw a clothing shop where clothes were handmade. She entered inside the shop with Xian. Checking a few woollens for Xian, she selected two pullovers for him. The sweater was of blue colour with white coloured pattern on the chest and sleeves.

"Wear it! There's cold outside," said Mishi, handing the sweater to Xian.

Xian nodded and wore the sweater over the shirt. "Sir, you're looking really good in this piece. You should also purchase something for your wife," said the lady shop owner. 

Mishi was shaking her head in refusal when Xian said, "Mmm. You're saying right. I will surely buy it for my wife." 

"Xian, why don't we buy for everyone?" Mishi suggested.

"Yeah. We can do that. Mom loves handmade things and she will definitely love it," said Xian. The helper in the shop provided them with a variety of handmade clothes. 

They bought the things for their families. Xian then bought a uniquely woven shawl for Mishi. "It will protect you from the cold. Please pack this separately and rest others separately," said Xian to the helper. 

After buying the clothes, they came out when Xian took bags from Mishi's hands. "You don't need to carry them. Your husband will do that," said Xian.

Mishi lightly hit his shoulder. "Why are you telling everyone that I'm your wife?" Mishi asked. 

"You will be soon. Let's get married," said Xian with a smile. Mishi smiled hearing him and said, "You're really unbelievable." 

"I'm madly in love with you," said Xian. Mishi smiled when Xian said, "I'll book a taxi now because these bags have to be put somewhere. That way, we can enjoy the shopping." Mishi nodded and grabbed a few bags from Xian's hand. 

Xian booked a taxi for a day and then walked out of the street market, to go shopping from there. Outside the market, they found the taxi. Xian put the bags inside that first and told Mishi to get in. Talking with the driver, Xian told him to take them to a shopping complex. 

Roaming the entire day, they returned to the resort. As soon as Mishi entered the room, she fell on the bed. "Ahh, it was so tiring at the same time so much fun," said Mishi, looking at the ceiling. Xian put the shopping bags on the couch and pulled out the sweater he was wearing. 

He took the water in a glass and drank that. After that he went to the washroom, taking his clothes, to freshen up. After 15 minutes when he came out, he saw Mishi fell asleep because she was tired. A smile appeared on his lips seeing Mishi. 

He went near her and then made her sleep comfortably on the bed. Putting the blanket over her, he planted a soft kiss on her forehead. 

Stroking her hairs lovingly, he said, "I've decided to tell everything to you regarding us. I can't stay now without you even for a second. I just want you to be by my side. We both are husband- wife, still living apart. If we will live together, I know we will recall many things," murmured Xian.

Slight frowns appeared on Mishi's forehead when Xian put his index finger over there. The frowns disappeared and a slight smile carved on her lips. 

Xian kept gazing at her when he felt he's also tired. He turned off the lights, got on the bed beside Mishi and embraced her in his warmness. Mishi put her hand around his waist.

"Thank you for coming in my life," Xian said to himself, embracing Mishi closer to him.
