Chapter 212 - Heart Fluttering.
Ji Dynasty.
Ji Cheng has prepared an outdoor breakfast by the seaside with beautiful landscapes to make her feel better because in the morning Xiao Li and Wen Xu barged into their room and it may have distressed her.
Zhao Ming was feeling a little nervous because the atmosphere became very strange because of the beautiful landscape, sea and the handsome man in front of her, who has become 10 times more handsome.
They both sat while facing each other. Ji Cheng was staring at her with a smile on his face.
She was looking more beautiful and different today in yellow pastel colored gown.
Ji Cheng couldn't take his eyes from her pearl white face which was glowing under the rays of the blazing sun.
As she came after walking a long distance, her face has become red because of it which make her look adorable and enticing.
On the other hand, Zhao Ming was having a hard time looking at his handsome face which became more tempting and attractive due to all the romantic settings.
Her heartbeat unusually became fast as she was having a hard time breathing because of nervousness.
She tried to take a deep breath as she looks sideways towards the sea.
' What's happening to me? Why is my heart pounding so fast? Is it because I walked a long way? Ah..I am feeling hot.'
She starts fanning herself with her hand as she was feeling hot. She tried to cool down her burning face which was red and hot.
Ji Cheng raised his brows when he saw her fanning herself like this.
" Do you feel hot?" he asked her as she was fanning herself.
Her hands stopped midway when she heard his heavy voice which sounded like a mellow to her ears.
It was pleasing and somewhat sexy.
Women are very sensitive towards the voice of the man. The sexy and heavy voice which is pleasing to their ears makes their heart flutter.
The beautiful landscape and all this setting was like a cherry on top of it.
She turned to look at him and bite her lower lip when she felt embarrassed seeing his handsome face.
She gulped and said, " Ye... Yes. A little." she said while stuttering. Her voice was extremely low and coquettish which was very different from her usual tone.
When those words came out of her mouth, even she was shocked when she heard her words.
She was not the kind of person who could talk like this but when she did she felt really strange and weird.
Ji Cheng was surprised when he heard her using a low and provocative tone, his eyes twitched for a moment.
He didn't know how to react so he coughed a little when he noticed her embarrassed face.
' Xie Ming, are you stupid? How can you speak like this? That's gross.' she was cursing herself inwardly.
She felt cringey when she spoke those words. She cannot imagine that she pretended to be a little weak and flirtatious.
'He was more stupid to ask me such a question. Would I feel cold under this scorching sun? Would I fan myself if I was feeling cold? Why does he have to ask that stupid question?' soon she transferred all the blame on him.
Ji Cheng poured the tea for her and said, " You must be hungry right? Let's eat."
After pouring tea, he opens the lid of the dishes which were dumplings, noodles, rice, and soup for her.
It was all her favorite dishes that he had made prepared.
Zhao Ming's eyes flew wide when she saw the dishes in front of her in surprise.
She was touched seeing the favorite dishes of her on the table.
Though she loved western cuisine in her last life, however after coming to this world she could eat Chinese food again and does not feel sick anymore.
She liked these dishes from the day she came here. These dishes were not luxurious or something extravagant but only basic dishes, yet she loved to eat them.
She forgets about the formalities and excitedly picked up her chopsticks to dig in and filled her mouth with food.
Ji Cheng looked at her amusingly when she digs in without waiting for him and filled her mouth with noodles.
Technically she has to wait for him to start first according to palace etiquettes but she forgot about this thing and jumped on the food hungrily.
Ji Cheng chuckled lightly when he saw her eating messily with her mouths full of food and filling it again without chewing it properly.
She was feeling hungry as she got up with the nagging of Wen Xu and Xiao Li.
After that, she had to walk quite a distance in the early morning with her empty stomach. She can't stand being hungry.
She was not mannerless.
It's just, they have more manners than her. Rather than manners for her, restrictions seem a correct word for it.
When she heard Ji Cheng's light chuckle which was deep and pleasing to the ear, she stopped her hand which was picking up more dumplings.
She looked up and saw a smile on his face. Her heart stopped when she saw his eyes which were gazing at her.
The look in his eyes was gentle and different from the way he looked yesterday in the Banquet.
In the Banquet, he looked strong and powerful with all the people around him.
In the Banquet yesterday, she realized that he was truly an Emperor.
But right now, he was just…Ji Cheng.
He was smiling and didn't nag at her for being mannerless.
She doesn't know what she felt...but the feeling was ticklish and nerve-wracking.
She felt that her heart would jump out of her chest when she felt his gaze fixated on her.
She felt her whole body getting hot. It was not because of the hot weather.
This was something else.
Suddenly, she became quiet and started eating properly as she prettily put the dumplings in her mouth and chewed it properly.
She started eating prettily and trying to be ladylike.
Unknown to her knowledge, she doesn't want to show him her messy and clumsy side.
Ji Cheng who was staring at her got confused when she suddenly changed the way of her eating.
All of a sudden, she started eating prettily and looked feminine while eating like this.
An unknown smile appeared on his face when he saw her eating happily and relaxed.
